Me rushing to see this even tho I don’t plan on getting married for another decade:
There ain’t nothing wrong with this!!!
Haha. Agreed 😂
@@NeishaGina Same (but 15 for me)
yeah I'm 16 but I'm making note of all of these in the back of my mind-
You never know honestly. I got married when I was 20 I was expecting to get married late 20s atleast 30 😅
Something that we did at our wedding (thanks to our wedding planners suggestion!) was while everyone was getting ready for the sparkler exit outside we stayed inside to have a special last dance to end the night away. My husband ended up picking out the song and for someone who hates being the center of attention, the dance felt more special than even our first dance in front of everyone.
Ohh that sounds so sweet and magical ✨️
That's such a sweet memory.
My husband and I did this as well! It was wonderful. One of my favorite parts of the night.
OMG i love love love this idea! i'm seventeen and TOTALLY using it on my day
Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
I love how intently you watch each other talk, you can see the level of love and respect you have for each other, not only as siblings or twins but as equals and just humans in general
Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Could you do a video breaking down the costs of both of your weddings (like flowers, food, decorations, etc)? I think it would be great to see the difference in price when you two have very different weddings! Thank you❤
This is a great idea
I was thinking about how good that would be too! People talk about the cost but never the breakdown which is good for those wanting to or planning already
I'm not sure how much their stuff was! That would be interesting to know.
I just wanted to jump in and say that I got married last December, and I can share my wedding costs if anyone is curious. During that time, I also toured a few venues and got their costs, so I could share some of those as well perhaps. Just let me know if you're interested! 🙂
Would LOVE a video like that!!
this! and include how much the flights were and everything
I got married 3 years ago. Trying on wedding dresses was a NIGHTMARE. I think I tried on over 100 dresses for a lot of different reasons. In the end I was so stressed that I bought one just to say I did. I eventually had to go back, by myself, and decide which one truly felt like me. I ended up with a dress I love but don’t be afraid to go alone if you know yourself! I was taking in too many opinions
Although I'm not married yet BUT I can definitely understand your point and I love it. People can make you go off track and with all the excitement, you can forget what you wanted in the first place. Alone time does make you understand more about you and helps you concentrate on your thoughts.
This spoke to me! I bought a dress on sale. I liked it. It looks good on me. But it wasn't what I wanted from the beginning. In my alone time I started getting so stressed over whether I made a wrong decicion. I will go and try on more dresses. I can always sell the dress I bought if I find a better one that truly feels like my style.
100% to all these things! I totally agree
Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
@@awatif59 I did this! I found my dream wedding dress by myself! My maid of honour doesn’t particular like it but I don’t care it’s MY dress and I’m so happy I went by myself :)
When Bailey said she’s seen people who had their whole wedding in the rain and their sill happy it reminded me of Roni and Aaron’s wedding 🥺
same!
In terms of price, I think it’s also fair to note that Brooklyn got married this year when inflation is super high and it may have played a part in the weddings being similar in price.
Can we hear a men version of this from their POV’s ? Like how they felt about it and some tips from them?
So beautiful to watch, I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me,i still love her and most times i can't stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just can't, i love her so much, i don't know what i am bring this here for, i 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.
@@haynesatteh4463 wow, how did you get a spiritual adviser, and how do i reach her?
@@bartholetbay412 her name is MIRIAM CHAMANI DIETRICH, and she is a great spiritual adviser as well as a caster and healer.
y’all are like acting out a skit rn you’ve done this on so many videos lmao
I'm not engaged or married, but I just want to remind people to enjoy their engagement 😊 You don't have to get married within the year you get engaged. Give yourself time so you're not having to rush and plan out a timeline that works for you if you can 💕
agreed! there's no issue with being engaged for a few years while you adjust to the idea and take your time planning a wedding. I was engaged for 1.5 years before my wedding and wouldn't have minded waiting longer. Of course we lived together already so there was no rush to be together in that way...
I'm not married but was recently a bridesmaid and the bride had designated a few responsibilities to each bridesmaid plus put the schedule for the day as all our lock screens :)
I LOVE that you brought up spending time with your spouse on your day. I am a wedding coordinator in MN and I highly recommend for my couples to find time to spend alone time and soak up all the love and excitement together. I had a lot of couples that decided to have this alone time during the social hour.
