- This time of year always makes me think about when Chris and I were married. And this year we helped out with one of my friends' weddings here at the Mount Bruderhof.

What is the Bruderhof?
The Bruderhof is an intentional Christian community of people living in radical discipleship in the spirit of the first church in Jerusalem. We gladly renounce private property and share everything in common. Our vocation is a life of service to God, each other, and you.

I totally agree with your Laura. We had a very frugal wedding. My husband was a pastor, and we married in his church, one of the congregation did the catering, and there were three different fellowships involved in watching us exchange our vows in an intimate and beautiful ceremony. Best wishes from Susan in UK.
This really makes sense to me. Some couples spend an enormous about of money on weddings but more important they spend so much time planning it.
That is a very loving thing for all of their community to do for new couple. That blue looks great on you.
I am not religious but I find your outlook on life very useful to me, I learn lots from you.
Me as well and I'm a Marxist.
We live very different lives but I agree so much with all of your values about marriage. People spend so much time and energy planning for a wedding day that they forget they should be planning for a long and happy life together.
Happily there is an emerging trend towards the simple, outdoor, "small" wedding, where expenses are kept in check and the emphasis is on joy and "community". My daughter married outside a barn. Fun activities included Hammerschlag, folk dancing, and nature walks. I don't recall seeing ties and jackets.
you are right. the years of the marriage together is far more important than a big party
As long as the couple is happy, it's a job well done ❤️ it's so lovely that the community supports the new couple by setting their wedding up for them. What a beautiful gesture of love. Love from Texas!
As always thank you for sharing! I like the way you say about starting a life long journey. I think it is that, a life long loving journey, with all that comes on your path, exciting and sometimes challenging things to overcome together.
I liked your wedding inside that beautiful church.
You are spot on! The wedding industry is a big money making machine! My husband took marketing when he was a young college student. One of the very first thing they are taught is who is the easiest to sell product and ideas to...women women women. Our desire to be accepted is prayed upon by all marketing. We are constantly told by media that we are need something new to make us better, pretty, thinner, more attractive in some way. The wedding industry plays on ever aspect of this and they start little girls with the princess dreams. It's sad and I think your community has the right idea, from what I can tell. Praise be to God and may you all continue to be blessed.
I always wish everyone at the Bruderhof Community well and I was lucky enough to deal with the Nonington Community for a couple of years. Very kind and genuine people. I hope to visit them again one day.
I love watching your videos. After a day of incredibly stressful work, I like to decompress by watching you.
Wow, thank you!
My wedding took place in a small traditional Catholic church which my former pastor and friend officiated at. I wore a white wedding dress and my husband wore a suit and tie. It was a very simple affair with few decorations and friends and family members who helped with the reception. We just had a homemade cake and cold sandwiches. I wouldn't really change anything about it.
Community loving. What a beautiful thing to be said about a wedding. Being able to show the couple getting married how much they are loved 🙏 lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇨🐨💗 God Bless
Well said!
My first and only wedding was very simple: a plain brown dress, no diamond engagement ring, a plain gold wedding band, a simple ceremony and then back to the house for sandwiches, desserts, coffee and tea. It was all about our union and not the show. I'm fine with others who dream about and have big weddings and I've been to many with lots of joy, fancy food and fun. It just wasn't for us, so I totally relate to your wedding Laura.
I totally agree with you Laura, i am from a Christian family too but i am not happy and peaceful like you
I have a question do the bruderhof women marry man that are outside their community or do they have to marry people in their bruderhof community 🤔🤨
When you get married in a Bruderhof, do the parties enter holy matrimony voluntarily together? Or has the community arranged the marriage?
@@LaurafromtheBruderhof - Thank you. I respect your ways very much. Being a part of mainstream America, I can fully say that this strange and peculiar way is probably the way of genuine Christians!
I recently started watching your videos. I am confused as to how long Chris and you have been married. Then you had a baby but you already had Branson. I seem to be watching in a mixed up order. Can you give me a timr line?
We got married in 2016. Had Branson in 2017. Had Xander in 2020.
Do newlyweds go on any type of honeymoon?
Yes, they go off for about a week.
@@LaurafromtheBruderhof - where do they go? Can they choose to travel anywhere?
do you all believe in drinking alcohol?
We do some
