Since my relationship is only over 2 years old, I cannot provide any advice on relationships in general. However, in the short time I’ve spent on this earth I have found that (in my case) lasting love - the gentle, loving kind - is cultivated through a feeling of safety. People who make me feel safe are the ones who have never failed to show me love when I need it. It is the feeling left over after butterflies and puppy love, the feeling of comfort and care. Of feeling like their love is a haven, where you are accepted in all your forms.

Forest fairy is getting married ಥ‿ಥ
Not gonna lie,I'm going to miss your little cottage
I've found so much comfort in the scenery found in your place,but nonetheless I'm excited to see where your new place would be!
I hope you and Luke receive just as much happiness as you give!
I have a feeling she will find beauty anywhere she goes. 😊
Yes I agree Pauline that we will miss the little cottage. But it's exciting to know her next home will be made as delightful, with her positivity and beautiful hand-made creations.
@@debbieshort461So why is there a change? You’re getting married, Congratulations.
"Things will go on as normal and yet they will be completely changed as well." Marriage in a nutshell. Congratulations ✌️
So beautiful, I noticed he stayed down on one knee for so long, Wow what a sign of honor and respect. A rare gem. So happy for you both.
is anyone else just THRILLED to see what she wears as a wedding dress? you just know it’s going to be so her and so beautiful and timeless. congratulations to both of you :)
Yes Anna! I hope we get to see wedding pictures!
Omg YEEESSSS! I’m sure she will be breathtaking
wonderful!❤❤❤❤
Me, too! And what her bouquet looks like! Swoon! 😍
I can’t wait to see either :)
I live in Louisiana and I’m so happy for y’all. I have been married 54 years to the same man. We love each other so much. I wish the same for u
That's amazing, such a wonderful thing to spend your life with someone you love 💕
Lol how
From someone who has been married over 45 years I wish for you and Luke a long, loving marriage!!!
I am married 6 weeks after meeting my introvert husband! 37 years and counting. He is such a caring and straight forward person. What I love is that we rarely argue because he is so clear in his wants and needs. I am an extrovert and a people pleaser. But he helps stabilize me! Many blessings on your future marraige!
Can't believe we are saying goodbye to this place. Feels like a part of me, like my home too. I hope wherever your path takes you next, you'll find just as much beauty as you have here.
The sense of place in her videos is so strong! I will miss seeing the mountains and meadows! 🌄
Hope you will continue with these beautiful videos as it is a favorite of mine. Lots of love
The fact that he’s an artist who makes jewelry makes me very happy. You guys are a match made in heaven. Hope I can find my perfect match one day.
My heart literally jumped by the title😭💚
Mine too! I shouted out loud with joy to my family full of boys, “The cottage fairy is getting married!!!!”
Mine too!
@@mrs.w3058 Haha!!! My heart jumped too!
💍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🐨
Congratulations I am so very happy for you! When he got down on one knee, the tears of happiness for you both just flowed. To find true love is so wonderful and I am so thankful you shared this incredibly precious moment with us. 🥰🥰
I don’t know why but I’m tearing up hearing that you’re getting married. I’m so so happy for you.. I’ve been a silent viewer and love your content a lot. I’ve found your channel when I was feeling really low and your videos helped me to meditate about life and just be grateful. Thank you. You are an inspiration to many. Congrats to you and your soon to be hubby! Sending you light and love! from Singapore :)
Same here! Fairly silent viewer, For the most part anyway😁
Ditto ☺️
Me too.
Me too - everything you said
mitchieee, I hope you have a wonderful life too and all your dreams come true. From a grandma in the USA.
As a mother of 3 happily married daughters, it is a joy to see you entering this next chapter of life with excitement and such a clear eyed sense of what love is-not the rom com version. Congratulations and many blessings to you both❣️
It's so nice to see a person living calmly, and not letting anxiety dominate their life. I hope one day I can say "next year I'm getting married" without being overwhelmed by bad feelings. As for you two, I wish you happiness 💖
My dad told me that marriage was like swimming. You just have to jump in. And he was right. Don't be afraid.
The jewelry Luke makes is gorgeous. I love the ring that is passed down to you. It is my favorite.
Don't just jump, it's not wise to do so, use your mind to see if that is a good decision, if it will add any happiness or peace, if that person truly care? because if there is fear and anxiety it's for a reason....
@@lookaroundyou8108 I think you and my dad should talk. I'll be the fly on the wall.
@@lookaroundyou8108 Irritational fear, perhaps? Like a phobia? Or maybe perfectionism?
