- LOVE YOU SO MUCH! As a conclusion to the wedding content, I figured I would give you the recap video that was requested :-) Here are my thoughts on what was worth the splurge, what surprised me, what caused or reduced stress, hosting the wedding in my home, having an atypical food plan, and more!

Girl - stop being so self conscious about over sharing wedding content. That’s the season of life you’re in and it is an extremely exciting and huge life experience. Your followers love feeling part of your life, and you’re a newlywed! Embrace it!!
It is literally the sweetest thing that all your neighbors came to your wedding party! Having great relationships with your neighbors is so underrated these days so I love that you were able to build that bond/community
It's insane how expensive weddings are now because pre-covid the general consensus was that they were too expensive. Glad yours went so smoothly. I'm obsessed with your after party dress!
Right it is crazy how the wedding industry has exploded!! That is so sweet thank you friend🫶🏼🥹🤍
Michel - we literally love you lol you underestimate how much we love listening to you chit chat…don’t stress so much about the videos being too long, girly ❤️
Hey! Loved your video ❤ would you do another wedding themed video about your wedding dresses/ overall bridal looks? Would love to know the details and for example see the footage of you trying your wedding dress for the first time 🥰😇 sending love from Poland
Oooo 👀👀 that sounds like a fun idea🫶🏼
Hi Nina, greetings from a Polish- Canadian girl!
Ooo, yes!!
Michel you were such a beautiful bride inside and out! You and Jordy look so happy together it’s been fun, thanks for take us along. 🫶
Michel is so right in her advice to not pay in full in advance!
Unfortunately, I called off my wedding about a month before it would’ve happened, and I lost money by also trying to pay for lots of things up front. Had I waited until the payments were due (two weeks prior to the date), I wouldn’t have lost the money. It burned bridges between friendors (vendors who are friends) as well!
When I get married one day, I’ll definitely wait until the due dates to make payments.
Loved hearing your thoughts in this video, Michel!
Max having his own person taking care of him is so dang cute! 🥹🥹
Just a note - on Spotify you actually ~can fade one song into the next by using “crossfade” in the playback settings! If in the future u did ever want that, but full songs are great IMO :)
So it cost closer to 70k in the end? Would be curious for an updated budget
Oh lady …. You’re glowing ❤ I wish for you and Jordy a life filled with joy, love, safety, and a house full of family and friends!
I do not see glowing…she actually looks very different lately.
@@SanduskoI see joyful and she does have a happy content aura about her.
if one of my neighbors had their wedding after party at their house and INVITED US i would talk about it for years. you guys are going to be legendary on your block!
I love hearing wedding talk and I've been married 17 years. Love the cute touches you put on your wedding. ☺️♥️
this was the best wedding comparison/recap i’ve seen! crazy that the prices doubled! i got married during CVD and we never had a formal wedding so i loved seeing your process and creativity through this 💗
🥰🥹🫶🏼🤍
I loved it and really loved seeing more pictures and videos of your special day!! You two are such a sweet couple!! ❤️❤️
This was really sweet to watch thank you michel 🤍🤍🤍
I have LOVED the wedding content !! Seeing you so happy has been great! You are such a fun, sweet person!❤
Hehehe thank you friend🤍🤍
Me too, I somehow thought the after-wedding content was just beginning 😂
Love this! What a dreamy, perfect wedding experience! 🤍
Thanks for doing your speeches at the rehersal. The last wedding I went to, the father of the bride talked for 45 minutes, and he was one of like 6, and it was before any food came out. And obviously it's their day, and I was there as my friend's plus one so I shouldn't complain, but no food until 10pm made me very hangry haha.
We had speeches at the reception, but they were short and sweet and people had their lobster and drinks already in front of them!
Who else agrees that Michel is one of the sweetest persons ever🥹🥹💗💗
Me!! I love it every time “hi friends” 💕
Michel is like family! ❤️
Me ❤
She’s truly the best!
meeee!
Happy Birthday Michel !!!! Congrats on your Awesome Wedding !!! Love seeing you so happy !!!
