The wedding itself is so short, it's good to enjoy the lead up and planning and not rush through it. Make it the way you want so you have wonderful memories.
Absolutely!! We are enjoying every step of the wedding planning and learning new things together
Early December we ordered a new bed, which was delivered and got put together for us by that company in the week before Christmas.
Three fitters showed up and one of them was deaf and mute.
Your channel played a big part in why I was able to not only thank him but wish him a merry Christmas in sign language.
Thank you so much for what I not only learned through your channel but was inspired to keep learning to sign.
This young man was smiling all over and beaming with joy. The both of us had tears in our eyes and his colleagues said none of their customers has ever been able to sign with him.
Btw, his colleagues don't understand sign language either, but the three of them kind of invented their own sign language to be able to do their job together and it works fine for them.
If ya can't learn the language, creating one is the next best bet I guess!!! So happy he can communicate with his colleagues and got to sign his language to somebody new. Kudos.
That is so kind! Thank you for being such a good human being!
Yay, take your time, wedding planning is no joke! Congratulations is in order!
Java is adorable ❤️
There’s a lot of moving parts, for sure. But we got this! Thank you :)
Ps we agree! We love Java 🥰
@@SignDuoChannel I'm so happy for you guys ❤ I've been watching your channel since 2019
I missed your videos so much bc I enjoy watching the signing and learning from you guys since you make it so relatable. Very happy to see you guys post. You’ve been missed.
I am so happy to see you two back on here. I hope your wedding turns out perfect for the 2 of you. There are so many decisions and so many factors that it is wild.
Thanks! It’s good to be back on UA-cam. We’re sure it will be just perfect 🥰
As far as the ring goes I have 2 suggestions! Either have 2 rings, one that's nice and for when you go out together and a different one for when you are doing any sort of manual labor. Or, what my husband did was go to the jeweler and ask for whatever the toughest metal is. I think his ring is made of tungsten, they can't bend or break easily and basically would have to be cut off your finger if for some reason it needed to be removed and you couldn't get it off the regular way. Also, for comfort, rounded beveled edges, instead of a more hard square bevel makes it much more comfortable for your finger and hand! My husband uses his hands daily and never has to worry about his ring breaking or getting bent, and it's super comfy because of the rounded edges so that it flows into the finger instead of being a hard edge against it. Hopefully I've described it well enough you can find something similar! Good Luck with all the planning!
Agreed to all of this!!!
It’s soooooo hard to make wedding decisions because it’s generally the biggest event that people have ever needed to plan. I think you hit the nail on the head Ellen when you said that you are learning what you like and don’t like- figuring out how to really own your perspective. That’s a big step for young adults and a much needed one before starting a family. ❤ I love to see such thoughtfulness of each other in your relationship and really respect how you give each other time and space to grow. What a wonderful way to start your marriage journey. 👏🏼🤟🏼
I just want to say that I have loved following your journeys over the past few years. I also think that you should just take your time and not rush the wedding plans. I want to say that you both have the best smiles and your eyes really light up when you are talking with each other. That is very special! Many blessings to you both!!
Thank you for being here the past few years. We appreciate your support Marty. And your kind compliments 😊
We have been married 21 years November. I pushed out the engagement a year to plan and it was worth it. I think the best thing during the planning was allowing family to come in and help with decisions. No joke it brought my family closer and lots of great memories. I didn’t do it all with my hubby I made it special including grandma, sister, mom, mom-in-law and sister-in-law. It was a bonding experience I will never forget and don’t take for granted. Sorta like my gift to them as well, flowers, dress, cake, the hall and decorations were all from family. The anniversary was all about hubby and me, as well as all decisions leading after that.
I think having this communication between you is SO important. I have seen so many couples where the guy stays out of it because he doesn't have strong opinions and the girl gets upset because she thinks he doesn't care or doesn't want to be involved, even if that may not be true. Or one partner feels like the other person is TOO controlling and they don't get a say. Having open and honest conversations really helps couples understand each other and their real motive behind their actions. Usually it's not as nefarious as you imagine.
I think you guys are 100% right to take your time- you're already together in every other way, don't have to necessarily have the formal wedding to be a couple. Look at folks like Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn; they do what works for them. Congratulations, by the way! For some reason youtube stopped showing me your channel, but recently has started up again. Just ignore people who are trying to force the wedding etc, take your time!
