I have just over a year til my Wedding! We are getting married on land, with a hog roast, sword exchange ceremony, in a tree and armour on my dress proper viking bash! Sod a wedding that doesnt suit us! We have actually only been away together once in 7 years (disneyland paris, my boys first time on a plane!) and you and Benji convinced us to book up our first cruise for our honeymoon! 14 Nights in the norweigan fjords!!! So excited for you doll, set the trend of doing whatever the f**k you want!
As much as I love hearing about other people’s wedding plans (and I really do) it also pulls on my heartstrings as I lost my husband and soulmate last November leaving me a widow at 41 years old. Love is amazing and I’m so pleased you’ve got it in your life x
I love the way you two are handling your wedding. You two and your commitment are what really matters. My husband and I are celebrating 14 years married tomorrow and I can honestly say, the wedding is fun but it’s the marriage that counts ❤
I love your comments at the end about being your best self and not some version of yourself that you thought was better from the past... and you're right - Benji loves you because you are perfect the way you are! ❤
This is so sweet. It’s so nice that you are making your day right for you and not just doing what’s expected. I think it’s a great sign for your future relationship and how much you really are truly seen by each other. Hope the day is amazing for you.
We have been so lucky to be on a few P&O cruise and have seen weddings taken place 😊 they are done with elegance and style. Will be a lovely day for you both xx
6 months already!!! It all sounds so exciting Brogan. 👰🏼♀️💍💜 Please continue to share with us any updates as your pre-wedding planning moves forward 🙏🏼 Congrats Brogan, sounds like a blummin' lovely day you and Benji have planned. X
When I saw you get engaged it was so emotional for me because I’ve watched you for so long, pretty much from the start and you are the same age as me.. I then got engaged 2 months after! Seeing you planning your wedding is like having a gal pal who is getting married at the same time as me it’s been fab! sending you lots of love and cannot wait to see/hear more about your plans gal!!! 🤍
My husband & I had an unconventional wedding & it was the best decision we made. We got ready together over a glass of fizz & took our time we didn’t have a traditional wedding reception then jetted off on honeymoon it was perfect. Congrats & enjoy every minute of the planning (I loved that bit) & everything that follows sending lots of love xx
Cannot believe how quickly that has come around! Im so excited to hear all about it, love wedding chat! I was a 2013 bride so love hearing how things have changed/what things are still the same. I love how you and benji are so in tune with one another and how you werent afraid to do what you wanted as a couple as weddings always come with an opinion lol, love that! X
Congratulations! Your plans all sound wonderful and so much fun to make! You could mock up a Wedding Announcement to use for photos, in lieu of an actual invitation for your big day - and then it would be nice to use in a scrap book or frame afterwards. And a yes to those Bridal Mouse Ears!
That’s the best bit of advice about being happy as you are and benji wants to marry you as you are and not as someone completely different. If ppl can take that away it’s the best buy advice ever xx
I have said this so many times but this still feels so surreal- I used to watch your vlogs back in your flat and was 'around' when I saw you come back from your first date with Benji and then when you did your moving-in announcement. I am just so happy for you both! ❤
It sounds like you are going to have the most amazing day that you both want and that is perfect for you . I got married 34 years ago this September and how much has changed since then as to what is expected on your wedding day . There is so much I would change if i had the chance to do it again! Thank you for sharing your plans for your special day , you will look beautiful Brogan and I'm sure Benji will look very handsome x
The wedding card thing had me thinking, maybe you could invite friends and family to send a card before the cruise and then you can have a morning during the honeymoon where you have a proper loved up day, spa, breakfast in bed and sit together and open the cards. It might make you feel more connected to everyone back home within your day if that makes any sort of sense. Obviously its your wedding and you do what you think is best but could be something you may not have considered. I think this is such a beautiful way to get married. Im so excited for you both ❤
I love how you and Benji are approaching your wedding! Cannot believe you only have 6 months to go, wow! My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary last week, our wedding was wonderful but it’s the marriage that counts. If we were to get married again, I would do things differently and more for us. Do your wedding for you, not other people. I didn’t realise it was your 30th birthday when you’re onboard, what a fantastic way to celebrate all of these milestones! Very excited for you both xx
Ugh, this video makes me so happy for you! The joy and self reflection in this video is lovely! Your wedding sounds amazing! Enjoy the process and the next adventure of life. Cheers!
With your cricut you could do not an invite but like announcement of your wedding with date place time with the little items you want in a picture. Yes, wear your veil ears in Disney. I wore mine after the wedding.
This brings back so many wonderful memories of planning my wedding (we eloped too!) and how beautiful the day was. I think you'll make such a gorgeous bride! I'm glad you're trying to soak up all of the memories of the planning process and staying focused on what you and Benji want/what's important to the two of you. Thanks for sharing!
