the venue it is Friday currently April
5th and we're about to do our rehearsal
where we're going to walk through the
steps of like walking down the aisle the
dogs coming up with the Rings doing the
handoffs with like vow books and
microphones and such just so we kind of
have an idea of the flow of the day I
cannot believe this weekend is finally
here I truly cannot believe it like

it for real and I don't even have words

like so far away like it's in so many
more months and then another part of me
is like oh my God this is happening in
like the next freaking minute and now
it's actually happening in the next
freaking minute oh my God I'm also so
excited to be able to speak much more
candidly about like what's actually
happening on the real timeline because

happening it's real and we're about to
get married oh my God oh my God okay so

[Music]
ever this is the cocktail area that you
guys have already seen but now I'm just
like imagining all the places that we're
going to be able to like take photos and
videos and stuff too like this is such a
beautiful vignette against this building
and these stairs the bridal Suite is up
in there so literally in 48 hours we
going to be getting ready for the
wedding oh my God oh my God are we
getting married this weekend are we
getting married oh we're getting
married are we getting married are we
getting married this weekend that's so
nice
where Dad so nice oh boys you're going
to be so handsome hi guys home from
rehearsal I feel really good about where
things are at obviously you guys know I
am an anxious type A need to plan as
much in advance as possible and so I
feel like that was great for me to like
be in the space again so soon to when
we're going to be there for real doing
it on the big day for real for real oh
my God oh my God oh my God oh my God I
have no other words oh my God also cut
my finger today not super timely it's
like not really bad but I'm about to
touch so many white things as I pack and
I was like now is not the time to be
bleeding around literally white things
in every direction just white white
white white things everywhere so here's
the plan for the rest of the weekend so
rehearsal check that off tonight I've
got family coming over just for like a
casual dinner and then tomorrow tomorrow
we're meeting Jeremy's aunt and uncle
and when I say we obviously Jeremy has
met his aunt and uncle before I am
meeting Jeremy's aunt and uncle tomorrow
for the first time in the morning and
then in the evening we have our welcome
party so we've got a family dinner first
for our families to all meet and then
everyone else joins and so it's like an
everyone gets to come for drinks and
dessert and the venue is so cute I have
also hired a content creator for both
Saturday and Sunday to be able to cover
everything so that I can try to have as
much vloggy footage as possible so I'll
probably be doing like periodic
check-ins I'm still trying to like find
the perfect balance in terms of
capturing the entire weekend because I
don't want to make it feel like a
production and take away from the
overall day but obviously like you guys
have been with me through this whole
planning process and now it's finally
all happening and unfolding and so I
want to be able to bring you along with
me as much as possible guys we're
getting married is essentially what I'm
saying so welcome dinner and welcome
party is tomorrow night I'm so excited I
love love love love love my dress I saw
a picture of Olivia kpo wearing it on
her Bachelorette and I was like I will
take one of those plays and so that is
exactly what I did so wearing that
tomorrow um the venue is so cute there a
bowling alley it's a whole private space
in a hotel in Hollywood and The Vibes
are excellent we didn't have to do any
Decor literally no florals I think
there's a welcome sign and that's it so
it wasn't like crazy too on the expense
side which was really nice because I am
in fact incredibly over budget and I
don't love that for me but that's okay
one of the most common tips that I've
gotten from other Brides is that having
that welcome party helps especially if
you have a lot of guests coming in from
out of town being able to have those
conversations the night before being
like Oh my God so happy to see you thank
you so much for coming how is your new
job like saw you adopted a new dog how
was that vacation like being able to
have all of those conversations the
night before I feel like is just like so
great and then when you see them again
the next day on the actual wedding day
it's just like more about the
celebration and being able to celebrate
Al together so anyways I think we went
into this hesitant to you know do a
whole another event I get over simulated
incredibly easily and my social battery
is definitely not as long range as
Jeremy's and so I was a little nervous
about that but I'm incredibly excited
and we also made the decision to not
have anyone stay at our house that we
can have just like anytime that we have
downtime we can be using it to do erands
or like any kind of work stuff and
packing and prepping and maybe just a
little bit of carcass time on the couch
watching Tik talk to decompress so that
was also a decision that I highly
recommend if you've got people and
family and friends coming in from out of
town because then you're not like
picking and choosing who can stay with
you like it's just like there just no
one so yeah that is kind of the plan for
tomorrow and all of the welcome things
and then Sunday obviously is the big day
it is a full day of Affairs and I truly
like I cannot believe the weekend is
finally here I cannot believe it so we
toured hummingbird nest Ranch the venue
in May of last year and I remember that
day being so sweltering hot and
unexpectedly hot because it's about 30
minutes north of like the rest of LA and
that was the day we also made the
decision that like we originally were
thinking May wedding and we swapped over
to April because I would so much rather
be a little bit too cold than a little
bit too hot and sweaty like in terms of
hair and makeup and your guests being
uncomfortable like you can rent heaters
in a space in the evening to make the
space a little warmer but like you can't
rent air conditioning for an outdoor
venue anyways it is a little bit cooler
than I ideally would like it to be but
I'm just so happy that it's not raining
because also renting tents to cover a
fully outdoor venue also incredibly
expensive so the cost to do heaters is
so much more ideal than doing a massive
tent if it were to rain and also I know
it's supposed to be good luck but like
we're totally Outdoors ceremony cocktail
hour reception photos totally Outdoors
so I am incredibly relieved thank God
for pretty solid weather this weekend
okay what else what else oh my God guys
we're getting married we're getting
married we are getting married I
cannot believe it I cannot believe it oh
I got a really cute coat last minute
again because it's like the weather has
just shaped up to be a little bit cooler
let me show you it is very cute again
just so much white everywhere this is
what it looks like the feathers are kind
of everywhere so I got to give
her like a good Shake Outdoors but it's
also the perfect cropped length to go
with my second
dress this is part of the second look if
I do need it okay so I think I'm going
to start packing things up and getting
organized in a little mini suitcase I do
still have obviously our bin of all the
emergency things for the kit and this
has been so great cuz I've just been
tossing things in as I remember but I
want to definitely still bring like I
think maybe just a carry-on suitcase
it's probably fine I'm thinking because
the dresses have their own like garment
bags so like I'm really just and then I
have this thing that can hold a bunch of
so yeah I think a carryon suitcase
