That dress is absolutely stunning! And how special to have a wedding dress like no one else. Congratulations!!
Wow!! Brava! Excellent! Beautiful!,
elopement dress **
Yes the dress is amazing
The fact that you had your wedding photo shoot by the glittering water -- and yet YOU were the most luminous, sparkly thing there -- is testament of your skill, talent, and vision. Congratulations! 😊♥️
@C_ Lyr_ Yet even better!!! :)
Yes, she is so creative! I wouldn't have thought of that fabric, but it was a great choice!
Soooo happy for you and Erik, April you're such a beauty and you made a total stunner of a dress. WE LOVE YOU!!!
Wendy! 😬😆
Wow you're here too! I've seen your video about making your wedding dress! You were my faves when I started sewing!!! Im a big fan!!! 😍😍😍😍
HOW TO MAKE THE SKIRT?
When you guys were on the beach, the way your dress sparkled reminded me of Ariel right at the end only in gold 🤩🤩🤩
BEAUTIFUL🥺🥺🥺 love you guys and love how you still made this so special! Wishing you guys a lifetime of happiness, so happy for you both. What a dream wedding at the beach🤩🤩🤩
U r biggest n inspiring n my parents tooo👍
2 of my fav youtubers watching each other? 😭😭
I love watching her sewing channel. She’s so much fun!
@@trisha9494 They’re friends.🥺 April was at their wedding.
So beautiful the whole video. Love your dress👗. You make sewing look so easy.
The dress reminds me of Ariel's dress at the end of The Little Mermaid animation, where she got reunited with Eric, just because of the beach setting. Anyway, congrats!!
Was looking for this comment.. knew I couldn’t be the only one that saw it. Stunning
Omg I thought the same exact thing!
Such a coincidence cuz they're April and Eric.
whoa I just commented the same thing.. lol :P
I was just about to comment this!
honestly, eloping during the pandemic is so romantic and such a baller move. It's the kind of thing your grandkids would be interested in hearing about.
I can't sew, I can repair holes in things, badly. Her dress is so beautiful, how wonderful to have that skill to make such beautiful clothes. Congratulations on your wedding!
Probably one of the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen
Let's all take a moment to appreciate how skilled she is at sewing and how absolutely STUNNING she looks in that dress! 💕
Totally stole my answer. Congratulations and big love to April and Erik!!!
IKR 😍
She has talent
I’m ugly crying, I’ve been subscribed to April since I graduated HS in 2012, and seeing you marry Eric and seeing you hone your craft got me in the feels 🥺
Congrats!!! But also her sewing is legitimately like magic. I can't believe she makes these things let alone make it look good, too.
The dress looks absolutely stunning! I love the idea of changing the colour of the slip underneath to have different looks. Congrats on your elopement :)
Beautiful dress! Beautiful beach! Beautiful day! Beautiful couple! I wish you both all the joy, happiness and love during your lifelong marriage! Congratulations! 🍰🎊🎇🎉🎆🌺🌻🌹🌷🌸💐💍💞💖❤👰💏
I've been watching your channel since I was 13, you taught me how to sew. To have grown up watching you flourish and grow has been such an honor.
And I almost started crying thinking back to the first video I saw Erik in.
You have been such an inspiration and at 20, I still feel like I can learn so much from you.
Thank you for including all of us in one of the most important days of your life ❤️
We will forever be grateful for the years you've shared with us.
You look like Ariel when she came out of the sea in that sparkling dress💜 stunning
*This is precious, you made me get choked up because you are such a darling couple.*
*My first marriage I bought a $15 dress and I of course am fat, so a dear friend's mom added lace and it worked perfectly; but after 17 yrs he cheated so...*
*My second marriage I thrifted a lace shirt and I used an old slip and then sewed strong but antique lace, even received some lace from a co-workers Grandma's stash onto the slip.**There is nothing more personal than having a simple handmade wedding and dress.**My eldest son officiated and my second eldest son was my "Mister of Honor," and my two younger sons stood up to give me away.**My sons wore all black and my husband wore a simple black suit with a black shirt with a reddish tie and a black Peaky Blinder hat.**We had it at a bowling alley/family fun center, in a private party room I decorated with hearts and space aliens.**We had the best time with 25 guests, the room was free if you ordered over $250 in food, then my twin paid for the food and my new Father-in-law the booze.* *We bowled and played the carnival games there, it was a blast.*
Wow
Awww that's sooo cute and creative! Generally speaking, we don't really need to put thousands of money in just the gown alone. Tho I still respect people's ways on spending money on the wedding because that's none of my business. I just feel like all your focus should be on your bride or groom, and family. Nowadays alot of people lost the meaning of marrying the love of your.