@@lmiller1413 seems like you are making excuses for red flags? my friend ignored all her intuitions and fears and jumped into marriage.. And she is so depressed and suicidal now. The point is to study your feelings. They came from somewhere.. you take time just to trust or make a close friend, take time to know the person you'll marry, the person who you'll share kids with, that's a responsibility not to be taken lightly.. if a woman has anything that can save her its her intuition and gut
36 years ago I married my best friend, we love each as much, if not more than we did all those years ago. I hope you too have the joy of a love that lasts and the joy of a life truly shared from the heart, there is nothing more special . I always said that my husband is my home, where ever he is. Congratulations xx
My heart skipped a beat when I was scrolling and suddenly caught the title of your video. I watched the video and it was beautiful. You are a beautiful person, inside and out, and I could not be happier for you and your fiancé. Thank you for the content that you share. I find your channel to be truly uplifting and inspiring.
I recently got married. Being married has brought me so much joy and peace. I wish the same for you Paola! ❤️
Congratulations to you both. Luke must be the luckiest man in the world to have secured such a delightful soul to be his bride. It's not every man who gets to marry a fairy, or even a cottage fairy. I wish you both all the happiness in the world, with a backdrop as perfect as the one he chose for the proposal, and I look forward to seeing how your story develops over the coming videos. It's such a privilege to be permitted a glimpse into your life through the medium of your videos.
Congratulations I am so happy for you !!
I’m sitting here grinning from ear-to-ear! Just so happy for you! How truly special that your proposal was filmed! Best wishes for many decades of happiness!
To recollect that the burning hot summer filled with smoke and ashes causing you both you and Luke to flee was to culminate in the beautiful autumn alliance between you two. Like the forest regenerating after the burn, you two have reached out to claim a new life together, new roots and leaves. Many varied, fairy colored blessings.
I’ve been married happily for 32 years. It has had its bumps but mostly has been exciting and happy. Wonderful news for you! I am so happy for you!!! Life is good and God has truly blessed you!! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing something so personal. I’m sure we, all who watch, are all celebrating your happiness too!!!
Congratulations! I love that Luke was "sneaky" and captured this moment on camera. It is so sweet. I have some tears (of joy for you and Luke) flowing!
Congratulations! Marriage is an amazing adventure. We just celebrated 27 years. I’m sure you will have a full and wonderful life together. Much love.
OH MY GOD, CONGRATULATIONS PAOLA!! IM SINCERELY HAPPY FOR YOU 😭🤎
Don't give up your beautiful life in your own home.
Delighted for you both. He’s a very lucky man. Change comes with life. Your joy is infectious ,thank you for sharing.
A slow love story is more satisfying and real to me than the artificial stories of created drama. It is right that your life should evolve in ways that feel right and continue to bring you joy. It sounds like you have found a man who can be a true friend and partner. I’m happy for you both.
Paola, blessings to you and Luke for many, many happy years together.
The landscape is breathtaking! Congratulations on your engagement. The ring is a precious treasure of loves past.
Autumn brings change, and this upcoming change is a wonderful thing indeed. So happy for you both. This small cottage has been a cozy and comforting place for us to visit here online and it will definitely be missed. But I look forward to where your journey takes you both. Just think, sometime soon, a whole new place to fill with art and love.
Thank you Charles, I appreciate that very much 🙏
I feel like my favorite niece just told me she was engaged! I teared up with joy, congratulations sweet Paola and also to your kind and gentle Luke! Your fan-friends couldn't be happier for you!
Congratulations! That is an absolutely stunning and special ring!
Congrads want the best for you
Omg Deli !! ❤️😄
Omg it makes me so happy to know you've also found this gem of a youtube channel.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I am happy for you too.
Congratulations 🎊
"People who make me feel safe are the ones who have never failed to show me love when I need it. It is the feeling left over after butterflies and puppy love, the feeling of comfort and care.

So beautiful ✨✨ Thank you for highlighting this Andre 🤩
Felicidades! I couldn’t let this moment of sheer joy pass without celebrating with you-
My heart instantly recognizing what you were sharing... Paola, i too married my best friend 27 years ago: I love respect and admire him more every day, and no one makes me laugh like he does. We are raising our sons to be kind respectful and hilariously funny and thoughtful teens. They are the fruit of our love and experience. So I celebrate with you! From a cottage on the other side of the world to yours, Valentina.
Oh, how sweet Luke got it caught on film and how sweet that you wanted to share this wonderful news with us ... that you and Luke are engaged to get married !! ❤Congratulations, Paola and Luke !! ❤
Congratulations on your engagement! ❤ My husband and I are about to celebrate our 26th anniversary. Something important I learned is that marriage isn't about giving up your old life, but rather it is blending two lives toward a new future, making new plans and having the support of someone you love, and who loves you, when life presents you with challenges. We all wish you much love and happiness.
Congratulations to Luke (think that's the proper etiquette in these things). Happy for you both. Don't worry about changes -- life IS change -- one after another. Enjoy each one and accept each with open arms. Wishing you both a happy life.
