We Got Married!! Story of our Micro Wedding 

Never thought I'd be sitting on the couch with my spouse watching a wedding video on RU-vid of two people I've never met while shedding tears of happiness. We are so happy for both of you, congratulations!! Also, Gene losing the ring in the ocean is incredibly on brand. Now we need the follow up where Kari somehow finds it.

Rain in my culture means the start of something great. Congrats!

The grandma story choked me up man. 😢 My grandma got to make it to my impromptu wedding before she passed. That was sweet of her to get that pin for you. We did our wedding at the beach, with no permit we found a spot, and then my mom and Dad performed the ceremony as we were surrounded by our siblings and close family. This weekend makes 10 years. Congrats to you both, I've watched for a while. I'm happy for you both. One of my favorite channels. I enjoy watching you all on this channel.

Guys im literally crying on the treadmill right now 😭 that was so beautiful! Congrats you two! And so happy the puppers is making a recovery!

Congratulations, what a blast. I had 44 years before I lost her last year. It’s great to marry your best friend. Enjoy and savour each day. Just tell her you love her each and every day because one day she may not be there. That is the best video you have ever done, and the first on that has not been dominated by Gene, with Kari’s quiet, strong voice calming the waters. What a great day. Thanks.

Im so happy for you two!

COngratulations!!!!! Such a beautiful video I definitely cried at a bunch of different points. I don't know why this video got to me so much but I've been watching this channel for a number of years now-- watching the sagas of your lives together through moving in together, Gene breaking his elbow, the loss of lefty, renovating a house together-- so many beautiful, sad, funny, and genuine moments that you shared with us. I know that we are just humble observers in your unique lives, but I cannot express the joy I felt watching this video and seeing all of those moments culminate into this unbelievably stunning, heartwarming, and perfect day of love. It felt like watching two of my oldest friends getting married (in the least parasocial way possible), and it gave me hope for my life too. To believe again that someone could smile the way that Kari smiles at Gene during their vows. To have such wonderful supportive friends like Sam to be there for you every moment of the way. I am so unbelievably excited to see what else life has in store for this dynamic duo. Thank you for sharing these very real and very human moments with us. Congratulations again

Know, dear fellow, that with Kari you have the main prize. She really has a heart of gold. Be considerate of each other and experience your wonderful life. Very happy to see that your dog is doing a little better.

Well, I have been a videographer, and a wedding videographer for 10 years, and I've been watching your videos for the last 6 years so you are one of my RU-vid mentors. I didn't expect so much drama, so much emotion, so much serenity in a video in wedding video. You two did awesome. You are now my number one couple. Thank you for sharing your best moments with the world to show that true love exists and can be achieved by the simplest things possible. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

God bless you Mr. & Mrs. Potato Jet !!! What a wonderful storybook wedding !!! I also lost my wedding ring, but it was nearly 20 years later, after losing a lot of weight, on a hike together on our anniversary in the Green Mountains of Vermont where we live. Your wedding photos are FANTASTICALLY GORGEOUS.

Rain on your wedding day is good luck! Yes, I agree it always clears at the right time. I lost my wedding ring struggling in the water after a windsurfing breakdown on my wife's birthday, UGH! Still together and celebrating our 39th anniversary next month. You two are on track for a great life together in my book.

Kari and Gene, I want to wish you both congratulations and a lifetime of love and happiness! From watching your videos throughout the years, I can see the love and support you two share for one another. I have been married for almost 30 years to my best friend. I see a lot of the same qualities in companionship that you two share, as my wife and I do. This tells me that you both will have a long and happy life together. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. The past six months have been a little stressful here at home while my wife and I deal with my newly developed heart problems and getting to see your Wedding video brought some happiness to my day. Again, congrats and stay happy!

Yay Congratulations Gene and Kari 🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations on your wedding, been here since 2000 subs and even then we thought you were perfect for each other. We wish you two the best, happiest life that could ever exist - the JT Studios Channel

Haha omg Gene losing your ring. The most Potato Jet thing ever 😂 I'm so happy for yall! Congratulations! Now make some babies! 😂

OMG! So many parts of this video made me cry - starting with how beautiful Kari looked to the gift of grandma's pin, the video pledging your love to Kari, the light during a hard rain, the rainbow after a hard rain to the sun shining on your beautiful day to ending it with Ticky walking again on his own. Many happy moment tears for sure! Your day and your lives were and are truly filled with many blessings, for sure! I'm so so happy for you both. And BTW, I hear it's good luck when it rains on your wedding day and I can see the luck that surrounded you .both from the start of your day to the end. Congratulations! Last, congrats on the 1.01M+ subs. This just goes to shows how much your content you and your partners provide is appreciated. Love. you both! Love your team! Thank you for sharing your beautiful day.

Happy for you guys, congrats!!

I'm so happy for you guys. The wedding is really about everyone. They celebrate you but you celebrate everyone. Congrats a trilliion times over!

