We're overwhelmed with all you're comments! Thank you all so much for all the kind words and support and for sharing your own stories with us. We will be filming a Q&A this weekend so if you have questions please leave them on my Instagram Q&A post. If you don't follow me there, I'm @autumnbeckman
Congratulations 🥳. I think people forget that the wedding is just one day but marriage is for your lifetime. It’s not a competition for who can spend the most money in 24 hours. Your wedding was about the two of you which is how it should be.
Some people say “marriage is just a paper” but it’s much more than that: i always say, it makes the individuals legally responsible for one another. So whoever you marry has a huge responsibility and you literally put your life in their hands.
The similarities between us as couples and our wedding is uncanny! We have been living together for 11 years, we got married December 23rd, 2022 because Christmas is us. Our souvenirs are always a Christmas ornaments from wherever we travel, Christmas movies were watched everyday during the insanity of 202-2021. We did go to New Hampshire to one of our favorite getaway places, we live in Massachusetts. We were married in front of the fireplace where we were staying. Our best friend married us, we had a 30 minute ceremony. There were seven of us including our officiant (best friend), my daughter, granddaughter, his son and wife, and we had dinner together in the dining room. We had five small four inch tall cakes in different flavors based on everyone’s favorite flavor. It was absolutely perfectly special. They sat us at a round table, and the conversations every night were so special. Everyone stayed over for at least two nights, we stayed for six. I wouldn’t change a thing. Congratulations Autumn and Paul, from your wedding twins 😂
Autumn, (and Paul) I got teary eyed. I've been watching your videos for years now and feel like we're friends, I couldn't be more happy for you guys. We love Paul. And the bridal party, gorgeous maid of honor, and handsome groomsman. Congratulations to the happy couple. 🥂
I am so HAPPY for both of you! This is the sweetest wedding, from your mom marrying you to Roxy and Baron serving as Maid of Honor and Best Man to romantically choosing the first of the year to maintain your longstanding anniversary! Goodness! Sweetness and cuteness overflowing! Autumn and Paul, you both have such great chemistry on air, I can only imagine how much more so in-person! You both look so happy! Literally, friends in love! Autumn, beautiful dresses, beautiful shoes, beautiful rings; stunning! Paul looks so handsome! Your mom is just lovely as the mother-of-the-bride, and officiant! I love Roxy and Baron's outfits; adorable! Now, I think we need an updated vlog, "Not my husband, wait, he is my husband!" --any topic 😊All the BEST to you and Paul, and the entire family, ALWAYS! 💖🍷🍷
Woah, this was the LAST thing I was expecting to see! I’m happy for you ❤ Your wedding (even down to the cakes) seems so quintessentially ‘you’ and I love that! It’s unique and a story to tell forever. Congratulations 🎉
I smiled the whole way through this video. Massive congratulations to you and Paul, Autumn. So lovely to hear you got married and had a wedding on your own terms. 💐
Congratulations Autumn and hubby! I wouldn’t change a thing about how you’ve lived your lives for the past 11 years, it’s a formula that works. The pups were adorable! We had a super cheap wedding, less than 500$ too, and we’ve been together 31 years, no regrets!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, damn, Autumn! We're complete strangers, yet as one of your biggest (longtime) fans, I was a bit teary-eyed and grinning from ear to ear while watching this video. I'm so happy for both of you. Congratulations xoxo
Congratulations, Autumn! What a nice way to show that you can still have a meaningful ceremony without spending tens of thousands of dollars, which you can put towards your goals that really matter to you (like moving to Oregon). I will probably never get married, but if I were to, your ceremony/ honeymoon is exactly what I would want to do. Your bridal party was super-cute, too!
