    Honey the wedding is about you and Josh not for everyone else. Honey save your coin. Do what makes you happy and comfortable.

    Hey guys, I have a suggestion for bringing us along the journey without giving stuff away. Maybe you guys can document the journey and release it after the wedding. Maybe it could be like a series?
    Kinda like how josh documented the engagement process (like how he asked your friends, your mom, your dad, planned everything) and then released it after the announcement was made.
    Idk just a thought👀

    Tbh, I have always thought that it wouldn't make sense for Isi to do a traditional Nigerian wedding, she has no real knowledge of the culture and background, respectfully. I'm so glad she has thought about it and is standing her ground.

      Love this idea, and maybe y’all could schedule updates for when you’re on the honeymoon or roll out the videos in a “series” or marathon form … for example: - wedding planning (one long video or 2-3short ones)
      - Bachelorette & bachelor parties (maybe a short montage here and separate videos on your personal channels)
      - Wedding behind the scenes (maybe your thoughts and feelings on the day while preparing and input from the wedding party and guests …a confessional or well wishes kinda thing)
      - The actual wedding video
      - Quality conversation about the wedding
      You don’t have to share everything because some moments you might want to keep to yourself, love you guys and I’ll watch and enjoy whatever y’all decide to do because it will be QUALITY ♥️

    The whole “black love” thing and being a social media couple should definitely not be correlated with money. There’s so much more that goes into a marriage outside the one day. Please don’t feel the pressure of this societal flossing bullshit lol. Do what works for y’all and what y’all WANT, not what y’all want the world to perceive. I say it with love because I love you guys ❤️

  • @karathomas03
    @karathomas03 2 роки тому +45

    Just a couple of things …
    1. I feel like this wedding is more about it being on social media more than anything. Just from the way y’all were talking about it. Yes, you are influencers but this is also your big day and to have the pressure for it to be on social media *to me* takes away from it.
    2. Josh’s wedding pressures were valid and isi maybe you were just joking but it looked like you were invalidating them a bit. And yes, his vows are important but the fact that he has to over insure you.. again, *to me* just makes it seem like you won’t be happy with it.
    3. At the end of the day, do what you want. Don’t feel pressured so much to get everything on SM because I feel like that’ll take away the joy.
    Not hating, just some things I noticed. Love y’all ❤️

    So record it and then do a POST wedding type of series/ting ya know? That way we get all the action and the surprise!
    Play newly wed games in the mean time, go on dates, show us y'all just being fiancé's, trying black owned Chicago bakeries, black owned wedding planner/events. That would be really cute and a good idea to take a lot of the pressure off.

    • @raypatton4670

    Isi I completely understand the pressures that you’re referring to, but there’s no need to stress sis! Since when is Black Love about the flashy flashy bling bling? Trust in your own sauce. I know that you and Josh’s wedding will be a Happy, Hydrated, and Qualityyyyyy EXPERIENCE 🤌🏾
    DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU WANT TO DO SIS! AS LONG AS YOU ARE BEING AUTHENTICALLY ISIMEME EDEKO…
    That’s all that matters❤️
    Between your sauce, Josh’s creativity and Ma Edeko’s affirmations in ya ear, y’all got this!!!✊🏾❤️♾

    @chelle2264 2 роки тому +10

    Isi might have to accept that it will be impossible to please everybody. Your wedding should be what you envision and expect from yourself. Of course everybody supported you up until this point , but a wedding is one thing that should be about what you want. People will love it b/c they love you.

  • @dickoxbah

    Film the wedding process the same way the engagement was documented. But please don’t take more than 2/3 months to post 😅 but no pressure 🤣 the wedding is going to be beautiful. We don’t need to see anything until after.
    Josh’s pressures are real things that I worry about too lol. The reception entrance #1. I want my wedding to be a black extravaganza. I need a goooood song/playlist.

  • @chisomokafor7262
    @chisomokafor7262 2 роки тому +7

    I think the Nigerian traditional wedding thing is more of a "hope" to see rather than "expect" to see. We Nigerians love our culture and we love when other people are brought in to experience it with us. But please don't feel pressure to ball out to satisfy a Nigerian community that is not going to be in the marriage once the wedding is over.

  • @iamurdestinyyy
    @iamurdestinyyy 2 роки тому +15

    I’ve been married for almost 2 years now, i completely understand what you guys mean when you say there is a pressure to think of what others will say. I’m just a regular degular person and I felt it so I know it’s heightened for y’all as influencers. But like isi said, at the end of the day it’s all about what you want. My motto was “if they aren’t paying, do they really have a say? NO!” Best of luck and blessings to you guys on this journey, it can be stressful but it can also be a beautiful process for the two of you!

