Will My Fiancée Interpret Our Wedding? 

It’s been a while since these guys posted a video. I hope they’re out there living their best life. ✌️

There's an idea - send your wedding invitees you link to your 1 mo free skill share trial. 😎 Our family had a mixed wedding and the other family members were really surprised that a lot of us knew sign language. It was a fun reception!

I miss them dearly. I’ve been watching for years. I hope all is well. 💗

Being an interpreter for a wedding seems like such a big responsibility, but also SO rewarding. Thrilled for everyone involved

I miss seeing your videos as of late. I have watched most of them and really admire the two of you. I do hope everything is okay.

Hi fiances - haven't seen any videos from you lately, hope everyone's OK and happy, including java. How are the wedding plans coming along? Anything new? Miss you two?

I took an undergrad class that was taught by a deaf professor. There was an interpreter for him and an interpreter for us, the students. It was one of my favorite classes!

Congratulations on your engagement! I love the idea of having interpreters for your guests so that they can all understand the vows you share with one another. Wishing you many, many happy and loving years together.

Thank you for answering the question! I hope your wedding will go as smooth as you’re planning it and all of your family members will be able to be on the same page 😊

Please do an update. Wondering where you are and what is going on. Hopefully you are well and just too busy to share videos. Thinking of you and looking forward to more videos. Thank you for sharing with us.

Miss you guys! Hope you’re living the best life possible 💞

You both have inspired me to learn ASL! Congratulations on the engagement!

Really happy for you guys! Hope everything is going well with you and with planning the ceremony!

I love that you look into his eyes when he’s signing and not his hands. It’s like you take in the whole body language and read it with his eyes and the rest is secondary.

I’m so happy for you both!! Y’all are meant for each other

Congrats on the engagement guys and I wish you all the best! I also love that you guys are sharing this for maybe other deaf/hearing couples who may get married need help on how they would want to this their weeding as well.

Hi just wanted to make sure your ok. I am currently working on learning sign language and it very challenging but highly rewarding thank you for being you.

very excited for the both of you looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for you both.

Because of your videos I’m taking ASL classes in college and now can hold basic conversations in sign. It’s very useful especially at my job in restaurants because I can create a more welcoming environment for deaf or hard of hearing customers. Thank you guys so much for inspiring me to take ASL classes❤❤

When will a new video be out? Is everything OK? Has the wedding happened yet,? Wishing you both good wishes. Muss seeing videos of you guys. I'm sure everyone else is too.

I'm so excited for the wedding!!! I hope you will share some footage in one of your videos of your special day so we can all celebrate with you!! Wishing you both all of the best in your lifetime adventure!! ❤️

I started watching you guys before I even took my first sign class. I am now on my 5th year of studying interpreting and I haven't seen one of your videos in a looonggg time. It was so great to be able to fully understand Ryan without the captions!! Congrats you guys!!

I hope your wedding is AMAZING! You have inspired me to try and learn ASL. Have a wonderful day!

Ellen your dress looks gorgeous on you!! I’d definitely go with that neckline and hairdo for the big day 😜

Congratulations!!!! I'm glad I tuned in. Was thinking I hadn't seen your videos lately and this was the first search result. So excited for you both to continue on your journey and celebrate this milestone with all of your loved ones.

Congrats guys! I've been watching you for years now, and I'm actually minoring in ASL right now because you inspired me! Wishing you all the happiness in your future!

All good ideas! I never thought of having too many decorations blocking sight lines for people to see everything clearly. Congratulations to both of you! 🥰

Lovely! I love how expressive sign language is, too! Good luck on your wedding! 💖

I was SO excited when I saw that this video was up this morning! I've loved watching your videos over the years and you guys are the reason I decided to learn ASL at college. Congrats on your engagement, I'm sure the wedding will be beautiful!

Love you guys! Been subscribed since the beginning of my ASL journey, so for the last 3 years. Now I’m almost into my final year of my ITP and your videos are great for interpreting practice. I just turn off the sound and the captions and practice my voicing. So thanks for that. :) I’m so happy for you and wish you the best! Can’t wait for more updates!

The way you two look at each other is magical :')) I'm so happy for you both.

Congratulations on the engagement!! I just wanted to mention that my Language & Culture graduate course is covering deafness as a disability and Deaf culture (for context, I’m studying TESL), and that I recommended your channel as being extremely helpful and educational. I love how, Ellen, you brought up bilingualism with regards to ASL. I feel like a lot of people just think it’s spoken English but signed, when in actuality, it’s its own language! Anyway, I just wanted to comment about how fantastic your videos are and how wonderful you two are together. Best wishes for the future!!

Hope you guys come back to RU-vid soon! Big fan of your channel and the two of you. Love your vibes in your videos I feel so relaxed watching. So much good energy from you two. Wishing you well and please come back soon!!! Update us!!

Im so proud of you guys Congratulations!!! Wishing you a happy wedding and many more years to come

So exciting to be planning it all out! 💕 I have no doubt your ceremony and reception will represent you both. Also, Ellen, your nail polish 💅🏽 is 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍

As an interpreter, I love interpreting weddings. It's so much fun & you have the opportunity to meet more of the guests than most times gathering together like that. :)

Hoping for the best for you all. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing them.

