Yes, have the wedding that you want to have. Obviously being considerate of others and their needs is great but ultimately it’s you and Nicks special day and that’s what matters most. We wanted a donut cake (layers of donuts to look like a cake) and our families through a fit that we weren’t having a traditional cake. So we ordered a 3 tier cake and 4 days before the wedding the bakery canceled it. I was so frustrated, no one could make a cake that last minute or if they could it would cost a fortune. The night before the wedding I went to the local grocery store and bought 4 dozen donuts and a tiny cake, arranged them on a tiered cupcake stand with the small cake on top to do the traditional cutting and had the donut cake we originally wanted. Do what you want and let the haters get over it. Ps. Not a single person complained about the donuts while they were enjoying them
You really hit the nail on the head about it, still feeling like 2020. It has gone by quick, but feels slow. I'm just glad someone is on my wave length 😌 🙂
We’re just getting back to normal life too! We had so much happen in the last couple years. I had a baby in 2020 then broke my ankle, my husband went through a big depression and got diagnosed with autism last year plus multiple health issues for us both. Things are finally starting to look up again though! I’m glad you’re getting back to normal too! ❤️
Your mindset about this is my dream wedding despite what others want you to do is spot on. Everything we wanted my future in-laws were shooting down despite them not paying for a thing. We’re still getting the wedding we want but I too wanted a simple wedding at a resort that would have been at least half the cost. I too am working on people pleasing and it can be so taxing and anxiety inducing. At the end of the day the ones who most want to be there will be and you will regret not getting the special day you wanted to please someone who will barely remember the day. You’re on the right track keep going ❤️
Jazzy I’m so sorry you’re dealing with these health issues. My boyfriend has TMJ and migraine issues and I’ve had my share of things over the last few years too. I had to have one of my ovaries removed in 2019 because my fallopian tube got twisted around it and it ended up dying before they could get in and untwist it in time. Last year l had to have surgery a couple of times due some stuff going on with my kidney/ureter. Trying to stay positive and mentally healthy when it feels like you are getting hit with one thing after another is so difficult and thank you for sharing your struggles with us. That’s one reason we love you. You are authentically yourself and keep it real with us. Post as much or as little as you feel like you can. We will be here to watch 💜
My partner and I have chosen to get married abroad - we invited everyone we love and said we did not expect anyone to come and totally understood about the cost / time off etc. and life commitments but of course we would LOVES to have them there. We have 25 people coming out and I am so so excited. We got engaged 3 years ago (pre covid) and are getting married next April ❤ can't wait to see you document wedding planning xxx
I also have Chiari, 15 years now. I completely understand everything you’re going through and then some, I also have Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and Multiple Sclerosis. I promise that there will be tough times but with your positive outlook you’ll do great, because I have the same outlook too!
Hey Jaz! Haven’t commented in a good while but your whole “I pay attention” speech has seemed to have sold me 😂💗 I just got accepted to write and direct our school play this year, the first one since Covid! Obviously super excited, and I can’t wait to watch you and Nick on your wedding journey, been here for long time now so it’s absolutely incredible to have seen you both completely blossom together 🥺💕
I totally relate, I've been chronically ill my entire life, I have always had severe body pain since my first memory in life along with other debilitating health conditions. I also have a condition that gives me the worst migraines that leave me bedridden for a few days at a time, its a neurological condition that basically gives me all the same symptoms as someone with brain cancer but without tumors or cancer, its called a pseudo tumor cerebral. I totally understand how hard it is to keep to a set uploading schedule when you don't feel well. Sending hugs and lots of love your way Jazzy 💛 My mental health hasn't been great recently because my emotional support dog got cancer and passed a month ago so this year hasn't been great but my son and I are writing a book together which is the one good thing that is helping me get through my grief.
Have your dream wedding! Everyone will be so happy for you to be happy! Take care in the journey through recovering from the last 2+ years, so rough for the whole world and a million thanks for shining such bright light with your amazing content!
Jazz, you're a chronie (chronically ill!) you're allowed to take some time to come to terms with that and realise you can't always 'just do it'. Don't take this as me being patronising, I'm almost 36 and it took me 15 years to learn my limits and be OK with the facts that sometimes I won't be able to keep that commitment, or even just get showered and dressed! Please don't put pressure on yourself just for us, we will watch when you feel OK to post. True subscribers will be happy when you manage to post and anyone who says otherwise/badgers you for not uploading isn't worth having as a subscriber anyway 😊 🥰
I'm chronically ill too, since I was a toddler actually. I have had severe all over body pain since my first memories in life, took 20 years to get a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia as the cause. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 4. I have multiple other medical issues too, plus trauma PTSD from abuse I went through as a child. I was 33 when I finally came to terms with my health. I recently had to say goodbye to my emotional support dog so my mental health isn't real great right now but I'm doing my best to get through a day at a time. I think the best thing we can do is allow ourselves time to rest in between trying to accomplish our goals and/or daily tasks.
Another fellow chronie here also. I was diagnosed with RA as a young teen, along with migraine disorder, and fibromyalgia. Then later due to a domestic assault/attempted homocide I ended up with PTSD and CRPS from some of the extensive injuries. It’s taken me ages to realize sometimes I just can’t albeit I still struggle like Jazzy with wanting to people please that I developed due to trauma:abuse growing up. It’s hard to do it even after ages of going through it. So it’s so good to see other chronies coming together to remind her that it IS okay to miss a post especially on a no spoons day. So proud of the strength in each and every one of y’all! 💕
My great nephew was just diagnosed with chiari malformation. Unfortunately, at his latest MRI they also found a tumor. It's a watch and wait situation. Your videos make me so happy. Thanks for being so genuine! ❤
Friends of mine got married in Bali. It was a small wedding with family and friends from South Africa (my friend's side) and the USA (her husband's side), and it was so special. It's literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and Nick. Do what makes YOU TWO happy 🙂 P.S. Me: This year feels like it's been more rough on my mental health than the last two years. I think it's a combination of what's happening in global news, readjusting to a new hybrid work system (two days at the office and three days from home) and just trying to go back to life as it was in general, but so many things have changed. I seem to be struggling to adapt more to the "normal" way of doing things than I did to dealing with lockdowns. It's weird, but it is what it is. In happier news, my mom and I finally got to go on our trip to Edinburgh and surrounds! We landed back in SA yesterday. We were supposed to go in 2020, but the flights were cancelled etc. It was definitely worth the wait though. It was AMAZING and so special to show my mom the places I love so dearly (I had a working-holiday in Edinburgh in 2008 that changed my life).
