Hi fiances - haven't seen any videos from you lately, hope everyone's OK and happy, including java. How are the wedding plans coming along? Anything new? Miss you two?
I took an undergrad class that was taught by a deaf professor. There was an interpreter for him and an interpreter for us, the students. It was one of my favorite classes!
When will a new video be out? Is everything OK? Has the wedding happened yet,? Wishing you both good wishes. Muss seeing videos of you guys. I'm sure everyone else is too.
Please do an update. Wondering where you are and what is going on. Hopefully you are well and just too busy to share videos. Thinking of you and looking forward to more videos. Thank you for sharing with us.
@elgaragedeelpibe6117 @SignDuoChannel This is a valid question. If you're not going to produce videos anymore, at least, make a video explaining it. You have built a community of people who genuinely love and care for you both. Through watching your videos we got to know you and you lives. It would be a common courtesy to at least drop a 3 minute video saying that you're not going to create them anymore.
I totally agree! Love like there’s is hard and almost impossible to find, and they found it! Congratulations you two! I’m so happy for y’all! With love from: a nobody ❤️
I love that you look into his eyes when he’s signing and not his hands. It’s like you take in the whole body language and read it with his eyes and the rest is secondary.
Thank you for answering the question! I hope your wedding will go as smooth as you’re planning it and all of your family members will be able to be on the same page 😊
Congratulations on your engagement! I love the idea of having interpreters for your guests so that they can all understand the vows you share with one another. Wishing you many, many happy and loving years together.
Hi just wanted to make sure your ok. I am currently working on learning sign language and it very challenging but highly rewarding thank you for being you.
Hope you guys come back to TH-cam soon! Big fan of your channel and the two of you. Love your vibes in your videos I feel so relaxed watching. So much good energy from you two. Wishing you well and please come back soon!!! Update us!!
I thought about maybe Ryans mom being the interpreter since that’s what she does as a suggestion, but then I thought, no b/c she would probably want to just be there in the moment and enjoy the experience of her son and new daughter-in-law 😊❤️
Any idea when you both are returning with new videos? I'm sure I'm not the only one to miss seeing you both in the videos. Have you decided more about what you are going to do for the wedding Miss your signing and your cute videos.
I miss your videos guys, I hope you are doing well.. please come back on TH-cam and if anyone knows a platform they use more often let us know! Love xx
I don't know if it would work for you guys, but I've seen some people put their vows on a slideshow. It might be a good way to unite the two families because they can all read even if they don't speak the same language.
Literally both of the ideas I was gonna come here to say, only thing is if it was on a slideshow, it might sometimes be blocked and people will have difficulties seeing but printing them out would be really cool
I just discovered channel and have been watching your past videos and just now noticed you haven’t updated in a while. So I hope you are doing well even tho I’m new to your channel! Your communication ability really just shows how you can understand your loved ones in ways that you don’t even need words or even signs to say or show. You have your own ways of communicating and understand each and are willing to work out all the kinks that happen. As all people do even if they both are hearing, communication goes beyond just speaking the same language and hearing! I love seeing the connection between you too. You communicate better then my own family which says a lot. It reminds me of how my mom and sister are always fighting and have terrible communication but I somehow am able to understand her without even words or tone of voice. Like you’ve said it a previous video, it’s all about learning facial expressions, and phrases they say and knowing how they react and just are as a person. That’s how you truly understand someone. Just basic speaking communication doesn’t always come across easily between people cause they don’t understand each other as you do with your friends and loved ones. I mean even people with disabilities and comprehension skills have barriers to communication, and to understand them and communicate you have learn how to speak or understand their way of expressing what they feel and want to say. I find very rude and strange for people to ask why anyone would date someone or be with someone who’s deaf, like that is basically saying they are too much work why would you want to be someone who is harder to communicate with. You could say that about any trait in my opinion of a person. Why are you dating them they aren’t very bright, they are very short tempered, they have a terminal illness, they have a crappy family etc. obviously you will be with someone if you want to be with them. If you love each other or find happiness that you would rather deal with difficulties other people might not have, rather than be without it. Your gonna be with that Person and it will work if you want it too or let it. I’m sorry that was an entire essay for no reason. But I hope you update sometime even if it’s just a short clip of Java and you two saying Hello or telling us if you are planning on taking a break from TH-cam or focusing on other things for now on or just what you’re up to
I'm late but I just wanna say something. thank you guys, you have inspired me to take ASL-1 at my school and to learn the language to be able to better communicate with those around me. I'm only a freshman in highschool and because of you guys I'm learning a whole other language and culture. I'm an aspiring lawyer, and I hope to be able to help deaf people in need of a lawyer who knows asl.