Why do I feel like my childhood best-friends just got married? Congrats you guys, this is so beautiful and the wedding looked amazing! Kari was the most beautiful bride, and Gene looked like a tack!

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying! So beautiful. So happy for you two. Congrats! ❤

I am so happy for you two crazy kids! Thank you for sharing this, it has been quite a journey since I started following your feed over five years ago. Santa Barbara is my town and I have hosted a few dinners in that room at the Lark. You could not have picked a better place! Gene, don't feel bad, I lost my ring in the first year of my marriage. You will get an another one and it will always carry the same meaning. Your ceremony looked amazing, you two really brought the weather on your shoulders. What an awesome day for the both of you. Congrats!

As a Wedding Photographer, I am so amused by your story and it's moments like these where all things come together in unreal shots that have everyone in tears... and then the laughter as you narrate the story. Congrats you both Gene and Kari for an amazing adventure and those that will come in the beautiful years ahead as your souls grow closer. #TeammatesforLife I look forward to meeting you both as well as Mateo and Paula at Distrito Coffee on a future 1st Thursday.

I love this!!! Congrats again to you and Kari! 🎉 If you need someone to swim down there and find your ring, you know who to call. Anyone but me 🤣

There is a french saying "Mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux !" which means "rainy day wedding, happy wedding" ! Wish you all the best from Paris ! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Love you both ! ❤❤❤

Congratulations!!!! All of your subs feel like we've been part of this journey and couldn't be happier for you both. And, that tripod is so exciting, as a corporate and wedding filmmaker, I can't wait to get that!

Watched your vids for 5 years now.. can’t believe how far I’ve watched you go. So happy for you two. Felt like I was right there for the journey both the ups and downs. Congrats!

I’ve been watching your videos for over 4 years now, am so happy for your guys. The both of you are such an inspiration.

Never thought i'd be watching a Potato Jet and being ripped through every emotion. HUUUUGE dog lover family here and have always loved Chickie and Pita so the roller coaster started early but then the grandma pin, and the stunning scenery, and the vow video.. HOLY CRAP I was a mess!! Thank you to both of you for being so so so amazing. Always been a fan but def a fan for life.

I'm Def not a follow a internet couple type of guy. I like camera and audio gear vids. I'm not into much about people's personal lives. But man I could not be happier for a couple I've never met before. I saw this on my for you feed and clicked immediately! I love how you 2 are with each other, I love how there are no airs of putting on a personality, I love how your wedding was very "yinz" (as Pittsburgh peeps would say) . Man thank you for sharing, thank you for inspiring not just artwork but life goals, and congrats to new couple! Keep being awesome ❤❤

Congrats to you both! You're one of my most favorite cinematography-related RU-vidr!

Congrats! Happy for you guys….and the dogs lol. ❤️

Congrats my man 🎉

Congratulations to you guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉

congrats!! so inspiring to see you both handle and overcoming the difficulties! As I'm preparing my own wedding for later this year and having a similar situation with my dog coming out of nowhere, I couldn't help myself to cry and felt the same happiness when you see the improvements on the day-to-day things. You both are amazing and great dog parents! super happy for you!

Congrats! We have all been waiting for this and we thank you for sharing with us everything. I got choked up when you shared your grandma story. As a person who did wedding videos in the past, these are moments we all look for.

This has got to be the best wedding video I've seen. I loved your attitude and the vibe of the event. You two are a great couple. Thank you for sharing your important day with us.

Congratulations to you both! Happy for you. Wishing you both a happy married life. Cheers!

Congrats guys!! Crazy how some of us have been following through soo much development in your life. Ive been watching since your old apartment in LA, to the rental house in Sherman Oaks, then the beach and now your own home! I had a similar trek with my wife. Anyways, congrats again!!!

I remember stumbling across your channel because I was planning to go to Iceland soon after you went. I haven't left your channel since. Congratulations to you both. Happy for you guys. I plan on popping the question soon and seeing this helps...

OMG! I am over here balling my eyes out! Your wedding story was amazing and the photos and videos were absolutely beautiful! I've always heard that rain on your raining day is good luck! I am happy that the rain did cooperate with your special day! Congratulations and I hope you guys have a happy and an adventurous ever after!

Peace be with you! Congratulations! Have a Blessed life together🙏

7:35 What a magical moment, the light shining through the redwoods with the rain coming through! Oh my god a photographer couldn't plan that in a million years!! Pure luck and magic! This video has me all choked up, it really hit me. I'm so happy for you two, it would be my dream if I could ever have a love as half as magical as the love that you two share! I think the rain was a nice omen, like it was cleansing the past, making way for the light of the future of you both together! Congratulations, Gene and Kari! Go Chiki!!

Congrats! As someone who has filmed over 400 weddings I can tell you that the entire mood of the wedding trickles down from the couple, so your good attitudes made it a great day for everyone, I'm sure of it.

