    It's so nice to see people on CZcams who are so relatable. Uyen and German boyfriend are so kind and normal. It makes me like them so much more than people on channels who are obsessed with material things and seemingly never worry about anything or feel a bit inferior. They are so genuine, it is impossible to not like them.

    Two weddings is a great idea! I did the same thing with my Czech husband. Our "main" legal wedding was in a cottage in southern Czech Republic, close to his family's village. Only my closest family members came to Europe and they had a great vacation. Then the following week we flew to America and had a 2nd informal ceremony and reception in Ohio. Then we went to Costa Rica for Honeymoon!
    I know Germany has a lot of legal requirements to get married, but since you live in Germany, make the legal ceremony in Germany and it will save you headache and paperwork in the future.

    I was the saaaaame. We were engaged for years. Just living our lives. But one day I realized that I did want a chill wedding so our families could meet and celebrate. Of course everything was booked for years to come. Coming off of covid shutdowns, venues were already booked until 2028 in 2023. My now husband had a coworker who had an airbnb farmhouse. We set up right in the garden. We bought a ton of wine, frozen, and premade food from Sams club and assigned cousins/coworkers cooking duty. We played music from my phone plugged in to speakers in the garden for the ceremony and moved them into the house for a family dance party. It drizzled during the ceremony but we didn't mind. We danced in the grass with shoes off and had a great time as a family. Best day of my life.

    As a foreigner having married a german in Germany too: besides reception planning, I advice to plan the paperwork way in advance for the official registration. I needed to order some of the documents from my home country's government 6 months prior to the wedding, others had to be ordered 3 months prior and still needed to be valid at the wedding day etc. Please get an Beratungstermin at the Standesamt just to ask which documents you need when and make a list.
    Congratulations on your wedding plans and I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

      We had 2 hiccups along the way which meant things had to be redone or sent away again for a special stamp.
      Time is key. Give yourselves loads of time to get things in place. And try to get a preliminary date set with the Standesamt. It was so annoying that documents had to be valid for this 6 month window when your date can't even be set in stone until 6 months before. You want to have things ready but not too early or they are invalid. Not too late and you aren't ready.
      Got there in the end. Amazing day. Great to see all our friends and family together which never happens due to the distances.

    I definitely recommend getting the paperwork ready before planning anything.
    I had a wedding nightmare because of this, since my (finally) husband is also a foreigner.
    We started preparing all the paperwork 3 months before the wedding and 3 days before the final day we found out the embassy screwed up and we couldn’t get officially married (imagine the stress).
    So we had to hold 2 weddings, one “unofficial”, and then 6 months later the official one
    That’s how long it took us to gather all the paperwork again…
    Please remember that gathering paperwork from BOTH sides takes time, that a lot of the papers also needs to be translated, and lastly the processing of paperwork will also take time.
    Yes, it’s a lot of stressful waiting…

      Sounds like my dream wedding to be honest. I hate the idea of spending ridiculous amounts of money just for a wedding, or making my friends and family feel like they have to buy expensive suits/dresses when flying over will already be an expensive hassle. And my girlfriend and I have friends from all over the world so I already know getting them all here will be such a headache. Plus I don't even know if I want my family there, and that's a whole nother can of worms.
      I'm very grateful for the fact that I'm still in uni and so is my girlfriend, so I can keep putting off this train of thought for as long as possible. 😅
      I already know I don't want to spend the rest of my life with anyone else, and she knows that too, so in that sense I'm very much like Uyen. I don't think anything will really change, we'll be how we've always been, it's really more just a legal formality and a celebration for our friends and family to enjoy. So whether it'll happen 5 or 10 years from now, to us it's really not that big of a deal.

    I can tell you it is possible to plan a wedding fast in Germany, my husband and I had 3 months from deciding to get merried to the actual wedding day. But we had a small wedding with like 30 people in my in-laws' garden. Even if you both don't like to dance, I can tell you from experience the guests will love dancing and karaoke!
    Make sure to make an apoointment for the legal marriage in the Standesamt well in advance, when one of you is a foreigner, especially non-EU, they require many documents and take a long time.
    Regarding location I think a castle is totally doable and not much more expensive than other locations. And around Mannheim, in the Weinheim area, there are many. Many people also use golf courses as wedding locations, the restaurants normally have good food, scenery is beautiful and you do not have neighbours to compalin about the noise after 22 h. Many wineries have also locations for events and in the Mannheim area there are many.
    I hope you have fun with the planning of your wedding!

    There are only three things your guests will remember: the music, the food, and the conversation. We had our reception at a restaurant with good food and sprung for a local (small town) live jazz band - everyone still talks about how much fun they had dancing! I'm sure that if you guys do karaoke, it'll go down in history. :D
    (Also, if you're open to it, having a morning wedding instead of an evening one can be a great way to save money on venues - have a reception brunch/lunch, and then your guests still have the rest of the afternoon and evening to themselves to relax, explore the town, arrange their own extra activities, etc. It's not for everyone, but we loved it for ours!)

    Marriage is intimate, personal, you learn to become an even better listener, negotiator, compromiser. It is about accepting, understanding, gentle side coming out. Stats of successful marriages are just that, stats. It’s what you put into it….my mom once said love and marriage is like a bank account. You have to put in for when you need to take out. If all you are doing is taking out from the account it becomes empty and when it goes into debt that when mutual hurting becomes chronic.
    Love each other…life and love only gets better when you are putting positive energy into it….