Omg, I’m so excited for you two! What a wonderful partnership! I wish you both all the happiness in the world and so look forward to more videos (as you can fit them in of course, understanding that you’re very busy 🙂).Thank you for sharing of yourselves with us, it’s been a blessing for me.

My mom and dad were a hearing and deaf couple. Just found this channel. I am going to watch the crap out of it! My mother and dad were troopers! And so are you guys. This is beautiful

I love watching your videos for so many reasons! You are both so sweet! I also love seeing my hometown on display! You give me new places to go check out when I am in town too!

Hi Sign Duo! I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching to help me practice sign language. I've been watching RU-vid videos to learn finger spelling and expand my ASL vocabulary. I don't have anyone to practice with so it helps me a great deal to watch you sign. I've been wanting to learn for so long and have committed myself this year to learn as much as I can. I don't know anyone from the deaf community but I've worked in a museum and was really frustrated that I could not communicate well with a non-hearing guest. I could barely finger spell at the time but they appreciated my effort. Congratulations on your engagement. I think you're a lovely couple and wish you all the best. And Java is adorable!

It’s great to see how you guys know how to give and take.

You both do an amazing job of heloing us understand. Thank you so much!

Love the videos, watching you both sign in these videos helps me a lot with learning ASL! Hope you’re both doing well

A Big CONGRATS to you both on your engagement. May your years together, bring you lots of memories, lots of smiles and most importantly lots of happiness :)

His facial expressions are priceless. Love his eyes. You're both fantastic

I just discovered channel and have been watching your past videos and just now noticed you haven’t updated in a while. So I hope you are doing well even tho I’m new to your channel! Your communication ability really just shows how you can understand your loved ones in ways that you don’t even need words or even signs to say or show. You have your own ways of communicating and understand each and are willing to work out all the kinks that happen. As all people do even if they both are hearing, communication goes beyond just speaking the same language and hearing! I love seeing the connection between you too. You communicate better then my own family which says a lot. It reminds me of how my mom and sister are always fighting and have terrible communication but I somehow am able to understand her without even words or tone of voice. Like you’ve said it a previous video, it’s all about learning facial expressions, and phrases they say and knowing how they react and just are as a person. That’s how you truly understand someone. Just basic speaking communication doesn’t always come across easily between people cause they don’t understand each other as you do with your friends and loved ones. I mean even people with disabilities and comprehension skills have barriers to communication, and to understand them and communicate you have learn how to speak or understand their way of expressing what they feel and want to say. I find very rude and strange for people to ask why anyone would date someone or be with someone who’s deaf, like that is basically saying they are too much work why would you want to be someone who is harder to communicate with. You could say that about any trait in my opinion of a person. Why are you dating them they aren’t very bright, they are very short tempered, they have a terminal illness, they have a crappy family etc. obviously you will be with someone if you want to be with them. If you love each other or find happiness that you would rather deal with difficulties other people might not have, rather than be without it. Your gonna be with that Person and it will work if you want it too or let it. I’m sorry that was an entire essay for no reason. But I hope you update sometime even if it’s just a short clip of Java and you two saying Hello or telling us if you are planning on taking a break from RU-vid or focusing on other things for now on or just what you’re up to

so great you two!!! Appreciate the update...I am a little behind the times here but glad I saw this today:) You guys are adorable.

Congratulations on your engagement!! Such an exciting time for you both. I hope wedding planning is an enjoyable process and everything works out beautifully without too much stress. 💕

Yay!! Congrats you guys! I always look forward to watching your videos!

I'm in collage studying sign language and a while back when I wasn't as fluent I would watch your videos. But I'm proud to say I can now understand every thing you sign! I don't know who will see this but just wanted to share. Thank you sign duo!

I used your link on Skillshare the other day and learned 400+ signs in 24 hours!!!! I’m hooked!! Thank you so much for my third language!! 💙💙💙💙

I just wanted to say THANK YOU GUYS!! I have been watching you guys for about 2 years now. I stumbled across your videos and fell in love with you guys and with sign language. I am 40 years old and I have decided to go back to school after 20+ years. I am currently taking ASL 201 and hope to pursue a new career in ASL. Sometimes I go back and watch your old video's and I can almost watch without the captions. You guys are the cutest and am so excited for your wedding. I hope you guys keep making videos. Also I just ordered a sweater from your store cant wait to wear it. Love you guys!!!

I love this channel ❤. I watch you guys in my asl class at school and we really love to watch y’all.

It’s so nice to see a bilingual couple sharing their thought process on this. It is an extra challenge that most people don’t have, but you’re doing a great job of explaining your thought process and making it inclusive for all of your attendees

So happy for you both! Always rooting for you guys!!

