The fact that you had your wedding photo shoot by the glittering water -- and yet YOU were the most luminous, sparkly thing there -- is testament of your skill, talent, and vision. Congratulations! 😊♥️

*This is precious, you made me get choked up because you are such a darling couple.* *My first marriage I bought a $15 dress and I of course am fat, so a dear friend's mom added lace and it worked perfectly; but after 17 yrs he cheated so...* *My second marriage I thrifted a lace shirt and I used an old slip and then sewed strong but antique lace, even received some lace from a co-workers Grandma's stash onto the slip.**There is nothing more personal than having a simple handmade wedding and dress.**My eldest son officiated and my second eldest son was my "Mister of Honor," and my two younger sons stood up to give me away.**My sons wore all black and my husband wore a simple black suit with a black shirt with a reddish tie and a black Peaky Blinder hat.**We had it at a bowling alley/family fun center, in a private party room I decorated with hearts and space aliens.**We had the best time with 25 guests, the room was free if you ordered over $250 in food, then my twin paid for the food and my new Father-in-law the booze.* *We bowled and played the carnival games there, it was a blast.*

@jemiplants7344 3 года назад

Awww that's sooo cute and creative! Generally speaking, we don't really need to put thousands of money in just the gown alone. Tho I still respect people's ways on spending money on the wedding because that's none of my business. I just feel like all your focus should be on your bride or groom, and family. Nowadays alot of people lost the meaning of marrying the love of your.

I've been watching your channel since I was 13, you taught me how to sew. To have grown up watching you flourish and grow has been such an honor. And I almost started crying thinking back to the first video I saw Erik in. You have been such an inspiration and at 20, I still feel like I can learn so much from you. Thank you for including all of us in one of the most important days of your life ❤️ We will forever be grateful for the years you've shared with us.

I have real respect for you. It is very important for influencers and youtube personalities to be staying in line with COVID restrictions because they are so prominent and watched by others and your lovely elopement dress and matching mask humor shot make the best of a situation spectacularly and actually work as positive COVID messaging. I feel really good about my cravings for this channel when I see you folks showing all the decency and creativity you always have in these crazy times. Make lots of awesome things. You'll definitely get more eyeballs with folks like me at home sewing to de-stress.

@Zagarspupil 3 года назад

You’re kidding right? Those masks were made out of absolutely useless fabric. Studies show that wearing masks made with fabric with that loose of a weave is actually WORSE than if you didn’t wear a mask at all. The droplets that come from your breath go through that tiny weave and get broken up and spread more than if you didn’t wear a mask.

@mael2039 3 года назад

I know this isn't how you originally planned to get married but it looks like you had a wonderful day with the only person that matters, and I'm so happy for the two of you!!

It’s full circle and I’m thankful to have found your videos again, they’re amazing for tips.

@Zagarspupil 3 года назад

@Elisa Castro I was thinking the same thing! She made face masks out of the most useless fabric. I don’t know how much masks actually help to begin with, but if you’re going to wear one, make it out of something useful.

I wasn't subscribed until she began the thrifted transformations and i was so shocked to se the sweater video and mens collared shirt video in her archive. It was like learning the hamster dance page was now a midi music tutorial blog. Anyways, congrats on your marriage and your long youtube career!