Almost can’t imagine you not being in this little cottage anymore 🥺 it’s almost become part of my life haha my second home living vicariously through you haha. I am very happy for you! But it’s just a house. Your home is wherever your heart is - there are many beautiful places in the world. You and your future husband - I hope you two will be very happy together. 💕 you’re so kind and loving. You really deserve this 🎉😘
Yes, it’s definitely exciting but I do know it’ll be hard to leave ❤️ you are right though, I look forward to making a new home somewhere equally special. Thank you for your kind words
The ring is beautiful and has a feeling of whimsy to it that matches how you come across! So cool to think that 60 some years ago a ring was chosen and all this time later it's unique qualities blend with the new wearer 💗
Congratulations on your engagement! I hope you continue to share and inspire as life changes. You have a profound effect on the souls of many. 💞
Amen
I'm only 2 minutes in and am crying like an excited baby. Oh my word!!!!
Marriage is a gift that keeps on giving and is somehow more than the sum of its parts ❤️❤️ wishing you both all of the happiness in the world together!!
the love that can felt between you two just from a camera is magical. Wishing longevity and prosperity to you both. Congratulations!
Gosh, what a perfect setting for a proposal 😭
The world needs more men like Luke 😊
Biggest congrats to you both, all the way from New Zealand x
Protect your personal life. Some things don't have to be shared. If you feel inside its something you want to do, okay, but don't feel pressured to do it. Your channel blew up without the stuff others have done and that's because you were genuine. We are all spirit, so we're all connected. We can feel authenticity even though we've never a person in our life.
Wow!! This made me cry. Remembering that feeling of joy and that feeling of realizing that this joy means leaving what you know and love at the same time, and you looked like that when you were talking. Love love love the flowers in your hair and and the dress too! Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤️❤️❤️
You are so right! It will be an enormous challenge to leave what I know, hoping to slowly but steadily build just as special a place somewhere else ❤️ I’m so happy you liked the flowers! I went a bit crazy pinning so many around my head, haha! Thank you for the kind words
Congratulations! You so deserve to not only read but to live the last chapter of the Book On Love And Life where it reads
" and they lived happily ever after"...🦋
SO happy for you! As I get older, the more I realize true love isn't flashy or dramatic but quiet and steady like what you describe
With these wonderful flowers and dress you already look like the most beautiful bride! Congratulations to the both of you
That framing with u looks straight out of a fairytale book . That dress, those flowers 💐🌷🌻🌹🌸🌼😍
the way he kept his hand on your hip in such a gentle way when he knelt down brought me to tears. Cogratulations!
OMG NOW THAT IS A FAIRYTALE 💜🥺
You look so lovely with your white dress and flowers in your pretty hair! That was so precious showing him asking you to marry him. Very special!
Im just crying of happiness THIS IS SO CUTEEEE 🥺💜
Awww! ❤️ It was so exciting, thank you
Crikey!!! You really are living vicariously aren’t you.
Congratulations Paola. It feels like a close friend of mine is getting married considering how much I got excited seeing the caption of this video & the proposal scene 😄😄 Ur statement about the joy of a peaceful relationship after turbulent ones resonates with me so much as I am also in a very loving relationship from quite some time after a string of turbulent & abusive ones.
Sorry for the abusive relationship you've had. So thankful you got away from it!
Congratulations to you!
CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting! My husband & I have been together for 15 years. The best advice I can give is never go to bed mad & never stop dating (even after you have children if you choose to have any). Even date nights at home are necessary if you can't go out for whatever reason. Many blessings for you & your fiancé.
You look breathtaking in those flowers and glowing with happiness. I wish you all the best.
I was so jealous when I read the title…and then i ended up crying (I’m a grown man!) during the proposal. The lead up was fitting and the timing excellent. Despite your thoughts on not being the fairytale romance of fantasy, this to me is the real, more substantive and pure romance. Quite fitting, I think. Congratulations! You really to deserve it. And what a prince!
It's okay for grown men to cry and have emotions. :)
Crying is okay! We are all human and we all cry at times. Made me emotional too ;--;
That is such a wonderful comment!
I bawled like a baby myself … such a touching moment, how could you not feel that
🥰
The smile in your eyes is amazing. I'm so happy for you. The love of life that you share with us only shows that your happiness is so deserved. Blessings to you dear child.🤗💓🌈
There is something magical in sharing
It is that your story becomes ours
We are the guests of the rhythm of your little heartbeats
So we feel happy
When you are happy ✨😃✨
Today is such a day ✨💕✨
Thank you 🕊🌈🕊
I could not have said it,any better💙💚💛💜 Thank u
Thank you 🌈🕊
Sharing joy is always reason enough.
