As someone who is mixed race themselves I totally felt you deep down when you said you lived on the outskirts of your culture sometimes. Sometimes we just need a little reminding that we ARE valid! And that is beautiful! (And omg Michelle your sister is HILARIOUS! I love her and we need to see her more haha)
My daughter is half Indian like you, and I love this channel. When she's a little older I want to introduce her to your content so she can be inspired! Thank you for being a strong, classy, never-say-never woman and role model!
That’s what my mom did at her wedding! She wore a traditional white hanbok for the ceremony and a white western dress for afterwards. Having two cultures I walk between is also something I’ve always struggled with, and this video resonated with me deeply. I wish I can do something like this one day!
She tried on 100 dresses? Oh my god. The first one was absolutely stunning, I can't imagine moving past it!! Can't wait to see the rest of the dresses and see which one she chooses.
My sister got married recently, and when we went dress shopping she actually tried on only 25, but it felt like 100 for her. But this is Michelle, who loves to be challenged, so she may've actually tried a 100.
Michelle the red is just something else! The white was gorgeous but with the red I started crying and I loved that you could feel the lineage of strong women that came before you, it is palpable when you wore it.
Omg yes!! When I saw her in the red, I could feel myself getting teary eyed, she looked incredible. It’s so HER. Its so BAM but also she WEARS the dress, it doesn’t wear her.
I'm so so glad you chose to do the two separate dresses. Can't wait to see the final dresses but I'm positive it wouldn't have been as special without the red!!
At first I was completely on board with you trying to mesh the two styles of dresses together, but I think everything turned out so much better when you decided to incorporate both at different times. I've struggled with the thought of how I would incorporate both of my ethnic backgrounds into my wedding, and I absolutely love the route you took. Thank you so much for sharing such a special moment and continuing to inspire in every way! 🫶🏼
So beautiful to watch, my relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
it's always difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation my wife for 12 years left me, i couldn't just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back.
Michelle's mom looks so much like Natalie Portman to me. What a stunning woman, of course that's what Michelle's mom would look like! Like mother like daughter
Not me crying when Michelle had the red dress on and talked about feeling like the strong women in her family before her. What a beautiful way to honor both sides of your heritage. Thank you for sharing this with us.
im so glad that people really cry when theyre married it just shows how mcuh they love eachother! mind you the indian dress is AMAZINGGG edit:550 likes?! tysm! edit: 661 i cant believe this! edit 3: WHAT THE... 773?!
The emotion I felt when you showed the red Indain dress was so powerful it actually made me cry a little bit. I 've always felt disconnected from my ancestors and culture, this has given me some motivation to start learning about it. You are truly an amazing women and I can only wish the best for you and your future.
Girl when you put that purple dress on, I cried a little. I'm so happy for you!! The dress looked STUNNING, and I know the final product will be everything you wanted it to be!
Beautiful choices, congratulations! I’m an Indian adoptee living in the US, and I also wanted to include elements of my heritage in my wedding. (Which was in October as well.) I wore a white lace dress for the ceremony, and purple silk sari that I bought on my birth city for the reception. It made me feel like a more complete bride! 💜
I got teary eyed just watching your reaction and love how you represent both cultures and how Garrett is so open and caring and loves you for who you are. G you look amazingly beautiful and I only hope to find someone who is like Garrett and willing to represent my culture as well (100% Native American/Navajo) when I get married. I love love and love you guys! Congratulations!!! ❤❤❤
I get married in October, and also just recently picked you my dress after hunting for over a year. I’m also mixed race and seeing someone else struggle with it how I did while shopping was so sweet. I ended up crying at how beautiful you looked, and how you honored both your cultures. Wishing you many years of happiness❤
I’m adopted from India so I really relate to your relationship of your culture. It always feels like you’re on the outside looking in at other people seemingly having a more authentic experience of something that should be equally yours. When you were in the company that shall not be named’s videos as a mixed race person with Indian heritage it was the first time in my life being confronted with someone like me that I was able to really see myself in. It was just a sudden explosion of “oh my gosh she knows what it’s like! She knows what looking in through a window is like in the same way I do!” I’m so happy to have seen you grow through all these years and be able to see a mirror of myself in that as well. ❤
I know I’m a little late, but CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 on your marriage, guys! I wish you two a life full of love and happiness. Thank you so much for the amazing content over the years, Michelle. You’ve really helped a lot of us get through the challenges of the pandemic. Best of luck to the both of you!