Brogan! This made me feel quite emotional! You’re going to make the most beautiful bride and I think it’s genuinely wonderful it’s just purely about the two of you. We’re looking to get married next year but it’s going to be a veryy small. My fiancé and I have even spoken about us walking down the aisle together as there will be no one giving me away as such. It’s either that or my two toddlers walking me down (which makes me emotional typing it ❤️). Please make more of these videos as you go along. I feel so lost in the wedding world. I just want to look nice, marry my best friend, have a first dance with him and my babies, eat and drink 😂 I just feel like there a million other things I have to think of. You bring such a calming take to it all xx
Love your ideas!!! We got engaged in December, but with baby nearly here we decided to start planning the wedding just after. This was always the plan as we love the idea of our baby being at our wedding❤️ Like you we don’t want a huge wedding. We have a local registry office that’s actually in a hotel, so a small low key ceremony but somewhere nice for photos! And then we want to just have a party in the evening at a social club near our house with a hog roast and a dj for extra people not at the ceremony. You’ve got to do what’s right for you and it’ll be a day to remember ❤❤❤
Hello , Im so behind with your vlogs (work and new baby in the family has been priority) anyway firstly Im so proud that you and Benji have followed your hearts and doing what "you" want to do for your wedding. I only wished we had done this. We have very similar tastes and I love your bouquet ideas and the nortical boat pictures are so fun and appropriate for your day. The eye make up is stunning and I have no doubt you can achieve that look. You are naturally attractive so I do think less is more. Also love love love the pearly nail colour. I think you have this covered and well organised. How exciting 🎉🎉 xx
You could always do a pre cruise photo shoot of all of your accessories and dress with nautical/rope type items, that way you don’t have to worry about it on the ship! Congrats to you both and have the best time ❤
My Husband and I eloped in Orlando, we then had a wedding reception about 8 weeks later. And we called it our Wedding Reception and still did all the reception style things. We cut a cake, had a first dance etc etc. Plan whatever feels right for you both! xx
So excited for you both! I had a small COVID wedding and then we did our big traditional reception on our first anniversary. On all our invites and signs we called it our "wedding celebration" I found that made the most sense for us and we were still able to have the custom things like signs/stationary that people get for their actual wedding days
2023 bride here doing a honeymoon to Tokyo Disneyland. You 100% should wear the ears! So exciting hearing all your plans. I’m a long time viewer of your channel and couldn’t be happier for you both
Loved your perspective about your marriage being your main focus. I feel so many people focus on the wedding and big day and lose sight of the marriage at the centre of it all. And also loved your positivity about feeling beautiful inside and out. 😄 Best wishes to you and Benji ❤
So excited for you ans Benji as your wedding approaches! ❤ My husband and I had a lovely wedding day at an intimate venue, but no matter what you plan, never let the stress get to you and do what you want to do. It's always easy for others to say what you should have or to focus on the things that go wrong on the day. But the most important thing is that it's you getting married to your soulmate. 😊 Nothing else matters on the day. 🩷 xx
My partner and I really love all your vlogs, your inspiring, kind, happy, and you always have a positive look on life and all the content you produce! We also love Benji too how handy he is and all the knowledge he has regarding on how to improve your home! Can’t get enough! Bonney is also the perfect dog! Love seeing her so happy and excited and she gives the love back to you guys just so precious ❤
Congratulations! You've made the best decision getting married on the cruise ship. Its going to be so special as it fits you as a couple perfectly. We eloped to Vegas with 5 close family this year while I was 7 months pregnant. It was in the gorgeous red rock canyon. We hardly did any traditions and the ceremony lasted 15 minutes. My main wedding planning tip would be to not worry about all the little details. All that matters is that your both together getting married in the setting that you want and focusing on the love you have for eachother. All the little details can add unnecessary pressure to be perfect and makes your to do list way to long. I pulled back on loads of things in the end because it got too much and kept it really simple. Also, leave plenty of time between each thing in your wedding day timeline x
It's coming around quickly for you, I love that you are doing something different for your special day and loving the updates. I am getting married June 2024 and can honestly say have been loving the planning and organising, everyone told me it would be so much stress but my fiancé and I have just been enjoying the journey ! Also the make up look you saved twice is the exact one I have saved, it's stunning !!
Can’t believe it’s only 6 months away, it’s come round so fast. I’ve never been more jealous that you’re doing a world cruise. It’s going to be incredible. I spent 3 months in Australia back in 2019 and it was the best time of my life, you are going to love it. I love that you’ve planned your wedding for you and not what everyone thinks you should do. You might be 2 strangers on the internet to me but I’m so so happy for you both and can’t wait to see whatever you post ☺️
We got married in the restrictions of Covid in 2021. In 2022 we held a Wedding Celebration and called it 'The day as it should have been'. 🎉 We celebrated two years married a couple of weeks ago and are so pleased we had our wedding for us in a small ceremony and then celebrated the day with everyone exactly a year later on our 1st anniversary. Made the day ours and not everyone else's ❤
I love hearing all the details about your wedding. It sounds perfect for you & benji. I think your gonna have the best time & I wish you all the best. ❤
I’m so so so excited for you both your doing to have an incredible and magical day and cruise. Sending all my wishes and good energy for your magical day. ❤❤
O I do love watching your wedding videos. I have six days to go and getting quite excited. We have also got a wedding playlist on our spotify and now its the playlist for the car in the lead up and token kitchen disco. Can't wait to watch the vlogs in six months!
My fiancée and I are also getting married just the two of us, next year, and so much of what you and Benji have said resonates with us. It's easy to feel selfish about making a decision for just the two of you when society expects something different, but it's beautifully reassuring to see such lovely people doing the same thing as we are. Congratulations both of you and here's to the marriage, not just the party ❤🎉
How exciting for you both, I absolutely love that you are doing your own thing and that you are very happy with how you both are, you do you. I married in Florida at Cypress Gardens (now Lego land) and had a reception/party when we got home. Loved it 😊 have the best time 🎉
I loved this video Brogan, so so lovely and I felt excited for you hearing how excited you are. I had a small wedding and it was wonderful, 10 years ago now and my very favourite part of the day was saying my vows and hearing my husband say them to me. I was unfortunately very unwell suddenly at the time of my wedding so all of the things people usually tend to worry about didn’t matter to me at all I just wanted to be well and able to marry my love :) ❤ I look forward to more wedding updates along the way! And do feel free to wear your vail 😊 xx
We eloped when we got married in 2019 and it was honestly the best thing we ever did. We also had a party a month later and just called it a wedding reception on the invites. Looking forward to all the rest of your wedding content xx
Your wedding plans sound perfect to me, what a wonderful way to go into married life. I'm sure you will look absolutely gorgeous no matter what you decide Brogan. You can get roses here in March. David Austin Roses are really full and look beautiful with Eucalyptus leaves. Freesia's should also be in bloom and come in beautiful warm colours, smell heavenly too. Not sure where you are planning on visiting in Sydney but a water taxi to Watsons Bay and lunch at Doyles on the Beach is a lovely, indulgent day out. There's sand there to take pics as well :) As far as makeup, I think you do it so well yourself, I'm a makeup artist and always tells brides to do their makeup as light as possible with a few embellishments; shimmery shadow on the lid below the crease, and demi-lashes in the outer corners is usually enough. A signature perfume is always nice too, it helps you remember the day whenever you wear it again. Sorry for long message, I'm just so friggin' excited for you both!