Excited for you to experience a new chapter of happiness with Luke! My husband and I have been married for 4 years now (I'm 24) although it hasn't felt that long! The first couple years are the most difficult but if you can get through that- then there is so much promise and hope that it'll be a love that survives yet thrives 💕
I’m not a crier, but the scene with him on his knee had me teary. Congratulations.
sameee
same. I'm so happy for her. She deserves the best and her description of love shows she's found that.
It made me cry too!
You're glowing! I'm so happy for you. It really looks like a picture out of a fairytale book. The scene where the proposal takes place amid all the red and gold!
I'm so very very very happy for you!!!!! Thank you for sharing your life and your appreciation of beauty.
after my 17 year old cat passed away yesterday afternoon, this wonderful news definitely makes this day brighter. makes me fantasize about marrying my boyfriend one day. congratulations Paola i am so so happy for you two!
Rianne, I'm so sorry that you lost your kitty. It hurts terrible when we lose our pets 😢 ❤

Congratulations - wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love! It’s such an exciting and beautiful time in life. 💕💕💕
Congratulations, dear Fairy! I only hope it's not the end of the story... "And they lived happily ever after."
I hope you can continue sharing those special fairy moments full of simple beauty with us.

@@TheCottageFairy thank you for your response! I’m sorry I’m a very exclamative commenter hahaha
Congratulations 🥳 I wish you and Luke a long happy married life together, sharing how the two of you will forever grow 🌻🌻🍁🍁🐿🐿🎃🎃❤️😇
Congratulations. Your videos are helping me distance myself from the toxicity of the world and focus more on my home, my inner peace and my love of Nature.
Congratulations!!! My hubs and I have been together 16 years. Married for 14 of those in January. When you find your right person the decision to share your lives together is the easiest and most organic journey. I wish you every happiness.
Does anyone else smile throughout the entire video? Every single video I watch on this channel brings a smile to my face and when it is over I am still smiling. Congrats Paola!
Yes, but this time I was grinning from ear to ear. So happy for Paola!!!
No, not really.
So thrilled that you have found your special "someone" and so excited for all the changes that will take place in the weeks and months ahead! Luke is a lucky man, for sure! Blessings!
I loved this so much ❤️❤️ when I met my husband it was right after a very tumultuous turbulent heartbreaking and sad time of my life. You had talked about people that take it vantage of one’s weakness with kindness. I was in such a relationship like that. After it ended I was mistrustful of people and I was very jaded as well. When I met my husband it was actually on Christmas day at my mothers next-door neighbors house. A chance meeting that would’ve never happened if I didn’t go celebrate Christmas at my mothers house. Long story short we met Christmas Day and by May I was engaged. It’s been 26 years now. And I haven’t changed my mind since. Wishing you all the luck and best wishes 🥰🥰🥰🥰
When I read the notification early in the morning, I was getting ready for online classes. The notification made my heart dance with sheer joy 💗 Dear Paola, heartiest congratulations to you and Luke 💓 loads and loads of good wishes and love for the next chapter in your lives! We're gonna miss this little house. Change is always hard, but sometimes it's necessary and welcome. Thank you everything Paola, and again, congratulations to both of you 💓💓🥰
I love how you're channel is something out of a fairy tail I cannot begin to thank you truly for just how much of an impact you have made on me I found great inspiration in your channel when I first came across it and I only look forward to getting to experience more of this magical journey with you thank you for making the impossible come into being the possible and congratulations sending alot of luck an positive vibes you're way 💚
Soooooooo very happy for you both!!!! But I will miss your little house…🌻but seeing you soooo filled with joy makes it all the more special!!! ❤️❤️
I will miss it too, hoping to find another special place ❤️ thank you so much
Wonderful news! Be present with one another always. Being present is a beautiful gift from one heart to another.
Such a simple yet so romantic proposal. It’s so refreshing. Best wishes to you both! Much love from Meggie all the way from Negros Oriental, Philippines.
Hi watching also from Occidental
Paola!! My heart skipped a beat in excitement when i read the title, congratulations!!! 💕
What a wonderful season in life. I'm so happy for the both of you.
I love how you say simplicity and not minimalism ! That really resonated with me. Makes me think on a different level. I always have been afraid to be a minimalist, but to make my life simpler is something I feel I CAN do. Thank you! I look forward to watching more videos. So excited for you!
What do you mean you didn't have a good reason to share this? THIS IS AN AMAZING THING TO SHARE! Congratulations on your beautiful engagement!!
aw, thank you ❤️
Congratulations. You're so lucky to have captured that beautiful moment on film. Your ring is gorgeous! What a lucky couple 😍💕
Congratulations Paola!!! I am so happy for you and Luke. Ever since stumbling upon your channel last year back when you had under 50,000 subs, I knew you were something special💖💖 best of luck for your future
You are just precious. Congratulations to you and Luke.