So happy for you and Jordy, your wedding was perfect! Happy birthday, have fun celebrating you!! 🎂🎉❤️
Congratulations to you both! I loved watching the wedding vlogs, the diy touches worked well, such a vibe ❤🥂
Marriage is a beautiful union of two souls, a lifelong commitment to love, support, and cherish one another. A wedding is a celebration of this union, a joyous occasion filled with love, laughter, and promises of forever. It marks the beginning of a new chapter, creating lasting memories to treasure always.
your photos came out soo beautiful!! and the wedding seemed so fun !
Happy Birthday!!! You look more beautiful than ever.
Happy Birthday Michel!! 🎊 🎉
Thanks for the update I was so looking forward to this! Seems like you guys had a wonderful wedding and you gave such great tips. Thanks again for the video and sharing your wonderful day with us.
Loved this video and your views on how successful and fun your wedding was ❤ I am so glad and happy for you and Jordy that your wedding went so well after all of your planning 👏🏻 Most of all that you had a great time and were not overwhelmed with everything🤩 From what U have seen it was a perfect wedding for you two and all of your guests ‼️
I have got to know every single piece of makeup that you used on the video. I LOVE IT! 😍
Sooo sweet! Loved all this extra footage. Thank you! What a beautiful wedding! 🥰
I was totally telling you to “put in a paper plane!” when you were making your little wedding momentos box ❤ ✈️
As a auto immune girlie I can’t begin to describe how much I love you and your channel I am so blessed and grateful that God put everything in place for you to be able to do what you do and inspire many and help so many more
Love this, thanks so much for sharing ❤
You are the most photogenic person I know!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Your relationship gives me so much hope for my daughter!! I've mentioned before that you and my younger daughter are practically twins...same age, look similar, same health issues, so outgoing and sweet....and she is now aboit to finalize her divorce from a man that went from seeming kind to showing his true narcissistic, abusive behavior. She needs to get out and I'm appreciative but I also know how broken hearted she is wondering if she will ever find someone kind that will truly love her and now her baby girls. I hope she will find someone that treasures her like Jordy treasures you!! I've watched you through that turmoil and it has helped me to help her. Seeing you come through all of that stronger and more confident gives me such high hopes for my daughter!!! I'm grateful for you sharing your journey, I'm sure you are helping so many young women to take control of their lives and put their physical and mental health a priority and let a relationship be just the blessing that it is, not the be all end all of life. Congratulations to you both and many continued blessings!!
Please remind your daughter that she does not NEED a man! It’s okay to be by yourself! My daughter is 23 and single and makes more money than I do, is working on getting her CPA, and is perfectly happy doing her own thing!
it was so special to hear more about your big day❤❤
I loved it! And I was getting ready w you! So it worked.
What a beautiful wedding, God bless you and Jordy🥰
Thank you for all that you do! You’re a true inspiration to me
🥹🥹this is so kind, wow thank you friend!!🤍🤍
I loved this video. So fun and creative.
Thanks Michel for the Q+A! Interesting and Fun ❤
Glad that everything went so well!! So nice that your Family/In laws cleaned your home for you when you were on your honeymoon! God bless ❤❤
I know it was truly so so amazing and kind!!🤍🫶🏼🥰
I love your wedding planning videos, your wedding day morning and your wedding video was wonderful to see! I love that your wedding was at your house, your new house. so this was extra special ❤ you're beautiful lady and I loved your wedding dress! ❤ all the best wishes in your marriage with Jody ❤
I enjoyed the seeing pictures! It made the wedding more imaginable. Thank you for sharing.
Yayyy I am so glad Amy!!🤍🤍
We're actually celebrating 30 years married in September, so I really love watching wedding content just to see what people do now. I love the idea of having your reception at your new home. That's a great idea and also inviting your neighbors. Loved watching this video.
Your desses are perfect ❤. Your wedding was one of the best I've ever seen.
I love how you made sure max was so well cared for! 😊
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! Love your videos!🩷🎉
Awee thank you Camryn 🫶🏼🤍
You guys are so brilliant for having it at your house❤❤ love this videoooo xo
Awee thank you🤍🤍
Love this thanks for sharing!!!
Brilliant video…so informative 🥰
Congratulations Jordy and Michel!!! 💗
Thank you Sarah🤍🤍
Loved this video, also it would be so much fun to see Jordy do your makeup 😀
Thanks! Good summary!