My husband and I are out celebrating our 21st anniversary. we both have grown families and started our lives together 21 years ago and have never been happier. We are having lunch and I just got message from TH-cam that one of my favorite channels has exciting news! Big Congratulations to you both!! I am so happy for you. I am a longtime subscriber but I seldom comment even though I watch all your videos. I am truly happy and excited for you and wish you a lifetime of love
🎉🎉🎉🎉Congratulations!!!! It’s never really the fanfare or how expensive a wedding that really matters… it’s the life you live and the love that you share with each other… 11 years is quite an achievement! You and Paul looked so FABULOUS!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations! I am so happy for you and Paul! You were certainly a beautiful bride! You did a fantastic job of planning things and pulling this together, and having your mom officiate was perfect! I have always thought that spending thousands on a wedding is insane. To me, weddings are about making an official commitment, that’s what’s important. You don’t need any of those frills because it’s all about what’s in your heart. And, when a couple has been together for so long, they usually have everything that they need, so all the money spent on a ceremony can go towards other things they want in their lives. I love the ring that Paul chose, and you picked great shoes that you will be able to wear on another occasion. The dress you wore in the video is every bit as nice as what you wore for the ceremony. I’m sure your sister will make you guys a spectacular cake!
Congrats! A 2nd marriage for both. Both had big weddings before. He is 10 years younger too! He asked on Thanksgiving and we married on December 21st, just recently celebrated our 10th anniversary! My dad always said "keep it simple" this time I could hear him saying it so I listened. We married on a hayfield that was on a mountain top he hayed. I was dressed in my best jeans and a pretty oversized white sweater and muck boots, him in his furry trapper hat and his farm overalls lol. There was a big bonfire to counter the weather that turned windy & rainy washing away the sunshine & snow cover of the day before, it didn't ruin anything... his mom made our 2 tier cake from a recipie that was my grandmother's. Had everyone back to our house that was all decked out in an ice blue Christmas theme, we had (9 adults, 5 kids) where his grandmother and my mom were waiting. My daughter was 8 months pregnant with our 1st grandchild who is almost 10 now and I always tease him that he was at our wedding lol. Local JP, his aunt was town clerk she paid for that area. Cost was under $150 and most was food so I did not have to cook. No stress and we are still very happily married now with 4 grandkids and their parents all under one roof! Best wishes to you both!
Gracious. This low key, ELEGANT wedding is the stuff of dreams. Seriously. People over do weddings so much, and it's so refreshing to see a lovely couple do it "big" and beautiful without going into debt. CONGRATULATIONS to the gorgeous bride and handsome groom! Many blessings upon you both.
Congrats to you and Paul, Autumn!!! For some reason, I'm not at all surprised you got married AND....you did it on a budget!!! You've seemed happier the last few months, especially with making plans to move to Portland, so why not take that step (right to your living room!) and tie the knot! Paul looked dapper and you looked radiant and gorgeous in that dress! Many more years together...make it so!
Can I just tell you HOW EXCITED I am for you two? Congratulations 🍾 🥂 I always hoped you two would end up together. You both are so special. Love your channel, your personalities and most of all your talent ❤
The best part of this wedding was the pups in attendance in all of there regalia. You were clever pulling this off so quickly and you looked stunning.This was a good decision. I am so happy for you.
For some reason when I watched your last video, I had the strangest feeling that you and Paul had gotten married. When I saw the thumbnail, I almost screamed!!! How wonderful!!! Paul is such a great guy, and I know that you will continue to be very happy. You both look so happy, and I’m glad that you had the opportunity to celebrate this wonderful day. What a great way to start 2023. Best wishes to you both!!❤️
Hey, filing taxes together is a perk for sure too! Getting married is smart. It will allow for either of you to access life insurance money easier also. I think you guys were very wise. And plus! You have a hubby now 😍 lol. You and Paul were made for each other, this is perfect.
