It's even more helpful because Bailey and I experienced different things so you'll get to see two different perspectives on it all!

Me rushing to see this even tho I don’t plan on getting married for another decade:

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.

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

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 🥺

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?

[sydneylarsen]

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❤

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

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~

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 💕

[brittmcgowan]

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!

[scoutpowell]

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 :)

[marissarogers]

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

[haileynorman]

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!

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.

[courtneysmith]

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.

[laurahindle]

love the way Bailey listens and is so attentive to Brooklyn <3

[shardyway]

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.

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.

[haleyg]

I don’t know what it is about Bailey but she’s glowing in this video! ❤
