We have like nothing ready We haven't even booked the venue yet. Okay. He's lying It's just the vendor stuff will go into that and we have not mentioned our wedding date We mentioned the month we're gonna be telling you guys in this video somewhere out throughout this video That you can find our actual wedding is happening because I just want to tell you guys already like we've been keeping it a secret for a while But I kind of want to get you guys hyped you guys have been guessing it all over our social media Crazy, this is actually insane like we've been talking about our wedding for like almost half a year now and it's here Like I lost it out just to get you a reference this time last year I was planning the proposal and if you didn't watch that video makes you go check that out I proposed it Hawaii. It was absolutely beautiful and amazing and Mariah had no idea about that So make sure to go check out those videos after this, but I think we haven't done a video like this We want to give you everything wedding I wanted to just give you guys an updated thing except the glass how we talked to you guys in the beginning Yeah, it was like right when everything was starting now We kind of have like a feel for how everything's been going Yeah, there's a lot of questions that we missed that you guys are wondering and asking about our wedding and everything So this will hopefully clear the air out. We're gonna try to answer as much as we can Yeah, so I do have a first question which I keep seeing everywhere I see this all over is will you be filming your wedding your bachelorette and the actual day like we've been filming like everything Oh like vlogging. Yes. Yes. We will be filming our entire wedding you guys We're gonna have so much wedding content. Yeah ridiculous down to like obviously we already filmed her getting her wedding dress We didn't show the dress obviously yeah, but she's already filmed that I am hoping I'm playing on filming the bachelor. She already has a bunch of stuff She's planning for the bachelorette, which is all done planning which I'll be all explain to you guys But I also want to do like I got bill a very very very special wedding gift that I really want to document and just make it All for one video and obviously Whatever you get me, but what I got him is so special that I it just has to be a video alone like it It's crazy. Yeah, but yeah guys the wedding gift is absolutely insane I'm just so excited because without you guys I wouldn't have been able to get you this like it's crazy You know you can't say it's crazy cuz you don't even know what I'm saying I know it's probably crazy cuz you've never been like this with any surprise like this is how I was feeling when I was like I don't know. I just I just feel like this is huge I guess I'm gonna see you're getting my hopes up talking about it Okay, also about the bachelorette and the bachelor parties They want to know if we're gonna be combining them or they're gonna be separate So we are separating them his is actually gonna be the weekend before the wedding Yeah, and that hers is gonna be the weekdays before the wedding. He's gonna be going to Key West I'm gonna be going to my am with my girls. I'm so excited guys. It's really gonna be like a Barbie dream house That's all I gotta say it's literally gonna be insane And we're gonna show you guys every there's gonna be so many people here It's gonna be crazy like all of our family like while we're gone. Our house is still gonna be full like while we're gone They're still gonna be like like half our family staying here So like our house is not even gonna be empty like we're literally gonna be like in a totally different part of the Well build my stuff ox you guys know about our Airbnb We had it booked out for our family to stay there and no we didn't someone ended up booking that same weekend So it's okay. No, it's not. It's an L for my family No, it's not because they're just gonna have to stay here now, which is no big deal Now they can we're not even gonna be here. So there's no point of having the house empty Yeah, so now at least this house will be like used while we're gone Yeah, so it's gonna be a K odd if we could there's so much going on No, like really from that Friday to the wedding day Friday busy. It's already been busy now It's gonna be even more and more busy. I hope my anxiety is okay I don't I'm already feeling like if you if you're gonna have anxiety like you had in the last video with trying all the fall menu items You better not drink caffeine that day All I know is we're doing a lot of IV therapy Because it's the winter time like I don't want to get sick, you know Yeah, so we got to get up on our vitamin C The next question is are you doing a first look? We went back and forth with this a lot with what our wedding girl we asked a bunch of people Yeah, and honestly for me my dream was to always have Bill see me walking on the aisle Yeah, so we were gonna do a first look is what you were saying and we decided not to because then they were like Oh, is that gonna take away from like me coming down the aisle and seeing you and this and that and like obviously it definitely will Yeah, so we're going to do the regular But we're gonna do the first touch. Oh, yeah, we'll touch all right like hands and I want to maybe like read like Something to each other and like be