Your videos always make my day so much better! Lately I have been staying home with my 1 year old daughter and 8 year old son getting ready to move my little family so I can go back to university!
I got engaged in 2021 and getting married this December. I'm also 2/3 through my teaching degree. I'm really wanting to get excited about my wedding, graduating, doing life etc. but the cost of living situation and just general news going on atm has really been getting me down. I am struggling to stay positive, even though I know I have a lot to be thankful for, and that's generally me since the start of covid. Love your videos and how honest and real you are xx
You won’t regret doing a small wedding that is your dream!!! Go for it! We didn’t want a church wedding, we found a darling bookstore with a garden wedding setup, was perfect!! 30 years married two weeks from now 💚 remember it’s for you two more than anyone else !!! About your videos, I don’t need perfect as long as you are having fun 🥰
my boyfriend is currently deployed in the phillipines for 3 months as hes in the navy so just tying to find things to do and going into second year of uni in september!very excited
Jazz, I completely agree that you need to do the wedding you want and not people pleasing… I mean usually you only want to do it once so do it the way you want!! And to answer your question.. I’ve been busy! I became a mum to twin boys 5 weeks ago so currently managing motherhood! It’s been a dream of mine and I’m loving every minute x
I have to say I love when I see you post. I think you are brilliant for taking the time out to sort your mental health. I had my 1st baby on Christmas Day 2020 right In the middle of covid. It's been amazing to see things getting back to normal, so I can do the things you always think you will when u have a baby. I got married in 2019 and I think you are right. Do what you want and if someone can't make it don't be stressing. We invited who we wanted there and had a small ceremony and lots more in the evening and don't regret a thing.
Hello! It always brings me joy when I see a new video of yours has posted!! Currently in life I became a teacher this year and had 1st grade and second grade combined class, and found out I will be teaching kindergarten next year, which is exciting. But the most exciting thing is I start summer break after our last day of summer school tomorrow!
I know how you feel about mental health as my own went down hill during lockdown, I’m still dealing with it and I have just managed to get a routine for to feel better and to be more productive. I’ve passed my first year at Northumbria University and I am still getting used to the grading system as I am used to Scotland’s grading systems not England’s. I’ve been learning how to sign as it will be useful in later life, I’ve been back drawing and had family down from Scotland to see me in Newcastle and my gran loves your videos :) Stay happy and be yourself! You rock!! 🙃😊
Stop worrying about everyone else and forgetting that the wedding is supposed to be about you two! I was that way until a friend reminded me of that fact. After that the whole wedding planning got more fun because I was planning exactly what we wanted! 11 years later people still tell me they loved our wedding so much! It was small, 50 people and I regret nothing except not eating anything! We were STARVING lol. Plan for you and Nick, your friends and family will be happy because you both are happy 😍
My life right now basically is sleeping, eating, editing photos of lighting products for work, editing photos of the wedding or concert variety in my free time...oh, and of course different bathroom activities. 😁 Your videos always are nice in the background during all the editing.
Your wedding is about you, make it special. In what ever way resonates with you and Nick! I eloped to Positano Italy and only had to pay for the dress/suit, photographer and officiant... When we came back we had a party with family and friends to celebrate and it was amazing. Best of both worlds 😉
You shouldn't be worried about posting so much because we enjoy all the content you give us and we get that you're busy and have issues as everyone else has. I know what is like to go through a rollercoaster regarding health issues and I know how hard it can be to deal with them, so take good care of yourself and try to leave some time to relax, get some rest and do things you really enjoy (outside of social media if possible) so you will feel better and have a better mental health.
Jazzy, I got diagnosed with chiari malformation within the last few years too. Get yourself naproxen, not sure what the UK has but Aleve has it or you can buy straight naproxen, at least In the US. It’s literally my life saver within 30mins when I’m down with a migraine. Btw, you are amazing 💕
Hi there Jazzy! You and Nick do what you want - no exceptions. I rented out an entire rural bed & breakfast for a weekend, only immediate family. Extended fam was a little mad, but it’s what we wanted. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done. ❤️
Hi Jazz! Absolutely love your videos. I got married 3 weeks ago I had had a very small wedding, it was only my mum and dad, my in-laws, sister and boyfriend and husband of course 😊. I initially wanted a big wedding, and I thought I'm going to regret doing a small one, but we did it for the budget as we didn't have to much money. It was the best thing we ever decided. We loved our small wedding. Mental health wise, not so great but we are getting there. Love you x
My hubby and I got married in Las Vegas nearly 24 years ago. We had a dozen friends with us. Neither of us has ever regretted not having a big wedding/reception. We used the money we saved to build a deck on our house. 😄 A beach wedding sounds lovely!
I love your enthusiasm for the ice cream DIY. It makes me want to try it. I'm going out tomorrow to buy the ingredients, thanks Jasmine. Tour so right, your wedding means your way. Reception is for your support and guests, the wedding is for you and Nick. Just my humble opinion, 😌 😉. I wanted to share some exciting news, my youngest as just graduated grade 12. His future plans are to get into broadcasting and voice over work. I'm very proud, he reminds me a lot of you. This year is flying by as you said, I can't believe we are already in July. Wish me good luck on making my ice creams, please. Love you kiddo.