@@SignDuoChannelI discovered your channel two days ago and I *REALLY REEEEAAAALLLLYYY* hope you post. Of course if you have any personal problems or other reasons not to post that is okay 😊
Because of your videos I’m taking ASL classes in college and now can hold basic conversations in sign. It’s very useful especially at my job in restaurants because I can create a more welcoming environment for deaf or hard of hearing customers. Thank you guys so much for inspiring me to take ASL classes❤❤
I was the officiator at my sister's wedding. Her wife is Deaf, so the wedding ceremony was all in ASL. They had a separate interpreter translate everything we were saying. It was so awesome to be a part of the ceremony, very emotional!
Dear Ellen and Ryan, You guys have been so amazing and beautiful to watch. Your qualities are just a light to believe that love and sacrifice exists. Thank you for all that you taught me and inspired me to be myself. G-d bless you both now and always. Lia
Being in the moment is the most important thing to remember on your wedding day. There can be so many distractions and logistics, but the best advice we received when we got married was to just enjoy it. (And to take two special moments - one for just you two, and one to appreciate all the people supporting you.) There shouldn't be any extra responsibilities on Ellen that day. I assume you'll think through your interpretation needs for the reception too so that Ellen or other family don't have to interpret and can just be there enjoying the party.
Congratulations on the engagement!! I just wanted to mention that my Language & Culture graduate course is covering deafness as a disability and Deaf culture (for context, I’m studying TESL), and that I recommended your channel as being extremely helpful and educational. I love how, Ellen, you brought up bilingualism with regards to ASL. I feel like a lot of people just think it’s spoken English but signed, when in actuality, it’s its own language! Anyway, I just wanted to comment about how fantastic your videos are and how wonderful you two are together. Best wishes for the future!!
I'm so excited for the wedding!!! I hope you will share some footage in one of your videos of your special day so we can all celebrate with you!! Wishing you both all of the best in your lifetime adventure!! ❤️
So it’s currently 14th of July and still no update :( I love their videos I find them so interesting and entertaining! Hope you guys are okay and living your best lives!!
Congrats on the engagement guys and I wish you all the best! I also love that you guys are sharing this for maybe other deaf/hearing couples who may get married need help on how they would want to this their weeding as well.
All good ideas! I never thought of having too many decorations blocking sight lines for people to see everything clearly. Congratulations to both of you! 🥰
Congratulations!! I am really happy for you two. On a different topic: What about you two interviewing Ryan's mom about her experiences? Her take on how to sensitize and educate hearing folks to communicate better with deaf folks. How about interviewing a teacher from your school ? What did they learn and do differently because they had you in their class. Thank you.
As an interpreter, I love interpreting weddings. It's so much fun & you have the opportunity to meet more of the guests than most times gathering together like that. :)
I started watching you guys before I even took my first sign class. I am now on my 5th year of studying interpreting and I haven't seen one of your videos in a looonggg time. It was so great to be able to fully understand Ryan without the captions!! Congrats you guys!!
All those pastries in the shop you were in looked delicious! Made me hungry 😋 I like the idea of the two interpreters for your wedding. I hadn’t even thought about that actually. I’ve been to a wedding before where an interpreter was used but it was for the groom’s family member that was deaf only.
Hey guys! Congrats! I just recently joined an ASL club at my high school, and I got to sign with a deaf person for the first time. Super cool, and I wish you guys the best! Question about your wedding: I know Ryan has mentioned before that music can be aggravating at times. Is Ellen going to choose a song to dance to, or will it be up to both of you based on lyrics and/or vibrations?
