    YAAAY! Welcome to my wedding week series! For the rest of this week, I'll be uploading a wedding related video and on Friday....you will finally get to see our official wedding video!!! I'M SO EXCITED!
    honestly, our wedding day was the happiest day of my life and I'm so glad I get to relive that day a little bit this week as I share this content with you all!
    Today's video is all about how we saved thousands of dollars on our wedding decor by thrifting and DIYing certain things. I really do hope it helps you with some ideas if you're planning your own wedding!

    thank you so much for this. Such a blessing! Prior watching your video, i was praying - because i got really anxious and overwhelmed about financial side of things of our wedding. After shower i felt God's peace telling me not to worry about the wedding because why worry, right? Anyway, so i thought i'd watch some wedding planning video and i landed here! Your video caught my attention even more because of the bible verse at the beginning! Love it!! Truly, God does answer prayers. You and your video is my answered prayer tonight!
    Also, love all the hacks. I love opshop and i do have a cricut too!!
    Blessings!