I’m also an Event Coordinator in MN!
My husband escorted me when I had to go to the bathroom at our reception because he knew people would want to talk to both of us and was afraid we would end up separated for a long stretch. We also had a “sweetheart” table with just the two of us while we ate dinner at the reception.
One thing that my fiance and I are doing that I recommend everyone do is make a separate email JUST for wedding stuff! Gmail specifically so you can build any spreadsheets or lists, keep any/all important documents, and have all your wedding-related correspondences in one place. It's so helpful!
Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Also! Designate someone as your “problem solver” if you don’t have a coordinator or planner! I was my friend’s MOH and literally so many issues on wedding day she never knew about until the next day bc the planner was informing me instead of bride to problem solve 😅 people passed out from heat, cake melting bc OG cake never delivered, drunk parents, so many issues lol
Thanks for making it NORMAL to be overprepared/preparing early. I bought my dress a month after getting engaged, before we even had a date or venue, and soooo many people judged me for it and said it was too soon. But now that I am in the thick of all the planning, I am so thankful that big piece is done and out of the way. Plus, it has been a blast styling my wedding around my dress.
I bought my dress a month and a half before getting engaged AND we booked our venue and honeymoon two months before getting engaged. we both were good with everything happening and having it planned out to be prepared- no one else’s opinion matters ✨🥰
This is what I plan on doing if I ever decide to "walk that plank" lol plan around the dress.. I've seen so many go the other way and end up not wanting their perfect dress because it didn't fit in with the rest of the wedding.
Highly controversial move, but my husband and I decided to hold our party/reception the night before our ceremony. We had a lot of confused family at first, but afterwards we had so many people tell us how much they loved it. I feel like the reception is the most stressful part in terms of thinking of feeding and socializing and taking care of everyone else, so to have that done before our ceremony meant we were much more present for the most important part of a wedding. We had our ceremony the next morning, a family lunch that we actually got to eat, we weren't exhausted by an incredibly long day, and we had a lot of time together as new spouses on the day of our wedding. I know this isn't for everyone, but it worked so well for us and it's not something a lot of people even think of!
I literally had the worst wedding in the world. I mean if anything it could go wrong, it did. It ALL went wrong. But, I’ve been married for 32 years. It’s not about the wedding, it’s about the marriage.
Heck yeah. At the end of the day, as long as you're married & it lasts, that's all that matters.
Mine too! 12 years later and it doesn't even matter that my cake got iced tea dumped all over it or my dress didn't fit and I forgot to shave my armpits..... 🤣
Yes! My aunt and uncle say the same thing. They had so many things go wrong on their wedding day. The worst being that one of the candles actually caused a small fire. 😬 But they're still happily married over 30 years later, and while they wish the day would have been a bit better, they just laugh about it now and mention how grateful they are that they were still able to get married. That's what mattered most of all.
I don’t know what it is about Bailey but she’s glowing in this video! ❤
i agree! they both do!! (as always :))
ITK
I agree!!!
love the way Bailey listens and is so attentive to Brooklyn
Highly recommend a private last dance! It gives you a moment at the end of the night to take in the day privately with your spouse :)
I also had a cleaning inventory/checklist and had 4 different friends/family members designed for this task. They said it was super fast, and easy! We also scheduled lunches and dinners with these individuals after our honeymoon to catch up and collect things from them.
Scheduling time for you and your groom is a HUGE one that I wish more couples would write into their day. As a wedding photographer, I try to do that for them by doing a first look and getting photos early that way after the ceremony they actually have time to hang out rather than filling it all up with photos. Great video!
I HATED planning my wedding! And honestly I'm glad y'all mentioned Brooklyn not liking the planning process either. I love my husband and loved my Wedding but the stress was a lot on someone with anxiety.
Same. It turned out great but super stressful. I wouldn’t want to ever do it again.
Pro tip: you don't have to book your venue 1-2 years out if you do it on a week day. Plus, you'll save thousands this way!
