Good morning!
On Sunday, two hours before I share some really big news.This morning I'm sharing that I got married on, well I think I'm gonna go live on YouTube first because my Sunday morning slot is 9 .30 in the morning.So I wanted to walk Cooper and like make my bed and stuff and then like do things before we go live.
I let these die.
at this point no one knows I'm married yet.No one knows because well people suspect things but there's been some very questionable pictures of me online and I've dropped like a couple of hints and I also forgot to photoshop out my ring like a couple times.So I wanted to put my vlog live today and just basically stay home the whole day and reply to comments.But I do have a few things to do today like we unfortunately just which I don't want to do.I don't want to do that.I don't want to do that.
And what else do I need to do today?And I'm packing to leave.So I need to pack as well.All in all, quite a chilled Sunday too.Tell everyone you got married.As I said in the video that you saw.
last week that's going live today confusing but as i said in that video i'm gonna do a big like q a whatever you want to know wedding tea i don't even know what this video is going to turn out to be i'm going to wait to see your comments today i'm going to do that all today i think we'll do it like throughout the day i have a lot to say actually this is going to be a long one i think get yourself a cup of tea because we're going to be here for a while we got a lot of catching up to do guys i don't know if you've noticed but my new pajamas audrey got them for meThey say wifey on them.
It's a tough life.
Should we take you out, Mr. Coops?Coopy, what are you doing?Come on, let's walk.We didn't get very far on our walk, did we, Coops?No.
No, we did not.
It was a bit hot for you out there already, wasn't it?Somebody stole my seat.Oh my gosh, we have T minus half an hour.T minus half an hour.I'm awake now, I'm awake.A little bit nervous, a little bit nervous.
I need to get ready so that we put this video live on time.Don't talk to me.
Pretty much since I started my YouTube channel, every single Sunday, I feel like I decided to upload on Sundays like seven years ago or something, and pretty much every single Sunday, maybe bar two or three, I have put my own videos live, and I don't even schedule them.There's a schedule button on YouTube.I don't schedule them.I literally put them live.I don't know why I started off doing that because I was just on my computer like ready to reply to comments and stuff and then I just kept doing it.So that's what I'm gonna do this morning.
Oh let's spritz myself.This is Erin Mediterranean Honeysuckle.It's a trowel size.Just finishing off my makeup here before I put this video live.I don't know why I thought let me do my makeup before putting a video live when no one's gonna see me.But, you know, look good, feel good.
I'm sorry, I don't care what anyone says.If I look good, I feel good.This is Bifro Cherry Berry, and what should we put on top?Maybe a little bit of this.This is a gorgeous gloss.This is Make Up For Ever Super Boost Gloss.
It really does make your lips look like 85 times the size.Anyway, in case you didn't know, putting my video live in T -minus 25 minutes.Took me a little minute to wake up today.I do feel nervous.I feel like I want to FaceTime each one of you individually.I wish that was possible, but hopefully not.
videos feel like a FaceTime sesh.Oh this is really nice.This is new from Tilbs actually.This is the Exaggerize Easy Eyeshadow Stick and I've kind of just used it as an eyeliner and I'm just buffing it out.Oh that is really nice.Oh I also have no earrings in.
I feel very naked.Oh by the way, before I do my mascara.Look at this set.Every time I wear this set, I get so much love.It's a little shorts and top.They actually have an orange as well, which I really want.
There's actually some gorgeous colours.There's like a green, really easy to throw on, and actually I wore it on the beach in Italy, like on a boat day, and it was perfect for that, and it's perfect for weather like this in London when it's like 35 degrees.I am wearing it with my slippers, these fuzzy slippers.I will link these down below because they are so comfortable.I love them.I also think you could wear this top with jeans as well, I think it would look really good.

At the top of the info box of all my vlogs, I write a little something, so I'm gonna write that now.I don't know what to say.I'm gonna - I'm gonna - Britain, surprise!We skipped a chapter.That's what I've started with so far.Right, we're going live, people.
We are - Who's ready?This is what I do.I set visibility to public, and then I press save, and now it's live.Now we wait.No, we don't.I'm going to post on Instagram and TikTok as well.
I have a really funny audio to post.I'm going to do that.I literally just pressed refresh and there's already 54 comments.
Wait, someone's commented that they're excited to see my dating rap.
It's coming.It's coming.Do you know what I need to do?I need to do that presentation that everyone does in their dating rap.Oh, that's so nice.Thank you.
