thanks for sharing your opinions & tips on the wedding, I really appreciate it! 🥰 I‘ll share some more details on my point of view in my next vlog, I feel like I didn‘t give you enough context so my point can be easily misunderstood 🙏🏻 on another note: I think we found the perfect solution for both of us with the help of your ideas 🌝❤️

[cynmndz]

Family and Friends plays a big part. Their energy is what makes it a even more memorable. So I agree with him 😊

I think Dongin is right about the guests. I personally got married on 2/22/22 at the courthouse with just us two, then had a nice meal at an Italian restaurant with our close family (20 people) that night. A few months later we had a more traditional west African wedding that was relevant to my husband's culture when the weather was nicer in September. For that we had a buffet and about 65 people. It was nice to be intimate on the actual day, but we wrote vows and had more ceremony for the September wedding with everyone there and shared those special words with our community. I like that I got to wear a big white dress for the official marriage, then an African print dress at the ceremony. Both days were amazing in their own way because we were able to process our emotions on the small day with just us, then celebrate later once we got used to being married for a few months and wrote vows. Just my anecdote lol Congratulations to you two!

As an Asian it’s really difficult to just choose close 10 people for the wedding. Like it’s important to invite from both the mother and father side close relatives ( like cousins aunt and uncle )

[loveitgirl]

With the whole event vs. people debate, while I do understand what Farina is saying about the beauty of the event for the people being married, I feel like the moment is even more beautiful when everyone you love is there. Being married is an important milestone that a lot of people wouldn't want to miss. Of course, it's your guys's choice! I'm just a random stranger putting my opinion out there hehe. I wish you luck in your wedding planning!

[Chanzeteria]

I agree with Dongin that people being there is more important than the venue/food. I mean at the end of the day it’s about marrying the person you love and being with the people who love you. Like he said, you guys may find ways to cut costs so it can stay within your budget. It’s just my opinion though. As long as you’re both happy that’s all that matters.

I love this, I love you guys! 😍😍
As a professional wedding planner (in the States) I would love to give you my favorite tips I give my close friends and family when they start the wedding planning process:

- Don’t listen to anybody else’s opinions/ideas about your wedding besides your fiancé

-Secure a venue FIRST. Because everything else is determined on the venue. Sometimes even the date of your wedding

-Absolutely get a good wedding planner. Not only will they make your life way easier through this process but it’s essential for the rest of your vendors to have only one point of contact for your event

- You don’t have to do “The Show” all at once. You can always get legally married this year, then do the ceremony and reception next year

-Lastly don’t stress. You’re marring the love of your love. And this will be another happy moment to make in a lifetime of joy and love 🥰🥰

I hope this helps!!

Well, it's important to be flexible because this wedding is for both of you. Take into consideration what each other wants. Also, in my opinion, the memories are created by a good atmosphere and the presence of friends and family, not solely by the food and venue.

[giovannapadilha]

I believe some people are being a bit harsh bc farina thinks the venue is more important, but by the end they even saw a place that would fit the number of people dongin needs and also fullfils the event that farina dreams of. Guys, I'm here for you! I really love how you both can say whatever you want without arguing and then comencing from that point

[lottat]

My best tip is to make it SIMPLE and CHEAP so you can invite all the ppl you want. Dare to be unconventional! Don't be too attached to the venue or location. It may stress you out and cause conflicts. It's all about having a nice party with ppl you love. Remember that... 😅💖

Let your family and friends contribute to the wedding in stead of giving you unnecessary gifts. You don't need a wedding planner if you make it that simple. 😅

[nataliewilliam]

family and friends are important in events like that with them and having fun with the people you love is the thing that makes it memorable and a big event in your life

[deeslifeuncut]

Aghhhh I wanna see you guys as a married couple the soonest 🥹❤

[Hetsupshut]

Farina, I understand that you have a vision for the wedding but please don't let Dongin not have all of his special people there even if it is 50. I mean, if he's saying he's close with them all, then he is. If he is willing to pay, then go through with it. A wedding is a life changing moment and definitely a familial included event. Your guy's cultures are different and the way weddings happen are different so please be open and flexible with that in mind. Maybe you guys can split tasks like he deals with the guest count and you deal with the aesthetic of the venue (decor)? Best of luck planning and congrats again on your engagement!