  • @desirebrown5759
    @desirebrown5759 2 роки тому +4

    Pausing on 19:31 because I completely resonate with this. I'm in the midst of planning my wedding and I thought that I wanted to have these lavish things for the wedding because I see others that do that but what it boils down to is the love and the marriage behind the wedding. I wanted to get a custom $10000 dress but I'm like that's not a pillar that's going to keep my relationship alive. It's the love, communication, emotional intelligence, peace with the binding of God that's keeping everything together. My fiancé and I would rather spend $20k on a lavish honeymoon and travel the world than to spend half of that on a custom dress and wedding.
    Social media is your job but you have to be true to yourself and the things that you want. You'll probably be surprised to see how many women end up doing the same and or having similar feelings once you have set a standard. It's your life and your own experience.

  • @TheKaRenaLee
    @TheKaRenaLee 2 роки тому +38

    You can definitely learn it though , the culture. Not maybe how you would’ve liked but yeah . Books , videos , more importantly I think that would be a dope trip y’all !!!!!!! Go experience the culture together in real life even if like rather than vlogging y’all just did a quality conversation after . Congrats on 900k so happy for you !!!!! The pictures were amazing !! I completely understand your perspective on that comment made Isi because that’s what I thought that was the point of quality conversations too transparency and letting things out . I just hope that wasn’t their intention

    • @mariie2652
      @mariie2652 2 роки тому +3

    • @TheShahlife_CreateShareInspire
      @TheShahlife_CreateShareInspire 2 роки тому +3

      I think the point is more so that she doesnt have that culture instilled in her. So sure, she could research it, but that’s still not the same as growing up with that influence naturally. Nobody researches American culture, we just learn it through our experiences. I think Isi would probably feel sort of like an imposter if she studied her culture just for “show” you know? Doing it just because she’s Nigerian and wants it for her wedding isn’t really the most genuine reason and I feel like that’s what’s she’s trying to get at

    As someone who is married . this wedding is about YOU and JOSH whatever you want to do is 100% ok there is no right or wrong. I do think maybe have a traditional american ceremony and have a Nigerian mix reception! Maybe serve some jollof rice and other Nigerian food. Also maybe have a Nigerian dress for your reception!!
    ALSO depending on the florist you can take the flowers home 😊

  • @karathomas03
    @karathomas03 2 роки тому +13

    I know it’s easier said than done but don’t feel pressured to do your wedding a certain type of way. It’s not about the other people, if they don’t like what you’re doing and they have their opinions about it, that’s fine but they’re not the ones getting married. Much love to you ❤️

    Just a thought. You guys could always post the process of the wedding planning as like a part two of the actual wedding documentary. It could be like a behind the scenes special.

    You both could make detailed videos and post only after the wedding and decide to post bits and pieces before or have quality conversations like this. That way we have an idea of the wedding and still get the representation at the end of the day.

  • @quashaylacobb4734
    @quashaylacobb4734 2 роки тому +11

    (Unpopular opinion) but Isi I think you SHOULD wear your natural hair for your wedding bc your hair is b e a u t i f u l! No way a wig (if that’s what you’re thinking) would look better than your hair ❤️

    Congratulations Isi, so proud of you girl. And I also want to say that I don't think you need to do a separate Nigerian traditional wedding, I just think you should put on a Nigerian traditional cleaning in your wedding reception party to pay homeage to your Nigeria 🇳🇬 culture in honor of your dad. I'm a Nigerian living here in United States by the way.
    Love you both 💓 😘

  • @nyx1408

  • @rubydemaio6553
    @rubydemaio6553 2 роки тому

    I appreciate your honesty that you brought up that you didn’t want to have the traditional Nigerian wedding. Maybe I feel this way watching you as a Black American woman or as a mixed woman (Black & Italian) who’s father also passed when she was young, but like from what I’ve understood watching you, you acknowledge that you’re part Nigerian but you weren’t raised in that culture, especially after your dad passed. I never really understood the expectation that was placed on you to do things that were part of a culture you don’t know as well especially for your wedding. Acknowledging your dad, however you chose to do it, is enough. Good luck with your wedding planning!!