Dogs never do the tricks first time you tell them to especially when someone is watching🤣🤣🤣
Haha so true 😆 or when she’s on camera
Oh and I just wanted to say that the big decisions are find the location and that helps you pick a date, and then everything else gets planned around that. Everything else is smoother. You just need a checklist of items and go down it deciding if you want to include it or not. But most importantly, if a big wedding is not the way you want to go, then keep it comfortable and casual. It’s really whatever makes you both happy. The memories will last forever so of course a big family party is ideal for that, but it’s most important that you are both not breaking your bank just to meet expectations. Be happy and do it happily even if it’s smaller or not fancy. The only thing people want to see is your love and happiness together. ❤
Java's eyes omg she looks so 🙄 "why am I laying down..." That was the most reluctant down ever loll
Your wedding rings and engagement rings should match. Also, Ryan, make sure you remember to take off your ring when you're working or doing something with your hands where you might accidentally lose the ring or get it scratched up n stuff. Ellen, I love your engagement ring, how cute. Congratulations to y'all.
Never thought I'd be so happy to see a dog online. Yayyyy it's Java!!! So glad y'all aren't rushing. Enjoy the season you're in. ❤
We’re happy you like Java. We will! ❤️
Ryan can get a "dress" ring-fancy and also, a silicone one--which is handy for when he's working on things...this is super common for us guys.
I was thinking the same thing. Enso Rings has a diverse selection.
@JimJ704
That's interesting 😃 In my country I have never seen a silicone wedding ring or anyone changing out ring to do something. We just take it off if we feel like you can't use it. But usually expecially older man wedding rings have gotten a bit small as their hands have widened out and they can't even get the ring out anymore 😄 Those rings expecially are not on the way of anything.
Your videos is honestly my comfort in all ways. i've been watching your videos for years! and still never fail to make me feel at home like a family!
also i just admire how both of you ' communicate ' and share each other's opinions to work it out together no matter what the topic are, really makes me feel so secure! It just shows how accepting of both of you are in reality, the way both of you are the perfect match from heaven!! I truly hope the best for your family and everyone!!
I always appreciate hearing more of your story. Fun to discover there was a great signing couple in the same area sharing the language - you've both really helped me get back into learning the language! Nothing but good wishes for you both.
Wow! Its great to see you guys back! Definitely missed!
I'm happy that you are back. I missed you a lot. Congratulations on your engagement. 😊
i've been watching your guys' videos for years now, and i'm so happy to be caught up on your most recent ones about your engagement. congratulations!! it almost feels like my parents are getting married haha. as for rings, i would say get whatever ring you'd like to get (don't limit yourself to something practical) and instead get a ring keeping necklace. that way, you can keep it in a safe spot when you're working with your hands, and back on your finger when it's not. if you're not particular about having it on your hand all the time, then even just a simple quality chain. think creatively with your options!! i wish you both so much happiness in your lives.
I love this video so much. You two are so amazing, and I love you both so much as well! I'm really glad to know that you are taking your time with the wedding, because it's sooooooo important! My cousin planned her wedding last year, and it was an Indian wedding (which basically meant all the different ceremonies associated with it lasted for quite a few days, haha).
We didn’t have a fancy wedding back in 1976….I just bought a dress from Cato and my husband wore his dress blues. We were in the military at the time. The chapel was free and we just went back to the house for cake and light lunch. I believe the cake cost more than my dress. Just try not to stress about stuff and enjoy the planning.
I found y'all's account in the middle of the night and love watching your videos. I had a Deaf friend growing up and I hated not ever having the local recourses to learn ASL. I have gotten multiple recourses now and hope to start attending classes soon. You both are an awesome couple and I hope you live happy, and fun filled lives.
Cool 😊. Just came across this channel from my UA-cam feed.
Happy to see you three! Nice choice of ring, good job Ryan! The hardest thing for me for my wedding was staying in budget! We had so many friends helping us out with food, decorations and entertainment, offering their help for free, but we still went over budget! I’m sure when your two families come together for the special occasion, all will be the one of the best days of your lives! All the best to you! Laura
So happy when I see y'all post! Love your content and I've learned a TON of asl/signs from y'all. Thank you for sharing your lives with us 💜🤟
That warms our heart that you like our videos! Also great that you can use them to learn some sign language. 😊❤️
The ring is so pretty!!