Love seeing your videos. So glad you are getting back on track with everything. Your hair looks amazing. You could totally wear that hair-do for your wedding! Gorgeous!!! Can't wait for the next video 💗
Ah jazzy this was the sweetest video. I just love hearing how you’re doing and these chatty vlogs. I’m doing okay, I’ve been working a lot, like my therapist thinks I may be working too much but I am so broke that I need to, so my mental health has been better but little things like this vlog make me feel like I’m not so alone
Jazzy, I’m getting married in September. And what I’ve learnt from the planning is do what you want. It’s your wedding (and Nick’s), it’s your day no one else’s so do your dream and whoever can be there great, whoever can’t oh well ❤️
I've never commented, but I'm always so excited to see you've uploaded! And I was thrilled when you guys got engaged. 💍 (Side note, been married almost 5 years - July 8th- and I completely quit wearing my ring 2 or 3 years ago...🤷♀️ I had stopped while I was pregnant with my 1st, but then I've left it in the box since.
Do it hunny trust me we just come back from a TUI wedding in Cyprus with our friends and it was amazing and the people that wanted to be there came and made the effort it's your wedding and the people that want to be at your wedding will be there xxxx
Honey about your wedding, do what you want to do. You are so right, it’s your guys wedding and you should do what makes you happy. An idea could be to maybe have some sort of dinner thing when you get back to celebrate with the people who couldn’t make it to your wedding. That way everybody gets a chance to celebrate you guys❤️
I love to see you back to posting & trying out recipes. I totally understand needing to take a break too. You've been through a lot since the pandemic and I think we've all been thrown off of our regular schedules a bit. Don't stress about not posting much lately, your health is always #1. Congrats again on your engagement, yall make a beautiful couple! 💙💙
Hi Jazzy, hope you and nick are all well. Just gotten back from a scout camp and was doing lots of zip lining it was amazing. My scout leader scared us all by saying he had to leave early for work and he scared us all by dressing in all black and putting on a Michael Myers mask. We knew it was him and told him to get a new mask after a few choice swear words. My friends from scouts and I basically quoted Still Game (funny Scottish show on Netflix highly recommended) the entire time. I’m away on holiday with my friend to Campbeltown on the other side of the Isle of Arran in Scotland which is exiting. Exams finished in May I sat a National 5, a Higher and Advanced Higher through the SQA. Good Luck with all the wedding planning and wishing you both the best. - Erin Xx
Hey Jazz, I love that you are so open and honest and real. Life here in Iowa has been a treat. My son turned one and my daughter turned 3. Things are getting better some days are up some are down, I am in therapy and working on my mental health as well! Happy day!
Hey Jazzy! I havent been up to too much other than i had my baby girl in January of this year so i have not been AS PRESENT and definitely have not been commenting like i used too. I think u deserve every bit of a dream wedding and having been there i will safely say DO IT. You will ALWAYS remember that day and u want the best possible memories. Those who want to and can be there will and you will love being surrounded by pure love and joy. I am so happy for you both. Much love
I just love watching your videos. They are wholesome and uplifting. You and nick are so cute as a couple. I am so excited you are engaged. My partner and I are going on a road trip across country with our dogs in 2 weeks. I’m so excited. We live in Canada and are driving to the east coast. Nova Scotia and PEI for 3 weeks.
My husband and I got married I las Vegas in spring 2020 right before covid hit. We're from Germany. The only guests that we had were my parents and 2 of my closest friends, and it was the best wedding we could imagine. My sister and my husbands family couldn't come excuse of their kids and that was fine. But it was OUR wedding and it was perfect. You guys should do whatever you like, it's your day. You're not supposed to please your family or guests. Do what feels right for you 🥰
I am so in the same boat with the wedding! We were thinking of getting married abroad but stopped because I also felt awful making people pay. But you’re so right, if they want to be there they will be there!
Struggling with having Multiple Sclerosis (diagnosed a year ago).. because my husband decided .. after 20 years..he didn't want to be with me anymore... so stress is a huge trigger for my condition.. so this year has been pretty crap!! But it helps to watch your smiling face...and I can escape just for a bit!!!
Jazz it's great to see you back online I would like to say this was one of your best video's you just went with it as said what you wanted to say good on you also great that you added why you haven't been filming etc so everyone now knows power to you Jazz can't wait to see more I to have mental health. From NEW ZEALAND ❤️ Congratulations to you both aswell 🎊🎉💯👏
I don't comment often but hearing you talk about health was therapeutic. I've had the worst health since Covid and majority of it wasn't even Covid related. I fully understand - I'm still finding my way through it. Everyone who is worth having in your life will be understanding. You are the only person who will ever truly put yourself first. So take care of yourself!
The last 2.5 years have been absolutely horrible for me but still looking for the good things & happy moments. My dad died, another person I loved dearly died, I lost my job & my health (diagnosed with an ongoing illness that has no solutions). But I'm still going forward! It's been fun to see your videos & exciting engagement news. Hugs from America! ❤️
I've had my 50th birthday and a party and now on crutches as fell down some stairs after my party lol. I've been to Morocco, marrakesh for a holiday. Nice to see you again xx
Hi Jazz, always lovely to spend a "day" with you. I've too been feeling like I can't get moving along again since 2020. My children are getting older (22, 18, 13) and I feel lost! Who am I, what am I doing, etc. So happy for you and Nick ❤️ much love xx
Hey Jazz, I really hope you're doing well. Mental health is a huge struggle, so I'm sending you my love. I've been really struggling for the last year. Got to "that" stage recently, so trying really hard to fight against my brain. I have a few lifelong illnesses (POTS, MCAS, IBD mainly), but mental health is an illness like no other. Been having a terrible flare, and feeling very alone. I know it means nothing coming from me - but as someone who is going a tough time, I just wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job. Yes, we'd all love videos every day, but we also all know that life is life, and it's precious. We'd rather you be happy in life than stress about us. Lots of love, and best of luck with everything. Xoxo
Love you and Nick. I got married 8 yrs ago on a Wednesday rather than a Saturday. Was £7000 cheaper. We had a small intimate wedding with just 25 people including us. Best way to have it in our opinion.
2022 has def been the best year yet for me. After struggling with infertility for the past 4 years we finally are expecting our miracle baby this November!!!!
