    I am so sorry about the loss of your grandfather! My grandfather passed away in December too. At my wedding I will be setting up a chair in honor of him because I know he will be in attendance even if he can not physically be there. Stay strong. ❤️ I pray for healing for you and your family.

    This is SO GOOD. I got married last week and had this realization too. Everyone acts as weddings and marriage is all rainbows and sunshine (which most of it is!) but they don’t talk about the stress and sadness! I appreciate you being raw with all of those who view this video!! It takes a lot to share the sadness or struggles during this time when it’s glamorized on social media!! I 100% related to every word you said and I seriously LOVE this video and your honesty!

    @jennademonbreun4078 Před 3 lety +16

    Hey girl, thank you for sharing about your loss and the hard stuff thats going on. I just wanna encourage you for a sec. A little background about me: my dad died 3 months before I got married. It was very hard and I just want you to know that you're not alone in this. One of the most valuable things that I learned in that season is that because of the Gospel, we can have both grief AND joy. We don't have to feel ashamed for either of those emotions. Jesus has conquered the grave and there is nothing that we can go through that he cannot empathize with. We can feel sadness because death and sickness aren't the way it's supposed to be. But we can also feel immense and indescribable joy because of the hope of future reconciliation in perfection with our loved ones and with the One whose sovereignty and love is forever good. Praying for your heart, as you process all the changes

    You're not the only one friend. It's totally ok. I got married three years ago at 19 dealing with a lot of anxiety and being absolutely terrible and afraid of change. I also had two of my grandparents get really sick and almost pass away right before and they couldn't come. I felt all those feelings too. It's ok and it will only make you and your hubby to be's relationship stronger. It was hard with so much change, but three years later we are strong together because of it and expecting our first baby! Praying for you. You'll get through it, God is bigger and its so so ok to not be ok.

  • @rig9602

    You had me in tears!😭 my grandfather passed away the February before I got married in November, I felt the same exact way as you. We set up a table to honor him with a picture of him on it at the reception and had a chair set up at the ceremony with a sign that said “we know you’d be here today if heaven wasn’t so far away”. I also had two small pictures in my bouquet of me and him together💗

    Jaclyn, thank you so much for being so vulnerable in this and open about how while you are so excited for this chapter of your life that you are also experiencing a trial where you’ve lost someone so special. I’ve lost 2 grandparents (1 that was last summer) and I often think about how they won’t get to see me graduate college, walk down the isle and have kids. Praying for you during this journey and so much love for who you are as person!! ❤️

    this!!
    i’ve been struggling with the same thing and feeling like there’s something wrong with me, too. i’m getting married next year, and i’m struggling so deeply with change. being vulnerable is the toughest, and i’m so thankful for your heart.
    because, you and i are hurting in the same ways. i’ve recently lost close friends that won’t be at my wedding, too. it’s just hard.
    i’m so thankful for your honest heart in knowing that i’m not alone. and, that YOU are not alone. there are others in the same boat. about to graduate college, move, get married, etc. so much change. change is SO hard. and, it’s totally okay to be deeply sad in some of the happiest moments. 🤍🤍

    Jaclyn, I’m so sorry to hear about your grandfathers passing. I lost my grandpa a couple years ago and he never saw me graduate high school. Thinking about all of the life events that is he going to miss sure does get to me quite a bit. However, I remind myself that God needed him more than I did right now. I also know that he is going to have the absolute best seat in the house for everything else that’s going to happen in my life. Stay strong and thank you for being vulnerable with us. We love you and are keeping your family close to our hearts in prayer.

    Jaclyn, you are amazing. You are so brave for being able to do school, plan a wedding, VLOG/CZcams while having to deal with such a terrible loss of an extremely close family member. Don't feel ashamed for having to be distant or taking a step back. Everyone deals with loss differently, and I don't think of you any less if that's what you need to cope. I'm sending SO much love to you and your family. Change is hard but sometimes it's for the best. Keep being you and smiling!!

Your grandfather will be there in spirit enjoying it with you. You’re blessed in so many ways! Just breathe and let all your emotions out. Remember it’s ok not to be ok.😇❤️

  • @baileethomas2445

    I can SO relate to that. I’m about to get married and move 10hrs away where his family/friends/life is and had to just walk through grieving leaving my city, fam, church...all the things. Obviously there’s still good and bad days, but God is so faithful and I know so much fruit is going to come from the change. I think it’s so powerful to recognize that the exciting things don’t negate the hard ones& to really sit with the Lord and ask for His perspective on it all cause that’s what gives us peace and hope for the future🤍 I pray you ask the Lord to give you exactly what you need during this fun but sometimes scary season

    I think a wedding is a little sad when you have a big change from pre-married life. I was sad during my wedding because my grandma and step grandma were not at my wedding. They both passed away about two months before I got married. I hope you can have something special for your grandpa at the wedding. I pinned my step grandma's cross pin to my bouquet. I hope the rest of wedding planning goes well! I am excited for the wedding vlog!

