Literally cannot wait to see your wedding theme! Can just picture gum leaves, heaps of greenery and wooden theme with lots of candles! I cant wait for the vlogs where you take us along with planning etc! xxx yayyy!
I feel that if a proposal is a complete surprise, it’s a bit of a worry. When you think about it, it kind of means that one person is on a very different page with regard to the relationship.
I'm 27 and I just got married, people kept thinking I was too young to get married... age is relative and you will always be 'young' to those on a different frequency. Its not the age, it's that's it doesn't match with their ideal standards.
I got engaged at 21 in March, pregnant in July and married in October. Now weeks from my 27th birthday and happily married with two kids! You’ll love marriage and I can’t wait to see your journey happen 💕
I don't even think it matters if you are "too young" because literally, you act more responsible than many others at your age. Love you and so happy for you 💕
You will definitely learn new things when you move in together 😂😂 living together is so different having someone in your space all the time is definitely an adjustment 😂😂 good luck rach XX
Honestly I get the all the significances of wearing an engagement/wedding ring on our ring finger... But I know that I’ll be wearing mine (one day when it happens hahah) on a necklace A) cause any rings I’ve worn end up scratched to bits and with stones falling out cause I just don’t live life gently I guess? So this kind of ring is for sure the last I’d wanna damage in any way! And B) cause I feel the the necklace keeps it hanging close to your heart and so it has a similar sweetness to the ring fingers heart connection? And when I go to touch/fiddle with my necklaces it feels like a grounding, almost hand-to-heart gesture and overall I feel like wearing your ring on a necklace is just as powerful and beautiful as wearing it on your hand 💖❤️
So true about ring shopping! My boyfriend and I went ring shopping two months ago (knowing we want to get married sometime soon) to figure out my style because I had no clue! 😂 Anywho, turns out I'm very classic solitaire style with rose gold (and small diamond!). He just bought the ring the other day so who knows when the proposal will be! 🤷🏻♀️. That's up to God and His timing!! Thank you, Jesus, I can have patience and peace! 🤗 It is okay to go ring shopping!!! My sister is the one who suggested it and I am very very grateful! It's certainly a giddy feeling when you find the right one, at least it was for me and I am not really a jewelery kind girl!!
If you need a temporary solution for your ring, you can go on eBay and get a ring size adjuster that will make it a bit smaller. I’ve seen someone use the plastic spiral one :)
Elisa BertagnI she said some where before that the place they got it from has a life time werity and that’s why she doesn’t want to take it some where else or do it herself
No need to justify ring to anyone. One issue is that, the vast majority of people minds, change drastically from when they’re in their 20’s. To when they’re in their 30’s40’s. If you read this you will think, no the way I think now is the way I will always think. Those are the same thoughts everyone else has or had in their 20’s.
I think probably christians get married young it's definitely the "no sex before marriage" kinda a vibe and that's sort of the reason why they're getting married young
I’m just stating the true facts.... It’s their faith and having sex before marriage is a sin within their “Christianity belief”. Hence why they’re choosing to get married young, and of course I do believe they are happy as well.
That is definitely not why we are getting married young 😂 like I said in the video, we don’t have to justify ourselves. But I don’t think it’s appropriate to assume someone would make one of the biggest decisions of their lives based on sex. At least that’s not what our decision is based on. 👍🏼
My fiancé chose my ring all by himself and it is different to anything I ever wanted and I love it so much! It’s so much better than I would’ve ever chosen 😍
This vid just came up in my recommendation! Such a helpful & honest video. As a 21yo hoping to get engaged this year, this made me super excited to see how happy you are xx
Love this! I got engaged at the end of February and just got my engagement party in and got my wedding dress before things shut down. All my family is interstate as well so I totally understand!
so so excited for you! congratulations girl, you are so amazing and this next chapter of your life is going to be incredible!! soak up every moment and we can’t wait to see how beautiful your going to look. so much love 💞💞
I know you said you wouldn't stack it at the moment which is understandable, when you do get married and have a wedding ring to go with it try and make sure it's the same type of metal (ie- if it's a 9ct white gold ring get the same, or 18ct, etc) . if you put a 9k ring next to an 18k ring or just generally put two different types of metals together in that sense they'll rub together and it'll wear down faster than it normally would. not to say it would happen right away but just in the general sense. congratulations!