holding hands. I think that would be you and we'll also do like we'll add that into a video I don't know if we're gonna do a dedicated video on that But it'll be in a video somewhere at least where we are gonna be doing a first touch and before we even see each other We still got a plan like our timelines like what we want to film what we want to post first second There's so much content that you gotta like organize it, right? So just stay tuned. There's gonna be so much But I literally can't wait like it's gonna be a dream Mm-hmm next question is which I feel like is a really good one Which I don't know if you want to answer this but how much is your budget slash your spending for the wedding? I feel like planning this way like planning weddings in general you always have like a ballpark number and We weren't trying to do anything crazy You know we wanted to be an amazing wedding and we don't want to cut corners But we didn't want to go crazy and I what the average wedding these days like our wedding planner said the average weddings around like 50 grand Right, which is a lot of money for a wedding in general. It's a party essentially Yeah, but at the end of the day like it goes by fast like you have the venue and then you're like, okay We're good. You know the venue is whatever, but then you don't realize what I never realized how much goes into it floral and then you have a DJ or a band if you wanted and then you have Photographer then you have videographer and then all the different packages that they offer and then you have vendors Which could be a picture booth. It could be a gelato stand. It could be a champagne It could be a 360 you know one of those video booths thing I feel like I'm missing stuff your wedding invitations Bridal shower and your bachelor. Yeah, my bachelor party. Oh bachelorette your engagement party the bridal shower Yeah, that's what you're saying. Yeah, so I know it might be like stressful by me explaining it that way And I love the planning every single second don't make this thing where we're trying to stress anyone out But this is like the wedding planning is so much fun, but it is also very stressful But it's watching everything come together. Oh, yeah, it's awesome. Like our wedding planner She showed us like her on the vision board. Oh my gosh And wedding planner you have to pay for a wedding planner and wedding planner definitely do it though Like you're not gonna have yeah in the day of coordinator if you're not gonna have like someone do it I know a lot of people's like mothers do it or grandmothers like some people are just like crazy in love with the wedding planning process If you want to do it if someone's do it like go ahead. It's just nice to have guidance and someone that really Yeah, this is our first time like I learned so much about weddings I feel so educated now because I feel like and I'm still learning every single day Like there's new things that come and pop up like oh like little like table plates and all these little things like so many Oh, yeah, that's another thing another add-on. What you know exactly what you do Like there's so many things that you can add or not But let me just say we are over the $50,000 budget That we originally thought was gonna be a thing where we're well past that but here's the thing I know a lot of people want a big wedding and I know a lot of people want a small wedding I also know a lot of people don't want a wedding at all and they want to put all that money into like their first house Starting their life, you know starting a career business I totally respect any way that like y'all want to put that money towards because at the end of the day like your wedding is only One day, you know what I mean, but for us me MRI mutually we always wanted that big wedding Yeah, we just I've always driven this since I was little so it's like I wanted to be everything that I imagined So it's coming together. It's very us. It's crazy to think like it's a lot But it's not if you think about like an average car is like 40 grand now. Yeah, I mean so like essentially, you know I'm not like, you know angry at that at all. I feel like it's like for what we're doing. Oh wait We also included our honeymoon into the wedding. That's why it also But next question which is really exciting because I don't know if we've talked about this But did Bill buy any wedding suit or not yet? Oh Am I just gonna be doing all the talking for this next well do that Yeah, I actually just got a call yesterday or two days ago that my suit that I customly ordered So I was gonna do a rental because like I don't really like you know I didn't know a lot about it, but they don't have a lot of decisions in rentals Yeah, what we wanted needed to be yeah, you gotta you got to do a custom suit if you want to do anything so now I'm getting a custom suit made and it's actually at the Place that we ordered from and it's ready for me to come in and get fitted for my last fitting And then I can I think they takes like a couple days, and then I can just take it. Well, that's like me I'm going home to Chicago, and I'm actually going to getting my wedding dress altered. So it's so funny I'm getting my wedding dress. I'm excited. We didn't even add the wedding dress and the suit into the expanse So yeah, there's a lot fun to keep it tally I don't want to tell you guys the color