    Never thought I'd be sitting on the couch with my spouse watching a wedding video on CZcams of two people I've never met while shedding tears of happiness.
    We are so happy for both of you, congratulations!!
    Also, Gene losing the ring in the ocean is incredibly on brand. Now we need the follow up where Kari somehow finds it.

    The grandma story choked me up man. 😢 My grandma got to make it to my impromptu wedding before she passed. That was sweet of her to get that pin for you. We did our wedding at the beach, with no permit we found a spot, and then my mom and Dad performed the ceremony as we were surrounded by our siblings and close family. This weekend makes 10 years. Congrats to you both, I've watched for a while. I'm happy for you both. One of my favorite channels. I enjoy watching you all on this channel.

    Congratulations, what a blast. I had 44 years before I lost her last year. It’s great to marry your best friend. Enjoy and savour each day. Just tell her you love her each and every day because one day she may not be there. That is the best video you have ever done, and the first on that has not been dominated by Gene, with Kari’s quiet, strong voice calming the waters. What a great day. Thanks.

    Well, I have been a videographer, and a wedding videographer for 10 years, and I've been watching your videos for the last 6 years so you are one of my CZcams mentors. I didn't expect so much drama, so much emotion, so much serenity in a video in wedding video. You two did awesome. You are now my number one couple. Thank you for sharing your best moments with the world to show that true love exists and can be achieved by the simplest things possible. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

    COngratulations!!!!! Such a beautiful video I definitely cried at a bunch of different points. I don't know why this video got to me so much but I've been watching this channel for a number of years now-- watching the sagas of your lives together through moving in together, Gene breaking his elbow, the loss of lefty, renovating a house together-- so many beautiful, sad, funny, and genuine moments that you shared with us. I know that we are just humble observers in your unique lives, but I cannot express the joy I felt watching this video and seeing all of those moments culminate into this unbelievably stunning, heartwarming, and perfect day of love. It felt like watching two of my oldest friends getting married (in the least parasocial way possible), and it gave me hope for my life too. To believe again that someone could smile the way that Kari smiles at Gene during their vows. To have such wonderful supportive friends like Sam to be there for you every moment of the way. I am so unbelievably excited to see what else life has in store for this dynamic duo. Thank you for sharing these very real and very human moments with us. Congratulations again

I also lost my wedding ring, but it was nearly 20 years later, after losing a lot of weight, on a hike together on our anniversary in the Green Mountains of Vermont where we live. Your wedding photos are FANTASTICALLY GORGEOUS.

HUUUUGE dog lover family here and have always loved Chickie and Pita so the roller coaster started early but then the grandma pin, and the stunning scenery, and the vow video.. HOLY CRAP I was a mess!! Thank you to both of you for being so so so amazing. Always been a fan but def a fan for life.

    Rain on your wedding day is good luck! Yes, I agree it always clears at the right time. I lost my wedding ring struggling in the water after a windsurfing breakdown on my wife's birthday, UGH! Still together and celebrating our 39th anniversary next month. You two are on track for a great life together in my book.

But man I could not be happier for a couple I've never met before. I saw this on my for you feed and clicked immediately! I love how you 2 are with each other, I love how there are no airs of putting on a personality, I love how your wedding was very "yinz" (as Pittsburgh peeps would say) . Man thank you for sharing, thank you for inspiring not just artwork but life goals, and congrats to new couple! Keep being awesome ❤❤

    As a Wedding Photographer, I am so amused by your story and it's moments like these where all things come together in unreal shots that have everyone in tears... and then the laughter as you narrate the story. Congrats you both Gene and Kari for an amazing adventure and those that will come in the beautiful years ahead as your souls grow closer. #TeammatesforLife I look forward to meeting you both as well as Mateo and Paula at Distrito Coffee on a future 1st Thursday.

    Kari and Gene, I want to wish you both congratulations and a lifetime of love and happiness! From watching your videos throughout the years, I can see the love and support you two share for one another. I have been married for almost 30 years to my best friend. I see a lot of the same qualities in companionship that you two share, as my wife and I do. This tells me that you both will have a long and happy life together. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. The past six months have been a little stressful here at home while my wife and I deal with my newly developed heart problems and getting to see your Wedding video brought some happiness to my day. Again, congrats and stay happy!

Santa Barbara is my town and I have hosted a few dinners in that room at the Lark. You could not have picked a better place! Gene, don't feel bad, I lost my ring in the first year of my marriage. You will get an another one and it will always carry the same meaning. Your ceremony looked amazing, you two really brought the weather on your shoulders. What an awesome day for the both of you. Congrats!

    7:35 What a magical moment, the light shining through the redwoods with the rain coming through! Oh my god a photographer couldn't plan that in a million years!! Pure luck and magic! This video has me all choked up, it really hit me. I'm so happy for you two, it would be my dream if I could ever have a love as half as magical as the love that you two share! I think the rain was a nice omen, like it was cleansing the past, making way for the light of the future of you both together!
    Congratulations, Gene and Kari!

    OMG! So many parts of this video made me cry - starting with how beautiful Kari looked to the gift of grandma's pin, the video pledging your love to Kari, the light during a hard rain, the rainbow after a hard rain to the sun shining on your beautiful day to ending it with Ticky walking again on his own. Many happy moment tears for sure!
    Your day and your lives were and are truly filled with many blessings, for sure! I'm so so happy for you both. And BTW, I hear it's good luck when it rains on your wedding day and I can see the luck that surrounded you .both from the start of your day to the end. Congratulations!

    17:07: Your marriage is not the kind that needs the original ring to be great.

Replace the ring with the same type and love your life together! Congratulations!

    I love you both for being real and down to earth. I started watching your channel at the start of the pandemic and it has been my official source for reviews since. Kari is one of the reasons why people watch your vids, and Chickie and of course, Sam and Dylan. Such wonderful guys as your "office mates", great team! Congrats and grow more potatoes.