haha!! ive never heard the term "bridezilla". I absolutely love how respectful you are and how you word things. you are so strong in what you believe and how that makes you want to act in the world and thats a really amazing quality to have. x
Have a first look and get all your couple/romantic photos taken before the ceremony. Perfect make up , less waiting time for guests and it seems so intermit just a you two thing before all the eyes 😘
I also think that it is irrealistic to expect to be proposed to without a warning. Marriage is too much of a big deal to be plan just by one person! will you vlog the actual wedding??
I was nervous about walking down the aisle and having everyone staring at us too! (I hate attention on me 😜) I was so nervous standing outside the chapel, but as soon as the doors opened and I was my husband at the alter all the nerves just faded away. Didn’t think twice about everyone staring because all I saw was him. 💗
Can totally relate to the fear of walking down the aisle. I know I would cry but I don’t want to ruin my makeup!!!! I do hope my future husband cries when he seems me tho hehe
I'm 22 and just got married two months ago. Not religious at all, we just know what we wanted 🤷🏼♀️ the people who know us know that we're mature and this is real. You know your relationship better than anyone 😁
I know it’s obviously unique to you as a couple, but how much roughly were you wanting to have saved before getting married? Was it for the wedding specifically, or also to make sure you had savings to support yourselves? Would be super helpful for other gals in similar situations to know a ballpark figure that works for you guys specifically 🥰 Also, were conversations with the family awkward at all when discussing marriage? X
I have a solitaire engagement ring too and I did the exact same thing when I tried on all those other ones and I hated them!! They were too much on my finger too lol
I've been watching you for awhile now, pretty much jump on YT as soon as I got the notif that you've uploaded😂 so much, my partner would start suggesting to watch you because he thinks you're cool! Hahaha
omg okay so this is going to be so hard to explain over a comment but when you said that you were excited to not have to say goodbye I was ready to cry. Okay, so... My mom and my stepdad had been in a relationship for a few years already and they were already engaged. Him and his sons lived about 45 minutes away from us so we started spending the weekends at their house. Long story short, one night, he thought my mom was already asleep so he wrapped his arms around her and whispered, "Just wait baby, one day we won't have to say goodbye anymore. One day we will have our house together and be married and never have to say goodbye again." Now they're married and we all live together under one roof and as hectic as it can get sometimes, I wouldn't trade it for the world because I know that my mom is so incredibly happy. Anyways, that is one of my favorite stories ever and I hope you read it and enjoy. Sending blessings your way!
The more I watch the video the more comments i have lol. It’s funny bc my fiancé acted different moments before the proposal I was like hmmm. He was just nervous! Also funny bc the same thing you did with your nails I did. After we looked at engagement rings I started doing my nails because i was sure when it would happen !
So happy for you guys! Curious what's your thoughts when people say "you don't truly know someone until you live with them"? Have you lived with Liam before? I'm sure he'll let you design and decorate the house anyways haha
You were saying because of what’s happening in the world you don’t know when your going to get married.. Does that mean if this pandemic wasn’t going on, you would be getting married this year?? You don’t want to be engaged for long?
I got sized and they were like you’re a P but then happened to go somewhere else on a hot day and they said I was a Q (fingers expand in the heat) then went back to the original place and they said I was a P so it is possible when she got sized, they got the size wrong. 😂
The sales lady convinced him to go one size up ‘just in case’ 😤 I know it’s easier to get it resized if it’s too big, than it would be if it was too small, but I’m still annoyed hahaha
I got married last year to my husband (I’m 21) and I had NO IDEA. We are strong Christians and I really wanted to get married young but he would always not want me to bring it up. We knew we wanted to get married, but he made it out like it would be a few years for when we finish uni and stuff. Little did I know, he already had the ring and proposed the day my best friend got back from her honeymoon heheh
Our Rachel is growing up 😢.