  • @mon1668

    When I got married I was also stressed and sad, my husband was in the army when we got married and he was stationed on the other side of the states, so when we did get married and moved in together, I was so far from anyone I knew. I just had him, I didn't even know the area before moving there, it was scary but it was also fun. And I'm sorry for your loss, I know how much it hurts to lose a family member. Just stay strong and focus on the good and the fun things, but remember it shows strength to be able to open up, especially because you share your life with all of us. It is nice to see someone open up about all the realness of getting married

I’m crying alongside you, but keep your head up, he’s still watching you and Sam as you enter this new and exciting chapter of your lives, your grandpa is just doing it in a different way. God has so many plans for both you and Sam and I know your heart will grow stronger. Praying for you and your family as you navigate this adjustment! Xo

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels. Both my grandparents passed away before my wedding and I thought the same thoughts as you. It’s hard. As much as I wish they were both there, I’m so thankful for the memories I do have with them. They were both so very special to me.

    It’s normal to be filled with mixed emotions with big life changes! Change is scary and exciting and it’s ok to feel both emotions! A quote (from Whinnie the Pooh) that always helps me with transitions/changes in life is “How lucky I am to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard”. The sadness you’re feeling about saying goodbye to this stage in your life is because you’ve been blessed with where you’ve been! Best of luck with everything!

    Hi Jaclyn! I appreciate your openness in regards to the realities of wedding planning. It was a hard and very stressful time for my husband and I last year with the pandemic in full swing. Media puts a lot of pressure on how you think the process is supposed to look and feel, but just know that you aren’t alone in those feelings. We all experience them, they just aren’t shown on social media usually as you said. You will get through it and be stronger for it!

  • @dancer1639

    1st off know that’s it’s okay to be scared. Your going to be making a huge change. It’s fearful. It’s frightening. But God will have your hand every step of the way. I’m getting married soon as well and wedding planning is stressful and you know people only ever really post the good stuff about things and are never truly real. Social media is hardly ever real. There’s days all you want to do is just scream or cry or just break down but you don’t you just keep your head up and keep being strong.
    And as for your grandfather before you ever even spoke about it I started crying bc I could see the pain you were trying to hold back all over your face. Pain that I to, know so well. I don’t want to make this comment about myself, but I lost my grandma on December 4th, 2013. It feels like yesterday still. And it does hurt knowing that she isn’t physically going to be at any of my big life events. She wasn’t there for my graduation she wasn’t there for my sister having her first great grandchild she wasn’t there to see my mother finally buy a nice house that she worked so long and so hard for. She won’t be there for my wedding or me ever having kids and it’s hard. Grieving is very hard to do and it’s honestly something that you never get over you just learn to live with it and you really start to appreciate that God chose them to rise from this earth onto better things in heaven. And that’s where I really find my comfort.
    I say still get him that boutonniere and place it on a seat in the ceremony as a special thing to honor him by. It will make your wedding that much more special. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this but I pray you do. And I hope it makes you feel less alone in such a difficult situation. Even tho you do not know me I absolutely adore the human being that you are and how you always stay true to yourself and strive to be a better person than you were yesterday. Much love and many prayers your way.

    Jacklyn, first off I want to say thank you for making a video like this. I no your wedding has already come and gone and it was beautiful! I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandfather, I'm currently planning my wedding and have gone through the same thing with losing my grandmother in February. I really felt how hard it was having to take her name off the guest list, honestly I haven't even been able to cross it out or erase it. I understand that pain and to hear someone else talk about it somehow makes me feel a little bit better knowing that I'm not the only one that has gone through it. 💔

I’m 23 and moved out with my boyfriend, away from my family and childhood home & dog, about 8 months ago and I’m STILL sad about it sometimes.. like I love being in an apartment with my man but I miss my family and my old routine etc. I thought I was crazy for basically grieving my old life lol I don’t like change and for all of it to be happening at once kind of made me spiral for a bit.. I cried or tear’d up almost everytime I’d go I’d go home for like a month lol

    I was super excited to get married and was super happy but I was going to be moving to another country to be with my would have been husband.
    It made me really sad that I was leaving my family and all I knew and I felt guilty for being sad thinking that I was only meant to be happy. Also he would make me feel bad for wanting to treasure the time I had with my family before I left and said I should have been more excited and forward planning for our marriage. I'm so glad you are validating peoples natural feelings! Thank you!

    Sweet Jaclyn, when you get vulnerable with your followers, you’re helping so many others. It takes a lot of courage to talk about your emotions and feelings. It’s okay not to be okay. We’re all broken, and when we come together and realize we aren’t alone in our struggles, it’s a beautiful thing! It’s healthy to process those emotions, and not suppress them. God is close to the broken hearted. He sees all your tears. ❤️
    Thank you for sharing, sweet friend!