It’s so nice to see a bilingual couple sharing their thought process on this. It is an extra challenge that most people don’t have, but you’re doing a great job of explaining your thought process and making it inclusive for all of your attendees
I'm in collage studying sign language and a while back when I wasn't as fluent I would watch your videos. But I'm proud to say I can now understand every thing you sign! I don't know who will see this but just wanted to share. Thank you sign duo!
Great idea to have an interpreter at the wedding but also it’s your big day and it’s all about you and your groom. So people should teach themselves if they wish to be more engaged with the wedding day.
Hi Sign Duo! I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching to help me practice sign language. I've been watching TH-cam videos to learn finger spelling and expand my ASL vocabulary. I don't have anyone to practice with so it helps me a great deal to watch you sign. I've been wanting to learn for so long and have committed myself this year to learn as much as I can. I don't know anyone from the deaf community but I've worked in a museum and was really frustrated that I could not communicate well with a non-hearing guest. I could barely finger spell at the time but they appreciated my effort. Congratulations on your engagement. I think you're a lovely couple and wish you all the best. And Java is adorable!
My husband is deaf and when we got married we hired two interpreters just like you were saying. It would not be fair to the bride to have that responsibility of interpreting. We also made sure at least one interpreter stayed for photos and the reception so I suggest that if you can. (Don’t forget rehearsal night as well!)
My mom and dad were a hearing and deaf couple. Just found this channel. I am going to watch the crap out of it! My mother and dad were troopers! And so are you guys. This is beautiful
My husband and I are a bilingual/ bicultural couple. For our wedding, we had a "mixed" ceremony with some parts in one language and other parts in the other language. The reason we decided to do it that way is because of the amount of time it took to wait for somebody to interpret each section. It was "take a wedding and make it almost double as long." So instead of each part being repeated, I did my portions in my native language and my husband did his portions in his native language. We also had readings from both languages. I'm not sure if you all will have that problem since it seems that sign language interpreting is almost simultaneous. But that might be something to consider as well. Good luck with wedding planning and know that whatever you decide, it will be perfect for you guys!
Hey Guys. I'd like to share with you how my wife and I got married. Her maid of Honor was also my sign language teacher. We are Catholic so we had a best man for me and a maid of honor for Danielle plus the priest. The priest figured out that because Danielle needed to see the interpreter that the best man would stand next to Danielle and her maid of honor (the sign language teacher) would stand next to me. In this way Danielle's interpreter is clearly in her sight. One amazing thing happend which suprised me. When we took our vows Danielle not only signed "I DO" but she also Voiced the "I DO." Knowing how reluctant Danielle was to speak in front of other people I began to tear up right then and there. The ceremony was extremely beautiful. Take care, God bless.
Such a beautiful couple. I hope you are both okay as it's been a while since you posted an update. I'm sure we're all dying to hear all about the wedding.
Idk if you have considered this idea, but look into getting a Deaf officiant. Or one who knows sign language. You can utilize an interpreter to voice the signs for the hearing people, and this way neither of you need to rely on an interpreter. I feel it would help it feel more intimate. The Deaf guests would be able to see the officiant and the two of you sign, and the hearing guests will listen to the interpreter voice for you.
I remember learning asl at home during covid and then coming upon this couple and they were amazing. They taught me that I could read a bit without having to use captions or anything. My favorite couple and I’m so happy they are engaged. I wanted to learn because I wanted to expand that side of language where not everyone learns and not everyone doesn’t know who they’ll bump into but I am hoping they will post soon :)
In a selfish way. I really want to see your wedding too!! I'm so happy for you! I have been a long time fan of both of you! Support and love!!!! Thankful for your videos!!!
I can't wait for the wedding video. I hope you'll share it with us. It's been so great watching you over the years. Ellen, you're going to look just gorgeous on the day. Have you guys thought about timing? Maybe I missed it earlier, but what time of year were you thinking?
Congrats guys! I've been watching you for years now, and I'm actually minoring in ASL right now because you inspired me! Wishing you all the happiness in your future!