I loved this, I've never been married though I'm still hoping and my wants for a wedding day have drastically changed since I was in my 20's Your wedding is much more my now vibe and though I don't have the space to host at home a lot of what you did is something similar to my ideal so hearing what worked and what didn't etc was very enlightening :) xx
Found this really interesting. Helps alot of brides out ❤
Loved this video! Getting married in May and your recap and thoughts sparked some ideas for me. Thank you 💕 btw you looked absolutely stunning on your wedding day! I am so thankful God gave you and Jordy to each other
🥹🥹well isn’t this just the sweetest!! Thank you sweet friend🤍🤍
I am enjoying the wedding content❤
You explain things so easily and with such confidence, folks just can’t help but understand it. 🤓 Thanks for the recap, and for sharing details of your wedding. Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog, (as usual) and now I know why you’ve had some flareups with your health. The wedding took a LOT of hard work and planning. A house full of company, much excitement, less rest. It takes some time to recover from all that!
This was great! I was really disappointed before that there wasn’t a lot of details about the way the Wedding turned out after hearing all of the plans. I thought oh well, it’s just being kept private. That’s their prerogative. Now I feel like we had a really good overview. The next best thing to being there! 😊
Happy Birthday have a wonderful and blessed day ❤️ 🎉
Awee thank you Dawn!!🤍
We want all the wedding content !
Thank you for posting! We’re planning our wedding but trying to cut costs, and it was helpful to know prices have pretty much doubled since pre-COVID and that I need to step up my DIY game lol 😊
We had my God daughter’s wedding reception at our home. We had a large tent put up, we had it catered, and we had a band. We had a family work day the day before and the bride and groom and their bridal party spent the night. It was a lot of work, but it was so fun, and a lot more personal. Memories that last a lifetime were made.
That sounds so fun and sweet!!🤍 I love that🥰
We are not burnt out on your gorgeous wedding 💒 content ... 💕
P.S. Beautiful Michel ~ Your photographs both color & black/white were absolutely stunning ... 💕
Michel happy birthday 🎈🎈 Thank you for the video.
Awe thank you Marcy!!🤍🤍
Thank you for doing this video. It seems like you had the perfect wedding!! I got married in 1998, and, although it was a beautiful, traditional wedding, I would have chosen your style wedding in a heartbeat. I absolutely agree with the way you did the speeches. I recently went to a cousin’s wedding, where we had to sit through a number of lengthy speeches. As a guest, it was not pleasant. Btw, you truly made a gorgeous bride!
Congratulations!
That was very interesting! Thanks for sharing. And I wished you a HBD on your weekend video thinking THAT was your bday! So since it’s coming up tomorrow, March 26, I wish you a most happy birthday celebration! How nice you’re in Charleston for a treat! I love Charleston so much I’ll be moving there! Within a year. OR maybe Greenville SC which is awesome in a less touristy way!
Awee how fun and thank you Carol!!🫶🏼
Life has changed in all costs 🙏 that life gets better for my grand kids
Great convo about your thoughts on the wedding. Glad you did the speeches at the rehearsal dinner - more intimate. I love that you worried about people's drama at the wedding, but you're right - you can't control it or worry about it. Cost - I remember the hilarity of the short you recorded when you found out about the $55,000 minimum....🤯. Max - good job hiring the Max-sitter...very thoughtful and SMART.
Thank you so much sweet friend!! 🤍🤍🤍
Congratulations and I think you are blessed in so many ways and deserve all the love and happiness. ❤ cheers 🥂🍾
Aweee thank you Bree🫶🏼🤍
CONGRATULATIONS ON nice WEDDING!!
Thank you friend 🫶🏼
@@MichelJanse your welcome
I’m also planning on doing a lot of DIY, especially the Music, so I’m glad it worked out for you!! I’m still nervous about it haha
You got this friend!! I’m rooting for you🤍🤍
I got married during COVID. 14 people in my in-laws backyard. I wouldn’t change it. I’m happy for you finding love again and having the wedding you wanted. Congrats!
You did a great job!