I am so happy for you and Paul. What a delightful wedding. I have enjoyed your videos for so many years. During Covid shutdown, you were my go to channel for a comforting voice, familiar face and a touch of normalcy. May sound weird but you gave me hope that the world would get back to how it use to be pre-Covid. God bless you both with much happiness. ❤️
Congratulations, Paul and Autumn! As a devoted watcher, I am so excited for you. I wish you years of good health and happiness. Thank you for sharing your journey.
We had a super small wedding as well and we sped things up cause my Mother in law sold the townhouse that she and my fiancé were living in, so he had to move out anyway! Also wanted to say that yes with all the HIPA laws and healthcare disclosures, it is only getting tougher for non-spouse couples to have a say in each others care should one partner be incapacitated. There are definitely situations where a person is too ill to make medical decisions and since you are not a legal guardian or spouse, they turn to that person‘s immediate family. And therefore there could be a sister or brother or uncle or parent of theirs, making serious medical decisions on their behalf, because you have no legal say in the matter. You sure don’t want to be facing that. Congrats by the way!! The doggies were adorable. 🎉
I love everything about this... Congratulations to you both! The video clips and pictures are precious! Thank you for sharing such a private, special moment with us!
Congratulations. I understand completely about health concerns. I'm 67 and my husband is 69. You don't think about this until something happens. In our case cancer. Thank God he survived but what a way to wake up to the fact that we got old.
My significant other is 20 years older than me. This year will be 10 years together and lived together for 6 years. Both went into the relationship not wanting kids or marriage. As we get older together… both still agree no kids but I do worry about medical issues coming up and I would not be able to be there in person to support or make decisions I know they would want. Our families are in good spirits with our relationship but you never know. Families attitude can change in an instant (I have seen it happen). He tries to assure me that won’t be the case. * My mind goes to… you don’t know what family thinks about us behind closed doors* Makes me nervous. Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤
Autumn, I would love if you shared what you've learned about how to prepare for times when you cannot medically speak for yourself, and the paperwork. I think this is so important, and has been on mind lately as well. I am so sorry to hear about your loved one who suffered a stroke, and the challenges his wife is facing. In addition to the beauty of your relationship with Paul, I think it was a super smart decision for both of you to marry for all the reasons you described. Life is often unpredictable and fleeting, but thankfully, life is mostly beautiful. Cherish every moment!
I am very happy for you both. I also had a budget wedding. It is not the amount of money spent that makes a good marriage but the amount of love and respect you have for each other. Congratulations!
Thank you for sharing these details! I have been married 3 times, all 3 have been super budget friendly. My dress for my first wedding was borrowed from a friend who had gotten married a couple of months before. The second and third wedding dresses were thrift store finds. I love hearing about other thrifty brides!
OHhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS Autumn and Paul! I am giddy with excitement! How amazing and it is lovely that you did not spend so much money on the wedding. If I ever marry (unlikely!) my wedding will be very much like yours! Just the sort of ceremony I would like for myself! You could not have found a better Best Man and Bridesmaid. They looked stunning also! Thank you for the video! Have an amazing day, an amazing week, and amazing year and a TOTALLY AMAZING Rest of Your Life! Lots of love! (Will Yota ever recover from the shock though?!)
Congratulations! I already watch your video twice. What a love story and wonderful wedding! Thanks for reminding us a wedding is a commitment to each other and not an event for the guests
How exciting! I love seeing Paul in your videos! Your choices for best man and maid of honor couldn’t have been any better! I loved your dress! Beautiful!!!
Congratulations Autumn & Paul! How lovely to do this your way - that what makes it special. And you had the most fabulous officiant, best man and maid of honour!! All the very best! 💕
Autumn and Paul , My daughter and I just saw the posting of your wedding and of course we were surprised as we have been watching you for a long time. I told Trisha I thought the reason you made this decision was exactly what you said. I have been concern that you both needed to be known as a couple so you would be able to make decisions for each other as needed. We are so happy for you and wish you nothing but happiness. CONGRATULATIONS ! Colleen and Patricia
Hi Autumn, Congrats. This was very inspirational. I got married in my parents living room and do not regret it to this day. You look beautiful and radiant.
