“I told him: I definitely want engagement and marriage soon afterwards, I’m not going to just hang around forever” I love how strong your boundaries are, a true high quality lady❤️
Agree. A friend living with her boyfriend for a couple of years had to convince him she was serious so she started looking at apartments and talked about dating other people. That woke him up!
Why spend time with someone you love if you can't get them by the balls financially and have a nice payday lined up, right? We still have the pre-industrial punitive divorce laws written when women couldn't have a career, but with no-fault divorce. It's turned the incentive structure upside down. A woman is rewarded and INCENTIVIZED to scratch that 7 year itch
I agree she looks really good in it. However, my favorites are definitely her pastels... The soft beiges and the light pinks, etc, really bring out this gentle princess-like quality she exudes.
Congratulations. Clearly you’re in love. I always say, “It’s not about the wedding. It’s about the marriage.” And when you’ve got that in your heart, you’ve got the right partner.
@@SemekiIzuio Nothing about her Wedding was cheap. I suspect that anybody who was trying to avoid paying for a Wedding would show themselves as such - that kind of thing is hard to hide in a relationship. Being thrifty is a different thing & not a bad one but a Wedding is important; though obvs the marriage is what matters 🙏🙏
I am seeing this 18 months after your wedding, but since you asked about early marriages, I thought I would still post. My now husband of 25 years and I were in 2 different countries, with schedules that were packed, and suddenly realized that we could both be free in 2 weeks. We had a civil wedding and were lined up with an unusual crew of characters by 8:30 in the morning, and were number 2 on the docket. We didn't know we needed a witness for a civil wedding so the father of the bride before us stayed to be a witness. We then went to the airport and shared a muffin and a coffee after which I flew alone back to my country, and my husband went back to his next music performance that night. No photos, no honeymoon, and total secrecy for many reasons, and here we are in our 70's. The relationship was what mattered, not the fairy tale day :)
I love that the intimate, "micro wedding" has made a comeback in these crazy times. Good for you - Congratulations!! *The picture reminds me of Hollywood weddings in the 40's - classy suit, minimal bouquet...perfect!
I love that you were open enough to share some footage and the background story. It gave great insight on how women can meet men organically, think outside the box, and wedding outfit ideas.
I think privacy is key when sharing about your spouse, I watched that video when you posted it a while back and agree with it. There are far too many women on social media who do not understand this concept and wonder why things go south. Congrats on your marriage!

I totally agree. I have a channel and i never share my husband. Lots of people wish bad things on couples too. Protect what is sacred to you
I am touched that you mentioned dealing with Graves’ disease. Thank you for being so open and honest. It helps people like me with other autoimmune diseases remember that many people are affected, even if they don’t show it. It helps me remember that almost everyone has some health issue that they deal with, but we can still be beautiful and elegant ladies despite these challenges.
I absolutely agree as I have rheumatoid arthritis which is also an autoimmune disease. But that won’t stop me from trying to be elegant. Thank you for the inspiration.
I am Lebanese, I have been in the U.S. for 12 years now. You are absolutely right, Lebanese weddings are the BEST. I had my Lebanese Wedding party in Lebanon and the official wedding in the U.S. since my husband is American. My Lebanese party was like One Thousand and One Night. The American wedding was very simple and elegant. CONGRATULATIONS!!
That’s a great love story. There’s SO much to be said for a man that will travel constantly to see his women and invest so much time & money. That’s amazing and what you deserved. From my last relationship, I’ve learned not to waste my time with any man that won’t do things like this for me.
My fiancé is Swedish and I'm Brazilian. We had a long distance relationship for nearly 3 years and he traveled to Brazil many times to see me. Now we have been living together in Sweden for nearly two years. Meanwhile I have a friend in a 5 year relationship with a guy who lives a street away from her and he never makes any effort to see her 🤷♀️
She said 'my hubby had to come the UK because Inwas in the UK and he was in Geneva.' I feel honored I ignored the guy whose first message to me was he lives far and would only be able to visit sometimes...hinting I'll have to come visit him as in half and half...oh dear, a man will create time to come and see his lady and distance is never an issue. 💫
A wedding doesn't make the marriage. Your elegant and simple civil ceremony speaks volumes to your dedication to your new husband. The weddings that are over the top and are all about the "look at me" vibe usually spell disaster for the marriage. Smart choice, Ana! And congratulations to you both. Wishing you many years of happiness together ❤
I was just going to ask her if she did it herself or had a makeup artist. I'd like to see a demonstration so I could copy it. Too many makeup tutorials look extreme and trashy.
