    While we were planning our wedding last year, we realised having a big wedding ceremony is actually not that important for us and it is sooo expensive. Instead we married in the courthouse and spent the money on a long honeymoon in tuscany and french riviera. Best decision we have ever made! ❤️

    My husband found me an art deco engagement ring from 1921ish, and we bought a new wedding band. I'm obsessed with it and so in love with it because I know nobody with anything similar, and it's 100 years old now. It's about the right ring for the right person. For me, it was heart (and quality) over size and it's the best way!!

    My fiance got me the perfect ring for a steal! It was a $2300 ring that he got for $800 because it was returned. He knows I love a great bargain, which made me love it (and him lol) even more! It's a gorgeous 12 diamond, 1.5 carat total ring, and it's super unique and perfect! I also got my $2000 dress on clearance for $600. There's no need to overspend when planning a wedding! I'm so glad you are making these videos! Sending love from indiana!😘😘😘

We just got a canal home in Jan 2022 - so we achieved our goal and can now have our perfect wedding 💒 small and in our own backyard. Everyone is different ❤️🙌

    Love this style of video you’re doing now! 😍 Please could you look into the breast implant industry/ breast implant illness some time, to help raise awareness of this? There are millions of women who’s lives have been ruined by breast implant illness (bii) including myself. Once I removed them I got my health and life back. Doctors don’t let their patients know that this is a risk of getting breast implants. I think it would be amazing if you could help other women become aware of this issue before they make that decision to get implants! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

    My husband and I got married during the pandemic. We weren't even allowed to bring one witness. It was just the two of us, and it was completely romantic. I have many friends who got married, and sadly, the debt of their wedding day has outlasted the marriage. We just spent the money on the license, the gas to get there, a simple dress for me, my dream shoes, and a romantic dinner where we got engaged. I would not change a thing. Do what is best for both of you on your day where you celebrate your love. No one else gets a vote.
    PS I have been a flower girl, a bridesmaid twice, and a maid of honor five times. The happiest weddings and the ones most fun to be a part of (which were only 2 of the 8) were the ones where the bride and groom didn't try to get the day perfect but just wanted to celebrate their love with their loved ones; the other ones were so not fun to be a part of. In fact, the commercialization of weddings has really made me hate weddings. I don't think I'll ever agree to be in a wedding party again, and I'll only go if I'm very close to the couple.
    Enjoy your day and the days leading up to your wedding, but the marriage, for me at least, has been the fun part. :)

      My fiancé and I are having a small wedding, 10/15 people the most. We're going to the courthouse and having a small party afterwards and use the rest of the money for a down payment for a house, trip, and another car for me and, still have some leftover. We rather have the money then spend it all at once on a day.

    I heavily recommend finding a custom jeweller!! The rings will be so much more unique and meaningful usually. I get so many compliments on mine even though it’s not a tradition white diamond, although, you certainly could get one (or many). Just something to consider! And you’re helping smaller businesses with a more creative eye :)

    As someone planning their wedding, it really is all about the industry trying to get you to spend more. Buy a second dress, a wedding day perfume, gifts for everyone, more gifts for bridesmaids, customized ring boxes, etc. If you aren't careful, you'll feel pressured to do all this extra stuff.

    I worked on the catering and venue side of wedding planning and loved it! Hated the sales side, but love the planning. I worked with people of all different budgets. That’s the first thing I’d suggest to do when planning a wedding. Sit down and come up with a budget so it doesn’t turn out to be unrealistic or too much. Then choose the venue and secure a date. Everything else can be planned after that.

    Growing up I always wanted a lavish wedding… now that I’m engaged I changed my mind. I want a VERY small wedding with only my parents, sisters and their families, his parents and singling and their family. That’s it. It just makes it more romantic IMO. The most expensive part is our photographer. Everything else is super cheap and minimalistic.

    Before my husband got my ring custom made (I didn't see it or know what it looked like before he proposed), he took me to a jewelry store. Had me look at sizes. Truthfully, I really think the sales rep was baffled when I kept saying "smaller, that's way too big." I think I wound up with a 1/2 karat or 3/4 karat tanzanite. I can't do large, gaudy rings. They're not my thing. It was kinda funny. I cared way more about what the band looked like than the stone.

    We met different types of sales people during our process. Some were super pushy which turned us off.
    We really liked this one jeweler but didn't end up buying from him due to an experience we had that was not his fault. He brought in a guy from New York who had a collection of rings as part of an event which we attended.
    Well we had a budget and the jeweler knew it but not the guy from New York. So of coarse I get shown the most expensive ring and fell in love with it only to be crushed by the price.
    The jeweler you could tell was bothered by this and tried his best to turn things around. I felt bad because I wanted to buy from him but I left in tears.
    We eventually found one I liked somewhere else.

    As for the size of the "rock", I don't like big tacky diamonds but I don't like I'm really small either. I'd be OK with it being average sized. I used to have a Claddagh ring where was made out of white gold but it had a heart-shaped Diamond that wasn't too big or too small.

    You look INCREDIBLE in ALL OF THEM!!! wow, the first was stunning, but all of them 10/10 for me. Just don't think you could go wrong with any of them. Your hair, makeup and glow is quite beautiful. Blessings to you both! ✨✨✨
