 to our channel. We are officially four weeks until the wedding. We are gonna be walking down the aisle. Y'all don't understand this, in four weeks. Okay? We have been counting down the days and I just can't believe it's already four weeks away. We have to make sure everything is in line. We have to make sure our vows are written. We have to make sure the nerves are out. We have to make sure that, yeah, the nerves are definitely not gonna be out. But we gotta make sure that every single piece to this puzzle, okay, we have a hundred plus different pieces to this wedding puzzle, comes together on one day at one time between 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. Yeah, pretty much. All day we have to make sure it goes right and we're freaking out. We're freaking out. February 23rd is gonna be the day. Everything changes. What day is today? 20 seconds. So you guys are gonna be seeing this the 24th. That means we have less than a month by the time that you see this video. Oh my God! So we really are under four weeks right now as you're seeing this. I don't know what to do. This is something that you think about and you're like, oh my gosh, we're getting married. And it's like, we're a year away. We're eight months away. We're five months away. But no, this is literally like three weeks and like six days. We asked you guys on Instagram to ask us everything wedding speech. You guys follow us on Instagram so you guys can be a part of all of the questions that we do answer. Yeah, if you've never watched any of our videos before, first of all, welcome. Second of all, we literally ask all of our questions on our YouTube video on our Instagram for y'all to answer. And these are legit from you right now. So I keep seeing these, this question, but it was what are you guys doing for your honeymoon, the destination? Have we ever, we said it, right? I think we did. We definitely did. We had to have. Do you want to tell them? Do you want to tell them? Okay. So I'm going to say one thing and you tell me if we should say a location. We're pretty much staying over the water on a bungalow. Should we say the location? Have we said it? I don't even know if we have. I feel like, we all know. I don't know if we have So I don't think, I don't think. All right. Then I guess this is everything. Everything's changing. So in this video for all of y'all watching, how about we just say it for the viewers that are watching right now. All right. We are going to be staying in Jamaica on an over water bungalow type of hotel room. Yeah. So it's like private. It's like our own bungalow. We wanted to go to the Maldives, but it's a 30 hour flight. And for me, that just makes me really anxious and gives me anxiety. We've been saying this for years. Like Mariah's always wanted to go to the Maldives. Like the Maldives was like the place to go. And it was her dream location for a year. It's like we've said it in so many videos years ago. That was the dream. But then she was like, you know what? I didn't even realize Jamaica has the exact same thing. And it's only like what, four hour flight? Five hour flight. Five hour flight compared to a 30 hour flight. Like I know nothing can at the end of the day beat the Maldives. Like if that's what you dream. But this is like, I feel like next best thing, like 80% of what the Maldives is. Like I'm going to be so happy with this. And like the hotel resort is like newer. It's like off of Sandals, Jamaica, which is like the best like touristy honeymoony area. We wanted this one bungalow, but if you guys don't know this, things book out geared advance. Like this bungalow that we originally wanted was booked out. So I had to get like this next best one, which is still huge. We booked this in March of last year. But like even the top tier ones were booked. And we were limited. Like literally there were only a few left. And that was a year ago. And that's when we booked it. That's crazy. This bungalow is beautiful no matter what. Well actually, I mean, it kind of makes sense that they're booked out a year in advance because usually people that get engaged book it for a year later. So like, I feel like that makes sense. And I feel like you're not just going to stay there for fun most of the time. It's for a big thing. Like an engagement or a celebration anniversary, something like that. So what color are your bridesmaids, groomsmen? And if there was something you had to change, would you change it? This is first. This is first. Y'all are going to hear this. This is super, super big news. So listen up this next two minutes of talking. I'm going to start with mine. It's my simple. All my groomsmen are going to be, they're going to be in like a light gray nice suit with a pink bow tie and brown shoes. I'm going to be in, we can't tell you mine, but I'm going