I just got married in January of this year! It is YOUR (and Benji’s) day so make it however YOU want it to be!! ABSOLUTELY wear the bridal ears in Disneyland!
Hi Brogan, wow it all sounds amazing how exciting!…you have some great ideas.It’s definitely true what you said about feeling good about yourself and being the best version of yourself….but also like you quite rightly said not to quote a well loved Disney movie lol…..true beauty comes from within ❤ and obviously you will look stunning on your wedding day but also Benji loves you inside & out no matter what…but I think we’re all guilty of not loving ourselves at some point and we are our own worst critics so we must all tell ourselves we’re beautiful from time to time…I can’t wait to come along on your wedding journey ❤️👰🏼🤵🏼♂️xxxxx
Hi Brogan, my husband and I did something similar 27 years ago. We wanted simple and only could get a week off from work together. Off to Hawaii we went. Marriage and honeymoon all in one. My parents sent out an official announcement that we had been married and then included an invitation to attend a celebration in honor of the newlyweds. Best to the both of you 🎉
Love watching your vlogs and hearing the plans for your wedding. My husband and I got married 10 years ago and I can still remember the excitement leading up to it. Your day sounds like it's going to be absolutely perfect 💕
Got married last year and it was the best day ever! ❤ Came here to comment as I’m from NZ and wanted to say, make sure you get out of Auckland when you’re there exploring NZ. Most of our countries magic lies outside of Auckland 🥰 hiring a car and driving north is a great idea. When you come back, definitely head to the South Island as there is SO much to see ❤
We had a big wedding with all of our family and friends. We were both so relaxed on the day, it made it so special. We loved it. My best friend did a destination wedding with just her husband, she loved it. Each to their own. The marriage matters, not how you do it❤
How exciting Brogan… Tomm jewellery have a lovely bridal collection… will you be having ‘just Married’ magnets on your crew ship door I noticed everyone has magnets they look lovely!!! X
We are getting married in April 2024 in Gretna Green with our close family then having a party at home a couple of weeks later to celebrate 💍 We really considered a big wedding but it was causing me so much stress and I feel so much happier with it this way. Really enjoyed this video and it’s so nice to see other couples having non traditional weddings too!
Hey Brogan, hope you are doing well. Love your vlogs, they are very inspirational including the Disney ones and exciting one for your wedding. My husband and I got married last year and we had a Disney inspired wedding in wales, got a lot of personalised things of Etsy, shopped at hobby craft for like a post box, we had a globe for our guests to write messages. We live not far from you guys in Dorset also. 💕 Charlotte Xx
Loved this catch up 🥰 am so so excited for you both and I just love your mindset 🥰 Brogan you are beautiful inside and out 😃 so happy for you both 🥂🍾❤️ xxxx
Nice silk pjs for wedding evening😊 and a really nice just married outfit….for following day…. Things I took with me that you might like table decorations / indoor sparklers “just married glasses” We called ours “wedding party” Re hair I was growing my hair but still would recommend getting a trim every 8-10 weeks it will grow stronger 😊
I just got back from Singapore. Went as part of my honeymoon. It is amazing! It is now my favourite city ever. You have to do Gardens by the Bay. And definitely do the Marina Bay Sands rooftop at sunset ❤
I’m sure I said something similar on your first wedding video, but this resonates with me so much. My husband and I flew to vegas, just the two of us and it was so special. You have to do what is best for you as a couple. It’s the marriage, not the wedding, that’s important ❤
My wedding perfume was Myth by Ellis Brooklyn and i love wearing it on special occasions now or just smelling it on my shelf. Picking a special perfume is my #1 recommendation to my friends when they get engaged!
I am loving this! congratulations. It sounds perfect. Very intimate and I love that you are having a celebration at home in the UK. can't wait to see whatever you choose to share :)
Well the marriage ship has likely long sailed for me and I don't foresee any weddings in the future on my front lol.. but I am truly over the moon for you guys! Oh I love the veil! You are beaming throughout this and it makes the heart sing.
Sounds perfect Brogan 😍 you will both have the best day, and best 2 months away!!! I got married just over a year ago in a small, intimate barn venue with our nearest and dearest friends and family. Similar numbers to your wedding party! Our bridesmaids wore sage green and I had hints of blush pink in my flowers, with white roses and eucalyptus. We had a really informal day with our ceremony at 4pm. Me and my bridesmaids stayed in a hotel the night before and spent the morning/ early afternoon getting ready together which was so lovely and chilled. We had canapés and Pimms after our ceremony and then a BBQ in the evening. We cut a cake and had it for pudding and had a first dance but didn’t have any speeches (my husband and dad thanked everyone for coming and raised a toast to me/ us). It was the perfect day for us 🥰 I absolutely loved the wedding planning and feel really lucky that we didn’t feel stressed at all - just really blessed and happy to be embarking on a new chapter in our lives! We then had our honeymoon on P&O Azura on a Mediterranean cruise and spent our first anniversary on P&O Iona on a Norwegian Fjords cruise! Sorry for the long comment but I would have loved to read about more informal ‘low key’ weddings when I was planning mine, as I knew I didn’t want anything big, or an expense that we would be paying for in years to come! Can’t wait to see more wedding content from you 🥰 xx
Aww that's lovely!! We have the same taste, that sounds so beautiful. If we weren't doing our plans, that is exactly the kind of day I'd love! Not too much, lots of fun, happy days! Pimms and BBQ too?! YES. Thanks so much!! xx
Congratulations to you both only 6 months to go. I love that you are both doing what you want and not what others expect. It is all about the marriage. I have just celebrated 17 years of marriage. Definitely wear the disney weddings ears and you could always bring a few small nautical decorations for your table when you have your wedding meal. Im so excited for you both. Another brilliant video xxx
Lovely video ☺️👰🏻♀️ my friends got married in the Caribbean this year and then had a party in the UK earlier this summer. They had a sign saying “We’re married. Let’s celebrate!” Followed by the bride and groom’s names plus the date which looked lovely.