    I was going to get a customized dress when I got married, but I ended up falling in love with a dress from davids bridal.😂 By the time we took photos, danced and the night ended, I had a hole in the bottom of that $2,000 dress, and its somewhere stuffed in closet now😭 and honestly no one asked how much my dress cost.🤷🏽‍♀️ Getting married is a whole industry, these vendors will bleed you dry if you let them😭

    So a suggestion for taking us along the journey of the wedding planning is kinda how you did for y'all's high rise apartment. Like you guys showed us all your different options but didn't tell us the final results. So for example if y'all go cake tasting or something, y'all can take us along when trying out the I dunno 3-4 different options but don't tell us which one you decided on.
    Congratulations Isi on 900k!!

  • @itsTeeForMe.
    @itsTeeForMe. 2 роки тому +1

    Hey Josh & Isi, I love and appreciate y’all hugely!! Two things… one idea that came to mind for the wedding documentation piece is to still record when you have meetings and make errands and what not, but you can release the footage/content after the wedding! That way you’ll have tons of footage on deck to release, and you’re still giving that visual of the planning process. Secondly, anyone who told you how to wear your hair… I mean they can do what they wish on their day, but I can’t wait to see what YOU decide for YOU🤩 Lastly, again, I found you both back when I was a freshman in college and I just can’t even explain how deeply appreciated, needed and valued both of your minds are! Thank you so much for being yourselves, always. Much love💜💜💜 #virgogang♍️

    First of all, CONGRATS!!!! Second of all, I think it is VERY important to share the hardships & downs of entrepreneurship. I literally just had this conversation the other day about how no one keeps it real about the struggle of being an entrepreneur. They just show the ups, the success, the perks. That can get very discouraging for people like me who still haven’t seen success in my business. From the outside looking in everything on social media looks like “overnight” success & support. PLEASE DO NOT STOP SHARING THE REAL BEHIND BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR! CONTINUE THE TRANSPARENCY! ❤️❤️❤️

    @onyinyeozoemena385 2 роки тому

    Coming from a Nigerian like myself, I'm even surprised you mentioned the traditional AND the white wedding. I honestly thought maybe you'd put some of the culture in the reception, over here that reception is like the most beautiful part cuz of the decorations and stuff, I don't don't know if it's like that in Western culture. A lot of people who don't want to spend too much money do the white wedding and change into traditional attire during the reception. Some people do the traditional then wait a year or 2 before the white 🤣 Girl, just do you. Like you said, your cousin from your dad's side is on your team, I'm sure she can help you do something creative on your day. I sure would love to see a video of y'all on BellaNaija sha 😩😩😩😻😻
    Love y'all 💋💋💋💖💖💖

  • @dreamer6015
    @dreamer6015 2 роки тому +2

    You are already talking about having 2 dresses for the wedding….. why not make the second dress a traditional Nigerian dress to incorporate in some way and that way you don’t need a second wedding. Not that anyone NEEDS a second wedding but it’s def not necessary if you fuse your culture (American) and your fathers (Nigerian) into one, which would be a perfect representation of you. I’ve also been going back and forth on my wedding planning, I think we are close to agreeing to not even having much of anything and using that money to spend on experiences like you mentioned (honeymoon, bachelorette, buying a home). As little girls I feel most of us dream of our weddings and our wedding dresses but we are not little girls anymore, being an adult now I definitely see that there’s more to it than getting a dress and saying I do. The cost of wedding is crazy and I’d rather spend on building my future with my future husband and experiencing the world before we have children. Later down the line We will renew our vows and have a grand wedding the way I want. Because if I’m going to plan a wedding and have it I want it to be everything I want and dreamed of but that may mean waiting down the line in life when we are more established to do so. But I definitely won’t be waiting to be married to my man, idc if I have to go to the court house to do so in the meantime 🤷🏾‍♀️Just a thought though.

  • @te-amo97

    Sis, you don't owe anybody anything. Sit and think about it, and pay homage to your dad in the way you think best. Nigeria may be apart of your bloodline but it's something you can relate to. I know you would like to please your followers but what good does that do if at the end of the day you loon back and regret or don't enjoy your special day.... btws congrats on 900k

  • @shamekarobinson4228
    @shamekarobinson4228 2 роки тому +1

    An idea that may work for "taking us on the journey" of the wedding planning process: Similar to how the proposal video went, document it as you guys go along with the planning but don't release it until the wedding has happened. That way we see the steps you guys took and how it all came together on the big day. (This may be a lot of editing, but I think it can help with y'alls privacy until the big day. ❤)

  • @effeowusu
    @effeowusu 2 роки тому

    Personally, I do feel like writing meaningful vows, especially for someone who is big on words of affirmation, is a very valid wedding "pressure"/stressor. It's just not something physically tangible compared to picking the wedding venue or the bride's wedding gown.