The Dior suit was the perfect thing for you to wear at your civil ceremony. I'm confident that your church wedding will be a whole other story! Much happiness to you and your hubby.
I love the idea that you are elegant and private. This is what contradistinguishes you from the other “bloggers or influencers” You are unique. Keep it up Anna. ❤️
Congratulations Anna! He's a lucky guy. As always, I'm not surprised that in these times, you're an example of common sense, intelligence, responsibility, elegance, beauty, and love. Your wedding will make a lovely story for the decades to come. Best wishes for health, happiness, and a wonderful future together! xo
Sounds like a spiritual lesson and test! About valuing what’s really important instead of only the surface appearances. A strong start for a marriage, in my opinion!
I'm so proud of you establishing engagement/marriage dates early on. This is what we need to be doing instead hanging around waiting for him to propose. Why do so many women feel they're being needy or overwhelming if they discuss relationship establishment and the next step. This is for you ladies! Don't let anyone's son WASTE YO TIME (6m to 1 year is a great dating period before engagement)
6 months is too short to get to know his true personality. The honeymoon phase already takes up 3 months so unless you want to contribute to the divorce rate of people who didn’t know their partners until a few month after the wedding, i’d suggest slowing down. There’s no rush
Congratulations!!! I personally don’t want a big wedding. I want something intimate and personal. I just want the focus on us. I feel big weddings you have to say hi to everyone, hug everyone, talk to others. You have minimal time to just enjoy each other. It’s your special day, that should be the focus.
Yes, agreed. I don't understand the appeal of big weddings. Focusing on each other and cherishing each other should be the focus. It's your special day, not the guests' special day. In so many words: I like the way you think :)
I think this was a classy wedding. I find big rich weddings often a bit tacky. Since you are all about class, I think this was a great wedding and reflected your values.
It's like Kate and William... A bit tacky... 🤪😄😁😆😅🤣😂 You guys are hilarious... When you like people you don't even think in what you say... Oh! My wedding was small only 75 guests, but I'm not going around telling my friends their wedding was tacky because they had 300 guests...
As a fellow Aries, I agree with everything you've said and done. Never chase the man, let him chase you. If he is interested, he will never be too busy or far away, he will always make the effort. Is your friend who introduced you still dating the other guy?
Nice touch you wrote it instead of watching the phone. That was the moment I understand everything you talked about it. Like the water. " very" nice touch... or should I say 'how charming ' outstanding 👏
You are an engaging storyteller! I love how you recounted your lovestory from the time you met your husband up until your wedding day! I was hooked from start tio finish. Congratulations on your wedding!😍
Your wedding planning and day are the epitome of class - intelligence, responsibility, focus on what is truly important about marriage, understated beauty/elegance, good humor and concern for others abound. People who assume they “got away with” an unsanctioned larger wedding during the pandemic are selfish and don’t grasp the science behind asymptomatic and tertiary infections. But back on topic, sending all best wishes to you and your husband for many years of happiness❣️❣️❣️
I am from Peru, I've watched a lot of your videos, I really find useful your advice for clothing, buying, styling, and how to look like an elegant lady... I didn't forget to subscribe, and likes...women like me wants to look classy even though I am not affluent. Marriage is an important step on life, I really wish you all the happiness that women deserve. Hope you continue teaching us and giving elegance to the world through your work.
You looked elegant on your wedding, but most importantly is that YOU were happy and comfortable with your decision on what to wear on your wedding. Omg I never knew you had graves disease, and I have it too. This is so relatable. Would love to see a video about your experience through that journey. Last you look stunning in that blue dress.