Yay!! Congratulations! I respect when someone doesn’t want to get married (or have kids - we aren’t) but I love being married so this makes me happy haha. My husband and I got engaged on February 15th and married on March 13th… less than a month later. We did a small wedding (immediate family only, in a beautiful park by water) where my now brother in law took the photos, my friend officiated and we all just went out to dinner at the restaurant where my husband and I had our first date for the “reception”. We spent our money on our honeymoon!
Omg! I don’t know how I missed this video but congratulations! My boyfriend and I are planning to get married soon and I didn’t know what to do. We both have been married before and neither of us wanted a big expensive wedding so this gave me so many ideas. Thank you for sharing ❤
Congratulations! I think you got married for one of the most important reasons. You want the person you love to be there if anything happens. Great video!
Congratulations Autumn! I am happy that you shared with us that a wedding should reflect the bride and groom. You can have a memorable day without paying tens of thousands of dollars (unless you want to). I loved the dogs' outfits and how nice that your Mom could officiate. Wishing you all continued love and happiness ❤️
My husband of 39 years and I were married five months after our first date. We planned everything in less than 8 weeks, church ceremony with 125 guests. We did all the food ourselves, minus the cake. A ton of friends pitched in.
Thanks for sharing your big news. My husband and I had a similar style small living room wedding in November 2020. Our friend the officiant was ordained online too. We pushed up the date to facilitate buying the home we had shared for 17 years … as renters. So, $5 to $10k plus or wedding at home. I did my own flowers via Trader Joe’s, put family photos on shelves behind us, my mother in law’s engagement ring + Amazon rings, and as we had been planning to be married (similar reasons after many years together) I had a dress from Torrid and several other white dresses in closet that were on sale as options but went for tea length dress as home ceremony. Blue kitten heels from thrift store. Our dog wore a black bow tie as he was always clad in a tux … black with white chest… this was COVID era so no going out. Only regret no family from Midwest or long distance friends or family but videotaped ceremony on iPhone. Nor did we do a zoom wedding, discussed but we needed to pull the trigger in a short time. We may have an anniversary party at some point but not sure it’s worth the money. We are committed and happier to spend the money we had been saving on our house. We are similar in ages to you and in Southern California having the opportunity to own a home is so much more gratifying then a big one day party and all the likely stress I’d endure coordinating a wedding. Congratulations! ❤🧁🥂🍾
Got married 💑 New Years Eve & was blown away when Uncle Sam came calling. 😳 We never guessed how financially 💸 💰 detrimental that decision would be!! Good time 2 marry New Year’s Day!!
I love the way you went about doing your fast and inexpensive wedding! Everything seemed so sweet and it seemed more about you as a couple than the hoopla of a big flashy event. I've been with my partner for 17 years and I think if he and I ever decided to get married (I agree with your reasons and we are both in our 40s) then I think we would do something very similar. Thank you for sharing your special day and all the great tips with us! Huge congrats to you and Paul!
Well that was unexpected! Congratulations! Such smart reasoning. I had been wondering if you two were back together again. I remember you mentioning a year or two ago that Paul was no longer “the boyfriend”, I’m so happy that you two are a happy couple 💗
Congratulations Autumn!! Such a lovely day for you and Paul. You did it your way, in your time and that is the most important thing. I wish you a happy and healthy continued journey together through life!
Congratulations, my daughter got married after 16 years and four boys for the same reason. Her now husband's sister mentioned to him that his mother would be his next of kin and would make any decisions. After not wanting to get married he said that he would because he didn't want his mother involved.
Congrats!!! Me and the hubby got married in 3 weeks and cost us $300. Just the clothes. We got married at white rock lake in Dallas and my brother in law and sister in law had our reception at their house. I don’t regret it.