I'm getting married this October and I really needed your little pick me up at the end of the video ❤ you also convince me to try Dermatica...loving it so far x
My Husband and I renewed on wedding vows on p&o Azura to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Our wedding planner was fantastic and organised everything for us onboard. We had such a lovely day. Looking forward to all your wedding prep videos. Xx
When I got married we had our reception in the local coop hall my family had decorated it in my wedding colours of black white and silver omg it looked beautiful. You don’t have to go mad in spending for the one day but that doesn’t mean a wedding can’t be gorgeous on a budget.
I just can’t wait for your wedding! I feel like I’m a guest and counting down the days with you!🤣 You already know I’ve been here since the start but seeing you plan a wedding makes me so emotional & excited!🥹🥰
Soooo excited for you both!!! ❤The bridesmaid dresses and the invitations are very much like the one my son and daughter in law had on their wedding day!! 😁....And that was Perfect!🥰
Love hearing all the wedding plans😍 I am a July 2024 bride and am so excited for it all! It is all overwhelming but I’m trying to enjoy the experience as much as I can hahah
My oldest daughter's wedding is four weeks from TODAY!!! 😯🤗😯 She and her groom live about a thousand miles away, but are coming here to Savannah, Georgia to get married. The groom's mother and I both live here, so we're taking care of many of the details. 😊 We assembled many of the bouquets and boutonnieres this last week: SO fun!!! I'm also making the cake and cupcakes, plus two different kinds of.mints. BUSY month ahead!!! YES!!! You should ABSOLUTELY wear you Minnie bridal ears!!! 👰👰👰 It sounds like you're getting things done and are well organized!!! Thanks for the chat!!! Continued love and health from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜
Your day sounds perfect. We have been married 24 years in October. Our New York wedding was perfect for us. City Hall then horse and carriage ride in Central Park and dinner at the Waldorf Astoria ❤
Six months until my big day 😍 I definitely need to start saving more photos of ideas! Thank you for sharing ☺️ My parents attended a wedding party after the couple of married weeks before. They called it the happily ever after party 🥰 xxxx
This could have been an hour long-I just love it! I am newly engaged and we have to wait for a visa (I’m from the US and he’s from Sweden and we want to live here) so it’s nice to hear you so excited! It helps me get excited too!!
Hi brogan, wow only 6 months to go ,i love hearing some of your details they sound beautiful 😊, i celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary in march and had a big bday the same day so double celebrations for me 😂 cannot wait for more details if you have any and to see the dress , you and benji make such a beautiful couple and clearly you love for one another shines through 😊 much love x
It all sounds very exciting Brogan . Even getting married on a cruise ship makes it even more different and special . I bet when you both went out to find your wedding dress you had a lot of happy tears as well. Are you having someone there to Vlog or Record your wedding day ? Congrats to you both and may you both have some more lovely years and time together after it . Xx🥳🥰🎉🎂
I’m so happy for you both! Do you plan to wear your dress again when you have your after party? We just celebrated our 28th anniversary this year and if I had to do it again, We’d do the same and elope. It sounds so romantic and just perfect for the two of you. Enjoy this time! 💕
You are definitely stunning as you are Brogan ❤ loved planning our day 11years ago on the 31st august , I’d called your wedding party a wedding reception 😊 xx
Welcome back pals! Are you planning a wedding? 😀👰🏻♀️💒🥂
If we do get married (we've been together for 8 years), we'll do it just like you - just the two of us. Probably at Disney. 😄
I have just over a year til my Wedding! We are getting married on land, with a hog roast, sword exchange ceremony, in a tree and armour on my dress proper viking bash! Sod a wedding that doesnt suit us! We have actually only been away together once in 7 years (disneyland paris, my boys first time on a plane!) and you and Benji convinced us to book up our first cruise for our honeymoon! 14 Nights in the norweigan fjords!!! So excited for you doll, set the trend of doing whatever the f**k you want!
Congratulations🎉, im getting married in October onboard p&os ventura x
We called our party our Happily Ever After Party ❤
As much as I love hearing about other people’s wedding plans (and I really do) it also pulls on my heartstrings as I lost my husband and soulmate last November leaving me a widow at 41 years old. Love is amazing and I’m so pleased you’ve got it in your life x
I’m so sorry to hear this. Sending you so much love ❤
Love and hugs sent too you x
I'm so so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how hard that must be. Sending heaps of love x
I love the way you two are handling your wedding. You two and your commitment are what really matters. My husband and I are celebrating 14 years married tomorrow and I can honestly say, the wedding is fun but it’s the marriage that counts ❤
Thank you so much! Wow, happy wedding anniversary!! xx
We had a very intimate wedding with only 12 guests & then a party a week later and we called it “our happily ever after party” 💕 so excited for you! x
That's lovely!! LOVE that xx
I love your comments at the end about being your best self and not some version of yourself that you thought was better from the past... and you're right - Benji loves you because you are perfect the way you are! ❤
You are so wise making your wedding about the two of you and not an event to please other people. You’ll make an absolutely beautiful bride!❤️
This is so sweet. It’s so nice that you are making your day right for you and not just doing what’s expected. I think it’s a great sign for your future relationship and how much you really are truly seen by each other. Hope the day is amazing for you.