Your wedding suit was 100% spot on for the type of ceremony you had. It is stunning. It can also be used in your more formal church ceremony as an "exit" outfit as you are leaving the reception.
We had our civil wedding (10 years ago) in Munich at 10:00 am. It was a beautiful ceremony in English Garden (Englischer Garden) combined with a breakfast/brunch in a restaurant next to a lake. A year later we had a church wedding in our home country in a small castle. Both were very special to us.
Your wedding was lovely! 30 years after my own sweet little wedding, my husband and I are as much in love as ever! No huge dress or guest list, just an intimate ceremony that was perfect for US ❤️
I married in january. Love it. I live in north west Michigan, very north then. You can always fly to a warmer place for future anniversaries. Be positive enjoy each anniversary. Enjoy your husband for many decades.
yeah, right? i feel like this video explained a part of Anna we rarely see this clearly. It's about being down to Earth no matter how affluent and perfect you are. I feel I appreciate her even more now.
Congratulations my mentor.2021 is my year.i manifested a man of mean,rich, respectful, and I met exactly the kind of man.who takes care of me and my daughters fully.hes a provider and protector. I manifest my engagement this year in dubai before June and my wedding december.wish me good luck🙏🇰🇪
I’m so surprised that people actually asked, Why you didn’t wear a fancy gown... I mean seriously don’t they know the difference between a civil marriage and a full blown wedding reception.. 🙄 I think Anna looked stunning in her civil marriage outfit.. so polished .. I wish I had worn something like that for my civil marriage..
Hay un tipo de clínica en Vietnam donde te piden que tragues una solución de agua salada que induce el vómito. Te dan un tazón de papel y luego, cuando has vomitado en el tazón, proceden a hacer un "análisis de vómitos" donde analizan lo que hay en el tazón y te dan una impresión de tus niveles de nutrientes e información de hidratación. Esto cuesta 12 dólares estadounidenses y es muy popular allí.
Why would you not have full wedding gown in civil marriage? It's not dedicated only for a church. Except that not everyone is going to have a church wedding because they just don't believe in God. Wedding gown can be whatever you like as it's your wedding.
@@darinakalinova2180 I think if a couple decide on a civil wedding, it's clearly different values (all good, not judging in any way!) and a different vibe. A traditional 'bridal' gown in a civil service seems out of place. I love Anna's choice. It's pared down elegance - and different values at play.
I would opt for a wedding like hers with few people and less expenses over any traditional wedding where you invite people you havent even met in in your entire life and spending fortune on them any day.
I love the moment that you mentioned it's all about how you look at it. I agree with you. So positive and inspiring. Wish you all my blessing for your another chapter in your life :)
I am so happy for you MS. Anna! I am only 16 right now but I want to be just like you when I grow up. It's so refreshing to see someone like you in today's society. Much love and congratulations on the wedding!!
I did a lockdown wedding too. I live on Venice beach, so we just went out to the beach for a short ceremony. My sister came, she was the only guest, the maid of honer, ring bearer, best man and photographer! I am glad we did it then, the focus was on the union, and not a party. It was really beautiful, the sunset was magic, and it was on the blue moon, so it all made sense! Much happiness to you and your husband Anna!!!!!
I remember you talking a bit about it in your first course. My beautiful tutor and mentor, you look gorgeous as ever. Sending you so much love and happiness. On behalf of all your students, we love you! 😘
Ah Anna! I am so happy for you! Coming from an Arabic background myself, I am even happier that you’re a part of our culture. Lebanese weddings are THE best and most memorable. I can’t wait to see how this chapter of your life unfolds. All my love and best wishes my dear.
Thank you for being open about the fact that you use an astrologer. As a professional astrologer myself, I have done numerous "elections" for clients over the years, for weddings, business incorporation, website launches, moving into a new home, surgery etc. There are so many people that secretly use astrology to better their life and their business and don't talk about it publicly because they are afraid to be judged. Kudos to you Anna for your openess and honesty!😊
The first thought I had when I saw your wedding dress was that it looked just like Carrie's. Knowing how much you like that show, it made sense to me. I'm glad you chose the "simple, sweet suit" and not the outrageous one that caused all the problems lol.