Sounds like you’ve really been dealing with a lot mentally and physically with all of that, so pleased for you for feeling like you’re on the other side, hopefully I’ll get there soon 🙏
love the video jazzy, all the ice-cream you made it looks yummy hair is very nice and makeup to hope you both have a great day out can't wait to see the rest of your videos. x ♥️
Super late to the party. But if you read this, do what YOU want for your wedding. It's about you two and your union. It's soooo much easier to focus on a small group that have your best interests at heart anyways. I just got married. On a beach. With 10 other people including the photographer and the marriage commissioner in attendance. It was beautiful and I loved it. We filmed it and posted it on fb for people to watch if they wanted. I regret nothing.
Watching your videos are honestly like chatting with a friend you are honestly brilliant 😊 and don't worry upload your videos whenever you feel is best for you because we love watching and love you no matter what 😊 Onto how my life is going, it's going okay. Work has been crazy busy, I work in Primark so dealing with customers is always fun lol but i try my hardest each day to keep going and to keep smiling 😁 and my anxiety has been playing up but i try my best to manage it. Your the best Jazzy thank you for being you 🥰
Missed Vloggy Jazzy ❤️ I love Wild deodorant, fresh cotton is my fave. You can get even more use out of them if you remove the carton in the end and pop it on top of the new one. Mine last me almost 6 months! And I use it twice a day.
I’m so happy to see Jaz back again. This channel is such a safe space and Jaz honestly feels like a friend at this point. I hugely relate to the procrastination problem though, I have ADHD so procrastination is almost part of my daily routine at this point. I’m actually procrastinating by watching this video 😅 what a nightmare… Oh well that’s a problem for future me! Glad you’re back, it’s not easy to get back into the swing of things when you’ve gotten into a slump so yay! ☺️
We did that same thing. We wanted a beach wedding. We of course invited a load of people. But nearly none came. And we were not at all upset about it. It was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The most important people were there and that is all we cared about. You do You! And yes! Zero wedding preparation headaches once there. They do it alllll for you. You just have to show up.
Hi Jazz 👋🏻. I haven’t been too great mentally but I am about to have a few exciting things coming up so that’s good. I’ve got a new student day at my collage in five days, I’ll be turning 16 in just over a week and starting collage in September. So very exciting things coming my way 🙌🏻
Definitely have the wedding you and Nick want even if it's just you and your families. You can always have a reception party to celebrate with everyone else at a later date.
I so feel for you I have chiari malformation those headaches arw the worst had brain surgery in 2003 and have sringomyelia aswell I truly hope your dealing with it ok, if you need time out take it and dont be lifting or pulling heavy things xx
Hey Jazzy, great to see you back and congrats on the engagement. Me and my fiancé have been together for 12 years in August and engaged for five but still not married ( weddings as you mentioned are very expensive and covid hasn’t helped). I feel exactly the same about how time has flown by. I had my daughter in 2020 and can’t believe she is gonna be two in a few months. Also just started my last year of PhD in molecular bioscience investigating rare diseases so a bit of a stressful time at the moment. Thanks again for the videos, they always make me smile and a bit of me time once baby is asleep is a lifesaver 😅.
Have you tried using the 'focus' app. Helps me get work done. A timer ticking that seems to enable-keep going. A short breaks included and then a longer break
I have been diagnosed with TMJ too and I feel your pain, I am waiting to see a specialist about having my discs replaced as mine are severely disintegrated, I can’t open my jaw very far as the pain is excruciating, I do suffer with Arthritis so this is a contributing factor too. Xxx
Definitely do the dream beach wedding. The ones closest to you i.e parents, siblings, best friends I'm sure will be there given enough notice to book it and pay. Weddings are often made to be about everyone else and end up costing you a fortune and aren't really that intimate in the end. Me and my fiance have been together 11 and a half years, engaged for 2 years. We were looking at venues here and for 100 people it was coming in at around 7 or 8 grand and that's just the venues, no dress, suits, catering etc etc. I think we wanna do something smaller and intimate too that's actually about us. I love your vlogs, main channel videos and tiktoks. Hair is stunning BTW. Xx
Hey Jaz, love your channel!!! If you want a beach wedding then do it! If you would want to people please than when you get back throw a party where everyone who couldn't come to the beach wedding can attend! Just a thought xx
Hi, first, congratulations on your engagement! I'm very happy for both of you. We are doing well here, both my husband and I were able to stay working through the Pandemic. Our oldest did graduate in May 2020, which was different but they were able to have a graduation ceremony. We have lost our mothers within 6 months of each other, not due to covid. It's been rough here and there but overall it's been nice to go out without a mask on. 😷 Have a great day 😀
Hey! I’m glad you’re doing better, I think I’m doing better too. I’ve just finished school and finals (ugh), but it looks like I did ok :) I’m going to my friends lake in a few hours so that should be fun, anyways happy to see you and again congrats on the engagement!
We love chaotic, non perfect, unedited Jazzy!! Don't stress yourself on editing out parts you don't think viewers will like. We will love it all 🥰
Yes, have the wedding that you want to have. Obviously being considerate of others and their needs is great but ultimately it’s you and Nicks special day and that’s what matters most.
We wanted a donut cake (layers of donuts to look like a cake) and our families through a fit that we weren’t having a traditional cake. So we ordered a 3 tier cake and 4 days before the wedding the bakery canceled it. I was so frustrated, no one could make a cake that last minute or if they could it would cost a fortune. The night before the wedding I went to the local grocery store and bought 4 dozen donuts and a tiny cake, arranged them on a tiered cupcake stand with the small cake on top to do the traditional cutting and had the donut cake we originally wanted. Do what you want and let the haters get over it.
