Please thank your fellow Hutterites for allowing us a glimpse into your life. We really appreciate that! It's so inspiring and encouraging. The world feels so disconnected and lost and at times even toxic and these videos show that yes, imperfect human beings *can* and do thrive in a like-minded community. We need to get back to that.
What fun! I quite like how the focus is upon the couple and the communities. It's so refreshing and different from the loud, expensive weddings we see in secular life. I love the singing!
The women's choir is absolutely lovely, but I really admired the men singing. It seems unusual these days to hear praises to the Lord sung out in a strong, manly manner. Awesome.
Dear Giselle, As a Bavarian I understood every word of the German wedding song - it sounded similar to our Bavarian church songs. It is so fascinating that you kept your traditions and your Austrian dialect until today. All the best to you, Philipp PS: My brother has a good friend and his family name is also "Waldner" 🙂
Hutterish and Bavarian German are so similar to Yiddish. I have no problem understanding them. It’s quite fun to see how different and yet similar these dialects all are!
Beautifully and wonderfully different than the splashy, ridiculously expensive weddings of the world. The marriage, the joining of two into one, is the most important part,...as The Lord intended.
I am no longer a Christian, but one of the reasons I love this channel is to hear the beautiful singing of the Hutterite choir which Giselle includes in every video.
I hope you have not had a trauma to drive you away from Jesus.. dont forget Paul in the Bible used to hate and kill Christians and I was once anti Christian (but not anti Jesus} but all people have flaws and sin so I hope you feel differently again one day .Hugs
Thank you for sharing that. I loved learning how the Hutterites do weddings. There's definitely a difference and I really like that. I like that the Hutterite way seems more peaceful and easy going so that all can enjoy and it doesn't have all the stresses and expenses as the other way. It also keeps things equal from one couple to the next where as the other way always seems to be a competition with dresses, food and venues etc. I think I would prefer your way more.
Thank you Giselle for making this vlog for us. I know it is a lot of hard work, but you must know how much we all appreciate it. Very insightful, and I must agree with several other peoples comments about how refreshing the wedding is compared to the weddings in the world. God Bless you!!!
I agree. Low key allows the MEANING of the wedding to be the focus. Too many of the secular celebrations are expensive entertainment for the new couple, leaving them and their parents in debt. There is very little emphasis on the Biblical aspect. Giselle's colony does it well and with proper focus.
It looks and sounds liken a wonderful way to celebrate a couple's marriage! Congratulations to the newlyweds, may they have many happy years together! Another skillfully done video Giselle!
Thank you Giselle for sharing your traditions. I love learning about the colonies. Be well and G-d bless. Looking forward to your next video. ❤️ Carolyn, Ohio, U.S.A.
In the end it’s love, faith and the community which count the most and not the shiny bling bling. Thank you and your community for sharing with us and congratulations to the married couple!
Beautiful traditions. How nice that both colonies get to take part in the Celebration and that the couples are the made to feel so special. Thank you for sharing
That was a sweet simple wedding that didn't cost an arm and a leg! Kona is so darn cute. My little pup thinks ants are a big challenge. Hugs to you and Kona!
Enjoyed the video. Love the music it always carries my heart to the Lord. Enjoy all your videos Giselle. Thank you for the work you put into doing this!
Wow now that's a good time. Exhausting even if the work is shared. I love how this is really about two becoming one and family and community coming together to celebrated the union. Not just the expensive wedding dress and the decoration and so on. Very interesting video and thank you for explaining the steps. Wonderful as always.
Oh my goodness, the singing was glorious. Beautiful. Reminds me of the competition singing we used to do waaaay back in the 1970s as children in Scotland. I loved your choral singing. Your celebrations are basically the same as world over, families and communities coming together, eating special food ( and drink) and being happy together. I love party food & lemonade! And you get a cake to take home… what’s not to love? Thank you for sharing this special day😊
Thanks for the video. Love all your videos, and your focus on the Lord and your way of living. I loved to see the four beautiful young ladies on the swing in their lovely colorful dresses.
Love it! We have had so many interactions with Hutterites over the years..always awsome friendly folks. It's so good to know more and wonderful to find out faith is the same..and wonderful songs of faith. Thank you!
Love this video! Was so curious about yals wedding traditions. Sounds very cool and well focused on the importance of the sacrament instead of all the commercial bits in ours. (generally speaking) The choirs are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. God’s peace to you and yours. ✌🏻🌱 Also Kona wanted to talk to you so bad when u set up the camera. So funny
Thank you for sharing the traditions for the Hutterite wedding. It’s wonderful to hear the songs from the three choirs. The great thing about your vlogs is that I don’t need to see the faces of people, the video clips and the way you narrate tells the story. You are very respectful! The wedding cake looks yummy 😋. See you next week Giselle 😊🍁🙏
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for showing us this beautiful way of celebrating a wedding, and including footage! I love seeing other traditions and other ways to celebrate special moments. The choir sounds amazing! And btw the literal translation of Hochzeit is Wedding in German:)
So beautiful loved the singing watching your videos Giselle makes me long to go back to the real Christian way of living may God bless you for touching peoples heart with such beautiful video’s
What a nice surprise to see a post from you today. We even got to see Kona today, she is a wonderful dog and loves you so much Giselle. Have a great week.
This was very beautiful and nice to see. My husband and his family are Mennonite (I too have joined their church). I know there is many different colonies or denominations of Mennonite. I have been to a few of his relatives weddings which is of old colony. I always loved that the day was about the actualy sacrament of marriage, a joining of the two with God. Thank you for sharing. From Ontario
That was incredible. What a wonderful way to celebrate a Union of marriage. Thank you so much. Hope you have a much needed rest in your time off from your Vlog
Giselle, thanks for explaining about weddings. This was very informative and I learned allot about weddings in your culture. The singing was amazing , so beautiful, calm and relaxing. Thanks for this extra vlog it was amazing. Speaking of marriage, I found this great quote from Ecclesiastes 4:9 "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up." Meaning: Having someone to lean on through good and bad times is a sacred gift.
Absolutely beautiful traditions! I Love the Hutterite people. Thank you so much Giselle for your wonderful Vlogs and all that you share! Each week I look forward to your video posts. You are always so inspiring to me. Praise the Lord, and the messages you share in his name.
Beautiful video. My heart was so open watching this. Just the joy of the day. You do well with your story telling of who you are and your community. Thank you:)
Thank you so much Giselle for sharing so much with us. I love the way your weddings are done so unlike ours that cost thousands of dollars. You are so much ahead of us that way.
I think such a wedding woukd cost a similar amount of money as a small wedding in the world. Just consider the amount of food they need. Luckily the Hutterites produce many things still on their own.
What a wonderful way to include all those important to the Bride and Groom. A joyful gathering not tarnished with excess. And the music is so beautiful. From the heart.
Thank tou Giselle .this was a wonderful celebration and i love you dress patterns they are so beautiful .kona was trying to be a ham in front of the camera 😂 I did love the singing so much thank you again Giselle ..
Thank you for sharing this with us. The singing is just beautiful. Also...I am envious of the Ruffles All Dressed Chips I saw ! We had them here in Ohio USA for a limited time about 5 years ago and I loved them !! I understand they are a Canadian thing..wish we still had them. 🙂
What a beautiful video and so interesting and a great surprise! I loved the singing and I especially liked the first song (alleluia). I would really like to go to a lot of weddings to get a cake!😂What an amazing tradition! Congratulations to the bride and groom.👰🤵🎉 🎈 Kona is so helpful! 😊🐕
Thank u Giselle. This is a wonderful video. We are friends with two of the colonies around us. I have always wanted to know how weddings where done. Beautiful singing
Both my husband and I are absolutely delighted to see a Hutterite wedding ceremony. The choir is top notch and we would love a CD of your choir singing. Sending all the love and blessings your way to you and yours!
There are websites you can search to find Hutterite/Hutterian youth choirs. It will not allow me to paste the websites in, but there are several. I hope you can find them!
Thank you for explaining weddings. I have learned so much from your beautiful videos already. Dankeschön. Jetzt weiß ich etwas über hutterische Hochzeiten. Ich habe schon so viel in Deinen wunderschönen Videos gelernt. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.