I had a big wedding (to please the mother in law), but what I really wanted was a civil ceremony like yours. I would have taken your masked ceremony over mine. I'm private and simple. I regret my wedding. It's so nice to hear you laugh and smile talking about your wedding.
1) you don’t need to excuse your sweating, it is natural and honestly didn’t notice until you mentioned it 😂 2) you look so nice here 3) having a wedding where you husband is from sounds like fun!
I think it's wonderful that the focus was on the two of you and what was important - the joining of your lives together. A big wedding doesn't mean a great marriage. I think you have a great start 💗
Excellent video as always. Beautiful outfit, congrats on the wedding. I wish a lot of happiness for the couple! My wedding was in 2014, with less than ten people at the ceremony. I did a church+civil wedding together on the church and after that a dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. I love private weddings they are so elegant and perfect. We traveled on a honeymoon the day after.
Congratulations Anna! I thought the wedding suit looked perfect and classic. I have read that you should choose an outfit that is classic and you will still love for decades to come. I think that micro weddings are something we will think of as an option for years after the pandemic, something I have always been attracted to.
Me and my husband had our marriage registered at 9 a.m.)) It was November, chilly and foggy, and it was also a weekday, I believe it was Wednesday or Thursday. We could not even have a glass of champagne to celebrate because the restaurants were still closed) Last year we celebrated our 10th anniversary) So maybe you don’t need a designer dress and a fancy wedding, you only need the right person beside you ❤️
Anna/Ms. Elegance I celebrate all that you do and promote. A woman has to first value herself before others value her. I completely support your movement💕 As a Nigerian American woman, I can tell you that hypergamy is heavily taught and encouraged in the Nigerian Igbo culture and always has been regardless of the accomplishments or accolades of the woman. This practice is deeply ingrained in our cultural practices regardless of weight, skin tone socioeconomic status, or looks, whilst upkeep is very much encouraged for young ladies/women. If a woman is of high status or value prior to marriage, she is expected to marry her equivalent or higher even still. A strong male provider is always the aim for parents when raising their sons. We even till this day still have dowry payments and bride prize- where the future husband is to pay his future in-laws (money or goods) for the bride’s hand in marriage as to demonstrate his serious intentions of marrying the bride and taking good care of her. The woman is always seen as the prize. I love elegance culture. 💕
The beautiful amount of love and happiness showing on you face melted my heart . May the lord blessing your life and your Marriage. Thank u for sharing with us . Love u
Congratulations!! My husband and I also did a civil wedding and 2 years later did a ceremony. Best decision every since we had a similar situation to you trying to get all the paper work done in time. It was very stressful I couldn’t imagine trying to do all the paper work with multiple embassies AND also plan a big ceremony/party at the same time.
Good for you. Happy to know that your set boundaries with your toxic family while still young. It took me 56 years. Please heed my advise.......DO NOT BREAK BOUNDARIES WITH YOUR FAMILY!!! To them, that is their confirmation of your weakness and they will eat you alive!!!! Take it from an old woman, please. Happiness always kiddo.
@@Bacchante86 you are welcome kiddo. I am happy that I can help people stay out of that vicious circle. Its hard, yes, but there are a lot of good people out there, I know, I made it thanks to the many that stretched out a hand. You will do good. Hopefully I will be in Italy soon and enjoy the rest of my life.
Anna! This was such an amazing story and video! I love how you laugh and giggle about the day. I too had a civil wedding (many years ago) and always thought I would have a second ceremony, but its never bothered me or come up! We travel so much tat we feel like we are on honeymoon all the time. Just enjoying each other- and at the end of the day thats whats important. I have a few friends and family who had the big ceremony and ALL OF THEM are divorced.... 🤔
I just love you so much... Sometimes during the day when I need to make a decision, I think ''what would Anna do?'' You're doing great work, it changed me so much.