Wow, you picked the right dresses! Michelle, you two are so beautiful together. I am not shocked at how beautiful your mother is. You dad has got to be so proud of his ladies
I love how your bringing your Indian and American heritage together. I’m gonna do the same thing but with food as I’ve lived in America my whole life but my family is Lebanese so I’m gonna put both types of foods and my reception.
This is all SO special!! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a remarkable moment in your life! I love the part of this video when you say looking in the mirror, you see the reflection of strong women in your life while wearing the eastern dress. Such a beautiful moment. ♥️
I had 3 dresses & 3 weddings to accommodate for my Chinese family, his American family (we flew to his hometown) & the actual wedding for our friends in where we live now. Seems like a lot but it was so fun to get to continuously celebrate over a couple of months & just have so many pretty things to wear. You’re gonna love having two outfits!!! Get more!! 😂😂
When I get married I’m not letting the weather stop me from wearing the dress of my dreams. I don’t want to look back and regret not wearing a dress because I thought I would be too cold.
It’s amazing that you included western and Indian style wedding dressing is very nice! I love watching your videos, when I’m bored and watch yoru videos I immediately watch your videos for about 6 hours straight
Hey having multiple “costume” changes for a wedding is the best of all things you can choose to enjoy and keep your guests oohing and aahing, PLUS your pictures will be dynamic and hopefully enjoy it even more than just one dress alone. Congrats!
Thank you for showing your families culture. So beautiful. I loved seeing the photos of your parents. You have your moms smile. So pretty!! Your family is so beautiful 😊
I love that you had both of the dresses from both cultures in your wedding!! I saw the pictures on instagram before this video, so I already knew you were going to do that, but I loved seeing the process of your trying them on and picking it out. The red looks stunning on you, and the white dress makes you look so tan. Congrats again on your wedding Michelle!
I loved everything about this. The meeting of cultures, the love, the support, the emotions- it was just lovely. I’m clicking on to the wedding video right now. Love you Michelle, so happy for you!!!
My wife is from Patna, India 🇮🇳. I am American 🇺🇸 . We decided on two wedding events; a small court house wedding in America during C0VlD, then a no expense spared traditional wedding in India. We have no regrets! Indian weddings are far more interesting in my opinion anyway.
I loved watching you experience both sides and come to your own conclusions about what best suited and represented you. When you spoke about feeling like a 'liminal space' with not being 'enough' of either to completely fit in... that really hit home and made me emotional.
There are only two wedding dress brands that I like these days: Hello Bride Co and Markarian. I especially like Hello Bride Co wedding dresses. All of them are simple and elegant. Plus, it has a modern design line. The video is absolutely beautiful, well done. We want more wedding dress videos!
I love this video so much!! Literally all those dresses looked stunning on you!! I bought my wedding dress in august! It was the seventh dress I tried on and knew it was the one! But the thing was, I was a size 22, the dress that caught my eye was a size 12! Another lady put it at the end of the rack near where the mirror was and after every dress I tried on I kept staring at it. So I finally asked the lady who was helping me if I can try on that one. She said it wouldn’t fit and it’s in the sales rack since they won’t be reordering it anymore. And since I’m crazy, I bought the size 12 since I knew it was my dress! Lol! I have lost 20 pounds so far, I feel like I have about 5 more pounds to lose till it’ll fit literally perfectly!! I am literally so close and my wedding is in a few months! 😅
Thank you so much. I'm a typical American and dating a man from India and hope to marry him someday. So this had so much good info on what to do... I love the idea of not having to do the typical white dress and getting to be in glamorous color. I loved seeing all the dresses from both traditions. You looked so good in so many of them.