Ps. Not a single person complained about the donuts while they were enjoying them
You really hit the nail on the head about it, still feeling like 2020. It has gone by quick, but feels slow. I'm just glad someone is on my wave length 😌 🙂
We’re just getting back to normal life too! We had so much happen in the last couple years. I had a baby in 2020 then broke my ankle, my husband went through a big depression and got diagnosed with autism last year plus multiple health issues for us both. Things are finally starting to look up again though! I’m glad you’re getting back to normal too! ❤️
Your mindset about this is my dream wedding despite what others want you to do is spot on. Everything we wanted my future in-laws were shooting down despite them not paying for a thing. We’re still getting the wedding we want but I too wanted a simple wedding at a resort that would have been at least half the cost. I too am working on people pleasing and it can be so taxing and anxiety inducing. At the end of the day the ones who most want to be there will be and you will regret not getting the special day you wanted to please someone who will barely remember the day. You’re on the right track keep going ❤️
Jazzy I’m so sorry you’re dealing with these health issues. My boyfriend has TMJ and migraine issues and I’ve had my share of things over the last few years too. I had to have one of my ovaries removed in 2019 because my fallopian tube got twisted around it and it ended up dying before they could get in and untwist it in time. Last year l had to have surgery a couple of times due some stuff going on with my kidney/ureter. Trying to stay positive and mentally healthy when it feels like you are getting hit with one thing after another is so difficult and thank you for sharing your struggles with us. That’s one reason we love you. You are authentically yourself and keep it real with us. Post as much or as little as you feel like you can. We will be here to watch 💜
My partner and I have chosen to get married abroad - we invited everyone we love and said we did not expect anyone to come and totally understood about the cost / time off etc. and life commitments but of course we would LOVES to have them there. We have 25 people coming out and I am so so excited. We got engaged 3 years ago (pre covid) and are getting married next April ❤ can't wait to see you document wedding planning xxx
I also have Chiari, 15 years now. I completely understand everything you’re going through and then some, I also have Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and Multiple Sclerosis. I promise that there will be tough times but with your positive outlook you’ll do great, because I have the same outlook too!
I am here i am here! How can we miss a jazzy premiere!
I love this vibe for you, so cute and real! Glad you’re okay 🥰 watched you for years snd love this growth for you 🥰🥰
It is so great seeing you. You're a ray of Sunshine that brightens my day. My Husband likes seeing you and Nick too. We love you Guys.
Hey Jaz! Haven’t commented in a good while but your whole “I pay attention” speech has seemed to have sold me 😂💗 I just got accepted to write and direct our school play this year, the first one since Covid! Obviously super excited, and I can’t wait to watch you and Nick on your wedding journey, been here for long time now so it’s absolutely incredible to have seen you both completely blossom together 🥺💕
I totally relate, I've been chronically ill my entire life, I have always had severe body pain since my first memory in life along with other debilitating health conditions. I also have a condition that gives me the worst migraines that leave me bedridden for a few days at a time, its a neurological condition that basically gives me all the same symptoms as someone with brain cancer but without tumors or cancer, its called a pseudo tumor cerebral. I totally understand how hard it is to keep to a set uploading schedule when you don't feel well. Sending hugs and lots of love your way Jazzy 💛
My mental health hasn't been great recently because my emotional support dog got cancer and passed a month ago so this year hasn't been great but my son and I are writing a book together which is the one good thing that is helping me get through my grief.
Loved this video Jazz always the best day when you post!
Have your dream wedding! Everyone will be so happy for you to be happy! Take care in the journey through recovering from the last 2+ years, so rough for the whole world and a million thanks for shining such bright light with your amazing content!
Jazz, you're a chronie (chronically ill!) you're allowed to take some time to come to terms with that and realise you can't always 'just do it'. Don't take this as me being patronising, I'm almost 36 and it took me 15 years to learn my limits and be OK with the facts that sometimes I won't be able to keep that commitment, or even just get showered and dressed! Please don't put pressure on yourself just for us, we will watch when you feel OK to post. True subscribers will be happy when you manage to post and anyone who says otherwise/badgers you for not uploading isn't worth having as a subscriber anyway 😊 🥰
Another Chronie here! I started being symptomatic at 16… I’m now 30 🙈from the waist down my joints are pants, recently diagnosed fibromyalgia too xx
I'm chronically ill too, since I was a toddler actually. I have had severe all over body pain since my first memories in life, took 20 years to get a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia as the cause. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 4. I have multiple other medical issues too, plus trauma PTSD from abuse I went through as a child. I was 33 when I finally came to terms with my health. I recently had to say goodbye to my emotional support dog so my mental health isn't real great right now but I'm doing my best to get through a day at a time. I think the best thing we can do is allow ourselves time to rest in between trying to accomplish our goals and/or daily tasks.
Another fellow chronie here also. I was diagnosed with RA as a young teen, along with migraine disorder, and fibromyalgia. Then later due to a domestic assault/attempted homocide I ended up with PTSD and CRPS from some of the extensive injuries. It’s taken me ages to realize sometimes I just can’t albeit I still struggle like Jazzy with wanting to people please that I developed due to trauma:abuse growing up. It’s hard to do it even after ages of going through it. So it’s so good to see other chronies coming together to remind her that it IS okay to miss a post especially on a no spoons day. So proud of the strength in each and every one of y’all! 💕
Me too. 🙋♀️
Me too! I'm 57 now and I've had chronic pain and illness since my kids were still in school. Always take care of yourself first!!! We will be here. 💕
My great nephew was just diagnosed with chiari malformation. Unfortunately, at his latest MRI they also found a tumor. It's a watch and wait situation. Your videos make me so happy. Thanks for being so genuine! ❤
I love you with brown hair you look so pretty 😍. Don't feel bad about taking a break we all need one sometimes
Friends of mine got married in Bali. It was a small wedding with family and friends from South Africa (my friend's side) and the USA (her husband's side), and it was so special. It's literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and Nick. Do what makes YOU TWO happy 🙂
P.S. Me: This year feels like it's been more rough on my mental health than the last two years. I think it's a combination of what's happening in global news, readjusting to a new hybrid work system (two days at the office and three days from home) and just trying to go back to life as it was in general, but so many things have changed. I seem to be struggling to adapt more to the "normal" way of doing things than I did to dealing with lockdowns. It's weird, but it is what it is.
In happier news, my mom and I finally got to go on our trip to Edinburgh and surrounds! We landed back in SA yesterday. We were supposed to go in 2020, but the flights were cancelled etc. It was definitely worth the wait though. It was AMAZING and so special to show my mom the places I love so dearly (I had a working-holiday in Edinburgh in 2008 that changed my life).