Love you Anna! You were a beautiful, beautiful bride. That Carrie-inspired dress is iconic, and very elegant and mature, perfect for the occasion and the seriousness of the lockdown situation. I have a couple acquitances who had a wedding in 2020 and this gave opportunities to some beautiful, intimate garden ceremonies with only a few people invited. I just love that and the commitment. I wish you all the happiness and I hope you will be fulfilled and safe in your marriage 💖
You are gorgeous. I can't imagine how hard it is to go through wedding during a pandemic. You are a role model to many. Take care of yourself and be happy because that what truly matters.
Congratulations dear Anna!!! May God bless your union abundantly!! Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your valuable work!!
Congrats..my sister's wedding was last weekend and did it in Morikami Museum outdoors and no masks..she had 11 adults 2 children. It was small , very elegant yet sweet wedding. Afterwards a beautiful restaurant. No masks of coarse..times are better now for weddings.
Dear Anna, Congratulations. I'm very happy for you. I'm not a psychic but I saw a dream of your wedding preparations and your actual wedding ceremony. I even saw your elegant wedding dress and I couldn't believe my eyes after watching this video. I guess it was a premonition that actually happened. You look very elegant and beautiful as always.

Doesn't it feel wonderful to say "My husband", instead of saying my boyfriend or my fiance? :D Congrratulations!!
no difference to me. this is an institutional practice.
I know 🥰 It'll be lovely when I get to say that.
Bring marriages back!! It’s such a wonderful thing! Marriage is a covenant, not just a paper!!
I think husband sounds better than partner. It really does feel different being his wife! I’ve been there and done that.
I really hope your life will give you better satisfactions than this.

I am a Lebanese subscriber, so happy for you Mabrouk! it means congratulations in Arabic :) we hope to see you in Beirut someday!
I think this was a classy wedding. I find big rich weddings often a bit tacky. Since you are all about class, I think this was a great wedding and reflected your values.
It's like Kate and William... A bit tacky... 🤪😄😁😆😅🤣😂 You guys are hilarious... When you like people you don't even think in what you say... Oh! My wedding was small only 75 guests, but I'm not going around telling my friends their wedding was tacky because they had 300 guests...
As a fellow Aries, I agree with everything you've said and done. Never chase the man, let him chase you. If he is interested, he will never be too busy or far away, he will always make the effort. Is your friend who introduced you still dating the other guy?
True ❤

Congratulations Anna!!! Successful people always move in silence.
Nice touch you wrote it instead of watching the phone. That was the moment I understand everything you talked about it. Like the water. " very" nice touch... or should I say 'how charming ' outstanding 👏
You are an engaging storyteller! I love how you recounted your lovestory from the time you met your husband up until your wedding day! I was hooked from start tio finish. Congratulations on your wedding!😍
Congrats! This adds much credibility to what you teach.
Great point about credibility...🎯
One thing about our lady Anna, she knows cobalt blue is her color! 😍
Yes she is Very Beautiful 😍 and that blue is totally her color
Communicating expectations and setting boundaries right up from the get-go...those are priceless.
Your wedding planning and day are the epitome of class - intelligence, responsibility, focus on what is truly important about marriage, understated beauty/elegance, good humor and concern for others abound. People who assume they “got away with” an unsanctioned larger wedding during the pandemic are selfish and don’t grasp the science behind asymptomatic and tertiary infections. But back on topic, sending all best wishes to you and your husband for many years of happiness❣️❣️❣️
I am from Peru, I've watched a lot of your videos, I really find useful your advice for clothing, buying, styling, and how to look like an elegant lady... I didn't forget to subscribe, and likes...women like me wants to look classy even though I am not affluent. Marriage is an important step on life, I really wish you all the happiness that women deserve. Hope you continue teaching us and giving elegance to the world through your work.
Congratulations, Anna, to you and your husband! May God Bless your marriage. Wish you health and happiness 💕
As a Lebanese I can confirm that our weddings are so extra and over the top❤️ Congratulations
You looked elegant on your wedding, but most importantly is that YOU were happy and comfortable with your decision on what to wear on your wedding.
Omg I never knew you had graves disease, and I have it too. This is so relatable. Would love to see a video about your experience through that journey.
Last you look stunning in that blue dress.