Cheers and congratulations to you and Paul! Absolutely love how perfect your special day was to you both!! Thanks so much for sharing the details-much love and hugs to you both.
Awww Congrats Autumn! I married my husband a month before he was set to go on a combat deployment for basically the same reasons as you & your husband. We never had a “real” wedding, just married on paper. You guys did it right, you had an official ceremony. Loved that you had your two weenies involved. We have dachshunds too :) Congrats, so happy for both of you 😊❤
Congratulations! My hubby and I planned a big wedding in August 1991 but the Gulf War came, and we married with a week’s planning on January 19, 1991. A simple but lovely ceremony with a few guests. We still wanted the big wedding, and had already put so much work into it including my dress. Fortunately, we were able to have the big wedding on August 3, 1991. Many, many more happy years to you both. It looked like an amazing and fun celebration. I loved those cupcakes. What an awesome idea. 🎉🎊🤛🏻
Congratulations! I love the choice you made to make your day about you. That’s the best way!!! So happy to have seen this tonight. In a world of sad and upsetting things, this is a reminder that there are great things happening…big and small.
Congrats! Very happy you have each other and I totally understand the reasons. Having “your person” is important, especially as life goes on and we get older. Very exciting! Dogs were adorable and your ceremony was great. Best wishes!! 🥂
Congratulations Autumn and Paul.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 I’m so very happy for you both. I must say at first I didn’t believe it.😳 I really wasn’t sure exactly what your relationship was. I’m sure a few years ago you had said that you two were no longer a couple but the very best of friends. That being said, I know you travel together, spend all celebrations and holidays together and of course still live together so I had my suspicions. There’s no denying how much you both care for eachother. Paul is a wonderful man with a sense of humour and so much love. You are a very lucky lady and he’s a lucky man. The most surprising thing is the way I’m responding to this wonderful news. It certainly is the best news I’ve heard this year and I’m actually shedding a few tears of joy. I wish you both the very best.❤️🙏
Congratulations! 💕 Yes, that issue happened to my Uncles through their relationship. They were together 2 weeks short of their 50th anniversary. They chose not to marry. My biological uncle died back in August. It’s too much to write but through the years it did cause issues medically. So again, congratulations and it was a very smart decision. 💐 No Cartier ring? 😊 Awe, your bridal party 🥰
Congratulations! You are wise to take in the medical side of things. I'm with you on the marriage biz and this is really the only thing that would prompt me to do it. The wedding dress looks wonderful on you. All of the choices are fun and practical and low stress. Good score on the shoes! The dogs looked adorable. May you have many many more anniversaries!
We're overwhelmed with all you're comments! Thank you all so much for all the kind words and support and for sharing your own stories with us. We will be filming a Q&A this weekend so if you have questions please leave them on my Instagram Q&A post. If you don't follow me there, I'm @autumnbeckman
You just need to do lasting power of attorney and no marriage required but congratulations on the wedding x
Congratulations 🥳. I think people forget that the wedding is just one day but marriage is for your lifetime. It’s not a competition for who can spend the most money in 24 hours. Your wedding was about the two of you which is how it should be.

I smiled the whole way through this video. Massive congratulations to you and Paul, Autumn. So lovely to hear you got married and had a wedding on your own terms. 💐
I laughed out loud when you cut to the dogs. So cute. Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! Your wedding was "You & Paul". That is wonderful.
Congratulations, Autumn and Paul!! This brought tears to my eyes!
Congratulations, Autumn!

OMG Autumn!!! You are full of surprises. What an absolutely perfect and classic wedding. Congratulations and many good wishes to you and Paul! ❤❤

You just proved that weddings do not have to be expensive. I’ve watched since your channel was brand new. This is a fun surprise. Congratulations!🍾

How cute that was! Thank You for the invite!☺☺😉😘😍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Yes I enjoyed the show! And you're welcome!☺
I love how Baron already had a tuxedo in his wardrobe ❤

Congratulations. I understand completely about health concerns. I'm 67 and my husband is 69. You don't think about this until something happens. In our case cancer. Thank God he survived but what a way to wake up to the fact that we got old.