is going to be fine it's really just
like slippers and little things and
little things and by little things I
mean this extra clip and extension if we
want to do a little more hair for the
look which I'm also so excited to show
you all of the hairstyles oh my God so
what I'm thinking in terms of Vlog is
that this will all go into a vlog of the
rehearsal and packing and the welcome
dinner and the welcome event and I'm
hoping to have this up for you guys like
on Monday or Tuesday literally the day
after the next day after the wedding
actually happens and then I've got some
other Vlog stuff separated out into a
behind the scenes Vlog of the actual
wedding day I've got all of the footage
also from the day that we said Yes to
the Dress with my mom and all my friends
and so we're going to do a dress reveal
with all my girlfriends and so that'll
also be a vlog so I think I've got a
really fun like content plan so we
really get like a full 360 behind the
scenes of the wedding as if you were
there with me because again oh my God
we're getting
[Music]
married hi guys good morning it is a
welcome party night day night happening
as of so soon happening on this day of
April 6th oh my God okay so I want to
give you a very real breakdown of how
I'm feeling I'm sure that there are past
Brides or Brides to be that have felt a
similar sentiment but not to be negative
I'm feeling um a little
murderous no okay that's too far that's
too far but I genuinely I'm so
overwhelmed and a little lot lot
stressed uh actively by the sheer amount
of texts that I've gotten that the
answer to every single one of these
texts is did you read the wedding
website did you read the website did you
look at the website did you happen to
maybe go on the website that has every
single detail and every single FAQ that
you could possibly think of did you
possibly just go on the website please
please for the sake of my sanity did you
read the website oh my God oh my God I'm
coping with humor I'm someone who I
rarely leave someone on red via text and
so like I feel an immense amount of
guilt if I don't text someone back but I
am nearing the levels
of I I I I just can't did you read the
wedding website please for the love of
God did you read the wedding website and
like some of the questions that people
have asked me are like is it going to be
cold tonight I'm like did you open the
Weather app is literally more effort to
send me a text asking about the weather
tonight and the area of the city that
you also live in than to open the
Weather app and so anyways I'm feeling
incredibly overwhelmed by the sheer
amount of stupid questions I've been ask
and I love from the bottom of my heart
and I am so grateful to all of our
friends and family who have cleared
their weekend to celebrate with us I
truly am but please for the love of God
read the
website please please for the sake of my
sanity pleas please read the
website oh my God so anyways that's the
unfiltered version of what I'm feeling
currently and I feel like you guys only
deserve the realness of how everything
is actually going aside from that
everyone has prepped me well enough to
be like things are going to go wrong
people will last minute drop out and um
check and check those would have been
backward check marks with my left hand
but check and check so kind of like the
most pressing and serious thing that's
gone wrong is that my mom mom DIY who we
know queen of Fitness can do so many
pull-ups with literal 25 lb weights
hanging off of her waist with a chain
has what we think slipped a disc in her
back late last Sunday night and I know
that the Canadian Healthcare System gets
a lot of but we got so lucky with
the care that she's been able to get
just like the past week so before they
got to LA on Thursday between Monday and
Wednesday she was in and out of the ER
they did like a full ambulance transport
because she just like fully could not
move whatsoever she saw a doctor she got
an x-ray she's had an MRI ordered she's
seen two doctors outside of that she's
gone to two chiropractors for different
assessments and treatments they were
able to rebook their flights with a live
flat SE and that was truly like the key
in getting her here she's still in a ton
of pain and she's on pain meds she's on
nerve specific pain meds and she's also
on an anti-inflammatory and nothing
really seems to be helping so it is
probably the least ideal timing of the
decade for this to be happening but
she's in pretty good spirits and is
managing but it definitely is not ideal
it just is so upsetting to see her in so
much pain on a weekend where she should
be celebrating so that's one of the
biggest things that has gone not as
planned and I like literally my heart
just like freaking breaks for her
thinking about all this what else has
gone wrong we've had two sets of guests
who had awful just like out of nowhere
tragic unexpected deaths I guess another
thing is that Jeremy's mom is not going
to be attending the wedding he addressed
this on the last podcast episode I think
around minute 37 if you literally are
just interested in hearing that portion
of it cuz I don't want to speak for him
on the situation but that is also very
unfortunate and very sad and she will
not be there on this day to celebrate so
we're down a mom and we are up one
injured mom and that's kind of the mom
standing right now I feel like I had
like a little stress meltdown last night
but hopefully that was the end of it and
now that things are just about to start
unfolding and all the planning will pay
off I can just be in the moment and take
a deep breath and enjoy everything as it
happens so Jeremy's aunt and uncle are
headed over right now for coffee and
then hair and makeup is coming over to
get ready for the welcome party later
this afternoon I've got a little bit of
final packing to do I'm going to finish
off my vows get those printed put them
in The Vow book and just get ready for
tomorrow God oh my God also we took the
middle piece out of our couch right now
and it does look quite nice it does feel
quite adult to be having a regular boo
tomato
tomato I will say the dogs don't really
know what to do themselves they're like
oh so we only get one cushion each I
don't really understand I've got digo
here who is doing the cutest little
snuggle with the squish Malo as a pillow
that I've ever seen in my entire life I
could die but yeah without this little
middle piece here they really don't know
what to do with themselves like zooming
in a u they're just not used to it
they're just not used to it so anyways
my sweet little baby dicko it's so good
at rehearsal yesterday he's so good he's
so good he looks so small right now so
little oh my God rehearsal dinner slw
party Glam is done I don't know if I've
ever looked so good in my entire life
and I don't know how we're going to Top
This for like the actual wedding day
look because I'm like do we just do this
again because I don't know if I've ever
looked better anyways I have to show you
the back of my hair it looks so good so
AOS did my makeup and my new friend
Jordan did my hair and it looks
incredible she's a bridal specific hair
stylist came all the way from San Diego
and oh okay ready ready ready let me
show you the back it's also like stuck
to my H hang
on hopefully it's focusing the way that
my little like blonde highlights are
peeking through the little mini Pony
it's so cute I hope you're seeing it as
good as it looks
a little
movement a little commotion for the Glam
today okay going to go throw on my dress
I'm already running a little bit behind
the boys have eaten they are not coming
to the welcome party tonight but tonight
is just like dinner and I think like we
have 3 hours in the venue but I have the
content creator to do um some vlogging
for me so I am going to get dressed and
I will see you in a second rehearsal