Oh my gosh, I'm just going to sit here and write your comments all day.Oh, that's so nice.I'm a subscriber who's seen your videos from the start.That's so nice.Oh my God, everyone is remembering the dating rap.Why did I do my makeup before this?
I've had a few comments about the dating rap.The dating rap is coming.Okay, Coopie, we're gonna post on TikTok together.You ready?Are you ready?Okay, post.
Is it ready?It's on Instagram now, too.I know, I know, I'm so excited.Are you excited?We are also live on Instagram.Guys, I'm scared.
I think we need to go make a tea, actually.Don't you think?You wanna come down, baby?What a great day.What a great start to the day, huh, Coops?I feel so relieved.
I don't think if you've ever kept a secret from your best friend, but that's how this felt.I felt like I was keeping a secret from the people I'm closest to and honestly it didn't feel good.It's great to have it out.I'm actually thinking about it because even though I just put the posts live, you've probably seen everything I've posted this week.Unless you don't have Instagram or TikTok or check my YouTube shorts, actually, I just thought of that, but let me catch you up from the beginning.Cooper's gonna come, one sec.
Yeah, three, two, one, there he is.Okay, let's address the elephant in the room of why I kept my engagement private slash secret.I don't like secret because it wasn't a secret because I did tell people when I saw them and for me to do that it's quite hard.Ididn't I didn't want to go there but I feel like I do have to go there because it's part of my story and it makes the most sense to be able to share this full picture with you some of you may know some of you may not know that I was engaged in 2019 2018 2019 I think 2019 I think 2019 I got engaged end of 2018 went into 29 No, no, I don't know.I don't even want to go back on my pictures to check because that's the only way I'm gonna check.
Anyway, if anyone followed me at the time, y 'all know that I shouted about it from the rooftops.Like I, no one has ever talked about their engagement more than me in 2019, okay?And having to come online and say that that relationship ended and explain it and also go through in my head why that relationship or that engagement ended, plus have a lot of um comments on my personal life in public and in private was really really damaging and it took me a really really long time to get over sorry sorry um it took me a really long time to heal from that see i have a lot of ptsd around it um around that time in my life i did not want to sorry give me a minute i honestly felt like i shouted so much about my engagement that I could never shout about being engaged online again.I know a lot of girls who have like content creators I met online who've been engaged multiple times and every time go online and like guys I'm engaged and I just didn't feel like I could do that I didn't feel like I could do that and by the way anything I say in this video is just how I feel it's not me judging anyone elseor commenting on anyone else's life it's literally i'm just talking about my feelings and my experience anyway i didn't feel like making a fuss of myself as i did those years ago especially online and i didn't with my friends either i didn't have a bachelorette or a hen or anything like that but we'll get to that we'll get to that because I've got a lot of questions that you guys want the answers to.The other thing is that I live feed my life pretty much like when Duke died the three minutes after he passed away I was on Vlogging like my camera was out.
Okay.It's such a natural part of my life to have the camera out my grandma passes away I pull out my camera my engagement ends.I pull out my camera.I've live literally live fed the past 13 years of my life and Something changed in my brain chemistry when I met Nuri after my friend Nuri after she got married.I saw her at an event and I was like oh my god she got married!And she was like, girl, that was like six weeks ago.
Like I just got my pictures and I just posted them.And I was like, oh my gosh, you didn't live feed your wedding?Because everyone in our industry, most content creators will live feed their wedding.They will be at their wedding working, okay?Like they are working as soon as they wake up the next day, they're editing, they're going live.You think it's casual, it's not.
They're not, like I know what it is.It's not, you're not with your husband.Like there's no way you're with your husband.I've been at weddings where it is live fed online to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, whatever and you're just not with your husband and my priority at our wedding was being with my husband and my family that's like the one day I felt like I wanted to take off work and off online because i number one hoped hoped hoped hoped that you guys would understand if it's like a couple weeks later and two it takes a while to get your pictures anyway and stuff like that and three i wanted to wake up the morning after our wedding and be with my husband andbe with family and with friends and not worry about going online or having to like live feed anything another reason why I didn't share that I was engaged is because then people know you're getting married obviously because you're engaged and they kind of know when your wedding is like people figure out when your wedding is and then I Would feel like oh people i feel bad like i'm like okay people know i'm getting married now and like i need to be posting whereas this way i could really be present and just get drunk and sweaty and dance and like guys what i look like at the start of the wedding versus what i look like at the end like two different people and that's what i wanted i just wanted to really enjoy it and be in the moment and not be on my phone or wondering or having people ask me to like approve posts or i don't know because most people have someone post for them at their wedding i post all my own things as you guys see like i posted all my tiktoks and stuff today so the other thing going back to 2019 amelia is that i learned a lot in that time and one of the things that i learned was that i actually didn't enjoy the fanfare around having a wedding fanfare the right word the craziness I didn't enjoy being the center of attention actually which is weird because actually makes sense it did make sense because I don't love my birthday I don't love being the center of attention on my birthday and this is this is much much bigger than that and I didn't really enjoy planning the wedding that I thought I wanted which was like a whole week -long south of France Cap d 'Antibes situation like that was actually not for me but I know a lot of people that have been engaged and have their dream wedding and plan it and then get engaged that engagement breaks down they get engaged again and still want that exact same dream scenario that they had in the beginning.What I thought I wanted, like that dream, really, really drastically changed.