And most guests won’t show though because of work
@@nikkidutt2034 those who want to come will be there though, i don’t advise relying on “well this friend won’t be able to come” who cares? it’s YOUR day
Good tip!
Very true! We booked ours on a Saturday 2 yrs out because we wanted a huge party with an unlimited bar, but that would not work for anyone on a week day lol
For the next Video, y'all should do a "what I wish I knew as a girlfriend" just your advice on things and what to expect guys to think or something (maybe you could have Dakota and Asa in there as well to get their perspective) love you guys and I've been here since 2013!
It’s funny how when I started watching y’all, you both looked identical.
Now I’ve been watching you for so long that you don’t look identical.
Also, Brooklyn, your wedding was amazing. It was so perfect. 🌲
I loved Baileys too it was so glamorous! ✨
Love y’all. ♥️
Something else that's advice, tell your wedding planner anything that makes you happy. I get really bad social anxiety when I'm around people for hours on end, and I told her that, so she made me a panic room to go if I got overwhelmed. I didn't end up using the room, but it was nice to know it was there just in case. Also, while deciding the table placement, I told her that I love Harry Potter. So instead of circle tables, she made them like the great hall dining room. Just mention anything that makes you happy to help make your day special and they will most likely make it happen!
Great points! Best wedding advice we had from our wedding planner, was taking time just me and my husband after the ceremony and before the cocktail hour. We went to a side room just the two of us with some food and drinks and just got to take in the fact that we got married. That small time together was really special!
Loved Brooklyn as a bride, she looked stunning! LOVE U ALL!
This feels like the twin power we've missed lately 💕. So glad you both had beautiful and special weddings💚
honestly this is such a good list, i am far from being married but I remember planning my quinceñera and it’s just like planning a wedding! the last point is so relevant and im so glad I prepared myself for the worst because it made my day so much better.
This is full of great advice! I've been married for 3.5 years now, but definitely stand by this. It helped me SO much to have simple, comforting food available on my wedding day so I didn’t have to worry about trying something new or messy!
Love love love these wise words! Congratulations again to you both. Screaming with joy for you both as you embark upon the journey of marriage, what a gift it is!
I got married on a Tuesday and it was the best thing about our planning I ever did. Kept the ceremony small and simple and we did the reception with the masses a couple weeks later. Our wedding day was calm and relaxed and we were off and away before dinner and had the rest of the day just for my husband and me. We actually went on a dinner picnic, just the two of us! 💗
when bailey was talking about people being happy to get married in the rain i thought of julie and camilla :) their wedding pics were so beautiful!
Baileys personality is so amazing and she inspires me a lot. Love the video!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I'm still in high school and don't aticipate getting married in the next few years, but like you guys said, it's never too early to start planning!! (or dreaming, in my case :). Congrats to both of you!!!!!! ❤💍👰
You guys are truly the big sis’ I need! Btw you guys were both stunning brides! 🤩
At my wedding my husband and I skipped walking around to every table at dinner to greet guests… instead we left the venue and got amazing pictures just the two of us (and our photographer of course). And I’m so happy we did because the photos are amazing! And the guests didn’t care that we were gone for like 45 minutes!
Loved the make sure you eat comment. We picked a venue where we made sure we LOVED the food and made sure our expectations were that since the day was about us, we were going to enjoy dinner and dessert at our reception and if people wanted to chat with us while eating, they could come up to us, but that was our day to be a little selfish! Plus we the food was THAT good :) My advice to future brides, don't feel guilty for wanting to sit down and eat at your reception!!
I got married almost 3 years ago right before Christmas! This video is awesome! The best advice I agree with in it is do what makes you and your spouse to be happy!
Also I had the moment of this is my dress the second I put it on thankfully, because I am super indecisive and there were about 5 different "second" choices.