Great choice on the sparkling belt and shoes❤❤
Congratulations! Many happy years ahead for both of you! We just celebrated 34 years married in November 2022.
My significant other is 20 years older than me. This year will be 10 years together and lived together for 6 years. Both went into the relationship not wanting kids or marriage. As we get older together… both still agree no kids but I do worry about medical issues coming up and I would not be able to be there in person to support or make decisions I know they would want. Our families are in good spirits with our relationship but you never know. Families attitude can change in an instant (I have seen it happen). He tries to assure me that won’t be the case. * My mind goes to… you don’t know what family thinks about us behind closed doors* Makes me nervous. Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤
Oh CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a fun surprise!!
Autumn, I would love if you shared what you've learned about how to prepare for times when you cannot medically speak for yourself, and the paperwork. I think this is so important, and has been on mind lately as well. I am so sorry to hear about your loved one who suffered a stroke, and the challenges his wife is facing. In addition to the beauty of your relationship with Paul, I think it was a super smart decision for both of you to marry for all the reasons you described. Life is often unpredictable and fleeting, but thankfully, life is mostly beautiful. Cherish every moment!
I am very happy for you both. I also had a budget wedding. It is not the amount of money spent that makes a good marriage but the amount of love and respect you have for each other. Congratulations!
Congratulations!
I didn’t even know you were not married. What a surprise
Thank you for sharing these details! I have been married 3 times, all 3 have been super budget friendly. My dress for my first wedding was borrowed from a friend who had gotten married a couple of months before. The second and third wedding dresses were thrift store finds. I love hearing about other thrifty brides!
OHhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS Autumn and Paul! I am giddy with excitement! How amazing and it is lovely that you did not spend so much money on the wedding. If I ever marry (unlikely!) my wedding will be very much like yours! Just the sort of ceremony I would like for myself! You could not have found a better Best Man and Bridesmaid. They looked stunning also! Thank you for the video! Have an amazing day, an amazing week, and amazing year and a TOTALLY AMAZING Rest of Your Life! Lots of love! (Will Yota ever recover from the shock though?!)
I loved your very creative wedding! The thing I loved the most was your Best man and your Maid of honor!
Congratulations! I already watch your video twice. What a love story and wonderful wedding! Thanks for reminding us a wedding is a commitment to each other and not an event for the guests
How exciting! I love seeing Paul in your videos! Your choices for best man and maid of honor couldn’t have been any better! I loved your dress! Beautiful!!!
I love every part of this - belated congratulations to you and Paul!
What a wonderful surprise!!! I'm so happy for you two.!!! Great job with all the planning it seemed to be perfect!!!
Congratulations. So happy for you and Paul. Thank you for sharing your sweet wedding with us.
Congratulations Autumn & Paul! How lovely to do this your way - that what makes it special. And you had the most fabulous officiant, best man and maid of honour!! All the very best! 💕
Autumn and Paul ,
My daughter and I just saw the posting of your wedding and of course we were surprised as we have been watching you for a long time. I told Trisha I thought the reason you made this decision was exactly what you said.
I have been concern that you both needed to be known as a couple so you would be able to make decisions for each other as needed. We are so happy for you and wish you nothing but happiness. CONGRATULATIONS !
Colleen and Patricia
Hi Autumn, Congrats. This was very inspirational. I got married in my parents living room and do not regret it to this day. You look beautiful and radiant.
Congratulations Autumn and Paul,a lifetime of happiness to you! And I love the bridal party!
Yay!! Congratulations! I respect when someone doesn’t want to get married (or have kids - we aren’t) but I love being married so this makes me happy haha. My husband and I got engaged on February 15th and married on March 13th… less than a month later. We did a small wedding (immediate family only, in a beautiful park by water) where my now brother in law took the photos, my friend officiated and we all just went out to dinner at the restaurant where my husband and I had our first date for the “reception”. We spent our money on our honeymoon!