Hi, I’m single and not getting married anytime soon but, can you plan my wedding day one day?
Your second wedding sounds like my dream wedding, having fun with the people you love on your day sounds amazing.
LM
Wirh all respect, we don't know you, and subsequently have absolutely no interest in hearing your life story.
You should be so proud of yourself. Your dress and you, are stunning.
I know this isn't how you originally planned to get married but it looks like you had a wonderful day with the only person that matters, and I'm so happy for the two of you!! You were the most beautiful couple and your dress was the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever seen (and I watched A Lot of say yes to the dress)
Actually, Eric would be the second person that mattered.
@@elainetwum3465 why?
@@yy-qj8ym God should always be first.
@@elainetwum3465 ugh
@@elainetwum3465 not everyone believes in god or follows religion. Respect that
The dress was stunning, and you seemed to handle those sequins with no broken needles. I sewed my wedding dress too. It will be such a special memory for you. Congratulations.
Also, i can already imagine your daughter or niece wearing this gown for their wedding and how effin special is it to wear a dress your mother or aunt HANDMADE?!?! First vid of yours ive ever seen and my gah your so talented! I wish i was capable of making something that beautiful lol
How elegant -- I've never seen anything like it. Love the fabric choice and the choice to go short underneath.
Congratulations on the elopement. 🥰
How lucky are you, when people say I love your dress you can say - thank you, I made it 😉
Have you ever thought of making a dress brand? I would buy your dress!
The dress is stunning and you make it look so simple T.T Those photos of wedding with matching face masks will be historical documents in the future
@Elisa Castro I was thinking the same thing! She made face masks out of the most useless fabric. I don’t know how much masks actually help to begin with, but if you’re going to wear one, make it out of something useful.
I remember the days when Erik was helping you out film when you were doing you awesome projects and everything. Now you guys are married 😍. I'm so happy for you guys 💕 best wishes to you both.
Awesome! Elopement isnt a punishment, it shows the real,it shows you want the marriage more than the wedding. Wedding lasts a day, marriage is what you live with the rest of our lives. Congratulations to you and your husband. Blessings and peace through the good times and the trials. God bless
Great wedding, love the dress, thought the fabric was too sparkly but the full dress came out beautiful and delicate and not flashy at all. Congratulations, best regards
I'm usually not a fan of sparkles because it usually looks cheap, but your dress is so elegant and light. Simply beautiful 😍 congratulations and wishing nothing but the best!
I was getting serious Ariel walking out of the ocean vibes with how sparkly that dress is even though it’s a different color. It’s beautiful 😍
That is the cutest wedding dress I’ve seen so far. That actually looks good on a real person and not just the models.
The wedding is never the big deal..the marriage is. Congrats to you!
The dress is simply magical
I have real respect for you. It is very important for influencers and youtube personalities to be staying in line with COVID restrictions because they are so prominent and watched by others and your lovely elopement dress and matching mask humor shot make the best of a situation spectacularly and actually work as positive COVID messaging. I feel really good about my cravings for this channel when I see you folks showing all the decency and creativity you always have in these crazy times. Make lots of awesome things. You'll definitely get more eyeballs with folks like me at home sewing to de-stress.
You’re kidding right? Those masks were made out of absolutely useless fabric. Studies show that wearing masks made with fabric with that loose of a weave is actually WORSE than if you didn’t wear a mask at all.
The droplets that come from your breath go through that tiny weave and get broken up and spread more than if you didn’t wear a mask.
Best wishes to you guys, I feel like watching my lil sister eloped. I had been watching your videos since you first started.
Reminds me of that dress Ariel gets when her father helps reunite her with eric!!! Love it!!! Best wishes!!! Congrats!!
oh my god! it's such a beautiful dress! congratulations April and Erik, wish you two a happy, healthy and blessed married life! ✨💕
Congrats! Beautiful dress for a beautiful moment. Been watching you for years since the thrifted transformation days and now seeing you create such a stunning dress is so sweet as you embark in this next chapter. Wishing you and Erik much happiness and a lifetime of love.
You and your husband look stunning on the beach! Wishing you peace and happiness.
Simply Beautiful, may your marriage last until death do you part. ❤️
Proposal, wedding, and elopement videos always make me so emotional, it's so crazy
Your dress was beautiful, the color complimented your skin tone very well and you looked stunning! Congratulations April❤❤
CONGRATULATIONS to you and Erik--blessings for you both! Lovely dress!