Whatever you do, make sure you ENJOY the big day and take it all in as it is! ❤️
Point 11: choosing bride maides is not just about getting beautiful photos is people who make u feel special & can cheer u up and help u get yourself together when things go wrong
I really needed this video ❤ my fiancé and I are getting married 10 months from today!! Crazy! For me wedding planning so far has been so stressful 😂I’m like Brooklyn.I have had to remove a bridesmaid from my wedding and that was hard for me but I had the love and support from other friends and family who knew that this wedding is about me and my fiancé and not anyone else. My advice to anyone reading the comments is that stuff does come up along the way but to try to remember that this day is about you and your fiancé.❤
If you ever want to get your wedding bouquet preserved , do get in touch with me.
congrats!
Much love, Brooklyn and Bailey! You two are glowing.✨🥰
brooklyn and bailey is becoming like my big sister figures in youtube and i love that. im thankful to have known you guys!!
I got so many weird looks from friends and family when we started touring venues a few days after getting engaged but they don’t realize the venues book out SO far in advance!!
We ended up booking at our 4th venue tour and booked our wedding for 13 months later!
I would love to see a video of both of your experiences of things that did go wrong! I don’t think we saw any of that in the wedding videos. I would find the stories interesting 😊
Literally planning my wedding now as I’m watching this! Glad this came up on my RUclips binge lol these are all SUCH good tips ❤
I really like the one y'all said "spend more time with your spouse during the wedding". I am an introvert and when I get a hubby lol and we have yk a great relationship and we're close, I would wanna be by his side more during the wedding cus I feel like that's just special and a lot of people can be overwhelming.
I was binge watching y’all like 2 days ago and y’all was so tiny even only a few years ago 😭 Even though y’all are like 3 or 4 years older than me, I feel like I fell asleep, woke again and y’all graduated college. I blink and y’all already married 🥺🫶🏾
Currently planning my wedding and the planing process is the most un enjoyable process and it’s so validating to hear that it’s ok I was stressing out even more because it’s not exciting 😂definitely needed this!
My husband and I just got married in May we had a 2 year engagement period and ended up replanting out wedding 3 times. The main thing we got out of the experience is really sit down and decide what you want together before you make any large decisions. We had a total of 8 guests and it was amazing.
Makes me miss my wedding day , my biggest advice is don’t worry if not many people rsvp or come to the wedding , this is you and your spouses special day and the people who love you most will be there for you ❤ and be in the moment
This was SO helpful! I’m currently engaged and planning a wedding and appreciate this advice SO much ❤
Great tips! Can confirm the accuracy of them. ☺️
I had a super tiny wedding - less than 25 people. It was perfect! And I still absolutely HATED the planning process even though it was so simple compared to what most people do. But to your point, because we had the wedding in my grandparents backyard on a lake, everyone who was invited to the wedding got to spend the whole day hanging out there on the lake, boating and swimming in-between setting up decorations and getting ready for the wedding. That was probably my favorite part. I got to be with my guy all day long, too, which was awesome!
We went super small. Immediate family only ceremony and about 60 people at an outdoor reception with cake and pizza and music and yard games. $1500 later and I recommend that to EVERYONE. You hear too many horror stories about people going into debt for a wedding day that brought them nothing but stress. And bonus, our guests loved it too, because it didn’t have any of the stuffy stuff that’s boring for guests. Everybody wins.
i got married this fall and my husband and I were together almost all day, starting from the morning where his brass band woke us up over to my hairdresser coming over, cutting his and doing my hair, then we changed in seperate rooms (at the same time) and met in the living room to go the venue to have pictures taken together... all that happened before the wedding at noon and we were together all the time, it was really nice... calmed me down a lot too :)
This are really some great tips! Both of your weddings were beautiful🤍😍 I went to a wedding when I was younger and it started pouring rain so hard that we were stuck at the cathedral, the venue after was completely flooded and after we left they told us that some people couldn't leave and the dress, food and everything got soaked and ruined but they still had a blast. Thank God there was a hotel right beside the place😂🤷🏻♀️ so YES EVERYTHING ABSOLUTELY CAN GO WRONG, just be positive and enjoy it!😅👍🏻😁
I love the way both of you talk with a lot of sincerity 💚✨🙌🏻
Your wedding was sooooo Beautiful! Love y’all!!