Omg! I don’t know how I missed this video but congratulations! My boyfriend and I are planning to get married soon and I didn’t know what to do. We both have been married before and neither of us wanted a big expensive wedding so this gave me so many ideas. Thank you for sharing ❤
Awwww how cute are the two of you?! You looked absolutely beautiful. Congratulations!
Congratulations! I think you got married for one of the most important reasons. You want the person you love to be there if anything happens. Great video!
Congratulations Autumn! I am happy that you shared with us that a wedding should reflect the bride and groom. You can have a memorable day without paying tens of thousands of dollars (unless you want to). I loved the dogs' outfits and how nice that your Mom could officiate. Wishing you all continued love and happiness ❤️
My husband of 39 years and I were married five months after our first date. We planned everything in less than 8 weeks, church ceremony with 125 guests. We did all the food ourselves, minus the cake. A ton of friends pitched in.
Thanks for sharing your big news. My husband and I had a similar style small living room wedding in November 2020. Our friend the officiant was ordained online too. We pushed up the date to facilitate buying the home we had shared for 17 years … as renters. So, $5 to $10k plus or wedding at home. I did my own flowers via Trader Joe’s, put family photos on shelves behind us, my mother in law’s engagement ring + Amazon rings, and as we had been planning to be married (similar reasons after many years together) I had a dress from Torrid and several other white dresses in closet that were on sale as options but went for tea length dress as home ceremony. Blue kitten heels from thrift store. Our dog wore a black bow tie as he was always clad in a tux … black with white chest… this was COVID era so no going out. Only regret no family from Midwest or long distance friends or family but videotaped ceremony on iPhone. Nor did we do a zoom wedding, discussed but we needed to pull the trigger in a short time. We may have an anniversary party at some point but not sure it’s worth the money. We are committed and happier to spend the money we had been saving on our house. We are similar in ages to you and in Southern California having the opportunity to own a home is so much more gratifying then a big one day party and all the likely stress I’d endure coordinating a wedding. Congratulations! ❤🧁🥂🍾
Got married 💑 New Years Eve & was blown away when Uncle Sam came calling. 😳 We never guessed how financially 💸 💰 detrimental that decision would be!!
Good time 2 marry New Year’s Day!!
I love the way you went about doing your fast and inexpensive wedding! Everything seemed so sweet and it seemed more about you as a couple than the hoopla of a big flashy event. I've been with my partner for 17 years and I think if he and I ever decided to get married (I agree with your reasons and we are both in our 40s) then I think we would do something very similar. Thank you for sharing your special day and all the great tips with us! Huge congrats to you and Paul!
Well that was unexpected! Congratulations! Such smart reasoning. I had been wondering if you two were back together again. I remember you mentioning a year or two ago that Paul was no longer “the boyfriend”, I’m so happy that you two are a happy couple 💗
Congratulations Autumn!! Such a lovely day for you and Paul. You did it your way, in your time and that is the most important thing. I wish you a happy and healthy continued journey together through life!
Great way to start 2023! Congratulations!
Nooooo way!!!! Didn’t watch yet. Watching now. So excited for you - usually a silent watcher ;)
Congratulations, my daughter got married after 16 years and four boys for the same reason. Her now husband's sister mentioned to him that his mother would be his next of kin and would make any decisions. After not wanting to get married he said that he would because he didn't want his mother involved.
Congrats!!! Me and the hubby got married in 3 weeks and cost us $300. Just the clothes. We got married at white rock lake in Dallas and my brother in law and sister in law had our reception at their house. I don’t regret it.
Cheers and congratulations to you and Paul! Absolutely love how perfect your special day was to you both!! Thanks so much for sharing the details-much love and hugs to you both.