to be in brown shoes as well to match all the groomsmen because that goes so well with light gray. Here's where it gets more complicated because Mariah had it and she'll explain everything to her side. What's been going on? This is like reason. This is in the past like week. Week, yeah. So I am doing a blush pink, which is something I've turned up my whole life. My favorite color has always been pink. Going to be beautiful. And it complements the light gray groomsmen so much. And it complements our vibe and the scenery and the look of it all. And the pastely like flavor of the venue because the venue is super pastely, right? We're very bright people. Like we like bright, we like... As you can see, there's nothing really dark in our house except the dark colors. I do like black accents in houses. Like everything like that, like our next home. Yeah, like white with black accent. Here is like a white with gray and silver. All right, we're going off to Kendrick. Pretty much I had a couple of days to go to my mom where I was like, oh babe, I really wish we did a black and white wedding. I wish we had our groomsmen and bright manes in black and yeah. So everybody be in black and then we would be in white. Or I would still be in black, but I would have a white shirt. No, I feel like I would still want you and I'm not, yeah. We're not going to... All right, all right, all right. I don't think you would want mine. But that's the dilemma that's going on. So that's the dilemma that's been going on. I am planning to incorporate the black and white theme for rehearsal, which will honestly be really good. And my morning outfits that I got my bridesmaids are in black. So at least I'll still incorporate that. It'll be like a little different style. Then you'll get a lot of, I'm sure photos up there and then you can post like those style. But the main theme is still, we're still keeping the flush pink and light gray. Which I'm very, very, very, very, very, very happy. Especially with all the whites or like the flowers that we're doing and the greenery that's all around. It's going to look amazing. That's the only thing that if I could change I would. But like at the same time, like I'm still incorporating it. I love that art. It's different though, you know, it's just, it's still very beautiful. To me, I kind of like the pictures of the pink and gray better than the black on white. For me- I just feel like we've popped more with the black, but. We would definitely pop more. But to me, it's like, I think it looks good, but I think the pictures look a lot more developed and like boom and beautiful with the lighter colors. That's just my, that's my personal- No, I agree, I agree. Either way, it's going to be amazing. But that's been our dilemma. I'm sure y'all can understand, like with all the stresses of everything coming together within the next four weeks, like this is the time that I'm not, Okay, skip that. Talk about your wedding dress, Brooklyn. This is second dilemma within the last week. I swear to God. This is the pressure that's like- It is the pressure because you start overthinking everything. I think it's over the- Listen, I don't feel like this way anymore. I was, no, I'm done. I was having a dilemma, which I was thinking like, oh, I wish I had picked a different wedding dress. But, but I don't feel like that anymore. This dress is so crazy. Like this dress is literally everything. I can't even put to a T, like this dress is like freaking fairy tale. That's all I gotta say. It looks amazing. You know what it looks like. I'm kidding, I know it's so- So no, I don't have it allowed about my dress anymore. I know in my heart, I picked it for a reason. I just think when the wedding starts to come, you start to like overthink everything. Oh my God, should I have picked something else? Should I have done this? That's why I'm overthinking, should I have done a black and white wedding? Like it's not that I want to do that. It's your mind starts to play tricks on me. I told her for the second wedding, she can do it. Yeah. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Or a renewal of the vows. We can do that. We're doing a whole new wedding for that? Like 10 years old? No, not like an actual, it's just like renewing your vows. But at the end of the day, she is sticking with her wedding dress in. I already know it's going to be amazing. No, this dress you guys- I already have like, I don't have an image of what I think it's going to look like, but I know what it's not going to look like. What do you think it's not going to look like? Okay, I just want to say, because when I saw you bringing the bag, when we were packing the wedding dress bag, this dress is like super, it seemed like it was super big. Even though it was flat in the bag, it seemed like it was super