God! When you tried on the purple dress and showed it to your mom, my eyes are filled with tears. Never happened anything like that before. You look gorgeous. Happy married life Michelle
As a biracial person, @ 10:45 I know the exact feeling of feeling not enough ti truely be considered either fully. Being biracial is beautiful but when I try to explain this struggle to others it’s hard! I knew EXACTLY what u meant
I am so happy you found your dresses! I get the whole I am not black enough and I act too white and sometimes I ask, "but am I human enough for you?". Your husbands sparkles when he looks at you. You love sparkly dresses, and he has matching eyes to go with. Perfect!
Aaaah!!! You look so beautiful in all those dresses!! Especially the ones that you seemed really excited about!! So many things about this video made me tear up! From the wedding dress try ons to me hard-core relating to what Michelle said about being mixed race/biracial. I'm so happy Michelle that you were able to find dresses that made you feel like you!😊❤
A lot of western Chinese weddings do something similar to what you’ve decided! Though not mixed race, my mom/aunts had a bi-cultural experience as the first generation to grow up in the US after their parents had immigrated from China. They wore white wedding dresses for the ceremony, but traditional red Chinese dresses for the reception.
I loved the 3rd Indian dress you tried on at the first store! Definitely ticked a lot of boxes but even tho that was near perfect, I like how you held out till YOUR vision was perfected for your PERFECT day! And lemme say, you are a vision Michelle😍🥰❤️AND can’t wait to watch part two because I need to see what Garrett says and I already know from the teaser at the end that boy adores your 🧦 off! Before u guys were a thing, thing and he was on ur channel… I knew u we’re gonna marry him❤ boss couple🎬🫶🏼
You made me cry so much! I understand how you feel, being white and mexican. I was never mexican enough. You're absolutely beautiful and you're going to be the most beautiful bride!
Michelle is good enough to be in her own TV show. And I know many people have said this, but I just wanted to say it again to remind everyone watching this video.
michelle you are absolutely gorgeous and i so appreciate you sharing this journey with us. i wish you nothing but health and happiness in your life and marriage
I think this video summed up my childhood and experince thus far trying on bridal gowns. It felt very emotional to watch this video and also very cathartic to put into word what i didnt know i felt. Thank you!
I was speechless when you came out in that first red dress, you look so good in that color. I love how you had 2 separate dresses!! Being Chinese, our modern weddings usually feature 3 dresses: one "leaving the house gown" for when the friends and groom come to pick you up, usually traditional; one western ceremony dress; and one reception gown, which could be either. So personally I really love ur idea and you looked gorgeous! It came together so well.
I love seeing these as I'm planning my own wedding, and it can be fun, but difficult. I'm making my own outfit, as it's not traditional in any sense, but combining a lot of things. I'm going with a jumpsuit as I prefer more androgynous looks, but with really wide legs, similar to beach pyjamas of the 1930s. I'll be doing a lace overlay on the bodice using lace my grandmother used to make someone a wedding dress (she passed before I graduated high school, so my dream of her making my dress lives on through the lace she used, and me using her old sewing machine and serger that she'd left to me). I'm still figuring out the pattern so I know how much fabric to order, but so far, I'm really excited and glad I can mix elements that are meaningful to me in a way that I feel comfortable in. I also found out the place I plan to get my fabric from sells Swarovski buttons, so that's what I plan to do for extra sparkle, have crystal buttons on the back, or maybe a few in the front too depending on how I decide to do it.