Thank you so much! xx
We have been so lucky to be on a few P&O cruise and have seen weddings taken place 😊 they are done with elegance and style. Will be a lovely day for you both xx
6 months already!!! It all sounds so exciting Brogan. 👰🏼♀️💍💜 Please continue to share with us any updates as your pre-wedding planning moves forward 🙏🏼 Congrats Brogan, sounds like a blummin' lovely day you and Benji have planned. X
Thank you Lily!! xx
When I saw you get engaged it was so emotional for me because I’ve watched you for so long, pretty much from the start and you are the same age as me.. I then got engaged 2 months after! Seeing you planning your wedding is like having a gal pal who is getting married at the same time as me it’s been fab! sending you lots of love and cannot wait to see/hear more about your plans gal!!! 🤍
Oh wow! Congrats Emily!! I love this so much 🥹 Sending love back!! xx
So looking forward to your videos of the cruise, the places you go and the food you eat. Absolutely love all your vlogs! I am taking notes
My husband & I had an unconventional wedding & it was the best decision we made. We got ready together over a glass of fizz & took our time we didn’t have a traditional wedding reception then jetted off on honeymoon it was perfect. Congrats & enjoy every minute of the planning (I loved that bit) & everything that follows sending lots of love xx
I love that! Thank you for sharing! xx
Cannot believe how quickly that has come around! Im so excited to hear all about it, love wedding chat! I was a 2013 bride so love hearing how things have changed/what things are still the same. I love how you and benji are so in tune with one another and how you werent afraid to do what you wanted as a couple as weddings always come with an opinion lol, love that! X
Congratulations! Your plans all sound wonderful and so much fun to make! You could mock up a Wedding Announcement to use for photos, in lieu of an actual invitation for your big day - and then it would be nice to use in a scrap book or frame afterwards. And a yes to those Bridal Mouse Ears!
That’s the best bit of advice about being happy as you are and benji wants to marry you as you are and not as someone completely different. If ppl can take that away it’s the best buy advice ever xx
I have said this so many times but this still feels so surreal- I used to watch your vlogs back in your flat and was 'around' when I saw you come back from your first date with Benji and then when you did your moving-in announcement. I am just so happy for you both! ❤
It sounds like you are going to have the most amazing day that you both want and that is perfect for you . I got married 34 years ago this September and how much has changed since then as to what is expected on your wedding day . There is so much I would change if i had the chance to do it again! Thank you for sharing your plans for your special day , you will look beautiful Brogan and I'm sure Benji will look very handsome x
The wedding card thing had me thinking, maybe you could invite friends and family to send a card before the cruise and then you can have a morning during the honeymoon where you have a proper loved up day, spa, breakfast in bed and sit together and open the cards. It might make you feel more connected to everyone back home within your day if that makes any sort of sense. Obviously its your wedding and you do what you think is best but could be something you may not have considered. I think this is such a beautiful way to get married. Im so excited for you both ❤
I love how you and Benji are approaching your wedding! Cannot believe you only have 6 months to go, wow! My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary last week, our wedding was wonderful but it’s the marriage that counts. If we were to get married again, I would do things differently and more for us. Do your wedding for you, not other people. I didn’t realise it was your 30th birthday when you’re onboard, what a fantastic way to celebrate all of these milestones! Very excited for you both xx
Wow! Happy 10th Anniversary! Thank you for sharing that, and for your kindness! xx
Ugh, this video makes me so happy for you! The joy and self reflection in this video is lovely! Your wedding sounds amazing! Enjoy the process and the next adventure of life. Cheers!
With your cricut you could do not an invite but like announcement of your wedding with date place time with the little items you want in a picture. Yes, wear your veil ears in Disney. I wore mine after the wedding.
This brings back so many wonderful memories of planning my wedding (we eloped too!) and how beautiful the day was. I think you'll make such a gorgeous bride! I'm glad you're trying to soak up all of the memories of the planning process and staying focused on what you and Benji want/what's important to the two of you. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve had a really tough night and still emotional and sad today, this video was just so soothing to watch and enjoy. Thanks
Brogan! This made me feel quite emotional! You’re going to make the most beautiful bride and I think it’s genuinely wonderful it’s just purely about the two of you. We’re looking to get married next year but it’s going to be a veryy small. My fiancé and I have even spoken about us walking down the aisle together as there will be no one giving me away as such. It’s either that or my two toddlers walking me down (which makes me emotional typing it ❤️). Please make more of these videos as you go along. I feel so lost in the wedding world. I just want to look nice, marry my best friend, have a first dance with him and my babies, eat and drink 😂 I just feel like there a million other things I have to think of. You bring such a calming take to it all xx
Love your ideas!!! We got engaged in December, but with baby nearly here we decided to start planning the wedding just after. This was always the plan as we love the idea of our baby being at our wedding❤️
Like you we don’t want a huge wedding. We have a local registry office that’s actually in a hotel, so a small low key ceremony but somewhere nice for photos! And then we want to just have a party in the evening at a social club near our house with a hog roast and a dj for extra people not at the ceremony. You’ve got to do what’s right for you and it’ll be a day to remember ❤❤❤
also planning a 2024 wedding so please carry on sharing all your wedmin & planning!! x
Hello , Im so behind with your vlogs (work and new baby in the family has been priority) anyway firstly Im so proud that you and Benji have followed your hearts and doing what "you" want to do for your wedding. I only wished we had done this. We have very similar tastes and I love your bouquet ideas and the nortical boat pictures are so fun and appropriate for your day. The eye make up is stunning and I have no doubt you can achieve that look. You are naturally attractive so I do think less is more. Also love love love the pearly nail colour. I think you have this covered and well organised. How exciting 🎉🎉 xx
You could always do a pre cruise photo shoot of all of your accessories and dress with nautical/rope type items, that way you don’t have to worry about it on the ship! Congrats to you both and have the best time ❤
That's a good idea! xx
My Husband and I eloped in Orlando, we then had a wedding reception about 8 weeks later. And we called it our Wedding Reception and still did all the reception style things. We cut a cake, had a first dance etc etc.