Fariniii 💖💕 I wanna make you smile today, so I'll leave a compliment here. Your beautiful heart is truly outstanding. You value integrity, have so much love and compassion not only for fellow humans but also for animals, are protective of everything you love, and above all, you are so genuinely sweet. You makes so many people so infinitely happy. 💖💕 Also your outfit with the Louis V bandeau? Showstopping!
(on another note, I agree about the wedding planner. There's just so much to think about, a professional would be really helpful I think)

[virajarane]

i agree with dongin here, ofc the food and location is important but the people are more important. after many years you will remember the memories made with the guests and the fun you had not the food. u should get a wedding planner, doing everything yourself is stressful

[Iheartpanda_mama]

Wedding planning is hard. I would keep in mind, you don’t want to have any regrets bc you will only get married onetime. Yes, you could have another one to renew your vows. But there’s 1 first wedding. So plan the wedding you both can work with. No matter what, it’s both your wedding day and you both should be happy with the venue and those attending. Can’t wait to see your journey ❤

[carlottabrambilla]

Wow I'm Italian and I'm so happy to see that you guys are spending your time happily; by the way Farina your italian is so good, I've to congratulate you 🤩

[giovannapadilha]

But I am honestly so excited for your wedding guys! And it feels even more real with actually starting looking vanues and what are the things the you'll have to compromise, and the things that each absolutely won't compromise. I think this will be a beautiful journey, and, if you allows us, I'd love to see how things will go

[epiphadipity]

i agree with dongin, as an asian, your closest family can literally make up 20 people 😅 10 spaces for family is definitely not enough…. i think maybe a good compromise would be to have a super intimate wedding at the perfect venue with the perfect food, but then also have a second celebration with a bigger circle of family and friends!

Nachdem mein Mann und ich unsere Hochzeit alleine geplant haben hier ein paar Tipps 😊
1. Es ist EURE Hochzeit und sie muss nur euch alleine gefallen!
Wie haben una am Anfang etwas gezwungen gefühlt einige Leute einzuladen und wir waren so froh, es am Ende nicht getan zu haben. Vor allem haben wir Unruhestifter nicht eingeladen. Niemand möchte schlechte Stimmung an dem Tag.
2. Überlegt wer kommen soll und sucht dann direkt eine passende Location. Bei uns war es sogar so, dass die Veranstalter auch einen DJ, Blumenladen und Bäcker, sowie das Restaurant als Bundle hatten. Dadurch mussten wir nicht viel anderes suchen.
Denkt auch dran, dass wenn die Leute da übernachten sollen das auch möglich ist (vllt. auch für Leute die ein kleines Gehalt haben).
3. Sobald ihr einen Tag habt geht direkt zum Standesamt dort. Bzw. Macht einen Termin. Wir waren etwas spät und dadurch war unsere Trauung statt 13 Uhr wie wir es gern wollten schon um 10.30 Uhr (das war super doof, weil man nicht ausschlafen konnte, zwecks Friseur und Stylistin...) Der Tag war dadurch viel zu lang und wir waren um 0 Uhr schon mehr als durch.
4. Lasst euch von Trauzeugen helfen, wenn ihr sowas möchtet. Unsere waren einfach top und haben so viele tolle Spiele (Schuhspiel) organisiert und dafür gesorgt, dass sich jeder ins Gästebuch einträgt.

Wir sind ohne Hochzeitsplaner sehr sehr gut ausgekommen und noch jetzt bekommen wir immer wieder Komplimente:). Wenn man das Geld übrig hat dann klar, aber es geht auch so, wenn man z.b. nur die richtige Location hat. Bei uns gab es z.B. alles vor Ort. (Stühl, usw.)