Awww Congrats Autumn! I married my husband a month before he was set to go on a combat deployment for basically the same reasons as you & your husband. We never had a “real” wedding, just married on paper. You guys did it right, you had an official ceremony. Loved that you had your two weenies involved. We have dachshunds too :) Congrats, so happy for both of you 😊❤
Congratulations! My hubby and I planned a big wedding in August 1991 but the Gulf War came, and we married with a week’s planning on January 19, 1991. A simple but lovely ceremony with a few guests. We still wanted the big wedding, and had already put so much work into it including my dress. Fortunately, we were able to have the big wedding on August 3, 1991. Many, many more happy years to you both. It looked like an amazing and fun celebration. I loved those cupcakes. What an awesome idea. 🎉🎊🤛🏻
What a perfect wedding! It is what you wanted and it was really lovely! All the best to you two and congratulations Autumn and Paul.
Congratulation. What a wonderful and very personal and intimate ceremony. Very special and classy.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Wishing you many happy, healthy years together.
🌷Congratulations, Autumn and Paul! 🎉
Congratulations! I love the choice you made to make your day about you. That’s the best way!!! So happy to have seen this tonight. In a world of sad and upsetting things, this is a reminder that there are great things happening…big and small.
Congratulations 🍷🎉
Simple wedding are wonderful👍🏽🙏🏽
Congratulations. Your wedding was lovely. You were a beautiful bride. Well done Reverend Mom!
Your story about the ceremony was so touch!
Congratulations! I love how you planned your wedding. How exciting and wonderful!
Congrats! Very happy you have each other and I totally understand the reasons. Having “your person” is important, especially as life goes on and we get older. Very exciting! Dogs were adorable and your ceremony was great. Best wishes!! 🥂
Congratulations Autumn and Paul.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 I’m so very happy for you both. I must say at first I didn’t believe it.😳 I really wasn’t sure exactly what your relationship was. I’m sure a few years ago you had said that you two were no longer a couple but the very best of friends. That being said, I know you travel together, spend all celebrations and holidays together and of course still live together so I had my suspicions. There’s no denying how much you both care for eachother. Paul is a wonderful man with a sense of humour and so much love. You are a very lucky lady and he’s a lucky man. The most surprising thing is the way I’m responding to this wonderful news. It certainly is the best news I’ve heard this year and I’m actually shedding a few tears of joy. I wish you both the very best.❤️🙏
I am so happy that you two are together. Sweet couple. And you two were doing this for all the right reasons and are perfect together. Congratulations
Congratulations! This makes me so happy!❤️. Everything is so perfect. And I love how your mom is wearing that James Avery ring …..mother and child💕💕💕
Congratulations!!! This made me cry! Wish you both so much happiness and love.
Congratulations! 💕 Yes, that issue happened to my Uncles through their relationship. They were together 2 weeks short of their 50th anniversary. They chose not to marry. My biological uncle died back in August. It’s too much to write but through the years it did cause issues medically. So again, congratulations and it was a very smart decision. 💐 No Cartier ring? 😊 Awe, your bridal party 🥰
Huge congratulations! You were beaming and Paul looked delighted!! 🎉
thanks for sharing this was so lovely ! many congrats !! I didn't realise you guys were back together again , so pleased you are
Our wedding was on a low budget, too. Has stood the test of time! Congratulations and wishing you continued happiness!
Congratulations to you both!! I love how you planned your wedding. Smartly done and you looked beautiful! 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations! You are wise to take in the medical side of things. I'm with you on the marriage biz and this is really the only thing that would prompt me to do it. The wedding dress looks wonderful on you. All of the choices are fun and practical and low stress. Good score on the shoes! The dogs looked adorable. May you have many many more anniversaries!
Congratulations Autumn! You've gotten married, I'm going on my very first date on Friday!!
You too are made for each other. The way you look at Paul and he looks at you is love. Congratulations 👏