Plan whatever feels right for you both! xx
So excited for you both! I had a small COVID wedding and then we did our big traditional reception on our first anniversary. On all our invites and signs we called it our "wedding celebration" I found that made the most sense for us and we were still able to have the custom things like signs/stationary that people get for their actual wedding days
2023 bride here doing a honeymoon to Tokyo Disneyland. You 100% should wear the ears! So exciting hearing all your plans. I’m a long time viewer of your channel and couldn’t be happier for you both
Thank you! Congrats!! xx
1000 % agree!!!
Loved your perspective about your marriage being your main focus. I feel so many people focus on the wedding and big day and lose sight of the marriage at the centre of it all. And also loved your positivity about feeling beautiful inside and out. 😄 Best wishes to you and Benji ❤
So excited for you ans Benji as your wedding approaches! ❤ My husband and I had a lovely wedding day at an intimate venue, but no matter what you plan, never let the stress get to you and do what you want to do. It's always easy for others to say what you should have or to focus on the things that go wrong on the day. But the most important thing is that it's you getting married to your soulmate. 😊 Nothing else matters on the day. 🩷 xx
My partner and I really love all your vlogs, your inspiring, kind, happy, and you always have a positive look on life and all the content you produce! We also love Benji too how handy he is and all the knowledge he has regarding on how to improve your home! Can’t get enough! Bonney is also the perfect dog! Love seeing her so happy and excited and she gives the love back to you guys just so precious ❤
As you are, beautiful inside and out! It’s going to be an absolutely beautiful day for you both! 👰🏻♀️🤵🏻♂️🩷
Congratulations! You've made the best decision getting married on the cruise ship. Its going to be so special as it fits you as a couple perfectly.
We eloped to Vegas with 5 close family this year while I was 7 months pregnant. It was in the gorgeous red rock canyon. We hardly did any traditions and the ceremony lasted 15 minutes.
My main wedding planning tip would be to not worry about all the little details. All that matters is that your both together getting married in the setting that you want and focusing on the love you have for eachother. All the little details can add unnecessary pressure to be perfect and makes your to do list way to long. I pulled back on loads of things in the end because it got too much and kept it really simple.
Also, leave plenty of time between each thing in your wedding day timeline x
It's coming around quickly for you, I love that you are doing something different for your special day and loving the updates. I am getting married June 2024 and can honestly say have been loving the planning and organising, everyone told me it would be so much stress but my fiancé and I have just been enjoying the journey ! Also the make up look you saved twice is the exact one I have saved, it's stunning !!
Thank you so much! Congrats, I'm so pleased you are enjoying it. My bestie Bianca is LOVING it too which makes me so happy! xx
Your wedding day sounds so beautiful, getting ready together and enjoying music that means something to both of you x
Can’t believe it’s only 6 months away, it’s come round so fast. I’ve never been more jealous that you’re doing a world cruise. It’s going to be incredible. I spent 3 months in Australia back in 2019 and it was the best time of my life, you are going to love it. I love that you’ve planned your wedding for you and not what everyone thinks you should do. You might be 2 strangers on the internet to me but I’m so so happy for you both and can’t wait to see whatever you post ☺️
Thank you so much! Australia has my heart already, I am SO excited I can't believe we are finally going!! Thank you so much!! xx
Eeeek I'm SO excited for you B 😍😍🎉 You and Benj are just the best, I just love seeing your journey together ❤
We got married in the restrictions of Covid in 2021. In 2022 we held a Wedding Celebration and called it 'The day as it should have been'. 🎉 We celebrated two years married a couple of weeks ago and are so pleased we had our wedding for us in a small ceremony and then celebrated the day with everyone exactly a year later on our 1st anniversary. Made the day ours and not everyone else's ❤
I love hearing all the details about your wedding. It sounds perfect for you & benji. I think your gonna have the best time & I wish you all the best. ❤
The joy and excitement in this video is wonderful! ❤
Thank you!! xx
I’m so so so excited for you both your doing to have an incredible and magical day and cruise. Sending all my wishes and good energy for your magical day. ❤❤
O I do love watching your wedding videos. I have six days to go and getting quite excited. We have also got a wedding playlist on our spotify and now its the playlist for the car in the lead up and token kitchen disco. Can't wait to watch the vlogs in six months!
Just sounds so amazing Brogan xxx
My fiancée and I are also getting married just the two of us, next year, and so much of what you and Benji have said resonates with us. It's easy to feel selfish about making a decision for just the two of you when society expects something different, but it's beautifully reassuring to see such lovely people doing the same thing as we are. Congratulations both of you and here's to the marriage, not just the party ❤🎉
How exciting for you both, I absolutely love that you are doing your own thing and that you are very happy with how you both are, you do you. I married in Florida at Cypress Gardens (now Lego land) and had a reception/party when we got home. Loved it 😊 have the best time 🎉
All sounds so amazing! So excited for you and can’t wait to see it all!❤
I loved this video Brogan, so so lovely and I felt excited for you hearing how excited you are. I had a small wedding and it was wonderful, 10 years ago now and my very favourite part of the day was saying my vows and hearing my husband say them to me. I was unfortunately very unwell suddenly at the time of my wedding so all of the things people usually tend to worry about didn’t matter to me at all I just wanted to be well and able to marry my love :) ❤ I look forward to more wedding updates along the way! And do feel free to wear your vail 😊 xx
We eloped when we got married in 2019 and it was honestly the best thing we ever did. We also had a party a month later and just called it a wedding reception on the invites. Looking forward to all the rest of your wedding content xx
You should book a Scent your Wedding experience from Jo Malone while you’re in the London!!! It’s such a special way to chose your wedding scents xx
Just got engaged and this past weekend! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time ❤️ I’ll be enjoying your wedding content even more now!