I think taking the time and not stressing about deadlines is a good way to go about the wedding, since it will be a special time. Im sure you dont want to look back and think “omg it was so stressful to plan the wedding, I struggled”
Love that you two are posting again! I watched you a ton when I took my first asl class a few years ago, and I just started back up in an online interpreter program a few months ago, so it's nice to watch your videos and get a little bit if practice in while doing something I enjoy: watching you two. I'd love for you to do a video talking about if Ellen finished any of her interpreting classes, what she learned, Ryan's experiences and thoughts on what makes a good or bad interpreter, etc!
We’re glad you enjoy our videos and maybe we’ll answer that in a future video 😊
I agree, take your time! I did ours in 9 months and it was SO STRESSFUL. Beautiful, but definitely wish I had given myself more time!
SO happy you posted this channel is really helping me learn sign!
We’re glad you can use our videos to help you learn sign language 😊
SignDuo I don’t know if you remember me It’s Jasper, the very first video I saw of you guys. Was the drive tru the first one, I remember learning how to sign was really hard I had a asl teacher who taught me everything he then moved back to his home state. He said he would come back in the summer. Sadly my family and I moved churches, there wasn’t much we could do. The last thing he taught my friends and I was to speak and sign without our voices. I will never forget that most amazing moment. I had a crush on the most cutest boy ever. Last year my friend and I started having feelings for each other and then this past Nov 24th we started dating I’m still learning asl and I’m going to be teaching my boyfriend asl as well. I just wanted to say that I’m very proud of the journey we’ve been on thank you for everything I sincerely mean that. ❤ thank u SignDuo and again good luck. Sincerely Jasper Koehler
So happy to see you both! I love your videos. Enjoy the process of planning your wedding because the day is a blur. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey!
So true! Thank you! Glad you love our videos
i can't wait to hear about how your wedding went! it's going to be so wonderful for you both, i have no doubt.
It's wonderful seeing you two! Congratulations on your engagement. Please take your time with wedding planning. There will always be people with questions as soon as you are married, they will ask about kids and then more kids. It's really all about what makes the two of you happy. Enjoy this time and go at your own pace. (Loved the 'Woof')
Me too!
I love Java too!
I like the idea of going at your own pace so you can enjoy these moments.
Good to see y'all and Java! Take all the time you want planning so you can enjoy it.
We will! 😊
I love watching your videos, they always make me smile and lift me up.❤
Still here and still excited for your journey! Thanks for the update. 💝💝💝
Thanks for being here! 💕
I absolutely love seeing you guys in this new place in your lives. 😊 it is definitely smart to just pace yourselves in planning for the wedding. You guys have built such a strong bond and it’s such a beautiful relationship. Soo happy for you guys 🤓
Thank you for your support 😊
you guys are the sweetest 😭❤
Amazing you’re back! Are you going to make anymore vlog videos. Day to day life - love those. ❤
You guys are so in love (and so so cute together). Love all the openness and that you guys feel comfortable sharing your perspective with us. Love the ring and a simple gold band would be best if you work with your hands a lot. Congratulations again and all the best with the wedding preparations. Exciting times! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Love the video! I just got married in November. So much planning! Don’t rush and do it at your own time :)
Yes! Thank you! Congrats on your marriage. May you guys be blessed ❤️
I might have mentioned this before, but you guys should do a sign language word or phrase of the day. You teach us sign language!
The most important thing is that you do what you want to do ❤
I hope everything goes well for you two! Many blessings on yourselves and your loved ones! 🙌🏽
Thank you Miguel! 👌
First, I’m so excited for y’all!! Congrats and don’t feel rushed, that day is about you two!
Second, I have a question!
I have a rare disease that has taken my hearing in my right ear completely and it’s about 50-60% gone in my left ear. My right ear went in less than 2 months. I dove DEEP into learning ASL so I could communicate with my husband and kids, but they don’t really have an interest in learning it. I’m trying to not let it hurt my feelings because they don’t truly understand that I’m deaf in one ear and about to be deaf in the other ear because I’ve been hearing all my kids life up until this point. So I’m trying hard to not get hurt feelings but I’m human and it does hurt.
Here’s my question, how should I try to persuade them to learn ASL for me? Or should I even bother?
Ryan, how would you bring it up to Ellen if she didn’t show any interest in learning for you?
P.S. I’m learning sooo much and sooo fast by watching your videos! Thank you!!!
❤❤❤😂❤🎉 Congratulations! Hugs from Seattle!
Congrats to you guys! Loved seeing your doggo! So adorable!