I think you guys will be fine what ever works also love how Java in the little intro slide so cute

Dear Ellen and Ryan, You guys have been so amazing and beautiful to watch. Your qualities are just a light to believe that love and sacrifice exists. Thank you for all that you taught me and inspired me to be myself. G-d bless you both now and always. Lia

hey! i am currently taking asl 1 at my high school, and i just wanted to say that your vids are super helpful for me to watch and playback to learn and master some new signs that i haven't encountered yet! thank you so much for making these videos!

CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉🎉 You two inspired me to go further in learning asl.. and now I know how to sign on my own and can communicate to a deaf person..

Congratulations you two! I am so happy for you!

Miss you two! I hope life is awesome!

Congratulations!! I am really happy for you two. On a different topic: What about you two interviewing Ryan's mom about her experiences? Her take on how to sensitize and educate hearing folks to communicate better with deaf folks. How about interviewing a teacher from your school ? What did they learn and do differently because they had you in their class. Thank you.

I love your channel!

I'm late but I just wanna say something. thank you guys, you have inspired me to take ASL-1 at my school and to learn the language to be able to better communicate with those around me. I'm only a freshman in highschool and because of you guys I'm learning a whole other language and culture. I'm an aspiring lawyer, and I hope to be able to help deaf people in need of a lawyer who knows asl.

Just found your channel and watched a couple of videos. What more can I say but, "Excellent". Thank you so much for sharing your story and helping to inspire others. Congratulations on your engagement and I hope to see another video sometime soon. Hope you are enjoying the next chapter of your lives together!

I miss your videos guys, I hope you are doing well.. please come back on RU-vid and if anyone knows a platform they use more often let us know! Love xx

Still no word from you guys. Really hope everything's okay. Miss your videos.

All those pastries in the shop you were in looked delicious! Made me hungry 😋 I like the idea of the two interpreters for your wedding. I hadn’t even thought about that actually. I’ve been to a wedding before where an interpreter was used but it was for the groom’s family member that was deaf only.

Really enjoying this channel. I hope more videos to come. ❤

I can't wait for the wedding video. I hope you'll share it with us. It's been so great watching you over the years. Ellen, you're going to look just gorgeous on the day. Have you guys thought about timing? Maybe I missed it earlier, but what time of year were you thinking?

I remember learning asl at home during covid and then coming upon this couple and they were amazing. They taught me that I could read a bit without having to use captions or anything. My favorite couple and I’m so happy they are engaged. I wanted to learn because I wanted to expand that side of language where not everyone learns and not everyone doesn’t know who they’ll bump into but I am hoping they will post soon :)

So happy for you guys

CONGRATULATIONS on the engagement guys, super excited and happy for you 💜

I thought about maybe Ryans mom being the interpreter since that’s what she does as a suggestion, but then I thought, no b/c she would probably want to just be there in the moment and enjoy the experience of her son and new daughter-in-law 😊❤️

Please come back soon, hope everything is good, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ♥️🇨🇦🌏

Very new to your videos. Love the whole concept of your channel and how you do the captions for signing. Makes me wish I knew more ASL

Bring these videos back!! Hope you two are well

Any idea when you both are returning with new videos? I'm sure I'm not the only one to miss seeing you both in the videos. Have you decided more about what you are going to do for the wedding Miss your signing and your cute videos.

I love following you guys. I am so excited for you both❤️

It's been awhile since you guys posted. Can't wait to see your wedding video!

Been thinking of learning ASL, and you guys gave me the courage to start

How exciting!! 💛 wish you all the best!

I am currently learning ASL at my local university and am studying it as my minor. I remembered that I had followed y'all long before I was even interested in learning and could never find any of the videos! I am glad I found y'all again.

I miss you guys. Watching you guys is such a great memory for me. Loved watching yalls relationship and the soft and gentleness of it. Wish you guys to come backkk but probably busy from all that wedding planning I guess

Congratulations on your wedding! I wish you all the best from Uruguay!

I'm so happy for you both. I wish you more happiness and love in the future. ❤

I don't know if it would work for you guys, but I've seen some people put their vows on a slideshow. It might be a good way to unite the two families because they can all read even if they don't speak the same language.

Hi you guys are amazing my parents are deaf and they taught me sign language or asl and it warms my heart you guys are amazing

I was the officiator at my sister's wedding. Her wife is Deaf, so the wedding ceremony was all in ASL. They had a separate interpreter translate everything we were saying. It was so awesome to be a part of the ceremony, very emotional!

So it’s currently 14th of July and still no update :( I love their videos I find them so interesting and entertaining! Hope you guys are okay and living your best lives!!

I recently discovered your channel and have been watching your videos for the last two weeks. Thank you for sharing your lives on RU-vid. I hope you are still planning to make videos, but if not I wish you well and all the best on your upcoming wedding.😊

I wish they would post again I love their channel. Hope they are doing good!!

Hope you guys are doing well! Wedding planning is insane and this stage of life overall is wild.

Yay congratulations to both of you and it is a good idea to use an interpreter for the vows

This is really great stuff thanks for sharing. It’s helpful to see the process of figuring out accessibility. I also always love your videos where you get a tasty treat and video in the the vehicle! They’re some of my favourite videos 🥰. Wedding planning yay congratulations!

Congrats once again to both of you! 🥰