Your wedding suit was 100% spot on for the type of ceremony you had. It is stunning. It can also be used in your more formal church ceremony as an "exit" outfit as you are leaving the reception.
We had our civil wedding (10 years ago) in Munich at 10:00 am. It was a beautiful ceremony in English Garden (Englischer Garden) combined with a breakfast/brunch in a restaurant next to a lake. A year later we had a church wedding in our home country in a small castle. Both were very special to us.
Beautiful
What a great wedding story, Anna. 🤩 You looked gorgeous. 🌸 Thank you for your generosity in sharing with us. 🥳
I SQUEALED when I saw this notification OMG. Congratulations Anna! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Your wedding was lovely! 30 years after my own sweet little wedding, my husband and I are as much in love as ever! No huge dress or guest list, just an intimate ceremony that was perfect for US ❤️
30 years... Wow... Whats the secret:)?
Congratulations on 30 years. I wish you 30 more!
I married in january. Love it. I live in north west Michigan, very north then. You can always fly to a warmer place for future anniversaries. Be positive enjoy each anniversary. Enjoy your husband for many decades.
When you said everything was French, I thought you would say The first kiss was french😂😂😂
Lol
😅😅
Amazing that you had such a classy yet down-to-earth marriage ceremony.
yeah, right? i feel like this video explained a part of Anna we rarely see this clearly. It's about being down to Earth no matter how affluent and perfect you are. I feel I appreciate her even more now.
Hey Anna, I'm so in love with you.... positive, elegent, genuine, simplicity, classy and responsible... congratulations for your wedding...
Congratulations my mentor.2021 is my year.i manifested a man of mean,rich, respectful, and I met exactly the kind of man.who takes care of me and my daughters fully.hes a provider and protector. I manifest my engagement this year in dubai before June and my wedding december.wish me good luck🙏🇰🇪
Congratulations hun. Blessings to you 🙏🏽
I’m so surprised that people actually asked, Why you didn’t wear a fancy gown... I mean seriously don’t they know the difference between a civil marriage and a full blown wedding reception.. 🙄 I think Anna looked stunning in her civil marriage outfit.. so polished .. I wish I had worn something like that for my civil marriage..
Hay un tipo de clínica en Vietnam donde te piden que tragues una solución de agua salada que induce el vómito. Te dan un tazón de papel y luego, cuando has vomitado en el tazón, proceden a hacer un "análisis de vómitos" donde analizan lo que hay en el tazón y te dan una impresión de tus niveles de nutrientes e información de hidratación. Esto cuesta 12 dólares estadounidenses y es muy popular allí.
Why would you not have full wedding gown in civil marriage? It's not dedicated only for a church. Except that not everyone is going to have a church wedding because they just don't believe in God. Wedding gown can be whatever you like as it's your wedding.
@@darinakalinova2180 I think if a couple decide on a civil wedding, it's clearly different values (all good, not judging in any way!) and a different vibe. A traditional 'bridal' gown in a civil service seems out of place. I love Anna's choice. It's pared down elegance - and different values at play.
I would opt for a wedding like hers with few people and less expenses over any traditional wedding where you invite people you havent even met in in your entire life and spending fortune on them any day.
Yes you can wear a full wedding dress in court. Not everyone wants a church wedding.
Anna your sharing this challenging yet intimate ritual is precious because of the circumstances... Love shouldn't have to wait ♥️
I don’t know if it’s that honeymoon glow or the beautiful color you’re wearing but your eyes are so bright and sparkly!
Congratulations! You looked beautiful, and I think that ceremony was PERFECT! ❤️ Lisa
Congratulations Anna and hubby. Wishing to many blessings.
The ceremony was perfect. ANNA and again many more blessings.
stunning ...
I love the moment that you mentioned it's all about how you look at it. I agree with you. So positive and inspiring. Wish you all my blessing for your another chapter in your life :)
As a Lebanese🇱🇧 I can assure you that Lebanese weddings are the most elegant and extravagant weddings in the world!!🤗😉
Totally agree. I live in UAE and saw a lot of Arabic weddings. These all were the lavish marriages
Totallyyy agree i follow a page in instagram that post ur weddings its marvelous😍
I think Indian weddings are the most extravagant 😬
They aren't that extravagant to me , but I guess in the middle east and north Africa, weddings are a bit over the top
@@Niushaaslk What’s the IG page?