We've missed y'all so much!🥺 I think everyone can relate to feeling pressure to keep up with other people on social media, even without huge followings. Honestly that's why I've taken a step back from social media myself, I think privacy helps you to live more authentically and not let other people's perceptions hold you back. It sounds like that's what y'all ultimately decided to do I think that's amazing, PROTECT UR PEACE! 😂 especially while you're going through periods of transition like ths. As for the home proposal I looove intimate and romantic proposals, it depends on your person what they'd prefer but this honestly sounds like something out of a romance book. It was cute and special to y'all and I'm so glad y'all are happy and going strong
I miss you guys. Watching you guys is such a great memory for me. Loved watching yalls relationship and the soft and gentleness of it. Wish you guys to come backkk but probably busy from all that wedding planning I guess
A Big CONGRATS to you both on your engagement. May your years together, bring you lots of memories, lots of smiles and most importantly lots of happiness :)
I love watching your videos for so many reasons! You are both so sweet! I also love seeing my hometown on display! You give me new places to go check out when I am in town too!
I am currently learning ASL at my local university and am studying it as my minor. I remembered that I had followed y'all long before I was even interested in learning and could never find any of the videos! I am glad I found y'all again.
Just wondering if everything is alright with you guys. Haven't seen any new videos in 2 months. Was hoping to see comments to questions about your decisions on who will interpret your wedding. Congratulations by the way. Happy for you both. I have written a couple of times. Just concerned and miss your wonderful videos. They truly are fun and educational.
I love to be engaged in to your conversations! It's very beautiful to me. Please always continue to share your life with us! Someday there will be TV show based on your wonderful life together. Many blessings for your future!
Wow it’s been a few months. Hope you guys are still getting married!! 😭 I just found you and wanted to watch most recent video. Hope everything is well. You guys are such a gorgeous and amazing couple. Hope all worked out and you’re already married!

I've been watching TH-cam videos to learn finger spelling and expand my ASL vocabulary. I don't have anyone to practice with so it helps me a great deal to watch you sign. I've been wanting to learn for so long and have committed myself this year to learn as much as I can. I don't know anyone from the deaf community but I've worked in a museum and was really frustrated that I could not communicate well with a non-hearing guest. I could barely finger spell at the time but they appreciated my effort.
Congratulations on your engagement. I think you're a lovely couple and wish you all the best. And Java is adorable!
My husband is deaf and when we got married we hired two interpreters just like you were saying. It would not be fair to the bride to have that responsibility of interpreting. We also made sure at least one interpreter stayed for photos and the reception so I suggest that if you can. (Don’t forget rehearsal night as well!)
My mom and dad were a hearing and deaf couple. Just found this channel. I am going to watch the crap out of it! My mother and dad were troopers! And so are you guys. This is beautiful
I think you guys will be fine what ever works also love how Java in the little intro slide so cute
My husband and I are a bilingual/ bicultural couple. For our wedding, we had a "mixed" ceremony with some parts in one language and other parts in the other language. The reason we decided to do it that way is because of the amount of time it took to wait for somebody to interpret each section. It was "take a wedding and make it almost double as long." So instead of each part being repeated, I did my portions in my native language and my husband did his portions in his native language. We also had readings from both languages. I'm not sure if you all will have that problem since it seems that sign language interpreting is almost simultaneous. But that might be something to consider as well. Good luck with wedding planning and know that whatever you decide, it will be perfect for you guys!
can i ask what languages? just curious
Hey Guys. I'd like to share with you how my wife and I got married. Her maid of Honor was also my sign language teacher. We are Catholic so we had a best man for me and a maid of honor for Danielle plus the priest. The priest figured out that because Danielle needed to see the interpreter that the best man would stand next to Danielle and her maid of honor (the sign language teacher) would stand next to me. In this way Danielle's interpreter is clearly in her sight. One amazing thing happend which suprised me. When we took our vows Danielle not only signed "I DO" but she also Voiced the "I DO." Knowing how reluctant Danielle was to speak in front of other people I began to tear up right then and there. The ceremony was extremely beautiful. Take care, God bless.
Such a beautiful couple. I hope you are both okay as it's been a while since you posted an update. I'm sure we're all dying to hear all about the wedding.
Missing you guys and hope all is well in your world.
very excited for the both of you looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for you both.
Yo sign duo!
We really miss you both and Java! We hope you're all safe and well!
Hi you guys are amazing my parents are deaf and they taught me sign language or asl and it warms my heart you guys are amazing
Idk if you have considered this idea, but look into getting a Deaf officiant. Or one who knows sign language.