that he's doing so kind of want to be surprised Honestly, I think you guys probably will expect the color Yeah, but comment down below you guys think his suits gonna look like it's everything that we wanted And the reason we follow this is because Bill's mom and dad did this I was just about to say my dad he wore the certain suit this certain color and Obviously, okay, it's not black. Let me just say that cuz growing up I think a lot of weddings did like the normal black suit, which is nothing wrong with that I didn't know my dad wore this suit or I wasn't like, you know paying attention until Maybe a year ago when I proposed or maybe when I was gonna propose my mom showed me and I'm like She's like you should totally do that. I look so good. Yeah, no Especially when it goes along with your dress because I was gonna do black then I was like actually no like I I want bright I want elegant. I want light. It just makes the photos look better. Like wait trying it on It's just gonna make everything just look so nice and flow good And I totally recommend like take inspo from whatever we're doing because if you like it like We would love to see Any of y'all taking spoke one night is about to be lit Anyways another good question is are you and Bill separating it for the wedding and if we're at so we are gonna be separating The night before The girls have their Airbnb I was gonna say I was like the night before the night before the girls have their own every mean the guys have their own And then I won't see him literally until I walk down the aisle Take a quick trip to Vegas Make it a hangover part for show up just before the ceremony in a boat or something In a helicopter with a tattoo on my face. Oh, come on. I'll be pretty cool Okay, this is actually a really good one. So what's your first dance? I was just gonna say that but listen I'm not gonna tell you guys our first dance song. It was I think we said in the past It was from Bozzi now we got a different one switch But I want to tell you guys which I really could tell you guys, but I want to tell you this So me and Bill are actually next month starting our dance lessons for our wedding We're gonna do something very elegant and different. We didn't want to do some simple slow dance Like we wanted something like we want something to look nicer than me and Mariah Just kind of like you know because I don't know how to dance. I don't know I dance either So this is gonna be new yeah I mean he hit him and his mom took dance lessons and he came home He looked like the lead the guy's like He was leading me so good I didn't even like I feel like I already knew the dance like you've led me very a lot of it It's just like following the leader confidence in the other person. So we're gonna be doing a dance So stay tuned so stay tuned and we're not gonna announce a song until you guys see the videos Remember the date that we mentioned in this video, which we're going to in a minute You guys are probably gonna see the wedding content I would say like at least three weeks after yeah, because it's gonna take yeah takes a while to edit everything You'll probably see before the video and in the video will probably yeah It's gonna take we expedited the photos the videos everything because we want it like as soon as possible Because we want to see the video and we want to show you the video we would we want to watch with all these I don't want to keep you guys waiting on like tiktok and Instagram I got want to show you guys the photos and stuff. So make sure to follow us on Instagram right now So you're ready and waiting Whatever posts we make before that and for our wedding content. Oh, you will not miss anything Instagram oh and by the way also for our videography like part of the package was like we're getting like cool Drone footage they're gonna have like a bunch of people filming all different angles her getting ready me getting ready Like it's gonna be beautiful. Oh my god. We're reading through everything and we're just like I can't wait I can envision the video can't you oh I can envision it. I can envision it But like obviously I haven't seen it yet. So yeah, I just I wonder how it's gonna be Or what like music they're gonna use It's gonna be just like oh because our proposal videos insane and this is gonna be ten times better And we're paying like way more for this video too. So this is not really wedding But kind of wedding are you guys gonna move into a house as soon as you guys get married? So we're actually are living in a house. Yeah, so we own this house for almost two and a half years Move to Florida in 2021 if you guys follow us on our social medias We talk about all the time or we I think we talked about on this channel, too We are wanting to move into our our next home Like the home that we're gonna have kids in this home. We love and I'm gonna hate like I don't want to put I don't want to say that we're leaving but like I'm gonna hate leaving this house I Freaking love this house. We need more space. We need more storage space Mariah is not only taken up just about our whole closet But also the guest rooms closet and the guest room stressor and we have no space in our like garage The attic here is super tiny and we don't have basements. Yeah, so we going back to the question We're hoping to find a home within the next year if we find one earlier Like we might move earlier if there's just like a good price and perfect home.

