Influencer Couple Will Spend Thanksgiving Apart 3 Months After Wedding

Just three months after influencers Kristin and Noah Schnacky tied the knot, they decided to spend Thanksgiving apart.

“Saying goodbye for our first Thanksgiving married because neither of us want to miss out on moments with our own family,” Kristin, 28, wrote via TikTok on Tuesday, November 25, sharing a video of the couple hugging in a park. “[We] realized this was the best choice for us.”

Kristin also captioned her upload, “Tough decisions 💔.”

After Kristin’s announcement drew criticism from other social media users who lamented the pair’s choice not to spend the holiday together, she seemingly hit back. (Kristin and Noah primarily share lifestyle and relationship content.)

“Unpopular opinion, but so happy to be back home to see my whole family,” she captioned a Wednesday, November 16, TikTok video, where she pretended to pout while listening to Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas.”

According to the social media personality, the song was her “theme song” since she was spending Thanksgiving in New York while Noah, 28, had flown south to Florida.

Kristin later revealed via her Instagram Stories that it was the first time she and Noah said “goodbye” since they got married in August. Kristin and Noah, who got engaged in February, said “I do” in a dreamy New York City wedding on August 27.

“A new chapter of our fairytale begins, introducing Mr. and Mrs. Schnacky,” the proud groom wrote via Instagram days later.

The influencers’ big day subsequently went viral after members of the New York Fire Department showed up as a tribute to Kristin’s late father, who died in the line of duty during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“Yesterday, I truly understood what it means when firefighters say ‘it’s a brotherhood.’” Kristin wrote via Instagram. “Firefighters (new & retired) from my dad’s firehouse Rescue One showed up to my hotel and escorted me all the way to our venue where Noah was waiting at the altar.”

She continued, “They stopped their life to be a part of my special day to honor my dad. Walking out of the hotel to see all the firefighters with the two trucks instantly made me bawl my eyes out, it truly was symbolism of my dad walking me down the aisle, and I know it’s exactly how he would have wanted it, this one is for you, dad.”

Noah, for his part, replied in the comments section that he was honored the FDNY crew came to support their wedding.

“I’m stunned by the love the FDNY has,” Noah commented. “What an honor to have them as a part of our special day.”

Kristin, who was 3 years old when her dad died, has been vocal about honoring his legacy as she grew up.

“It’s hard to tell if I remember him from the stories or if I remember him from just memory. I was a daddy’s girl and my mom always says I was his prize,” she recalled to CBS News at the time. “He just loved me so much.”

Kristin further told the outlet that having the FDNY crew attend her wedding was “the most special thing in the entire world.” She and Noah also set her dad’s former uniform on a seat during the ceremony, where she was accompanied down the aisle by her paternal grandfather.