    My husband and I couldn’t really find any locations in August in Switzerland in 3 months notice (I could not stand planning for longer than that) but we got lucky with a newly “released” forest hut with bbq near his mum’s house. He just ordered skewers for the bbq and other typical Swiss food from a deli, good variety of beer and cider, and the weather blessed us with sunshine and blue skies. His late grandma and other grandparents were first to come at 12pm and last to leave in the evening, and that’s my favourite memory. My only regret was not hiring a proper photographer and my own good camera ran out of batteries since I was too busy to charge it. So don’t forget the photographer as it’ll keep those memories for longer!

    Planning a wedding in Germany is a full time job! Do not underestimate how much work it is. We had a christmas wedding at Burg Wildeck in Abstatt, about 95km from Mannheim. It was beautiful. Getting married in winter is perfect, it isn't hot and you can plan to have the whole day inside without worrying what the weather will be like. Highly recommend. Also, we used Dein Empfang to help with all the decorations, they are a great team and it was a big help!

    "Really? But I'm not pregnant!" 🤣🤣🤣
    ... And then you forgot to tell your family?!!! 🤣🤣🤣
    That is so incredibly genuine and hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣
    And it is also completely understandable. Covid and the size of the world, and time zones, and your own acceptance of your future plans, all would make it easy to forget you hadn't actually told them. I think it's sweet and adorable, like the two of you. Beautiful and genuine.
    Congratulations!!!🌍🌎🌏🏩
    I'm happy for your summer wedding in Germany, with the birds singing, the sky blue and bright, and the flowers beautiful and new. The local brewery with good food and cheap (good!) beer will be perfect!!! Yes!
    I'm happy for your spiritual wedding in Vietnam, with your ancestors. I know it's a lot to plan, and so many people's needs to consider.
    Good luck on everything! I know you will decide quickly and easily, and everything will go beautifully well. No matter what happens, your wedding celebrations will be perfect, heartwarming, and memorable. As German Boyfriend says, it will be nice if you will both be there, and you will say, "Yes!" Everything else is just detail, lol.
    KARAOKE! 😊
    At both weddings, you will be sure to be cheered and celebrated by fans all over the world, virtual friends you've made, like me. We love you!
    P.S. The word "fiance" is weird, and it's really okay to keep calling each other Girlfriend and Boyfriend. I think it's sweet to always think of you as "German Boyfriend."

    I think two weddings is SUCH a good idea if you are able to do it!! I have quite a few friends and acquaintances who had two weddings because the couple's families have different cultural backgrounds (and therefore different wedding customs that they wanted to honour) and/or live in different countries.

    My husband and I have been married for 32 years. If I had it to do over again I’d have had a smaller wedding, but that said our wedding was the best party I’ve ever been to! We had a live band and that was great! We spent a big part of our honeymoon in Germany! My host sister was my maid of honor, and my German best friend was a bridesmaid too. It was nice to go see the rest of my host family and German friends right after the wedding. My host mom hosted a lovely brunch for us.

  • @OuchingTigerLimpingDragon

    It went from having no wedding to having two weddings! Also, that impression of German BF was _gold._
    I was doing little happy screams at both the idea and the execution of the proposal. So very sweet! Going to go rewatch the Lava short now 😊

    In America wedding venues also book even years in advance. My husband was very involved when we planned our wedding too. It is lovely and the grooms day as well not just the bride.

  • @BenjaminVestergaard

    Many Germans actually go to Denmark to get married, because all the formalities can be done within a month if you have the documentation ready. But do remember that the foreign documents need to be translated (German, French or English is accepted IIRC) and notarised/verified.

    • @shinyshinythings
      @shinyshinythings Před měsícem

      That’s great advice it sounds like! Are EU weddings recognized in all EU countries automatically?

    • @BenjaminVestergaard
      @BenjaminVestergaard Před měsícem +1

      @@shinyshinythings I don't know if Denmark informs the other countries.
      But if you ask for an international certificate it has translations in Danish, German, French and English and will be universally recognised across the EU.
      So if it takes an extra step to register it locally, that's just a bit of paperwork afterwards... they'll not question its validity.

    I find it reasonable for you to not feel a huge change from being together to being engaged, because you moved all over the world, which is a maybe bigger investment. When my girlfriend and I decided to get engaged (and we are both in for a long engagement till my studies are over), it changed something for both of us, especially in our connection to our family, it felt like we made the first step to become a new family plus we bought stuff around the flat differently, talking about the future felt more like it actually will happen some day.
    Congrats to both of you :)

    Planning two weddings is definitely an overwhelming task. I did all the planning for the first wedding and had a big help from my mother in law with the second wedding. I recommend taking all the help you can get from family/friends with the wedding planning. It will make things go smoother for you. And karaoke at a wedding is super fun. I had karaoke instead of dancing and everyone had a wonderful time. They still talk about it to this day! Lol
    I wish you both lots a luck on planning the two weddings and congrats! :)

I did this in America, a close to home small one on the beach for friends. Then I also had to fly home for a fancy traditional church wedding for my family or they would flip. 😅 Also I would recommend looking over wedding planners (not the people necessarily they are very expensive, but just online guides/checklist). There's a LOT than can go into it, but it can be a simple as you want.