I am so happy for you MS. Anna! I am only 16 right now but I want to be just like you when I grow up. It's so refreshing to see someone like you in today's society. Much love and congratulations on the wedding!!
I did a lockdown wedding too. I live on Venice beach, so we just went out to the beach for a short ceremony. My sister came, she was the only guest, the maid of honer, ring bearer, best man and photographer! I am glad we did it then, the focus was on the union, and not a party. It was really beautiful, the sunset was magic, and it was on the blue moon, so it all made sense! Much happiness to you and your husband Anna!!!!!
I remember you talking a bit about it in your first course. My beautiful tutor and mentor, you look gorgeous as ever. Sending you so much love and happiness. On behalf of all your students, we love you! 😘
Ah Anna! I am so happy for you! Coming from an Arabic background myself, I am even happier that you’re a part of our culture. Lebanese weddings are THE best and most memorable. I can’t wait to see how this chapter of your life unfolds.
All my love and best wishes my dear.
Thank you for being open about the fact that you use an astrologer. As a professional astrologer myself, I have done numerous "elections" for clients over the years, for weddings, business incorporation, website launches, moving into a new home, surgery etc. There are so many people that secretly use astrology to better their life and their business and don't talk about it publicly because they are afraid to be judged. Kudos to you Anna for your openess and honesty!😊
Winter can be a magical time! Not to mention, you always seem to look just as stunning in the winter as you do any other time Anna! Congratulation❤️
The first thought I had when I saw your wedding dress was that it looked just like Carrie's. Knowing how much you like that show, it made sense to me. I'm glad you chose the "simple, sweet suit" and not the outrageous one that caused all the problems lol.
Such a positive and wonderful attitude ❤️ Many many congratulations to you and your husband!!!! Wishing you a lifetime of love and laughter!!
I had a big wedding (to please the mother in law), but what I really wanted was a civil ceremony like yours. I would have taken your masked ceremony over mine. I'm private and simple. I regret my wedding. It's so nice to hear you laugh and smile talking about your wedding.
1) you don’t need to excuse your sweating, it is natural and honestly didn’t notice until you mentioned it 😂
2) you look so nice here
3) having a wedding where you husband is from sounds like fun!
Right! Love the makeup, hair and dress on her!
Anna, your wedding was simple yet incredibly elegant!! Congratulations
I think it's wonderful that the focus was on the two of you and what was important - the joining of your lives together. A big wedding doesn't mean a great marriage. I think you have a great start 💗
Omg he is from Lebanon!!! Love it💕 Take advantage of his rich culture and do crazy big joyous wedding in there😘😘
Lol 😂 in Lebanon the bride’s parents have to pay for the wedding. I don’t think her parents will pay for it 🤔
@@Luckyiam888 lol what? Are you Lebanese yourself? It’s actually the opposite, the groom’s family pays for the wedding. 🤷♀️
Excellent video as always. Beautiful outfit, congrats on the wedding. I wish a lot of happiness for the couple! My wedding was in 2014, with less than ten people at the ceremony. I did a church+civil wedding together on the church and after that a dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. I love private weddings they are so elegant and perfect. We traveled on a honeymoon the day after.
Congratulations Anna! I thought the wedding suit looked perfect and classic. I have read that you should choose an outfit that is classic and you will still love for decades to come. I think that micro weddings are something we will think of as an option for years after the pandemic, something I have always been attracted to.
Me and my husband had our marriage registered at 9 a.m.)) It was November, chilly and foggy, and it was also a weekday, I believe it was Wednesday or Thursday. We could not even have a glass of champagne to celebrate because the restaurants were still closed)
Last year we celebrated our 10th anniversary)
So maybe you don’t need a designer dress and a fancy wedding, you only need the right person beside you ❤️
Anna/Ms. Elegance I celebrate all that you do and promote. A woman has to first value herself before others value her. I completely support your movement💕
As a Nigerian American woman, I can tell you that hypergamy is heavily taught and encouraged in the Nigerian Igbo culture and always has been regardless of the accomplishments or accolades of the woman. This practice is deeply ingrained in our cultural practices regardless of weight, skin tone socioeconomic status, or looks, whilst upkeep is very much encouraged for young ladies/women.