I did the ears in Orlando. We got married on Paddlefish and I had custom wedding ears. Straight after the ceremony we got changed and went to MK ❤
I remember watching you when your first met Benji and now you’re both getting married 💍 👰🏻♀️ so exciting ✨✨
Your wedding plans sound perfect to me, what a wonderful way to go into married life. I'm sure you will look absolutely gorgeous no matter what you decide Brogan. You can get roses here in March. David Austin Roses are really full and look beautiful with Eucalyptus leaves. Freesia's should also be in bloom and come in beautiful warm colours, smell heavenly too. Not sure where you are planning on visiting in Sydney but a water taxi to Watsons Bay and lunch at Doyles on the Beach is a lovely, indulgent day out. There's sand there to take pics as well :) As far as makeup, I think you do it so well yourself, I'm a makeup artist and always tells brides to do their makeup as light as possible with a few embellishments; shimmery shadow on the lid below the crease, and demi-lashes in the outer corners is usually enough. A signature perfume is always nice too, it helps you remember the day whenever you wear it again. Sorry for long message, I'm just so friggin' excited for you both!
I just got married in January of this year! It is YOUR (and Benji’s) day so make it however YOU want it to be!! ABSOLUTELY wear the bridal ears in Disneyland!
This was a very exciting watch ❤❤
Hi Brogan, wow it all sounds amazing how exciting!…you have some great ideas.It’s definitely true what you said about feeling good about yourself and being the best version of yourself….but also like you quite rightly said not to quote a well loved Disney movie lol…..true beauty comes from within ❤ and obviously you will look stunning on your wedding day but also Benji loves you inside & out no matter what…but I think we’re all guilty of not loving ourselves at some point and we are our own worst critics so we must all tell ourselves we’re beautiful from time to time…I can’t wait to come along on your wedding journey ❤️👰🏼🤵🏼♂️xxxxx
Hi Brogan, my husband and I did something similar 27 years ago. We wanted simple and only could get a week off from work together. Off to Hawaii we went. Marriage and honeymoon all in one.
My parents sent out an official announcement that we had been married and then included an invitation to attend a celebration in honor of the newlyweds.
Best to the both of you 🎉
Love watching your vlogs and hearing the plans for your wedding. My husband and I got married 10 years ago and I can still remember the excitement leading up to it. Your day sounds like it's going to be absolutely perfect 💕
Thank you!! Happy 10-Year Wedding Anniversary!! xx
Got married last year and it was the best day ever! ❤
Came here to comment as I’m from NZ and wanted to say, make sure you get out of Auckland when you’re there exploring NZ. Most of our countries magic lies outside of Auckland 🥰 hiring a car and driving north is a great idea.
When you come back, definitely head to the South Island as there is SO much to see ❤
We had a big wedding with all of our family and friends. We were both so relaxed on the day, it made it so special. We loved it. My best friend did a destination wedding with just her husband, she loved it. Each to their own. The marriage matters, not how you do it❤
How exciting Brogan… Tomm jewellery have a lovely bridal collection… will you be having ‘just Married’ magnets on your crew ship door I noticed everyone has magnets they look lovely!!! X
We are getting married in April 2024 in Gretna Green with our close family then having a party at home a couple of weeks later to celebrate 💍 We really considered a big wedding but it was causing me so much stress and I feel so much happier with it this way. Really enjoyed this video and it’s so nice to see other couples having non traditional weddings too!
Hey Brogan, hope you are doing well. Love your vlogs, they are very inspirational including the Disney ones and exciting one for your wedding. My husband and I got married last year and we had a Disney inspired wedding in wales, got a lot of personalised things of Etsy, shopped at hobby craft for like a post box, we had a globe for our guests to write messages. We live not far from you guys in Dorset also. 💕 Charlotte Xx
You may not have an invitation for your wedding but you can use your vow book for a flat lay with your shoes and rings 😊
Love to hear your plans ❤
I am recently engaged so excited to go on the journey of wedding planning myself! X
Loved this catch up 🥰 am so so excited for you both and I just love your mindset 🥰 Brogan you are beautiful inside and out 😃 so happy for you both 🥂🍾❤️ xxxx
Nice silk pjs for wedding evening😊 and a really nice just married outfit….for following day….
Things I took with me that you might like table decorations / indoor sparklers “just married glasses”
We called ours “wedding party”
Re hair I was growing my hair but still would recommend getting a trim every 8-10 weeks it will grow stronger 😊
I just got back from Singapore. Went as part of my honeymoon. It is amazing! It is now my favourite city ever. You have to do Gardens by the Bay. And definitely do the Marina Bay Sands rooftop at sunset ❤
I’m sure I said something similar on your first wedding video, but this resonates with me so much. My husband and I flew to vegas, just the two of us and it was so special. You have to do what is best for you as a couple. It’s the marriage, not the wedding, that’s important ❤
Also, I did my own make up and I loved that element of it, I felt like me much more!
My wedding perfume was Myth by Ellis Brooklyn and i love wearing it on special occasions now or just smelling it on my shelf. Picking a special perfume is my #1 recommendation to my friends when they get engaged!
I am loving this! congratulations. It sounds perfect. Very intimate and I love that you are having a celebration at home in the UK. can't wait to see whatever you choose to share :)
Well the marriage ship has likely long sailed for me and I don't foresee any weddings in the future on my front lol.. but I am truly over the moon for you guys! Oh I love the veil! You are beaming throughout this and it makes the heart sing.
Sounds perfect Brogan 😍 you will both have the best day, and best 2 months away!!!