Michelle, I never knew you were mixed (Indian and Caucasian). I just saw you as a modern, Western culture, Indian woman. It is lovely to want to, and be able to, embrace both cultures in your ceremony! I think you look so beautiful, stunning, and outright gorgeous in all of these wedding dresses!!! I just wish we could have seen you in all of the 100 you tried! Lol 🥰😍💘
As a child of commercial photographers i usually wouldn't recommend two dresses, but in this case with you wanting to incorporate both sides of your culture i think you look stunning and i hope you have a unforgettable and great experience
i did multiple dresses for my wedding day, as well! i wore a laotian dress during our morning family gathering, a western dress for our western ceremony, and then i walked out in a thai wedding dress 😅 it’s a lot but it felt so meaningful to honor traditions of my family and my husband’s family ❤
The indian dresses are truly so beautiful! Everything about them is just so stunning! Love the idea of doing 2 dresses. I just saw another youtube couple that got married. Also indian female and white male. And they did a 2 day wedding. Western one day and indian other day. Regardless which way you decide to do things tho i love the respect being shown to each partners culture 🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻
Aaaaah the tears!!!!! 🥰 You should read Borderlands by Gloria Anzaldua. It's beautiful and I feel like it would be incredibly cathartic to read a perspective from another woman living on the borderlands of her culture for you. 💖 So many blessings to the both of you in your many many years together! 🥰
Both dresses looked absolutely beautiful. I particularly like the red indian lehenga though. Here in sri lanka, we do exactly what you did. Two dresses. We have two ceremonies usually. The wedding and the homecoming. So we wear white dress for the wedding. And Red for the homecoming. Wish you a happy married life♥️
@Lala Vaine isnt that lame? Like no accountability for your sins? So what i could be a killer that torures its vitims but il be saved just cuz i "believe" that someone died for my sins? Bs
but also unlucky, imagine sharing your most precious moments with "followers" . we are happy for her for sure, but i never see myself going live on instagram for example to show my followers the dresses i'm trying, or my life details
The third one was my favorite realistic prophet not to sparkly and if you make necklaces and everything everywhere but also not to land it was just perfect
I teared up a bit! All the gowns are gorgeous but it’s you that made them perfect! 😊 so happy for you and Garrett! All the best and congratulations 🥳🥳🥳🥹🥹🥹
I'm not mixed race, but I am half irish and half french, and I can totally relate with not feeling entirely one or the other. I'm also autistic so that doesn't help lol but even though I'm sure you know it, you're totally valid and you looked amazing in every single dress, indian and western, and I'm so excited to see a video of the wedding day!
I’m so happy you found dresses that suit what you were looking for. I can’t wait to see the wedding video. I’m sure it will be great and congrats to you and Garrett! You’re such a lovely couple ❤
This is such a refreshment! Sometimes i see girls to break away from their traditions and culture!!!! It breaks my heart. I love you! This is so amazing.❤
Hi Michelle! I’m super early so I just wanted to let you know how much I love you! You’re a great inspiration and congrats on the wedding! Love you! ❤🎉
Looking at the pictures of your moms wedding dress, I think they are very similar same embroidery, colours and everything! They might have been sister dresses which is so awesome to think of! Especially this one 11:03

That part really hit for me, i’ve always felt like i was “too white” to embrace my culture
I’m mixed too and I felt the same way when Michelle said that. I just feel proud and seen now.
Just be yourself, that's all anybody can be. No one should feel they are on the outside.
I just wanna feel like I belong to one of them.

She said it wouldn’t fit and it’s in the sales rack since they won’t be reordering it anymore. And since I’m crazy, I bought the size 12 since I knew it was my dress! Lol! I have lost 20 pounds so far, I feel like I have about 5 more pounds to lose till it’ll fit literally perfectly!! I am literally so close and my wedding is in a few months! 😅
Thank you so much. I'm a typical American and dating a man from India and hope to marry him someday. So this had so much good info on what to do... I love the idea of not having to do the typical white dress and getting to be in glamorous color.
I loved seeing all the dresses from both traditions. You looked so good in so many of them.
God! When you tried on the purple dress and showed it to your mom, my eyes are filled with tears. Never happened anything like that before. You look gorgeous. Happy married life Michelle
As a biracial person, @ 10:45 I know the exact feeling of feeling not enough ti truely be considered either fully. Being biracial is beautiful but when I try to explain this struggle to others it’s hard! I knew EXACTLY what u meant
YES!! I want to do the same -- I've always imagined a white/gold mixed gown. Can't wait for the wedding video
I love the way you are honouring both sides of your family! And I teared up when you started crying.