Thank you! We like that you love seeing Java girl. We love sharing her with you guys
Congratulations ❤
Absolutely adore when yall post! Glad to hear you're doing well 🥰🤟
I’m glad you enjoy our videos! Thank you. We hope you are well too
Im so glad to see another post!!!
you both have no idea how happy your videos make me. i am 24 and have never been so lost in life. never had a bf trying to get a good job right now. hoping someday i find true love too. it is good to at least know it exists
You got this! Keep your head up. Your 20’s are not meant to be for worrying ❤️
I made my wedding dress so my husband saw it every day while I worked on it! It added to the memories. I wish I hadn’t taken a year to plan though, we had a really simple wedding and after planning for that long and it being over quick it felt like - ugh, we could have planned that all within a few months and been married sooner. Ah well! Haha. Been married 13 years now ❤. Nice to get your guys’s updates!
Oh and tip if you don’t already know about em!! Silicone wedding bands! Of course get your actual wedding band but Ryan a silicone for when you’re working would be really good (safe) and they’re comfortable!
I wanted to have a tattoo artist at our wedding ceremony to tattoo rings but my husband chickened out 😂
Love you two so much.... congrats and cannot wait for the day.... and you both are going to be gorgeous no matter what you wear.
You two are Amazing thanks for the story I have been following since the beginning
Ellen, your ring is beautiful!!
Ryan, Maybe think of getting a mix of metals to wear when you aren't working. If you work with your hands, maybe think about getting a band that bends with your hands-im not sure of the material, but they make them specifically for men who use their hands a lot
Good to see you guys !!!
Hey Sign Duo! I absolutely love your videos and I’ve been enjoying watching them for a while now - I’ve learned so much!!
I have a question that I’d love you to answer either directly or in a video - what is it like to look for a job as a person who is deaf, and then what is it like to work at a job when you’re deaf? What’s your experience with working as a person who is deaf?
I agree-- take your time rather than in a hurry. Being in a rush is a red flag and it might not be successful in the end. Happy to hear that you guys are doing fine! 🤟
Oh yeah, I had some experience in wearing a ring with some diamonds, but the diamonds fell off when I worked really rough with my hands. If you plan to get one, you might have to put the ring aside before going to do some work by hand. It's kind of pain in the butt if you have to set it aside and then forget to take it back on your finger. 🤦♀
I recently found your channel and wanted to congratulate you on your engagement! At the time, my fiance and I went together to choose everything except my wedding dress as we were on a pretty tight budget. We wanted goid pictures, so that was the biggest expense for us, but I am so glad we did. Too bad it was in the days before digital pics!! My husband is a music teacher and plays/teaches piano. He went with a comfort band so it wouldn't cut into his fingers. He also builds lots of models and works with his hands a lot. He did not want to have to always take his ring off (he would lose it), and we couldn't afford two sets of rings. He would forget to change it out anyway...😂. The inside of the ring is shaped differently, and he has been wearing it for almost 32 years now. He was really glad we spent a little extra for it. Take your time planning. Do what will special for you and your family. We chose to light a unity candle to symbolize the joining of our two families. You two are aware of the other's feeling so this will be a special day for both of you. I like that you are using your channel to educate and are more mature and calm compared to others out there. I like that you are personable and let us in on a few things in your personal life too. I wish you all the best!❤
So great to see all 3 of you!! 😊 Do yall want to have your wedding during a specific season? What about during a specific Japanese zodiac year? My sister in law is Thai and she and my brother got married during the year of the dragon ❤. Love & hugs😊
Whatever the dress, i am sure Ryan will be wowwed when he sees Ellen for the first time in the wedding!! im sure it will be a very memorable experience for both of you! i wish i could like a video more than once!! All the best to both of you!!
Totally agree with u as its good idea time to take it easy n get ideas .. I thought u wanted travel around the world before settling dwn.. so what have u been up to these days .. wud be lovely to see java being the ring bearer ! Great to see u again. Take care 😊
Glad you two are doing well!
glad to see another video from you both.
I really enjoy your videos - welcome back! From Nova Scotia
Glad you like them! Good to be back- from Southern California
Look into getting a “comfort fit” band for your ring. Best thing ever so comfortable to wear. I bought one for my work wedding ring as a nurse and wear it more than my diamond one.
A backyard, a BBQ, some beer & wine is all you need. Keep it simple & comfortable.
Love that!
You guys are so cute together. Love the vibes! Good luck planning the wedding and hope you share some pictures of the special day with us.