You can utilize an interpreter to voice the signs for the hearing people, and this way neither of you need to rely on an interpreter. I feel it would help it feel more intimate. The Deaf guests would be able to see the officiant and the two of you sign, and the hearing guests will listen to the interpreter voice for you.
How do you guys always find the cutest places to eat out I can’t anymore
I remember learning asl at home during covid and then coming upon this couple and they were amazing. They taught me that I could read a bit without having to use captions or anything. My favorite couple and I’m so happy they are engaged. I wanted to learn because I wanted to expand that side of language where not everyone learns and not everyone doesn’t know who they’ll bump into but I am hoping they will post soon :)
In a selfish way. I really want to see your wedding too!! I'm so happy for you! I have been a long time fan of both of you! Support and love!!!! Thankful for your videos!!!
The way you two look at each other is magical :')) I'm so happy for you both.
I can't wait for the wedding video. I hope you'll share it with us. It's been so great watching you over the years. Ellen, you're going to look just gorgeous on the day. Have you guys thought about timing? Maybe I missed it earlier, but what time of year were you thinking?
Congrats guys! I've been watching you for years now, and I'm actually minoring in ASL right now because you inspired me! Wishing you all the happiness in your future!
Really hope Java is going to b a part of mom and dad ceremony. M as by ring pup it best dog or something. So happy for you!
Congratulations on your wedding! I wish you all the best from Uruguay!
It would be nice if the officiant could learn enough sign language to conduct the ceremony. I feel like you guys deserve that. Congrats again!
There might even be a billingual officiant out there
Miss you two! I hope life is awesome!
We've missed y'all so much!🥺
I think everyone can relate to feeling pressure to keep up with other people on social media, even without huge followings. Honestly that's why I've taken a step back from social media myself, I think privacy helps you to live more authentically and not let other people's perceptions hold you back. It sounds like that's what y'all ultimately decided to do I think that's amazing, PROTECT UR PEACE! 😂 especially while you're going through periods of transition like ths.
As for the home proposal I looove intimate and romantic proposals, it depends on your person what they'd prefer but this honestly sounds like something out of a romance book. It was cute and special to y'all and I'm so glad y'all are happy and going strong
Congrats once again to both of you! 🥰
Thanks a lot miguel!
I love your channel!
Lol when the end of the video says see you next time... year goes by and still nothing😂
Wish you both so much joy together! Do either of you have a religious background or faith? Will you choose a wedding dress & Tux?
I miss you guys. Watching you guys is such a great memory for me. Loved watching yalls relationship and the soft and gentleness of it. Wish you guys to come backkk but probably busy from all that wedding planning I guess
A Big CONGRATS to you both on your engagement. May your years together, bring you lots of memories, lots of smiles and most importantly lots of happiness :)
I am little bit ahead…… The babies? Can’t wait to see them! They will be absolutely beautiful 🤩
I love watching your videos for so many reasons! You are both so sweet! I also love seeing my hometown on display! You give me new places to go check out when I am in town too!
I am currently learning ASL at my local university and am studying it as my minor. I remembered that I had followed y'all long before I was even interested in learning and could never find any of the videos! I am glad I found y'all again.
Can’t wait until you come back... 🤗 I hope your wedding was amazing or will be!!! 🥰
Just wondering if everything is alright with you guys. Haven't seen any new videos in 2 months. Was hoping to see comments to questions about your decisions on who will interpret your wedding. Congratulations by the way. Happy for you both.
I have written a couple of times. Just concerned and miss your wonderful videos. They truly are fun and educational.
I love to be engaged in to your conversations! It's very beautiful to me.
Please always continue to share your life with us!
Someday there will be TV show based on your wonderful life together.
Many blessings for your future!
Maybe there's a way you can have the seats in bleachers so people don't have to look over heads. So excited for you guys 💗💗
Wow it’s been a few months. Hope you guys are still getting married!! 😭
I just found you and wanted to watch most recent video. Hope everything is well. You guys are such a gorgeous and amazing couple. Hope all worked out and you’re already married!
I pray that everything will go smoothly for your wedding. Love you, from Malaysia.