Congrats y'all! So nice.

Woooohoooo! So happy for you guys! Congrats Gene and Kari! Been following your channel for YEARS now, at this point I feel like we're friends. And it's so heart warming to witness the life events of friends. 💖

Congratulations 🎉

The wind was your wingman that day. It blew away the clouds that were carrying the rain. And it blows Kari’s veil which makes it more epic in the photos and videos.

Congratulations man

Congratulation on your wedding Jean and Carrie! 6 years both of you have been together is also the amount of time that I have binging your content, for free. You help shaping my style of video and film making, and teach me all the important things related to photography and film making. I wish you both having a great journey ahead!

I cried. Thanks. This was beautiful! I’ve been watching you guys for the better part of five years. Crazy how I don’t know you yet I still cried at your wedding haha

Gene I've been foilowing you way before you met Kari. So happy to be part of your journey. Here's to the next 50 years of your life. Cheers!

Congratulations!!!🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations ❤ You got me in the world of filming

Absolute love this for y'all! Thank you for sharing not only your craft, but a bit of your lives and love for the world and others!

Congrats Gene! Santa Barbara will always look great on film.

Congratulations!! This video is absolutely amazing!! You are such an awesome couple!! My favorite on RU-vid!! I wish you all the best you can imagine!! This really made me cry several times…

This was one of the most beautiful vidios ever!!! I have been following u since 2019 and u also have bin one of my gratest insperations!! THANK YOU!!

The world at the moment is rather less than inspiring. And then you two pitch up with a tale of love, hope, care and optimism. Absolutely top. I wish you a long and happy life together.

Congratulations!

Oh jeeze the video barely started and I’m already crying

gratz. happy for both of you!

I choked up so many times in this video. Congrats and much happiness to you two from the bottom of my heart! I've been seeing your videos for 7 years and it's strange how I felt emotional like you're a close one. Maybe you're are in some way and I'm glad that you guys had such an awesome moment to remember for the rest of your lives. It was memorable to me S2.

Congratulations. Love the simplicity.

Congratulations! Welcome to the club !!

I love this. Love that everyone came together to make your day so amazing. Thanks for sharing with us as well.

Congratulations!!! It rained on our wedding day too! The rain clearing out definitely added to your story!

So happy for you guys. Been with my bride for 26 years and we are always together. I hope you have the same wonderful closeness for the rest of your days. Nurture this union forever.

Congrats to you guys! Been following your journey and I'm happy to see you guys finally tie the knot! Best wishes to you two!

Congrats! You guys have come a long way and set the bar really high for us single folks out here. Great job and keep up the good work! Awesome story and video, ofcourse! 🤗🥰

Thank you for sharing and congrats for starting the hardest and most important work of your life - building a family!

Epic story! Thanks for sharing your lives with us. You have always been a great inspiration and this just seals the deal. Congratulations!

17:07: Your marriage is not the kind that needs the original ring to be great. Those who fret over such a thing and need all the symbolism to feel good about their relationship have a bigger problem. You don't. It was a GREAT gift in a form of a test, reminder. Embrace it. Replace the ring with the same type and love your life together! Congratulations!

Congratulations to both of you! I have loved following you and excited for the next stage of journeys.

congrats! so crazy seeing you guys over the year and now to see this. Happy for you both.

I love everything about this. The video itself and your awesome commentaries convey so much optimism, authenticity, love and appreciation for each other and your loves ones that it filled my heart. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing this moment in such a beautiful way, it's truly inspiring.

Beautiful video! You are such a beautiful couple and you've taken us all into this story of you with grace and beauty. I look forward to seeing more content from you both as you now are married!

So happy for you guys! Congratulations!

Congratulations! Been following this channels journey for a long 6 years already

omg I'm balling in tears CONGRATULATIONS!! けっこんおめでとうございます！！

Literally crying! Amazing. Congrats to you both!

Congratulations! After I got married I told all my friends that the mistakes that happen are typically only the ones that you will notice. That helped us not get too stressed about things that happen along the way. Hope chicky feels better!

Congrats!! About time!!

Awesome and congrats!

Congratulations to both of you!

Storytelling at its best. I’m over here teary eyed, loving how you guys made your day super special regardless of the weather. So romantic! Thx for sharing!! 💍💍🐳🌈🦮 This bottom part is me signing your (online) guestbook…😊 “I hope you always take each other for better or worse, but never for granted.” (-author unknown)🥂❤️

I've been following this channel and therefore - indirectly - a part of your life for several years now. We all have seen you both move towards this significant new step in your life journey, and I'm incredibly happy for you guys, that everything worked out so well - even though the signs didn't look so good (weather-wise) right before your big day. I wish you nothing but the best for your future! 🤗And for sure, I'm also very happy to see your dog seems to be doing better! 🐶