Thank you Betsy!!🤍🤍
I want that Max Wrangler job!! Such a good doggie parent.
Hahahahs 🫶🏼🤍🤣

As a 29 year old who has sadly never been to a wedding before, I really enjoyed your wedding vlogs! Thank you so much for sharing all of these beautiful memories with us! I felt like I got the experience through your videos ☺☺☺
I am getting married soon and am doing my own dj-ing as well! I would love the playlist linked :)
I loved having a first look and all photos before the wedding. WE spent the night apart with our parties and then we did our own little bride & groom photos then all the wedding party photos before the ceremony and I would have it any other way only because having all the wedding party photos plus family photos after the ceremony would have taken so long. So all we had to do while we had cocktail hour was family photos and it took only like 30 mins. and I was very adamant about taking a few moments to ourselves after the family photos in our room for 10-15 min. before our "grand entrance" to just take everything in before dinner and to this day its one of both of our favourite moments of the whole day. we just stood/ sat on the balcony and chatted and gushed about the ceremony and connected without an audience. a perfect moment, and we did this because so many people said that the day passes so fast and you dont get a moment to just take it in so we really wanted that moment, we loved it. we also didn't have a dance we had everyone change out of there fancy clothes and get into comfies and we had a big bonfire with apple cider and hot chocolate and a smore's bar and a radio we could hook up to our phones and played music. it was so intimate not everyone stayed and that was totally okay as we had our wedding during moose season and it was great we had wonderful photos and some of the best were from that time.
Seeing you walk down the aisle made me tear up!!! I’m so happy for you!!! ❤❤❤
Aweeee🥹🫶🏼🤍
I got married during Covid and did it at my house. I loved it so much
You’re one of my favorite youtubers ❤ Thank you for everything you do 🤍
Thank you sweet Maria🤍🫶🏼
Feels like we are friends by now 💛
Aweee 🥹I love this friend🤍🤍
Ouch about the neighbors being young and fun comment - some of us are old and fun. 😀
Could you share your playlist. Your after party looked amazing fun. 🎉
I love that I’m getting married in two weeks at our house and I get to mega benefit from this 😅💕
Do you think difference in price could have been also due to California wedding vs. Texas?
I think having the wedding partially at your house was a great idea. Yes you run the risk of something getting broken or stained but it all goes well than in the end it will save money
Yes so true and it did, so it was super fun!!🤍
Please look into geo fencing for max!!! have four dogs works great they dont leave the yard
Yes the prices for weddings have gone way up our youngest son getting married in the Autumn ( Europe )
They are noticing the prices but its their special day 🤍🤍.
Hope you had a wonderful Birthday 🎉 🥂🍾🎂💐.
Oo yeah I’d be interested in what it is in comparison to the US. Also congratulations 🤍🤍 it is such a special day and I hope y’all have so much fun🥰
My husband and I briefly considered having our speeches and toasts at our rehearsal dinner instead of our wedding, and ultimately, decided to have it at our wedding, because we splurged for a videographer to capture it and it allowed for wedding guests to better get to know us from our loved ones’ POV. Just a thought for any brides or wedding couples!
..hi Michel..! 🥰 Grandmar here, I have 2 follow-up questions: Will you give us a tutorial on how you made a successful Paper Airplane?🤭( the type of paper, and the folding instruction) 2) your furniture slipcovers.. how much did you spend, and what type were they..? thank you sweetie ✨.. my sons are all married but my grandchildren’s weddings are on the horizon and so much of what you did was so interesting and informative.. many congratulations to you and Jordy, and Max, and the families!💫❤️..
Hey friend ❤ love your channel
🥹🫶🏼Thank you so much sweet friend!!
Noted, for when I fall in love and marry my person!!!!
This was so helpful and gave me a lot of ideas. Thank you for sharing! Would you ever share the total cost of your wedding? I’m getting married later this year and have no idea what my budget should be. Everything is just so expensive!
Morn’n from Texas Michel! 🤠
Aweee hiii Texas friend!!🤍🤍
You put a lot of time into doing your brows. They look great! 👍🏽
THANK YOU🥹🥹
Watching you every week is like catching up with a close friend 😊 Sending you lots of love friend!🥰
