MY BIGGEST REGRET: MISSING THE CONGA LINE THAT MY SEWING MOMS STARTED LOL. Thank you all so much for the love and for following along my journey! We truly had so much fun and were ready to party after the stress of wedding planning. Hope you enjoyed watching!
For anyone planning a wedding or event, let me suggest investing in the photos. Everything else that you do for the event is basically gone after- the dress won't be worn again, the food is eaten, the flowers die, but the photos will last. If you're going to splurge on anything, splurge on the photographer. Meet them ahead of time, look at their previous work, talk to them about the type of photos you're interested in and let those photos really capture your event. 💜
I second this! I had my cousin do it for me at my wedding and he gave us a dvd of everything EXCEPT the pictures he made into like a slide show, so when I went to try and print them I couldn’t. This cousin of mine always said he would give me the original footage and never did so I have NO pictures of my wedding 😭😭 unless I want to pull out our DVD player and get the tv that is compatible with it or watch it on my computer. I would love to print some out and hang in my living room. But nope. Never hire a relative.
@@atl1563 Yeah, hiring a relative can cause a lot of problems, especially if you don't have a contract of just what is expected from each side. Did he give you the option of printing photos, or was he done with what he gave you? Have you asked for the files? I know it can be awkward and I'm definitely not trying to tell you what to do. I'm sorry your wedding has this frustration tied up with it in your mind.
@@LaynieFingers he was supposed to give me a dvd with the video and slideshow in addition to that he was supposed to give me the file to the pictures so I could print them out the size that I wanted. Since I had no idea about anything and was just so overwhelmed. And he is gone and I have lost all contact ☹️☹️
This is EXACTLY what my Mom felt at my wedding. We spent a lot of photography and videography. It was worth it. To save money we requested the unedited photos, that I edited myself. So we got thousands of beautiful pictures, but we save a bit of cash by not having the final fancy edit. That being said, I'm not sure all photographers will allow this, since their reputation is on the line if a couple badly edits their photos and posts them online.
Congratulations! I have to say, one pet peeve I have with bridal ensembles is that when most of the top of a wedding dress is embellished and the skirt is more plain, the bride carries a bouquet that covers it all up! I really like how your bouquet is designed to show off the top of the dress rather than hide it. Well done. You look beautiful.
What a fun video - thanks so much. I loved the color of the bridesmaid dresses. And, the thing I noticed the most was that everyone dressed up for your reception and dinner. So many times now I see people wear jeans and casual wear to a wedding. To me that look is way too casual for such a special event.
Oh I know! I really loved how they said "you don't belong TO each other, you belong WITH each other" I've always hated that sentiment anyway, so to hear that from the officiant, I appreciate it!
CONGRATULATIONS! I've been a subscriber for so long and had the chance to watch you grow that I kinda feel like I'm getting married lol. I wish you and your new husband the very best!
Thank you for sharing your special day. Congratulations and wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness. I have been watching your videos for years and love to see how you have grown in your skills. Both of your dresses were so beautiful. You are so talented.
April, you made such a beautiful bride! Don't worry that your hair fell down. That is the sign of a really fun party. Everything looked perfect, especially the dress. Congratulations to you both. 💕
I feel like we've all watched a sibling or cousin of ours grow up and reach a major life milestone. This is the absolute sweetest thing. Congratulations 💐
Congrats! You are the first youtuber I started watching religiously, and it has been really cool to see you grow and make so many amazing pieces and post videos about your experiences!
This is the first time I've ever seen a wedding dress reveal so much skin AND look absolutely chic, gorgeous, and stunning!!! April, you look absolutely amazing!!! Your dress complements your beauty wonderfully and perfectly!!! Been following your videos for many years now and I'm positively thrilled for you and Erik!!!
I've been watching April since she did her many different ways to wear a shirt. Then kept watching. It's been a great journey! Wish you a life of health, happiness, peace and success.
I’m a fashion student and I’ve been watching you since my first year of college, I’m on my 4th year now! Seeing you get married and achieve a lot of milestones in life made me realize how far you’ve come! Wishing you both a married life filled with love and understanding! I’ve learned a lot from you April! Thank you!
Thank you April for sharing.....I cried when I saw your teachers. You could tell they were very proud of you, their sewing daughter! Have a blessed life together with Erik.
Very nice editing. I can imagine how really happy moments the two of you and all your guests had with only a glimpse of the reception , looks so much fun snd full of smiles. Congratulations April & Erik. Beautiful dress!
Aww, what beautiful words of wisdom and encouragement from the person who married y’all. Handsome groom, beautiful bride, amazing family and friends enjoying a celebration of your marriage. Last year may have caused postponement of gathering together as you took your vows, but this year y’all made up for it with an all out party blast! It was awesome watching it! The dress you made was so pretty, but you in it you looked absolutely gorgeous! Thank y’all for sharing your special day with us all! May you be blessed with many, many, many years of love, happiness, good health and all that you hope for comes your way. Congratulations!🍾🥂❤️
Congratulations April! Been watching for a few years now. Its been so nice to see how much you have grown and accomplished! Wishing you both the best! 💐💖
Congratulations on your wedding reception!! Your dress looks so good! I couldn't stop staring at the top and it's hard to believe you made it yourself because it looked like a wedding dress you would find in a bridal store that costs thousands of dollars!! I loved your venue. I also liked how you added a Q&A at the end to give us a little more insight. I'm so happy for you two!
Congrats!!! I love the q&a at the end and the realness of this all! Me and my husband eloped too but still want a reception at some point lol 😂 your elopement and wedding reception was so beautiful!!!
Mhmm I know so many people that did the same thing. It was such a bummer having to change our original plans last year so eloping was a nice way to still do something for us. And now its complete bc we brought our families together :)
@@coolirpa waaahh.. I've been watching all your videos. I love all of them. I started thrift flipping clothes this pandemic. It's my first time to comment in a UA-cam video. I'm happy to received a reply from you. Thank you!
Congratulations!! This made me tear up not only because of how happy and in love you look but also how much hope the video shows. After 2 years of little to no contact you’re finally able to celebrate with your families. We still have a long way to go but this gives me hope that someday will be back to some form of normal.
Everything was so beautiful! Your officiant was frickin amazing. Like chef’s kiss perfection. The words and the delivery made me really feel emotional!
congrats April and Erik! April your wedding dress is so beautiful, it looks even better on you! May God bless your marriage with many years of happiness and love.
Oh congratulations!!! I bet you made your dress! You guys are so cute together and you are beautiful!!! Thank you so much for all your sewing tutorials all that you post about. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, health and wealth and joy!!!
Wishing you both many years of love, joy and laughter. Your faces sparkle with the love you have for each other and it is a true delight watching you work together, plan your elopement and reception and just being together. It reminds us older married couples why we took our vows in the first place and nudges us to go hug our spouses. May your lives continue to be blessed with the beauty of your union.
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! May your marriage be filled with joy, hope, and a deeper love. Thank you for bringing a smile to this subs face from the east coast! 😊😊😊
congratulations to you both. my favorite part of this video was when the DJ said "This is how we do it" and the music came on right after. I loved that. so clever
With in the last two weeks I celebrated my 29th wedding anniversary. I pray for the love you have with Eric now to last as long if not longer than my husband and I have enjoyed. Thank you for sharing your wedding day and reception with us.