Both of my grandmothers have passed away and it is going to be tough without them! Wedding planning is exciting but extremely exhausting!

    Crying with you jaclyn, losing a grandparent is so hard, and I also hate change but you’re right, you’ll be okay. I’m praying God gives you strength through this season of change

    Thank you for sharing everything. It’s not always easy to share everything about your life in a public format but I love that you are open and real with us. You are an inspiration to so many! As hard as the moments may seem, you always have the fond memories of your grandfather to think back on. Praying! ❤️

    Whelp, this video made me cry. I’m not currently planning a wedding, but the process of helping my oldest brother plan his this past year, made me relate to you with the loss...and it makes me sad for the people that I have lost who won’t be at my wedding. I just know exactly how you feel and it just made me tear up. Your videos are so raw and real and we need more of it on the social media platform. I’m excited for you and your future. I haven’t even met you before, but hopefully one day. There is so much ahead for you and I’m cheering you on♥️

    I am so happy that I found another bride that understands me! I'm getting married March 27th & part of me feels like I am still this kid that shouldn't be closing this "kid chapter" & now I'm officially not this little girl anymore. I'm not a fan of change either, yet I am so excited to marry my best friend & spend forever with him, it's a crazy feeling.
    My grandfather passed away 3/24/19 so my Grandpop won't be at mine either, I totally understand the feeling.
    Prayers for you girl, you're not alone in this.

    Hey Jaclyn! I don't normally comment on CZcams videos, but something about your wedding update just struck a chord with me. I am also engaged and feeling many of the same things you are; your video is exactly what I needed to see, thank you! I can also relate to the loss of your grandfather; both of my grandparents passed away in November, and it is really hard thinking about my wedding without either of them there. There are a lot of emotions that come with the engagement season, and thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing them. Love your videos!

    Jaclyn, I am so sorry for your loss. I know so well the grief of losing a grandparent that you love so much. As time has gone on God has brought me so much peace and let me know that not only is he right by my side but so are my loved ones who are now in their forever home. You are so strong!

    Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing as I'm sure what you're going through is relatable to a lot of girls, or future situations we might experience for those of us who aren't quite in that season yet.
    I just love how you share the normal/mundane, sad/hard and happy/fun parts of your life all together because that is the very real reality of life and it's encouraging to watch.
    Praying you feel God's comfort and peace during this season of both excitement and grief. 💛💛

    Jaclyn! I completely understand where you are coming from with planning your wedding with taking your grandfather out of your guest list. I lost my grandfather in November and it’s still SO SO hard to realize he won’t physically be there. God will have him by His side while you and Sam get married! Praying for you and so excited to see your wedding! 💛

    Jaclyn, thank you so much for sharing! I relate to this a lot. The Christmas before I got married I cried for about a week straight processing those emotions of moving away from family, friends & into a new chapter! (I also hate change haha) It's so normal and I'm thankful that you are starting the conversation about it :)

    No it is okay to be sad. I was sad and it is hard knowing you are leaving a chapter of your life is over. I remember feeling that way 20yrs later. It is hard at first but then it gets easier.

    Jaclyn, thank you so much for sharing and simply being honest. I cannot imagine what you’re going though with everything and the passing of your grandpa. This past summer my oldest sister got married and six days before the wedding our grandpa passed away. The reception was on his farm and he was so so excited to see his first granddaughter get married. It was a shock to our whole family and probably the hardest thing for my sisters and I to to through, especially in the midst of a wedding. Completely unexpected. In spite of the heartache and loss we experienced, the Lord was gracious and sufficient. Our grandpa got to have the best view as he got to watch the wedding from heaven and rejoice with our Father about the unity being made that represents Christ and the church. How wonderful that he got to watch from above with the Father. My prayer for you is that you would have peace and that the Lord will take any burdens off of your shoulders. It will be a beautiful day and your grandfather will be watching from above ❤️

    Its gonna be hard no matter what but what's helped me after my grandmothers passing in November and with graduation so close is finding ways to include them even in the slightest way

    I'm so sorry about your Grandfather passing away. I know that is so hard. I recently got married and both my husband and I do not have any living grand parents and that was hard. It is totally okay to be sad about that and all the things you have changing in your life. All i can say is just enjoy each stage of life you are in. Really take in each opportunity you have and live in that moment. You are totally going to love being married especially not living very close to each other right now. Praying for you right now. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

    I’ve only been following you for a bit but I love your videos. I know it’s hard losing a loved one. I’m getting married too and unfortunately my grandmother will not be there. I also lost her and it’s tough not sharing that with her. Nothing is wrong with you. It’s just a natural feeling to have when you lose someone special. I suggest incorporating something small into your wedding to have it like he is there. Either in your bouquet or in the ceremony. I plan on having a picture of my grandmother in a reserved chair like if she was there. Just a suggestion. I hope you feel better and I’ll pray to God that he heels your pain and may he guide you in the wedding process. 🙏