Thank you! We try to keep the vibes positive
This is exactly how my husband and I were, we were engaged for 3 years and ended up having a small wedding. We are both introverted and just didn’t like the idea of being in the spotlight lol 😂 My husband got a mixed white and gold band and loved it…he just lost it after 10 years 😢 he’s so bummed. I don’t like having things on my hands and often times don’t wear my rings so just get what you want!! At the ended of the day you’re making a promise to each other in your own way and your family is celebrating. Nothing more. Have fun, it’s just one day amongst an ocean together. ❤
Man, you guys seem so genuine and nice and so much fun. ❤ Like the kind of friends people have for life. I’mma just keep watching these videos and pretend we’re friends in real life haha 😊😊 much love to you both
❤ amazing! Take your time and find what’s best for you guys! 🤟🏼
Thank you! Will do! ❤️
So many decisions to be made and it can be very overwhelming for sure but take your time and go with what you both feel is right. Don't rush it for the sake of it.
We’re definitely taking our time and enjoying every bit :)
You don’t have to do everything that they try to convince you that you need. I would say make sure you’re comfortable and invest in a good photographer. The best tip we got was plan in a moment to just stop with each other and absorb the day. Otherwise it flies by
Hello signduo, I would just like to say I love your channel, I've been watching your channel since it came out and I love it, I loved sign language even though I'm not deaf
Yeah, take your time-personally, I think a good photographer, maybe one with almost a journalistic style, is really important. It captures those memories, and keeps than tangible.
We love that style of photography. Hopefully we can find someone who can nail that!
Y'all are so sweet and cute together!! I agree with Ryan that Ellen will certainly be beautiful in whichever dress she chooses ❤
You two are great together! ❤
Lovely!
Just a reminder to anyone who needs to hear this: It's also ok to NOT stick to wedding traditions, and just do what feels comfortable for you as a couple. You want to choose a dress together with your partner! Go for it!
You don't want to make a lot of detailed decisions about things that perhaps don't matter much to you? Delegate and focus on what you care about (maybe it's the music, and not the decoration, etc).
I'm also wedding planning, so I know it can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I also feel the same way about wanting to share my dress choice and make decisions together, but I also want it to be a surprise 😅
It sure is nice to hear from you? I'm happy for you. Good luck in planning your wedding. You two look like a wonderful couple
Thank you so much!
My wife and I got married for 30 years in December 2023 already. My wife's full real diamond and my ring diamond too. You and your girlfriend, a young couple, will be experienced for many years.
Congrats on 30 years of marriage. Thank you for your support ☺️
Missed you two!!! And your dog!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would suggest thinking about “what kind of day” do you want? The ceremony is only about 15-20 minutes. The rest of the time is the “party” and time with family and friends. And taking pictures. Yes you only do this once, so to speak, so yes you want it to be special. So what kind of atmosphere do you tend to like? Formal, casual, dancing, conversing, a formal meal or buffet and casual style meal? Go by what you tend to like already, if you’ve ever planned a birthday party, look at that to see what you tend to like…. If you can answer those questions, next is to choose the things that fit that atmosphere and setting. There are way too many choices out there, and deciding on atmosphere will help narrow down the choices. Another question is how big a wedding do you want and what can you afford. You could have a general reception with just “cake and punch” and have only a family dinner afterward, or a meal for everyone. 30 people or 100? Another idea I’m just throwing out is to just do a civil wedding at the nearby courthouse with close family only, and then have a post-wedding party after. Or have a wedding package thing at a Las Vegas chapel with as many guests as you want (they have a price range from very cheap, all the way up to very expensive). Some hotels and places in “wine country” have wedding packages too. That is assuming you are in California.
Anyway, just throwing out ideas…. I think if you decide the atmosphere and type of wedding you actually want, the other choices that fit your choice in that, will fall into place. Even color- what is your favorite color? Etc Make lists and put picture ideas on the page… seeing might help.
Love you Both! So good to see you! 🤗🤟
Good to be here! 🤟
@@SignDuoChannel 🤗🤟
Ellen your ring looks like my mom's!
I'm just starting my 2nd class if asl up here in Canada. I love your channel and it has helped me to build my vocabulary. Thank you both for all the amazing videos. ❤
Oh really, that’s cool ☺️ I’m glad our videos are able to help you build your vocabulary. That warms our hearts
Very exciting time! Ryan can always get the fancy Italian style ring or Diamond ring around and then switch for simple gold band or silicone band for day to day wear and use the Italian/Diamond ring for special occasions
Good point, maybe that’s something to consider
It is so good to see the both of you! You are the cutest couple ever! Please do more videos on here.