Very good advice! I especially agree with the part about taking some time to be with your spouse after the ceremony. It really helped my husband and I to process the day, and I could get a bit of a breather! 😅
Especially love the last advice! Someone told me this before my wedding and it helped change my mindset so much!!! My husband actually got a bloody nose during our vows, but we just laughed it off (and got him lots of tissues hahah) and now have a story to tell!!! Something WILL go wrong and it’s good to prepare your mindset for that!
Bailey is literally glowing! The fit, hair, makeup, yess!!
I am not getting married for another 3 years or so but honestly this was quite helpful, i am definitely rewatching this video once I get engaged or so.
So Thankyou for this amazing tips and sharing your honest opinion. ❤️
Love that the outfit choices reflect their individual personalities 😍😍
My biggest tip as a bride? Anticipate how your body will react to stress/nerves/ all the emotions and PLAN FOR IT! I thought I was calm and cool, but my body was in panic mode the whole day. Once I was finally able to relax and enjoy my wedding, the adrenaline kicked in and I ended up throwing up from it. Had to leave my wedding early because the nerves had taken over 😂 I still had an amazing day but if you know how your body reacts to these situations, plan ahead!!!
This is how my body reacts to stress and I just learned a nausea trick where u smell isopropyl alcohol and its worked good for me so far. U can keep a non-scented germx keychain on u or get some of those little rubbing alcohol packets, like what gets rubbed on u b4 getting a shot at a drs office for on the go and its amazing how fast the nausea goes away!
Not even engaged at the moment, but keeping all these things in mind that nobody ever talks about! I love hearing it from you guys. .especially since you are my age, so fun and interesting to hear you talk about it!
Love thiss! Engaged, spring/summer 2023 bride so excited! First thing we did was book the venue. We lucked out on it because we’re getting married prime wedding season and our venue is highly sought after and booked 2 years in advance. But we got the general date we wanted! And the very next thing we did was get the dress :) now we’re so much closer to the date, since these two things were set everything else just fell into place tbh!
Over the last 2-3 years I have a fairly clear idea of what I want for a wedding. Being in a long term relationship or not, I’ve gotten a good idea of what I want to spend the most on vs not. But I do think it’s a great idea to plan all that In advanced AND Pinterest will be your best friend! Pinterest “wedding board ” with all the little details from dresses, hair, venues, color scheme for flowers, bridal party, picture poses, invitation, rings etc
This was so tremendously helpful!!
Can y'all do an engagement version? That would be helpful as well❤️ thank you so much for all your advice ☺️
Thank you for all the advices and experience. Super helpful. I am not getting married for a decade. Last wish you should have added about getting period on your wedding because Brooklyn was on her period on the wedding day. Love you ❤
we couldn't be more oppostite. dated 10 years, got engaged, engaged 7 months now, no idea what im doing. you guys were SUPER prepared lol
Dated 10 years and your just now getting engaged
@@Pinkkkkk yep!
Wedding dress shopping - go with an open mind, don’t get one kind of dress stuck in your head, you might find something that you NEVER thought would be you, and you fall in love with it.
Wedding party - post wedding, everyone forgets stuff after the event. I would suggest having a basket/ box that once everything is used, place it in there.
So many other things, but definitely take care of yourself. Too many times, I have heard that the bride and groom didn’t eat anything, and when you leave, you’re exhausted, and starving.
#10 is the most important. Whatever happens, happens and enjoy your day. This was my mentality and had the best wedding day. The other advice I got. Take moments to take everything in. The day goes so fast and it is so good to pause, look around, and notice the little things. I intentionally did this a few times on my wedding day and so happy that i did.
Yes to designating someone to gather your stuff!👏🏼 I was my friend’s MOH & I tried to keep her stuff gathered, but she was very much like I can do it myself it’s okay. And thennnn she left her wedding dress AT the venue (we stayed overnight)!😅 thankfully they were able to go back to get it bc they didn’t leave until the next week for their honeymoon
I’m getting married on May 14, 2023 and everything in this video is so relatable. The job of a bride is intense lol and I think this video captures that really well!
I had an eventful wedding. My stepfather passed out in the parking lot at my reception and was rushed to the hospital. It was stressful but he ended up fine by the end of the night. Love this video!!