Ya... 😔
Cheyenne604 Mcnamara we are all growing
Literally cannot wait to see your wedding theme! Can just picture gum leaves, heaps of greenery and wooden theme with lots of candles! I cant wait for the vlogs where you take us along with planning etc! xxx yayyy!
i actually can’t get over how similar our engagement stories are! and 5 days apart! so cool to hear all about it 😍
I feel that if a proposal is a complete surprise, it’s a bit of a worry. When you think about it, it kind of means that one person is on a very different page with regard to the relationship.
I’m 22 and have never had a boyfriend so this is a bit depressing hahah but so happy for you! And so excited for the future wedding videos :)
Don't feel bad! Everyone is on their own path! I heard the quote, "don't compare your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20" and it really stuck! :)
Don’t be depressed! You want it to be special and a SURPRISE trust me!
Jesus loves you!😊❤ so very much!
I'm 27 and I just got married, people kept thinking I was too young to get married... age is relative and you will always be 'young' to those on a different frequency. Its not the age, it's that's it doesn't match with their ideal standards.
Not having to say goodbye is truly one of the best parts of being married/living together. I love that whenever I come home, I know he'll be there.
I’m 21 and engaged and the amount of people judge me for it is a joke but as you said its no ones business but my partner and I
Dana’s Little Corner 21 lol try 17...get a lot of negative comments
Same here ! But it brings me comfort in knowing that there are so many of us who are continuing to follow Gods plan for our lives.
Not ever having to saying goodbye again is so special. You are going to enjoy marriage, so much 💕
What a refreshing young couple you both are. I love that you embrace your faith. Congratulations!
I remember watching her videos from when she was in high school, now she's engaged😭
So so happy for you and Liam🥰
I got engaged at 21 in March, pregnant in July and married in October. Now weeks from my 27th birthday and happily married with two kids!
You’ll love marriage and I can’t wait to see your journey happen 💕
My husband and I don’t wear a rings most the time due to our work in the healthcare industry. Our rings are kept safe in our jewellery box. :)
I don't even think it matters if you are "too young" because literally, you act more responsible than many others at your age. Love you and so happy for you 💕
In a video recently you were talking about saving, and how you had been saving for something and finally reached the big goal, was it to do with this?
oh true!! didnt even catch this
oh yeah trueeeee
You will definitely learn new things when you move in together 😂😂 living together is so different having someone in your space all the time is definitely an adjustment 😂😂 good luck rach XX
I remember watching you when you were in high school and now your getting married!? 🤯💗
I was the most excited about just coming home and him just being there! And I can confirm, it was definitely the best 💕
hahaha thinking of Jess & Gabe getting engaged after like 6/7 months
Hahahaha yeah! But they seem like such a great couple!! So obviously that does work sometimes!!
Honestly I get the all the significances of wearing an engagement/wedding ring on our ring finger...
But I know that I’ll be wearing mine (one day when it happens hahah) on a necklace
A) cause any rings I’ve worn end up scratched to bits and with stones falling out cause I just don’t live life gently I guess? So this kind of ring is for sure the last I’d wanna damage in any way!
And B) cause I feel the the necklace keeps it hanging close to your heart and so it has a similar sweetness to the ring fingers heart connection? And when I go to touch/fiddle with my necklaces it feels like a grounding, almost hand-to-heart gesture and overall I feel like wearing your ring on a necklace is just as powerful and beautiful as wearing it on your hand 💖❤️
I love her 'I don't care' attitude ❤️
I love Becks reaction 😂❤… she is so excited for you ❤
I love your response to being excited to wake up to Liam and not say goodbye to him. So cute 🥰 cannot wait for wedding related videos soon!
i've watched your channel for a few years and my dad just walked in and said "is that the brisbane uni girl? i know her voice" lmao
😂😂😂

It'll be so nice Rach the feeling of having your SO around after work/waking up is great. Excited for you to experience the simple things hahah
My fiancé and I also got scepticism from people due to our age, 19 and 23! BUT we know God had the timing planned perfectly ❤️ much love to you both!!