getting getting ready
look at the detailing of this dress it
is so cute it is entirely beaded and
then let me lower you so you can see the
bottom it just has this cute little cut
right
here adorable adorable everything right
here feels a little tight but that's
okay who needs to breathe who needs to
breathe on your welcome party night I
will say this is allowing for more
breath than the engagement party dress
gave me because that one was essentially
nothing so anyways I'm only going up and
then tomorrow one dress is totally
breathable I figured that would be the
day when I would want to be able to
breathe the most out of all of the days
okay we're ready here's what I decided
for jewelry I've got these little
hoopies on here that are very cute
they're kind of like a rounded rectangle
shape and then just a little crystally
thing here and then the little mini hoop

matching one on the side and that's it

hi guys oh my gosh the welcome dinner
last night was so much fun that venue
was perfect so we were at the Hollywood
Roosevelt Hotel and the little venue
within it was called the spare room and
so we had that cute little bowling alley
we did our little dinner and then it was
just like the perfect size for the
amount of people people that we had I
feel like if a room is too big it feels
like awkward and there's like too much
space it was like the perfect balance of
feeling like it was full and high energy
but like not too crowded to the point
that like you're sweating oh my God also
there's so much happening right now
hello hello so last night a total hit I
feel like again I experienced the same
thing as I did at the engagement party
where I was one so dehydrated because I
was forgetting to just like drink water
and two I kept losing my drink so I
ended up like not drinking very much
which is good because I woke up today
feeling refreshed definitely didn't have
the most restful sleep because just like
so excited and so nervous but I'm full
of energy today because today is wedding
day holy I can't believe it I'm
going to wrap this Vlog here start a new
one for a whole behind the scenes of the