I'm so happy for you! I've watched you since the very beginning 10 years ago and Eric has always been by your side. I feel like i grew up with you 🥺 You inspired me to sew and explore my creative side. Im happy to see you so happy ❤
Started watching you from years ago as you took me on a journey down memory lane to cut down and reinvent thrifted clothes. And now I am transfixed as you design and complete your elopement dress. So impressed April, you are such a treasure to carry forward your growth in design with your man by your side. Much support from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Love the addition of the belt really tops off the incredible dress just right.
I’ve been watching you since the beginning, honestly brought a tear to my eye when I saw this video - such a beautiful couple! Thank you so much for your videos and your contribution to the sewing community
Congratulations April and Erik! You both looked so happy and gorgeous, i wish you only the best for your future, filled with many happy moments and laughter! ^^
Congratulations and much love and success for your future :) :) :) Thank you for letting us all be a part of this. Historical during COVID -- love continues no matter what.
That is one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen! You looked absolutely beautiful ❤️ Prayers for a long happy and healthy life ahead for the two of you 🤗
Congratulations! You two look so happy together and your dress is absolutely fantastic. Great skills Mrs. April.
You made this task look so easy, when we ail know that it takes a very skilled seamstress to make this dress. Congratulations and well done!
The sparkles n glitters looked GORGEOUS !!🌟🌟 Especially at the beach photoshoot im sure the picture came out spectacular! The way the light reflected on the glitter. Absolutely stunning🥺🌟 congratulations to u both!!
You looked GORGEOUS, and you made the beach even prettier with all your sparkles. Such perfect choices for you.
Thank you for sharing your special day with us! You are so talented and your dress is amazing!
The dress, the beach with the bride and groom made a beautiful wedding.
coolirpa = 1 ...covid = 0...win for coolirpa (along with love and congratulations!)
Anyone who's watching from her first sweater video?🌼
PS I have started a sewing channel too and April is my soul inspiration in this! 💕
Wow! The sweater video was one of the earliest "viral videos" i can remember. Probably predates the term viral being used in that way.
I wasn't subscribed until she began the thrifted transformations and i was so shocked to se the sweater video and mens collared shirt video in her archive. It was like learning the hamster dance page was now a midi music tutorial blog. Anyways, congrats on your marriage and your long youtube career!
Your channel is very pretty.
@@hopegold883 thankyou ♥️
Got a little teary-eyed. So happy for you two.
Congratulations!! I am so happy for you both!!!!
Such a beautiful dress😭❤️❤️❤️
omg congratulations!! such a special moment and to have designed your own dress makes it even more special!!!
Wow absolutely STUNNING!!
So FUN! to watch you design and sew this! Beautifully done. Wishing you MUCH MUCH JOY and a wonderful marriage. Congrats!!
That dress reminds me of the one Ariel is wearing at the end of the movie.
And coincidently her hubby's name is Erik too- just like Ariel's 💕
Violet xoxo and April is another A name, same number of letters, just swap out the P for an E and move it down. Lol
You look amazing! The way that dress catches the light 🔥 you look like a sunset ❤️
Great job on this gown!!! Absolutely beautiful! May God bless your hearts together and keep y’all in love 🥰
Congratulations to you and Erik. Beautiful dress.
Congratulations to you both! The dress looks amazing, you did an incredible job on it! May you and your husband be blessed for many happy years to come!
Way to go on eloping. You spare yourselves so much stress and expense when you elope. That money can really help in your new life together.
Congratulating on your elopement and beautiful dress! Absolutely stunning video of your special day. Thank you for sharing the dress making process with us.
Congratulations on your elopement - such a lovely dress & you looked like you had such a special time with your husband, & your few special attendees. All the best for your future together!
Congratulations to you both. Long and happy marriage. You both looked stunning!
Stunning. Just stunning. Honestly, an elopement sounds so perfect. Congratulations to both you an Erik
elope means to run away to get married secret tho why should it sound perfect
@@lilyyao7778 cause it's not exactly a right time to have a grand wedding and if u want to really get married even if u don't have to atleast invite some people which isn't favourable this time .
It was perfect for them , so perfect
Congratulations! What a beautiful dress! Your elopement could not have been more perfect!
You look absolutely stunning! So happy for you two!

Oh my gosh April I was so surprised to see this video, in a good way. I love hearing and seeing the good things happening this year. Your dress is beautiful. It literally glittered like the water! You two are a darling couple, I'm so happy for you! Congratulations to you both!
What an elegant dress! The v-shape under the arms was the perfect little touch to go with the front and back! What a sweet and beautiful couple...I got all misty-eyed watching you both. Congratulations and may your life together be richly blessed! ❤
BAWLED MY EYES over the joy and beauty. Having watched April since those first thrift videos when she was a teen, I just feel such genuine love and happiness for her at this time. And WOW, what an exquisite dress.❤️