I am so happy you found your dresses! I get the whole I am not black enough and I act too white and sometimes I ask, "but am I human enough for you?". Your husbands sparkles when he looks at you. You love sparkly dresses, and he has matching eyes to go with. Perfect!
Aaaah!!! You look so beautiful in all those dresses!! Especially the ones that you seemed really excited about!!
So many things about this video made me tear up! From the wedding dress try ons to me hard-core relating to what Michelle said about being mixed race/biracial. I'm so happy Michelle that you were able to find dresses that made you feel like you!😊❤
I'm going to my first wedding gown trying day today. This is perfect. Thank u Michelle and Congratulations 👏
A lot of western Chinese weddings do something similar to what you’ve decided! Though not mixed race, my mom/aunts had a bi-cultural experience as the first generation to grow up in the US after their parents had immigrated from China. They wore white wedding dresses for the ceremony, but traditional red Chinese dresses for the reception.
I loved the purple dress, and I love Lovella Bridal and her content
Nayri is amazing!
U looked so so gorgeous in all of them! I'm so happy and excited for you! ❤
I loved the 3rd Indian dress you tried on at the first store! Definitely ticked a lot of boxes but even tho that was near perfect, I like how you held out till YOUR vision was perfected for your PERFECT day! And lemme say, you are a vision Michelle😍🥰❤️AND can’t wait to watch part two because I need to see what Garrett says and I already know from the teaser at the end that boy adores your 🧦 off! Before u guys were a thing, thing and he was on ur channel… I knew u we’re gonna marry him❤ boss couple🎬🫶🏼

Yes yes yes
@@MichelleKhare Don't read my name
You made me cry so much! I understand how you feel, being white and mexican. I was never mexican enough.
You're absolutely beautiful and you're going to be the most beautiful bride!
Michelle is good enough to be in her own TV show. And I know many people have said this, but I just wanted to say it again to remind everyone watching this video.
Instant tears when you said "this is it" in the mirror. I'm so pleased for you! Your dress is the most beautiful dress that can be imagined
michelle you are absolutely gorgeous and i so appreciate you sharing this journey with us. i wish you nothing but health and happiness in your life and marriage
I think this video summed up my childhood and experince thus far trying on bridal gowns. It felt very emotional to watch this video and also very cathartic to put into word what i didnt know i felt. Thank you!
I absolutely adore how your mom is the biggest advocate to wear the Indian lenga like she’s so emotional it made me emotional
I was speechless when you came out in that first red dress, you look so good in that color. I love how you had 2 separate dresses!! Being Chinese, our modern weddings usually feature 3 dresses: one "leaving the house gown" for when the friends and groom come to pick you up, usually traditional; one western ceremony dress; and one reception gown, which could be either. So personally I really love ur idea and you looked gorgeous! It came together so well.
I love seeing these as I'm planning my own wedding, and it can be fun, but difficult. I'm making my own outfit, as it's not traditional in any sense, but combining a lot of things. I'm going with a jumpsuit as I prefer more androgynous looks, but with really wide legs, similar to beach pyjamas of the 1930s. I'll be doing a lace overlay on the bodice using lace my grandmother used to make someone a wedding dress (she passed before I graduated high school, so my dream of her making my dress lives on through the lace she used, and me using her old sewing machine and serger that she'd left to me). I'm still figuring out the pattern so I know how much fabric to order, but so far, I'm really excited and glad I can mix elements that are meaningful to me in a way that I feel comfortable in. I also found out the place I plan to get my fabric from sells Swarovski buttons, so that's what I plan to do for extra sparkle, have crystal buttons on the back, or maybe a few in the front too depending on how I decide to do it.