big. So I feel like it's going to be a bigger dress. That is my opinion. I am not saying it's not a slim fit. Yeah, but it was double packed in my bag. I just want to say, I'm not going to hide anything. I'm not thinking about it in my head, but when we were packing it up to get into the suitcase, I was like, damn, this is a lot of material. I wonder if it's going to be like a big dress. But at the end of the day, I still don't know what it's going to look like. It could come out pink for all I know. It's not going to be pink. It's not going to be pink. It better not be pink. So no, I'm not over thinking my dress. Love my dress. My dress is literally perfect. I'm excited. Okay. Are you guys going to sleep in the same house the night before the wedding? No. No, we're not. So the bridesmaids have their own Airbnb and the groomsmen have their own Airbnb. So the guys will always have it. Isn't that crazy? We're not going to see each other until the morning of, am I going to see you the morning of? I'm not going to see you until the aisle. Oh! Yo, what the hell? Back out. If you watch Too Much Love is Blind and- What about you show up? Bro, isn't your sweet? Oh no, yours is not on the opposite side. My sweet, where the guys are going to be chilling upstairs, faces where we're getting married. So I can see everything. I was going to say, what about you? You didn't see me up there. You just saw me peel away. I'm like, I like it. Can you start to feel anxious because my, I drink too much Elani, I don't drink. She gets too much caffeine in there. No, I did. I started to get cuckoo and I'm like, am I, I feel like. No, I'm not going to back out the fricking wedding. I know. I don't know that. But yes, I am not going to be seeing this girl until the aisle. So crazy. And I'm probably going to see her in the morning of the day before, but like the whole rest of the day I'm just going to be hanging out, getting wasted and hung over for the wedding. Failed. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm going to save that for the actual ceremony. Yeah, I'd be so mad if he was drunk. I told him. Yo. I'm at the end of the episode. What about, what about you're getting ready? What about you're getting ready, putting on your wedding makeup, getting your hair done. And all of a sudden you just hear shots, shots, shots, shots, like downstairs. And it's just all of us like, shots, yeah, go Phil do a kickstand. You know, we're just like, I know, I'm just kidding. I would never do that. I just think it's super funny cause like she's been tweaking that I'm going to do. I'm not going to drink. I'm not going to drink. The group you are with. I'm not going to drink. I promise if I drink, it's going to be one drink and even one drink. I weigh 200 pounds. It's not going to be hard. All right, all right, all right. The next question. What do the wedding bands look like? Do you want to grab the wedding bands? Where are they at? In the safe? Yes. I'm going to talk to them. We'll be right back. So I do regret the wedding band that I did get, which is crazy. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I got you the first one. Okay, the first. You regret mine? Okay, no I don't regret. I didn't pick the first one. So the first wedding band that I got came with the spring and it was like, it matched it perfectly. Love it, pretty. But I wanted more. So when I went to go get, pick out my wedding band, I regret not getting the eternity band, which it goes all the way around like the documents go all the way around. And I realized the ring that I got was the same price as the eternity band. And I didn't realize, and everyone's like, make sure you get an eternity band. Make sure you get an eternity band. Cause it like, when it like rotates, you don't have to worry about it. Like having to adjust it. I might change my wedding band before the wedding. I don't know yet. I'm kind of waiting to hear from this company. But I do still love my wedding band. It's still very beautiful. It's perfect. I just wish it wrapped all the way around. That's the only thing I would switch on it. But I do take my rings off when I go to bed, when I shower, when I go to the gym. So like, my ring was technically not on me all day long. So I don't really think it would turn as much. All right, I am finally back. So we have two, you already explained. Yeah, I have two. And I told them I wish I had an eternity band. But this was still beautiful. No, it is. And I was telling them that the eternity band was the same price as the other one. And I realized it. I do really like that one too. This one's just cute. Oh, I put it next to it. Okay, show them, show them. This one came with the ring. All right, so this is my original band. This matches the ring to the tee. This is identical diamond pattern as the ring, identical