Your videos always make my day so much better! Lately I have been staying home with my 1 year old daughter and 8 year old son getting ready to move my little family so I can go back to university!
I got engaged in 2021 and getting married this December. I'm also 2/3 through my teaching degree. I'm really wanting to get excited about my wedding, graduating, doing life etc. but the cost of living situation and just general news going on atm has really been getting me down. I am struggling to stay positive, even though I know I have a lot to be thankful for, and that's generally me since the start of covid. Love your videos and how honest and real you are xx
You won’t regret doing a small wedding that is your dream!!! Go for it! We didn’t want a church wedding, we found a darling bookstore with a garden wedding setup, was perfect!! 30 years married two weeks from now 💚 remember it’s for you two more than anyone else !!! About your videos, I don’t need perfect as long as you are having fun 🥰
my boyfriend is currently deployed in the phillipines for 3 months as hes in the navy so just tying to find things to do and going into second year of uni in september!very excited
Jazz, I completely agree that you need to do the wedding you want and not people pleasing… I mean usually you only want to do it once so do it the way you want!! And to answer your question.. I’ve been busy! I became a mum to twin boys 5 weeks ago so currently managing motherhood! It’s been a dream of mine and I’m loving every minute x
I have felt so much better letting go finally of people pleasing, it makes you feel so much better!
I have to say I love when I see you post. I think you are brilliant for taking the time out to sort your mental health. I had my 1st baby on Christmas Day 2020 right In the middle of covid. It's been amazing to see things getting back to normal, so I can do the things you always think you will when u have a baby. I got married in 2019 and I think you are right. Do what you want and if someone can't make it don't be stressing. We invited who we wanted there and had a small ceremony and lots more in the evening and don't regret a thing.
Hello! It always brings me joy when I see a new video of yours has posted!! Currently in life I became a teacher this year and had 1st grade and second grade combined class, and found out I will be teaching kindergarten next year, which is exciting. But the most exciting thing is I start summer break after our last day of summer school tomorrow!
Hi jazz, I passed my driving test last week which is the best thing ever and I love the independence.
I’m watching at 12:40am as I can’t sleep as I’m in pain so thanks for this it relay helped me forget about the pain 🥰 xx
I know how you feel about mental health as my own went down hill during lockdown, I’m still dealing with it and I have just managed to get a routine for to feel better and to be more productive.
I’ve passed my first year at Northumbria University and I am still getting used to the grading system as I am used to Scotland’s grading systems not England’s.
I’ve been learning how to sign as it will be useful in later life, I’ve been back drawing and had family down from Scotland to see me in Newcastle and my gran loves your videos :)
Stay happy and be yourself! You rock!! 🙃😊
Loved this chatty vlog, Jazz!!! It's so nice to just relax with you in the background 🖤
Stop worrying about everyone else and forgetting that the wedding is supposed to be about you two! I was that way until a friend reminded me of that fact. After that the whole wedding planning got more fun because I was planning exactly what we wanted! 11 years later people still tell me they loved our wedding so much! It was small, 50 people and I regret nothing except not eating anything! We were STARVING lol. Plan for you and Nick, your friends and family will be happy because you both are happy 😍
My life right now basically is sleeping, eating, editing photos of lighting products for work, editing photos of the wedding or concert variety in my free time...oh, and of course different bathroom activities. 😁 Your videos always are nice in the background during all the editing.
Your wedding is about you, make it special. In what ever way resonates with you and Nick! I eloped to Positano Italy and only had to pay for the dress/suit, photographer and officiant... When we came back we had a party with family and friends to celebrate and it was amazing. Best of both worlds 😉
You shouldn't be worried about posting so much because we enjoy all the content you give us and we get that you're busy and have issues as everyone else has. I know what is like to go through a rollercoaster regarding health issues and I know how hard it can be to deal with them, so take good care of yourself and try to leave some time to relax, get some rest and do things you really enjoy (outside of social media if possible) so you will feel better and have a better mental health.
Jazzy, I got diagnosed with chiari malformation within the last few years too. Get yourself naproxen, not sure what the UK has but Aleve has it or you can buy straight naproxen, at least In the US. It’s literally my life saver within 30mins when I’m down with a migraine. Btw, you are amazing 💕
Hi there Jazzy! You and Nick do what you want - no exceptions. I rented out an entire rural bed & breakfast for a weekend, only immediate family. Extended fam was a little mad, but it’s what we wanted. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done. ❤️
Hi Jazz! Absolutely love your videos. I got married 3 weeks ago I had had a very small wedding, it was only my mum and dad, my in-laws, sister and boyfriend and husband of course 😊. I initially wanted a big wedding, and I thought I'm going to regret doing a small one, but we did it for the budget as we didn't have to much money. It was the best thing we ever decided. We loved our small wedding. Mental health wise, not so great but we are getting there. Love you x
My hubby and I got married in Las Vegas nearly 24 years ago. We had a dozen friends with us. Neither of us has ever regretted not having a big wedding/reception. We used the money we saved to build a deck on our house. 😄 A beach wedding sounds lovely!
I love your enthusiasm for the ice cream DIY. It makes me want to try it. I'm going out tomorrow to buy the ingredients, thanks Jasmine. Tour so right, your wedding means your way. Reception is for your support and guests, the wedding is for you and Nick. Just my humble opinion, 😌 😉. I wanted to share some exciting news, my youngest as just graduated grade 12. His future plans are to get into broadcasting and voice over work. I'm very proud, he reminds me a lot of you. This year is flying by as you said, I can't believe we are already in July. Wish me good luck on making my ice creams, please. Love you kiddo.
Love seeing your videos. So glad you are getting back on track with everything. Your hair looks amazing. You could totally wear that hair-do for your wedding! Gorgeous!!! Can't wait for the next video 💗
Take care of yourself that’s what is so important! You and your health is the most important
Going to make the ice cream myself xx
Ah jazzy this was the sweetest video. I just love hearing how you’re doing and these chatty vlogs. I’m doing okay, I’ve been working a lot, like my therapist thinks I may be working too much but I am so broke that I need to, so my mental health has been better but little things like this vlog make me feel like I’m not so alone
Jazzy, I’m getting married in September. And what I’ve learnt from the planning is do what you want. It’s your wedding (and Nick’s), it’s your day no one else’s so do your dream and whoever can be there great, whoever can’t oh well ❤️
Totally agree! I got married in 2019 and the BEST bit of advise was ‘just be a cow, it’s your day so do what you want!’