Gotta love the energy of Daniel at the Indian bridal store. 🥰🔥
hes kind of act like a c cow
Michelle, I never knew you were mixed (Indian and Caucasian). I just saw you as a modern, Western culture, Indian woman. It is lovely to want to, and be able to, embrace both cultures in your ceremony! I think you look so beautiful, stunning, and outright gorgeous in all of these wedding dresses!!! I just wish we could have seen you in all of the 100 you tried! Lol 🥰😍💘
As a child of commercial photographers i usually wouldn't recommend two dresses, but in this case with you wanting to incorporate both sides of your culture i think you look stunning and i hope you have a unforgettable and great experience
i did multiple dresses for my wedding day, as well! i wore a laotian dress during our morning family gathering, a western dress for our western ceremony, and then i walked out in a thai wedding dress 😅 it’s a lot but it felt so meaningful to honor traditions of my family and my husband’s family ❤
I thought Michelles mom was a friend, she looks so good, we need a skincare routine
The indian dresses are truly so beautiful! Everything about them is just so stunning! Love the idea of doing 2 dresses. I just saw another youtube couple that got married. Also indian female and white male. And they did a 2 day wedding. Western one day and indian other day. Regardless which way you decide to do things tho i love the respect being shown to each partners culture 🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻
12:19 “this is crazy” crazy? I was crazy once.
They locked me in a room
Aaaaah the tears!!!!! 🥰 You should read Borderlands by Gloria Anzaldua. It's beautiful and I feel like it would be incredibly cathartic to read a perspective from another woman living on the borderlands of her culture for you. 💖 So many blessings to the both of you in your many many years together! 🥰
Gosh! Everyone in Michelle’s life is beautiful!
2:10 OH MY GOD. DESI SELF IS SCREAMING ITS SO PRETTYYYY
The "poop" jewelry at 14:33 gets my apreciation.
Lol
Both dresses looked absolutely beautiful. I particularly like the red indian lehenga though. Here in sri lanka, we do exactly what you did. Two dresses. We have two ceremonies usually. The wedding and the homecoming. So we wear white dress for the wedding. And Red for the homecoming. Wish you a happy married life♥️
This is amazing! Congratulations! I love this series! DO MORE! ❤🎉
I absolutely love that it looks like you're both doing two outfits! Embracing your partners culture is so important, and you both look amazing!!
@Lala Vaine isnt that lame? Like no accountability for your sins? So what i could be a killer that torures its vitims but il be saved just cuz i "believe" that someone died for my sins? Bs
Dude influencers are so lucky, she even gets a sponsored wedding dress 😭😭😭
but also unlucky, imagine sharing your most precious moments with "followers" . we are happy for her for sure, but i never see myself going live on instagram for example to show my followers the dresses i'm trying, or my life details
@@MsNadezhda9i think it's her job and she enjoys sharing her happiness with us plus imagine the amounts of blessings she is getting too
@@qsaacmewtom387 yes they get a lot in return , which is a nice part of their job
The third one was my favorite realistic prophet not to sparkly and if you make necklaces and everything everywhere but also not to land it was just perfect
I can’t wait to see part 3 😭🔥🤍 I actually cried watching this .
I teared up a bit! All the gowns are gorgeous but it’s you that made them perfect! 😊 so happy for you and Garrett! All the best and congratulations 🥳🥳🥳🥹🥹🥹
I don't know why but when the guy said "I would say most of the brides that we work with are pretty stressed out" I laughed out loud 😂
This looks like quite the experience, but it also makes me glad I opted for the courthouse.
I'm not mixed race, but I am half irish and half french, and I can totally relate with not feeling entirely one or the other. I'm also autistic so that doesn't help lol but even though I'm sure you know it, you're totally valid and you looked amazing in every single dress, indian and western, and I'm so excited to see a video of the wedding day!
I’m so happy you found dresses that suit what you were looking for. I can’t wait to see the wedding video. I’m sure it will be great and congrats to you and Garrett! You’re such a lovely couple ❤
I Remember The Proposal video was Absolutely Adorable! :)
This is such a refreshment! Sometimes i see girls to break away from their traditions and culture!!!! It breaks my heart. I love you! This is so amazing.❤
Hi Michelle! I’m super early so I just wanted to let you know how much I love you! You’re a great inspiration and congrats on the wedding! Love you! ❤🎉
Looking at the pictures of your moms wedding dress, I think they are very similar same embroidery, colours and everything! They might have been sister dresses which is so awesome to think of! Especially this one 11:03