size, identical width, identical everything. If you did watch our engagement videos or everything, I think I showed you this. If you did not, make sure to go watch them because they're amazing. But this is what it looks like. It's hard to see in the camera, but y'all can get the, look how beautiful that is. It is beautiful. Let me try it on. This is what that band looks like. All right, take it off. You're not supposed to put it on yet. No, I just want to show. I know, take it off now. Okay, that's what it looks like. I want to show them so they can decide which one they like. All right, let's try the other one. Show them the other one. Now this beautiful one you're going to see is a lot bigger diamonds. It doesn't match exactly to her ring, but it's freaking gorgeous. It is gorgeous. It's the one that she wishes she got it to go all the way around because this, most of them only go halfway because it sits on your finger and you don't even see the bottom and it kind of sometimes irritates your finger. It also depends on personal preference. That one looks beautiful. That one's so beautiful. Damn. So those are the two different types. One is a little smaller than the other. I'll probably still wear this band still. Yeah. And like wear it on like this hand or something. That looks beautiful. Is it that big of a deal to not have it go around? No. It really doesn't matter. Because it matches your other ring as well. I mean, the future, we can get another one. I mean, it's also up to you and what you like. Do we show mine or not? Yeah, let's show yours. So mine, it's like a black ring and it's so freaking cool. I need to make sure it fits still okay. I wish you kind of got like a silver one to match me, like with diamonds on it, like a silver one. Yeah, but I don't really ever wear silver rings. Which ones? This is what mine looks like. I know it's hard to see because it's darker, but it has like a decal on it. You can kind of see there's like slits in it. And mine like has like, it goes between gloss black and matte black. But those are, mine think I, I think mine's made out of tungsten carbine if you're wondering. How did you know that? Because it says it on here. Oh. Tungsten carbine. But yeah, those are our wedding bands as of right now. I love it. I think they're beautiful. And you're not supposed to put them on until the actual wedding. No. This is gonna be the thing that the person hands me and it's like, you may place the ring on our finger and it's gonna be like that, but. Yeah. That's a really beautiful ring though. All right, that's the last time you're seeing it. We haven't taken these out in like months. No, we haven't. Next question is, how many guests are you guys having? Oh, this is a good one because we actually just got the final. Yeah, and I finally just did the CD charts. Yes, you guys also asked if we're having like assigned seats for the reception. So we have about 120 guests coming. And that is huge. I'm actually shocked about because our wedding is pretty much a destination wedding. And remember, we're originally from Chicago. And if you did not know that, like all of our family lives in Chicago. So like we have few people out here. We have like 20 people out here that are just like family and friends that we know from Florida, but like none compared to like Chicago. So we thought we were gonna only have like maybe 75 people. Turns out we have like 120 coming. So this is actually gonna be like an awesome wedding. And also our seating chart, you guys have no idea what we have in store. Like what we're doing. Oh, for the seating chart? Yeah. Oh, you're talking about the, like the wall thing? Yeah, the thing, this thing is so dope. So it's gonna be like when people go to see where their assigned seat is. Yes, there are assigned seats because it's just easier people knowing where they're going rather than on the day of they're like all like confused and stuff. It is so cool. The place where they go to see, they get to do something at the same time. And it's like, it's so unique and it's so cool. We literally like saw this within the first month of deciding what we wanted for our wedding with our wedding planner. And it was just like, we're actually doing it. It's actually gonna be awesome. It's beautiful. I'm excited. We're also have so many cool vendors. We're doing like cotton candy, gelato, permanent jewelry. We got a DJ going up there. We have a saxophone player that's playing during cocktail. Or we just met saxophone guys for years. Oh my God. We met this saxophone dude at a nice restaurant in Naples like what a year ago plus. And he actually, we just hired him for our cocktail hour at our wedding. He's gonna be awesome. He goes around playing saxophone and he's so good at it. And then we have like a live painter that's gonna be like