oh yes please tell them the blessing they are to us out here
I will and thank you for being here with us :)
What fun! I quite like how the focus is upon the couple and the communities. It's so refreshing and different from the loud, expensive weddings we see in secular life. I love the singing!
Everyone who enjoys a big wedding in the “secular” life, are not bad people. That was mean
How could anyone's heart not be touched by that beautiful singing?
The choirs were wonderful
The women's choir is absolutely lovely, but I really admired the men singing. It seems unusual these days to hear praises to the Lord sung out in a strong, manly manner. Awesome.

Linda Hoffman. God will continue calling you. I hope you answer...
were you a Christian before??
@@marthawalter7806 Yes, baptized and confirmed.
why thank you I'm glad that you enjoy it :)

I am so grateful for the colony allowing you to share so many things with utube audience. God speaks to me each time. Thank you.
Fun, exciting, lovely, Blessed!!! Weddings do NOT have to be elaborate or expensive to be WONDERFUL and meaningful!!
I enjoyed this so much, thank you! The choral singing was absolutely beautiful.
are u on Drugs?? that howling was dreadful a group of Dog sound better. Stop the drugs and clean out your ears.
That is my favorite as well I love the choir so beautiful!❤
Loved how it’s a special time for the bride and groom without all the expense and stress of appearances and things that don’t really matter!!♥️
Wow the choir sounds absolutely amazing. I’ve never been so touched by choir singing before now, I have goosebumps!
What a gorgeous choir ❤
ThNk you for sharing that with us! It’s always wonderful to learn about your community.

did you see that she was busy with a cricket? I didn't notice until I finished editing the video 🤭
Yes I saw Kona “draw a bead” on something off camera 😆! She is like our Trixie, no prey too small to attack. So funny!
How wonderful, I so agree the communities are.involved ...food, fun and great wishes without staggering expense - yet it looked marvelous. Well done.
I enjoy your channel it has taught me so much about life in your colony and others thank you so letting me learn about your life in the colony

I love your blogs about your life as a Hutterite. I grew up around them but never understood their life style