  • @naestalgic553
    @naestalgic553 2 роки тому

  • @elexis5876

    That's real, my fiancé and I are currently planning for our wedding and the big conflict is not wanting to spend crazy dollars for one day.

    • @alisiawilliams7390
      @alisiawilliams7390 2 роки тому

    • @KrissypooHairView
      @KrissypooHairView 2 роки тому +1

      Right, my fiancé and I are the types that don’t depend material gifts for happiness. Our gift to them will be the ceremony and reception as well as letting them in on our priceless love. Of course it’s a given that we will be accommodating in our way to our guest but in turn by us planning our wedding for (us) will in turn create that authenticity and reflection of (our) celebration of making it official. “Plus” our guess will in turn have a reason to have a vacation.

    The pressures associated with wedding (and the costs) is the reason I personally don't want one. I do want to be married but weddings feel like they are more for the guests than the bride and groom.

    I feel Josh. I was the same way when I first started my UA-cam channel. I’m an introvert plus I’m a Virgo so I’m very particular. It takes me hoursss to edit my videos. But for me now I feel like it’s easier to shoot vids because I’m not nervous at all anymore it comes easier to me now. But I’m FOR SURE an introvert in real life , like I don’t even have friends or go outside 😭

    Please do what you feel in your heart do not do what others want you to do for your wedding. You won’t be happy. It’s your day please keep that in front of you. Love the video you two are awesome 😎 my advice make a list and stick to it. That’s what I did when I got married and it helped a lot.

    My other comment got deleted for some reason. But I was agreeing with another comment on the idea of you could film bts of your wedding planning and then not release the film/videos until after your wedding has commenced. Aliya Janell did that & it turned out cool. That could cater to both what y’all want of not spoiling your wedding stuff but also that y’all want to show representation of Black Love when it comes to the wedding process. 🥰

    Hi Josh and Isi...yaaalllll lol my name is Naledi from South Africa. such conversations are needed. You guys are so genuine. I've learnt so much from you guys about healthy communication, honesty and patience. And same way I'm learning, you guys learnt too. your boundaries, your spiritual world is deep and solid and that too you have learnt to keep it strong and have created a space for yourself that's amazing and you can spot it a miles away. Self-awareness, self-care, self love is super important and setting up boundaries is important cause this world....child you will be tested everyday. I appreciated how you look at each other, how you have fun with each other. I look forward to learning and the adventure loving and living and creating. Individually and together.
    I respect you guys for not being fake or forcing things. We understand and respect your boundaries. Yes we love knowing you guys and seeing how you live but you do have a right to privacy as well. Like we all can see that you guys cant be broken and I hope so too cause life does have its challenges but what you have built, its priceless.
    You chose to be in an industry that is really tough. Social media is something else, cause the same people that cheer you up and "build" up, they can turn your mood upside down if you pay too much attention like that. People will always have something to say regardless. Do what makes you happy. I dont usually follow UA-cam couples but you guys are just different and you know it.
    YAll knew each other when you were broke and you made it work. Came up together always, cause if one wins yall both win. You cried, fought, laughed, did it all. Isi your energy and Josh your energy is right. Energy is a lot people. You guys make time to just detach from everything and just be you and talk honestly and understand each other. These past few months have been a lot

    You know what, you two are still by far one of the best couple on youtube. I love the way you guys try to incorporate God in your videos, and even though I haven't been able to be up to date with your videos I do pray that God will continue to bless you both individually and as a couple. Congrats Isi.

    Maybe y’all should vlog the experience + behind the scenes but just don’t post it until after the wedding. So you can still put out the representation and the info that no talks about while not giving away wedding surprises prematurely.

    If you don’t want to spoil any ideas about the wedding document as y’all go and release it or upload it after the wedding. That way we still can enjoy the process but just at a later time… if that make sense.

    I love you both! You both hit on subjects that I use to think when I was engaged. You both are a real representation of young black millennials that reminds me of old school love. You don’t see that on social media. A lot of young black millennials are putting out being all independent and making money. Verses about making money together for generational wealth.

I learn so much from these convos and I appreciate the efforts made to talk about your struggles through your journey. Plus it feels like you guys are real people. So if there are some who may feel offended by your approach to these convos just know that there are others who appreciate them, like me!