I ugly cried the whole ceremony and had to fix my makeup before we could take any photos. Our pastor thought it was hilarious.
If you need a temporary solution for your ring, you can go on eBay and get a ring size adjuster that will make it a bit smaller. I’ve seen someone use the plastic spiral one :)
yes! I use one as my ring is slightly too big. I love it

Absolutely incredible I loved this so so much 💕💕
Have a first look and get all your couple/romantic photos taken before the ceremony. Perfect make up , less waiting time for guests and it seems so intermit just a you two thing before all the eyes 😘
I think I love the idea of the first time him seeing me being walking down the aisle, so at this stage I don’t think we’ll do a first look!
would loveee to see more about your financial planning for marriage ❤️
I also think that it is irrealistic to expect to be proposed to without a warning. Marriage is too much of a big deal to be plan just by one person!
will you vlog the actual wedding??
Ahh this makes me so exciting to get engaged! It's lovely being in love xx
I was nervous about walking down the aisle and having everyone staring at us too! (I hate attention on me 😜)
I was so nervous standing outside the chapel, but as soon as the doors opened and I was my husband at the alter all the nerves just faded away. Didn’t think twice about everyone staring because all I saw was him. 💗
Argh this makes me excited to get married one day 🤧

“And he was laughing at an empty sand dune” HAHA I lost it at that. The way you tell stories is so funny 😂
I last watched you when you were turning 20! I can't believe it congratulations lovely, you deserve all the happiness! xx
Ahh best video to watch considering I’m also 22 and just got engaged a month ago 😍💍
This is so exciting!!! AHHHH congratulations!!!
I know it’s obviously unique to you as a couple, but how much roughly were you wanting to have saved before getting married? Was it for the wedding specifically, or also to make sure you had savings to support yourselves? Would be super helpful for other gals in similar situations to know a ballpark figure that works for you guys specifically 🥰 Also, were conversations with the family awkward at all when discussing marriage?

Could you make a video how you budgeted ?
I have a solitaire engagement ring too and I did the exact same thing when I tried on all those other ones and I hated them!! They were too much on my finger too lol
Enjoyed this Q&A! So happy for you!

CONGRATULATIONS!!
Oh no the borders for qld are closed!
I'm grateful that I get to fly back to the Gold Coast from Melbourne in a few days. Cause I'm a resident. But yeah
What carrot is your ring? It seems like the perfect size! Just wondering for reference 😉
Awesome video Rachel!😸😻😸
Not even mad about these engagement/wedding related videos. Not. Even. Mad. hahaha
You were saying because of what’s happening in the world you don’t know when your going to get married.. Does that mean if this pandemic wasn’t going on, you would be getting married this year?? You don’t want to be engaged for long?
I love your vids. Congrats by the way!
How much did you aim to save for the wedding ?
Will you film your engagement party/ Wendy for RUclips? And get it professionally done with cute music? 😍
Thank you for your honesty
21 minutes!!!! Yasssssss
Did Liam ask your parents permission before proposing? Beautiful couple!
Love the video!!
I am so happy for you
Did you film your other friends reactions?
I got married at 20! best thing ever did
Where you at Victoria Point over the weekend? Swear I seen youuuuu
You are so cute and lovely it’s my first time here on your channel but i am so so sooooo happy for you
u look so pretty :)
Hey lovely where is you shirt from?
If you both went to look through rings and get sized, how did the ring he got you end up being too big!? Just confused haha 😂
Maybe he found a ring he really liked but they just didn't happen to have it in the right size at the time?
I got sized and they were like you’re a P but then happened to go somewhere else on a hot day and they said I was a Q (fingers expand in the heat) then went back to the original place and they said I was a P so it is possible when she got sized, they got the size wrong. 😂
The sales lady convinced him to go one size up ‘just in case’ 😤 I know it’s easier to get it resized if it’s too big, than it would be if it was too small, but I’m still annoyed hahaha
Rachel Catherine oh damn!! So annoying! But at least it can be fixed, and such a stunning ring so he did a great job 😍💕
Finally💥💥
Good vid squad fam