I just got engaged this weekend and I absolutely needed this!! I am 100% here for more videos like this
Congratulations!! 🤍💍
Congratulations!
I am not getting married or anything like that, but in response to point number two it makes sense; I was a bridesmaid in one wedding and after getting my dress altered I don't think I really tried it on until I was wearing it for real, and thankfully it was okay, but there were some elements of my dress that actually sent me into a minor panic attack, and I think it would have been avoided had I tried it in before that day and gotten used to things or figured out solutions before the big day
I am SO here for the wedding content!!!
You guys look BEAUTIFUL! love your hair Bails!!! ❤️❤️❤️
These are all really great topics that I never would have thought about! So helpful
The last advice was 100% YES. My makeup girl canceled on me the day before a few hours before I had to go to sleep. I had to drive to Walgreens because it was the only thing open and bought makeup and I did it myself!
This was super helpful! I just got engaged in October and getting married in 2 years! Thanks B&B! ❤
I’m getting married in a few months and still have so much to plan. This was so helpful, thank you!
I am not engaged or married, but I have friends who are, and it's ok to be engaged and for you to take time to plan you don't have to be like ok I'm engaged wedding dress, venue straight away, but I do guess it does depend on when you get engaged, but go with the mentality that you can take your time to plan after getting engaged or if you know you'll be engaged soon.
Baileys hair looks so cute! Love you!❤
Brooklyn's natural hair color!! So pretty 💜 keep growing it out!
Yass gals we need more content like this! SO useful for a future bride to be. Love from England xxx
Y'all are so beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful day!!
I didn't physically tour venues before I got engaged but I definitely had a list of places I wanted to check out!
I got married in between when you 2 got married. I got married in July of this year. I agree with most of these points. I actually didn't have much time with my spouse until after we finished and were in our hotel. I thought we would for a few minutes but I forgot. I actually didn't mind though. I also got annoyed with people telling me all the time that something would go wrong the day of. Even though, it's true I liked that you guys pointed out to focus on why you're there rather than just leaving it at something will go wrong, which was my experience.
I tried on my whole outfit multiple times before my wedding day! For sure recommend! I found my dress several months before I got engaged due to certain logistics. Also worth it! The other thing that saved me stress was I started planning early. It was a year and 4 months that we were engaged. Start bits and pieces early to save stress. Also, let people help you!
Perfect timing! I'm half way through my planning time for our June 2023 wedding. Haven't had much drama yet besides my mother in law trying to take over a few times then threatening to not come to the wedding once 😬 This week has been the first proper stress with figuring out timings for hair and make up for each person. I've realised UK weddings usually have morning or earlier ceremonies compared to U.S but our ceremony is 12.30pm so it's been a struggle figuring out how to get everyone ready and to travel half an hour to the church.
I definitely needed to see this!! I just got engaged 2 weeks ago and now a lot of this makes me want to start planning now!
My first cousin just got married last Saturday!! And I was one of her bridesmaids so I’ll have to share this video with her!!
Another tip: consider if you want to preserve your flowers and make plans for them if so. I got married last month and the thought never crossed my mind until it was over and we were cleaning up. People came to me asking what I wanted to do with the flowers and all I could think of was just throw them away because I wouldn’t be home to enjoy them since I was leaving the next day for the honeymoon.
This video was so real! Thank you so much for all this advice ❤
Hey Congratulations on your weddings... I was so excited my dream was to get married on the beach... the day of my wedding it was a monsoon. It had not rained at all that month til my wedding day. I felt like my dream shattered.. people kept telling me that it was good luck. I was so upset. When I put my dress on I was like why did I get this one.. everything was nothing like I had hoped and dreamed of.. I barely saw my husband that night bc there was just so many people and people he met for the first time trying to talk to him while I was on the dance floor trying to enjoy myself... everything bailey and Brooklyn said is so true.. good luck future brides..
Y’all are so pretty! Love you guys! ❤❤❤
My husband and I went out to breakfast the morning of our wedding and exchanged our vows then. It was the perfect way to start the day!