Love your videos Jaz always make me smile I’ve missed a few as I’ve had a son whose now 9 weeks old
I've never commented, but I'm always so excited to see you've uploaded! And I was thrilled when you guys got engaged. 💍 (Side note, been married almost 5 years - July 8th- and I completely quit wearing my ring 2 or 3 years ago...🤷♀️ I had stopped while I was pregnant with my 1st, but then I've left it in the box since.
Do it hunny trust me we just come back from a TUI wedding in Cyprus with our friends and it was amazing and the people that wanted to be there came and made the effort it's your wedding and the people that want to be at your wedding will be there xxxx
Honey about your wedding, do what you want to do. You are so right, it’s your guys wedding and you should do what makes you happy. An idea could be to maybe have some sort of dinner thing when you get back to celebrate with the people who couldn’t make it to your wedding. That way everybody gets a chance to celebrate you guys❤️
I love to see you back to posting & trying out recipes. I totally understand needing to take a break too. You've been through a lot since the pandemic and I think we've all been thrown off of our regular schedules a bit. Don't stress about not posting much lately, your health is always #1. Congrats again on your engagement, yall make a beautiful couple! 💙💙
Hi Jazzy, hope you and nick are all well. Just gotten back from a scout camp and was doing lots of zip lining it was amazing. My scout leader scared us all by saying he had to leave early for work and he scared us all by dressing in all black and putting on a Michael Myers mask. We knew it was him and told him to get a new mask after a few choice swear words. My friends from scouts and I basically quoted Still Game (funny Scottish show on Netflix highly recommended) the entire time. I’m away on holiday with my friend to Campbeltown on the other side of the Isle of Arran in Scotland which is exiting. Exams finished in May I sat a National 5, a Higher and Advanced Higher through the SQA.
Good Luck with all the wedding planning and wishing you both the best.
- Erin Xx
Been counting down till now!! Been watching Jaz for years now! Love it! 💜💜💜
Hey Jazz, I love that you are so open and honest and real. Life here in Iowa has been a treat. My son turned one and my daughter turned 3. Things are getting better some days are up some are down, I am in therapy and working on my mental health as well! Happy day!
Hey Jazzy! I havent been up to too much other than i had my baby girl in January of this year so i have not been AS PRESENT and definitely have not been commenting like i used too. I think u deserve every bit of a dream wedding and having been there i will safely say DO IT. You will ALWAYS remember that day and u want the best possible memories. Those who want to and can be there will and you will love being surrounded by pure love and joy. I am so happy for you both. Much love
I just love watching your videos. They are wholesome and uplifting. You and nick are so cute as a couple. I am so excited you are engaged. My partner and I are going on a road trip across country with our dogs in 2 weeks. I’m so excited. We live in Canada and are driving to the east coast. Nova Scotia and PEI for 3 weeks.
My husband and I got married I las Vegas in spring 2020 right before covid hit. We're from Germany. The only guests that we had were my parents and 2 of my closest friends, and it was the best wedding we could imagine. My sister and my husbands family couldn't come excuse of their kids and that was fine. But it was OUR wedding and it was perfect. You guys should do whatever you like, it's your day. You're not supposed to please your family or guests. Do what feels right for you 🥰
I am so in the same boat with the wedding! We were thinking of getting married abroad but stopped because I also felt awful making people pay. But you’re so right, if they want to be there they will be there!
Oh yay I just opened yt to see if there's anything interesting and was very excited to see a new Jazzy video! 🎉
Struggling with having Multiple Sclerosis (diagnosed a year ago).. because my husband decided .. after 20 years..he didn't want to be with me anymore... so stress is a huge trigger for my condition.. so this year has been pretty crap!! But it helps to watch your smiling face...and I can escape just for a bit!!!
I love your vlogs. I feel like this is a really feel good channel. You seem like such lovely people.
Jazz it's great to see you back online I would like to say this was one of your best video's you just went with it as said what you wanted to say good on you also great that you added why you haven't been filming etc so everyone now knows power to you Jazz can't wait to see more I to have mental health. From NEW ZEALAND ❤️ Congratulations to you both aswell 🎊🎉💯👏
I don't comment often but hearing you talk about health was therapeutic. I've had the worst health since Covid and majority of it wasn't even Covid related. I fully understand - I'm still finding my way through it. Everyone who is worth having in your life will be understanding. You are the only person who will ever truly put yourself first. So take care of yourself!
The last 2.5 years have been absolutely horrible for me but still looking for the good things & happy moments. My dad died, another person I loved dearly died, I lost my job & my health (diagnosed with an ongoing illness that has no solutions). But I'm still going forward! It's been fun to see your videos & exciting engagement news. Hugs from America! ❤️
I've had my 50th birthday and a party and now on crutches as fell down some stairs after my party lol. I've been to Morocco, marrakesh for a holiday. Nice to see you again xx
So glad your back you’re health is what’s more important.
Hi Jazz, always lovely to spend a "day" with you. I've too been feeling like I can't get moving along again since 2020. My children are getting older (22, 18, 13) and I feel lost! Who am I, what am I doing, etc. So happy for you and Nick ❤️ much love xx
Hey Jazz, I really hope you're doing well. Mental health is a huge struggle, so I'm sending you my love. I've been really struggling for the last year. Got to "that" stage recently, so trying really hard to fight against my brain. I have a few lifelong illnesses (POTS, MCAS, IBD mainly), but mental health is an illness like no other. Been having a terrible flare, and feeling very alone. I know it means nothing coming from me - but as someone who is going a tough time, I just wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job. Yes, we'd all love videos every day, but we also all know that life is life, and it's precious. We'd rather you be happy in life than stress about us. Lots of love, and best of luck with everything. Xoxo
Love you and Nick. I got married 8 yrs ago on a Wednesday rather than a Saturday. Was £7000 cheaper. We had a small intimate wedding with just 25 people including us. Best way to have it in our opinion.