painting people. Like I know there's things when people sit down, they paint, no this person's like actually painting while you're doing your own thing. Like they'll look at you and they'll start painting. It's so cool. We have so many fun vendors that are gonna be there. It's just crazy how it's all coming together. Like it's excited. We're in the middle of like finalizing everything. But like that's just like a little sneak peek of what y'all are gonna be seeing on our videos soon. So make sure if you are not subscribed to our channel, make sure to subscribe so you're ready and waiting for those wedding content videos to come out because they're gonna be amazing. And also turn on your post notifications so you get notified right away. I'm excited. Okay, so I know many of you guys have asked this as well. Are we doing a first touch? Are we doing a first look? So we have decided we are doing a first touch. And it's funny because we were going to not do a first look. And then we were like, let's do a first look. And now we're like, we're not doing a first look. But we like went back and forth a few months ago. The thing is I've always dreamed of Bill seeing me for the first time walking down the aisle. And there is a reason why I want him to see me for the first time walking down the aisle. The entrance and the grand entrance that I have coming out of the venue is insane. Well, it's also because like we wanted to take all of our pictures before, right? That's why we were gonna do the first look. If we did the first look, we were able to get all the pictures over with before the ceremony. But we moved our ceremony earlier. So we could get pictures after. Because if we would have done a later ceremony, the sun sets at like 5.36 and it's just whatever. Yeah, in February out here, it's like sets way earlier. So we have to make sure to get the photos. And photos will look beautiful because not only will it be daytime, it'll be like sunsetty daytime. So if the sky is gonna look amazing, hopefully there's no clouds so we can see like all the colors and stuff. But yeah, there's a reason why you guys will see. I don't wanna give anything away just because we don't wanna share the venue or anything, I don't wanna give any hints. But there's a reason why I wanted to look and see me walking on the aisle. Yeah, because it's gonna be like grand. And it's gonna be amazing. It's a grand entrance. It's a super grand entrance. Also. It's not like skydiving, like I'm gonna come in out of snowboard, like, but it's grand for the looks. It's the looks. And the song that I'm walking down the aisle to, which is gonna make me already cry, is Can't Help Falling in Love by Hailey Stainfield. I feel like a lot, like it's originally from Elvis. Yeah, but. It's like, ah, wait, wise man. And then it's just gonna be tears coming down, everyone's crying, it's gonna be amazing. One last question I wanna answer is, are we doing a bachelor and bachelor parties? Yes. Yes. We have our own separate things. Bill's is the week before the wedding, mine is the week of the wedding. It's like super close, but it's like perfect amount of time where it's like a week before we're gonna get him. She's going out, I'm going out with all my boys and it's gonna be amazing, it's gonna be so fun. We'll probably also have videos on that as well. So we're gonna, she's gonna take a camera, I'm gonna take a camera, and we're gonna vlog the whole thing. I just wanna say too, for video purposes, we probably only will be posting once a week when it hits our wedding. So the wedding week will probably post once a week until we get our wedding video, just because I don't wanna post random videos in between, I want to get you guys hyped, but we are planning to film everything before rehearsal, our bachelor rut, bachelor, so you guys have a good time. We're still kind of saying, but it's at least gonna be once a week, okay? We don't know twice a week, but at least once a week, just because we're gonna be putting all these videos together, and then once the wedding videos come, it's just gonna be boom, boom, boom. Y'all are gonna see them all, and it's gonna be, I can't wait to see them. I'm so excited, I'm so excited. I'm not excited to give you your wedding gift. I'm excited for it all. Y'all, everything is literally changing. We hope you love this video. This is like a super, super sneak peak to everything that's been going on. I wish we could answer everything. I think we've ever went in this depth with everything, but I hope this gives you a good, like, gist. Gist of, like, what's going on. Yeah, but we are so excited. We cannot wait for you guys to be a part of this journey. We've been waiting for this for so long. And thank you so much for watching. We will see you in the next video, but until then, peace, love you guys.