It’s good to be here! Awe thank you for the compliment ☺️
Working with your hands a lot and being bothered by wearing jewelry/rings. Just a thought matching wedding band tattoos? What we ended up doing after my band got caught and lost my finger. Doesn’t have to be names but something tasteful 😊
My husband's wedding band is white gold with diamonds to match mine...and now he mostly wears a silicone band. So definitely get something you really see yourself wearing! I haven't worn my engagement ring in probably 12 years and just wear my band. We also got married in Vegas because I couldn't handle the planning though haha.
Vegas weddings are awesome! Yeah that’s something to think about. We definitely want to use our wedding rings daily 😊
There’s no rush to it! Better to take your time with it :)
Agreed!
You're right, there is no rush to get married, you two are still young, and so take your time to plan it out, figure out what colors of the tuxedo and bow ties he and his groomsmen would want, and what you want for your wedding dress, and what colors you want your bridesmaids to wear, and always use a wedding planner, because that will take a HUGE chunk of stress off your shoulders. Shop around for wedding rings, and get an idea of what you and Ryan would think would compliment your marriage, your style, your uniqueness in your bond. Pick out an outfit for Java as well. Yes, I agree that weddings shouldn't be rushed. Enjoy your engagement. Some people are engaged for years before they tie the knot, so take your time, plan out your stuff and then when it comes time for the big day, you'll have everything in place. Enjoy your engaged life before you settle into married life. You guys are cute and when and if you have kids, your kids are gonna be cute, because you're gonna make pretty babies. Good luck to you guys in your future wedding plans.
Awesome channel. I worked in the catering business when I was young and I have been to over 250 weddings. Less is more. Make the day simple and you will remember it so much better. Don't plan your wedding based on what you have seen in the past. Do your own thing. Have a simple ceremony and then have a really NICE sit down dinner for you and the guests, and a reasonable number, like 60 guests. You can even stand in the living room and say your vows, and have your guests stand around you. Ceremony at home can be so elegant and pretty. You and the guests will enjoy and remember the day as special. And change up the rules on prepping for the day. If you want to see each other's clothes ahead of time, that is fine. Do what you want. And some men that work with tools will get the rubber wedding band to wear while working, you can get them at any hardware store, then wear the good ring the rest of the time when not working. Emphasis on easy for you two, pretty for the guests to witness, and then sit down and enjoy good food and fellowship. Huge fancy weddings are chaotic and no one remembers much about the event. Less is more. Happy wishes for your life together. You are both awesome.
Thank you for your comment. This is all helpful and well thought out advice, and I especially agree with making the day simple ☺️
Me and my now husband got engaged after 10 years together and we got married 7 years after that. We finally married last Aug. We felt the same, that we were happy with where our relationship was and didn't feel rushed into getting married. 🥰
Ellen & Ryan, it’s funny thing you said about the wedding dress!! My husband ordered the wedding dress for me! Ha lol! A very small wedding. 25 ppl. Ppl “potluck” foods but my husband ordered the wedding cake!
We will be married for 20 yrs this October!! So, Ellen, be happy at whatever you want to make it special! I’m happy to find you guys on UA-cam, I was hoping to find you again on UA-cam and I found you tonight!!! And Ryan, I completely understand what you mean about the social media!! Be yourself and be happy with whatever you both created for each other! The key is to be happy and love! God bless you both. And Yes to Java for the perfect bark! Hahaha I was laughing about Java’s barking!! So funny! Glad you both are back. Proposal story is a beautiful story and thanks for sharing. Congratulations! One thing, do you have the same idea of where to be married in? In church or on a beach or what?
The main thing i regret from when i had a wedding was spending the entire day posing for pictures at the direction of the photographer. I barely even got to enjoy the party. If you don't want to spend your day doing that- make sure you tell the photographer it's ok and that you don't need a photo with every person at the wedding. Always my advice for people who are about to get married.
That’s definitely very helpful and something for us to think about. Thank you for the advice
The ring is so pretty!! ❤❤
Thank you!!❤️
Ryan could get a matching wedding band. Maybe have it engraved with your initials (ex: R❤E) Consider getting married at the court house or some other small location. Then have a big party afterwards or later. It's a lot less stress. It's probably more fun planning a party than planning a wedding.
I do want to get a matching band. Maybe an inset band so it’s similar to Ellen’s 😊