If a woman is of high status or value prior to marriage, she is expected to marry her equivalent or higher even still.
A strong male provider is always the aim for parents when raising their sons. We even till this day still have dowry payments and bride prize- where the future husband is to pay his future in-laws (money or goods) for the bride’s hand in marriage as to demonstrate his serious intentions of marrying the bride and taking good care of her. The woman is always seen as the prize. I love elegance culture. 💕
The beautiful amount of love and happiness showing on you face melted my heart . May the lord blessing your life and your Marriage.
Thank u for sharing with us .
Love u
Never thought i’d see this video👀 thanks for sharing🤗
Lovely. Elegant, intimate and down to earth. This video was a very translucent glimpse into your central values. Refreshing.
Congratulations!! My husband and I also did a civil wedding and 2 years later did a ceremony. Best decision every since we had a similar situation to you trying to get all the paper work done in time. It was very stressful I couldn’t imagine trying to do all the paper work with multiple embassies AND also plan a big ceremony/party at the same time.
Congratulations
Good for you. Happy to know that your set boundaries with your toxic family while still young. It took me 56 years. Please heed my advise.......DO NOT BREAK BOUNDARIES WITH YOUR FAMILY!!! To them, that is their confirmation of your weakness and they will eat you alive!!!! Take it from an old woman, please. Happiness always kiddo.
@@reginapolo3357 thank you very much for your suport and kind words
@@reginapolo3357 so here I am, three months in Greece enjoying my new life, new job and enviroment
@@Bacchante86 you are welcome kiddo. I am happy that I can help people stay out of that vicious circle. Its hard, yes, but there are a lot of good people out there, I know, I made it thanks to the many that stretched out a hand. You will do good. Hopefully I will be in Italy soon and enjoy the rest of my life.
Anna! This was such an amazing story and video! I love how you laugh and giggle about the day. I too had a civil wedding (many years ago) and always thought I would have a second ceremony, but its never bothered me or come up! We travel so much tat we feel like we are on honeymoon all the time. Just enjoying each other- and at the end of the day thats whats important. I have a few friends and family who had the big ceremony and ALL OF THEM are divorced.... 🤔
I just love you so much... Sometimes during the day when I need to make a decision, I think ''what would Anna do?'' You're doing great work, it changed me so much.
I almost screamed, Ana!!!! Congratulations I am so happy for you! God bless!
Love you Anna! You were a beautiful, beautiful bride. That Carrie-inspired dress is iconic, and very elegant and mature, perfect for the occasion and the seriousness of the lockdown situation. I have a couple acquitances who had a wedding in 2020 and this gave opportunities to some beautiful, intimate garden ceremonies with only a few people invited. I just love that and the commitment. I wish you all the happiness and I hope you will be fulfilled and safe in your marriage 💖
You are gorgeous. I can't imagine how hard it is to go through wedding during a pandemic. You are a role model to many. Take care of yourself and be happy because that what truly matters.
Congratulations dear Anna!!! May God bless your union abundantly!!
Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your valuable work!!
I love your attitude ! You turned all the obstacles into a wonderful, memorable day!
Congrats..my sister's wedding was last weekend and did it in Morikami Museum outdoors and no masks..she had 11 adults 2 children. It was small , very elegant yet sweet wedding. Afterwards a beautiful restaurant. No masks of coarse..times are better now for weddings.
That is if the demonic!
Dear Anna,
Congratulations. I'm very happy for you. I'm not a psychic but I saw a dream of your wedding preparations and your actual wedding ceremony. I even saw your elegant wedding dress and I couldn't believe my eyes after watching this video. I guess it was a premonition that actually happened. You look very elegant and beautiful as always.
You sound so so happy!! You’re bursting with joy! Congratulations dear Anna ❤