2022 has def been the best year yet for me. After struggling with infertility for the past 4 years we finally are expecting our miracle baby this November!!!!
You have brightened my day
First of all I LOVE your videos and second you just made me want Icecream🤤🤤🤤
Sounds like you’ve really been dealing with a lot mentally and physically with all of that, so pleased for you for feeling like you’re on the other side, hopefully I’ll get there soon 🙏
I need to try the ice creams they looked so good xx
Im so happy for you for trying to let go of the people pleasing nature! I am too recently! And I love it!
love the video jazzy, all the ice-cream you made it looks yummy hair is very nice and makeup to hope you both have a great day out can't wait to see the rest of your videos. x ♥️
Wooooo you’re back! We’ve been in the process of moving for monthssss and its so long winded waiting 😩😩😩
Super late to the party. But if you read this, do what YOU want for your wedding. It's about you two and your union. It's soooo much easier to focus on a small group that have your best interests at heart anyways.
I just got married. On a beach. With 10 other people including the photographer and the marriage commissioner in attendance. It was beautiful and I loved it. We filmed it and posted it on fb for people to watch if they wanted. I regret nothing.
Watching your videos are honestly like chatting with a friend you are honestly brilliant 😊 and don't worry upload your videos whenever you feel is best for you because we love watching and love you no matter what 😊 Onto how my life is going, it's going okay. Work has been crazy busy, I work in Primark so dealing with customers is always fun lol but i try my hardest each day to keep going and to keep smiling 😁 and my anxiety has been playing up but i try my best to manage it. Your the best Jazzy thank you for being you 🥰
Missed Vloggy Jazzy ❤️
I love Wild deodorant, fresh cotton is my fave.
You can get even more use out of them if you remove the carton in the end and pop it on top of the new one.
Mine last me almost 6 months! And I use it twice a day.
I’m so happy to see Jaz back again. This channel is such a safe space and Jaz honestly feels like a friend at this point. I hugely relate to the procrastination problem though, I have ADHD so procrastination is almost part of my daily routine at this point. I’m actually procrastinating by watching this video 😅 what a nightmare… Oh well that’s a problem for future me! Glad you’re back, it’s not easy to get back into the swing of things when you’ve gotten into a slump so yay! ☺️
Hi Jazz. Love seeing your reactions 😁. Good to have you back 🤗
We did that same thing. We wanted a beach wedding. We of course invited a load of people. But nearly none came. And we were not at all upset about it. It was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The most important people were there and that is all we cared about. You do You! And yes! Zero wedding preparation headaches once there. They do it alllll for you. You just have to show up.
Hi Jazz 👋🏻. I haven’t been too great mentally but I am about to have a few exciting things coming up so that’s good. I’ve got a new student day at my collage in five days, I’ll be turning 16 in just over a week and starting collage in September. So very exciting things coming my way 🙌🏻
Definitely have the wedding you and Nick want even if it's just you and your families. You can always have a reception party to celebrate with everyone else at a later date.
I so feel for you I have chiari malformation those headaches arw the worst had brain surgery in 2003 and have sringomyelia aswell I truly hope your dealing with it ok, if you need time out take it and dont be lifting or pulling heavy things xx
Hey Jazzy, great to see you back and congrats on the engagement. Me and my fiancé have been together for 12 years in August and engaged for five but still not married ( weddings as you mentioned are very expensive and covid hasn’t helped). I feel exactly the same about how time has flown by. I had my daughter in 2020 and can’t believe she is gonna be two in a few months. Also just started my last year of PhD in molecular bioscience investigating rare diseases so a bit of a stressful time at the moment. Thanks again for the videos, they always make me smile and a bit of me time once baby is asleep is a lifesaver 😅.
I got the normal fruit one :) I had it from the reduced to clear too 😂
Have you tried using the 'focus' app. Helps me get work done. A timer ticking that seems to enable-keep going. A short breaks included and then a longer break
You do what you feels best hunny ❤️
I might just try this ice cream 🙈🙈
I have been diagnosed with TMJ too and I feel your pain, I am waiting to see a specialist about having my discs replaced as mine are severely disintegrated, I can’t open my jaw very far as the pain is excruciating, I do suffer with Arthritis so this is a contributing factor too. Xxx
18:30 where did you get your necklace from being looking for one like it for ages
You making ice cream made me make an ice cream edible bowl 🥣 I’m definitely going to try to make Masson jar ice cream!!
Definitely do the dream beach wedding. The ones closest to you i.e parents, siblings, best friends I'm sure will be there given enough notice to book it and pay. Weddings are often made to be about everyone else and end up costing you a fortune and aren't really that intimate in the end. Me and my fiance have been together 11 and a half years, engaged for 2 years. We were looking at venues here and for 100 people it was coming in at around 7 or 8 grand and that's just the venues, no dress, suits, catering etc etc. I think we wanna do something smaller and intimate too that's actually about us. I love your vlogs, main channel videos and tiktoks. Hair is stunning BTW. Xx
Hi jazzy love you girl you always make me smile
Hey Jaz, love your channel!!! If you want a beach wedding then do it! If you would want to people please than when you get back throw a party where everyone who couldn't come to the beach wedding can attend! Just a thought xx
Hi, first, congratulations on your engagement! I'm very happy for both of you. We are doing well here, both my husband and I were able to stay working through the Pandemic. Our oldest did graduate in May 2020, which was different but they were able to have a graduation ceremony. We have lost our mothers within 6 months of each other, not due to covid. It's been rough here and there but overall it's been nice to go out without a mask on. 😷 Have a great day 😀
Congrats on the engagement Jazz and Nick 😀 Oohh that ice cream looked so good! Much love from NZ 😀
Hey! I’m glad you’re doing better, I think I’m doing better too. I’ve just finished school and finals (ugh), but it looks like I did ok :) I’m going to my friends lake in a few hours so that should be fun, anyways happy to see you and again congrats on the engagement!
Love Baking with Jazz :)