Oh, yeah, and like it rolls off your tongue good Oh, yeah guys, we have been keeping that a secret for so long. It's been so hard I feel like there's so many times I want to slip and tell you guys We've said it a lot of times on accident. We've had to like cut it out Yeah, because like not that we didn't want to tell you but we weren't totally ready to say anything The only people that knew this before was like our family. Yeah, that's it. Yeah a lot of family No, wait, we didn't even send our invites yet So but people with the same the dates let's the same today Yeah, we so that those are the only people that knew actually what the day was yeah y'all are our family y'all are our second family and We want to share like all the inside of what's going on And also if you have any wedding questions if you're confused about some things or if you're planning on getting married or You know you want to get married in the future like comment them below because like we are getting a lot of insight now That we've been looking into all the wedding stuff and planning We kind of have like a good direction on like how to do it But you guys make sure you put the date in your calendar and freaking get ready because it's gonna come so quick Down on all of our insta's and our YouTube and tiktok or whatever on that day And you know if you want to comment something nice, you know, I feel like it'll it'll definitely will be nervous So please like if y'all can put that in your calendar and on those dates like comment on our On our socials that don't mean the world. We're gonna be nervous that week before it would be insane But I thought we're gonna be so surrounded by everyone that's gonna distract us a little bit Yeah, but still like come on your wedding day like you know, it's gonna be like you're you're gonna be anxious Oh my gosh, this is the day that like we've been planning for over a year every day Like there's not one day that we don't think about our way. No for real. It's crazy. Every single day I'm always thinking about it. I go to sleep thinking about it. It's just it's crazy I do have one more question that I want to answer this question is are you guys including your cats? So obviously we can't actually bring our cats to the wedding. We have three cats Yeah But we do have something that we're planning on Incorporating them in within yeah So they're gonna be here with our family and stuff or whoever's like staying here But when we go down to our wedding, we're not going to be bringing them because like we're not gonna be like I don't want to like have to worry about where they're at Who's taking care of them if they're getting fed if they're missing if they're like it's just like they're our babies So we're gonna you know keep them safe here incorporate them in some other way like as a part of our way There's something that we're in the works of doing and like incorporating like their names and stuff Yeah, and it's just to add them because obviously we want them. They're like a part of our family. Yeah, they are There are little like kids So no, they won't be coming to the wedding. They won't be doing any of that Which I wish I could have like because we don't have a ring bearer yet I really wish we could have like snappers guard Ryan wanted to have them come down the aisle and Be the ring bearer. I'm like I'm trying to think like there's nothing like I mean Yeah, you could train a cat to that but the only way it would work is if you put a harness on and you had a String go from one end of the aisle down to us and they couldn't run anywhere except straight on this Skittish yeah, so it's like it's always it would definitely work. Oh, yeah, but it's just harder to do it with cats Unfortunately, but yeah, so I think I feel like there's so much more. I want to talk to you guys about Oh, there's always gonna be more I'd be sitting here for like hours because this is basically the sum of everything though Yeah, I think so I think we covered a lot of ground if you have any more questions comment down below if we see your comments Like we'll definitely respond back and like I said if you have any questions regarding the wedding or if you want to you know Just comment anything nice I want to go through the comments and like read all them because like I'm really curious on what you guys think and I feel Like we've been kicking butt with the wedding process like it's so fun at the end of it It is a lot but like it's just like a blast because we're doing it with like each other You know life long partners right here. Okay? My buddy is my best friend my best friend my best friend best friend since we used to work at Mariano's Now as a cashier and you were a bagger. It's so crazy how it all started. We've been dating for like Six and a half six and a half so crazy feels like yesterday. It honestly does But February 23rd 2024 is our wedding date, so make sure you guys will put that in your case crazy to say now Like I feel like it's like I'm trying to hide it, but like I don't we don't have to Only secret we've ever kept for you guys Oh, yeah, I had to that was horrible for me I had to keep it secret for six months prior to that from you I would do all of that, but yeah But we hope you guys enjoyed today's video see you in the next one, but until then