I got married just over a year ago in a small, intimate barn venue with our nearest and dearest friends and family. Similar numbers to your wedding party! Our bridesmaids wore sage green and I had hints of blush pink in my flowers, with white roses and eucalyptus. We had a really informal day with our ceremony at 4pm. Me and my bridesmaids stayed in a hotel the night before and spent the morning/ early afternoon getting ready together which was so lovely and chilled. We had canapés and Pimms after our ceremony and then a BBQ in the evening. We cut a cake and had it for pudding and had a first dance but didn’t have any speeches (my husband and dad thanked everyone for coming and raised a toast to me/ us). It was the perfect day for us 🥰 I absolutely loved the wedding planning and feel really lucky that we didn’t feel stressed at all - just really blessed and happy to be embarking on a new chapter in our lives! We then had our honeymoon on P&O Azura on a Mediterranean cruise and spent our first anniversary on P&O Iona on a Norwegian Fjords cruise!
Sorry for the long comment but I would have loved to read about more informal ‘low key’ weddings when I was planning mine, as I knew I didn’t want anything big, or an expense that we would be paying for in years to come!
Can’t wait to see more wedding content from you 🥰 xx
Aww that's lovely!! We have the same taste, that sounds so beautiful. If we weren't doing our plans, that is exactly the kind of day I'd love! Not too much, lots of fun, happy days! Pimms and BBQ too?! YES. Thanks so much!! xx
Congratulations to you both only 6 months to go. I love that you are both doing what you want and not what others expect. It is all about the marriage. I have just celebrated 17 years of marriage. Definitely wear the disney weddings ears and you could always bring a few small nautical decorations for your table when you have your wedding meal. Im so excited for you both. Another brilliant video xxx
Thank you so much! xx
Lovely video ☺️👰🏻♀️ my friends got married in the Caribbean this year and then had a party in the UK earlier this summer. They had a sign saying “We’re married. Let’s celebrate!” Followed by the bride and groom’s names plus the date which looked lovely.
I'm getting married this October and I really needed your little pick me up at the end of the video ❤ you also convince me to try Dermatica...loving it so far x
My Husband and I renewed on wedding vows on p&o Azura to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Our wedding planner was fantastic and organised everything for us onboard. We had such a lovely day. Looking forward to all your wedding prep videos. Xx
You are absolutely right when you say you are beautiful as you are ❤ So excited to see what you'll be wearing xx
You are so kind, thank you! xx
When I got married we had our reception in the local coop hall my family had decorated it in my wedding colours of black white and silver omg it looked beautiful. You don’t have to go mad in spending for the one day but that doesn’t mean a wedding can’t be gorgeous on a budget.
I just can’t wait for your wedding! I feel like I’m a guest and counting down the days with you!🤣
You already know I’ve been here since the start but seeing you plan a wedding makes me so emotional & excited!🥹🥰
Soooo excited for you both!!! ❤The bridesmaid dresses and the invitations are very much like the one my son and daughter in law had on their wedding day!! 😁....And that was Perfect!🥰
Love hearing all the wedding plans😍 I am a July 2024 bride and am so excited for it all! It is all overwhelming but I’m trying to enjoy the experience as much as I can hahah
My oldest daughter's wedding is four weeks from TODAY!!! 😯🤗😯 She and her groom live about a thousand miles away, but are coming here to Savannah, Georgia to get married. The groom's mother and I both live here, so we're taking care of many of the details. 😊 We assembled many of the bouquets and boutonnieres this last week: SO fun!!! I'm also making the cake and cupcakes, plus two different kinds of.mints. BUSY month ahead!!! YES!!! You should ABSOLUTELY wear you Minnie bridal ears!!! 👰👰👰 It sounds like you're getting things done and are well organized!!! Thanks for the chat!!! Continued love and health from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜
Love this video am soo happy for you and Benj you have some lovely ideas cannot wait for the big day all the best too you both xxx
Your day sounds perfect. We have been married 24 years in October. Our New York wedding was perfect for us. City Hall then horse and carriage ride in Central Park and dinner at the Waldorf Astoria ❤
Six months until my big day 😍 I definitely need to start saving more photos of ideas! Thank you for sharing ☺️ My parents attended a wedding party after the couple of married weeks before. They called it the happily ever after party 🥰 xxxx
Your wedding can't be anymore you!! It sounds perfect. Xx
This could have been an hour long-I just love it! I am newly engaged and we have to wait for a visa (I’m from the US and he’s from Sweden and we want to live here) so it’s nice to hear you so excited! It helps me get excited too!!
Hi brogan, wow only 6 months to go ,i love hearing some of your details they sound beautiful 😊, i celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary in march and had a big bday the same day so double celebrations for me 😂 cannot wait for more details if you have any and to see the dress , you and benji make such a beautiful couple and clearly you love for one another shines through 😊 much love x
Just an idea for a bouquet, you can get really beautiful artificial flowers. I had them for my wedding and it means you can keep it forever too 💕
It all sounds very exciting Brogan . Even getting married on a cruise ship makes it even more different and special .
I bet when you both went out to find your wedding dress you had a lot of happy tears as well. Are you having someone there to Vlog or Record your wedding day ? Congrats to you both and may you both have some more lovely years and time together after it . Xx🥳🥰🎉🎂
Thank you!! We haven't quite established on the filming side of things, hopefully someone will capture some things but if not, it's okay! xx
We moved to Brisbane last year from Essex. Defo lots to do in city. Trip along the river and great restaurants x
Can’t believe you’re turning 30! You were 17 when I first subscribed to you. Hope the wedding goes well❤️❤️❤️
I’m so happy for you both! Do you plan to wear your dress again when you have your after party? We just celebrated our 28th anniversary this year and if I had to do it again, We’d do the same and elope. It sounds so romantic and just perfect for the two of you. Enjoy this time! 💕
You are definitely stunning as you are Brogan ❤ loved planning our day 11years ago on the 31st august , I’d called your wedding party a wedding reception 😊 xx
I love the frame with the welcome. I think what you said was beauitful welcome to our wedding celebration 🎉 sounds perfect x