And a lot of people said to me at the time, you know, when you're engaged to the right person, it will feel really different, and you'll want the biggestand you'll want the fanfare and i just i knew i knew that entire time i wouldn't want to be engaged for a year i wouldn't want to have an engagement party and then a pre -engagement running a bachelorette a bridal shower and all the things i just I knew I wouldn't want it, and when it happened, when we did get engaged, I felt exactly as I thought for all these years that I would feel, which is, I just want to be with my husband, and I want to get married to him, and that's my priority.My priority is our marriage, not a wedding.So saying that, we weren't engaged for very long either, so that makes me feel better.I was not keeping it from you for that long.So, sorry about my tears.
It's sad.It's hard to talk about things sometimes.I really try to avoid talking about that but for you to understand why I wanted to keep our engagement period and the wedding not live feed the wedding and stuff.I feel like I needed to touch on the past.

Get started freePart two.Let's talk about how I met my husband.
How I met my husband.It still feels weird to say husband, actually.It feels really weird.It's not natural.It's not natural yet.I need to casually slip it in there like, oh yeah, my husband is, yeah.
How I met my husband is not the most interesting story, I'm gonna be honest with you.It was at a girl's dinner in New York.and four of my girlfriends are married and it was me and another single girl so our married girlfriends and you'll know this maybe i'll be this person now is they're always like what's going on with your love life tell us this tell us that what about this guy what about that guy like one of my married friends is literally pointing at different men oh you're not in focus there we go pointing at different men in the restaurant going he's cute what about this guy what about that guy what about that guy bear in mind we know none of these guys like these are all random men at gibriani okay like i'm literally there like stop pointing at random men this is so mortifyingAnyway, she pointed at a really cute man.She was like, what about this guy?That was not my husband, by the way, that's not how I met my husband.
But I was like, no, no, no, he's not my type.I kind of am into, and it was something, I said something that I was into.It's a certain physical, let's say, attribute.And she was like, oh my gosh, if that's what you like, you should meet my friend.It wasn't like I'm gonna set you up with this guy like I think you'd work really well together It was literally like I said something looks wise that I liked and she was like you should meet this guy That was literally it was not like this man is your husband like you're gonna marry like no no no Anyway, he reached out to me and sent me and like a message.It was a voice note actually i was like should we grab coffee and look okay if you are a seasoned dater you will know that coffee is just not it's not very it's not a sexy date is it it's not a sexy date but on the other side i was like well say hi and bye vibes like whatever on a first date the only thing i'm actually looking at or looking for is if i want to go on a second date Honestly, that's the only thing you're really looking at.
I don't look at anything else past that.Because what are you really going to find out on the first date?I don't know.So I was like, yeah, coffee's good.Anyway, later that day, we were chatting on message.And later that day, he was like, actually, should we go for dinner?
whatever we end up going for dinner and uh that was it really from there i don't believe in this concept of you immediately know for me personally i don't want to speak on behalf of anyone else or their feelings when they met their partner but like dating in your 30s is so different to dating in your 20s in your 20s i definitely had that feeling of no oh my gosh i know i know but actually the only thing i know on a first date is if i want to go on a second date like the only thing i know is like i like you i didn't like you i was attracted to you i wasn'tattracted to you dating is like a series of like seeing how someone shows up for you like or around you seeing what they're like seeing if like you're compatible if you want to spend more time together like i don't really believe in this concept of oh my gosh i just knew for me i was like i felt that feeling before and actually it's just chemistry but i wanted so much more than just chemistry you know what i mean like obviously that's That's the bare minimum is the chemistry, everything else.There's a lot more that comes under that.So, loads of people are asking me about mum and Rachel when she met my husband.Oh, I still have earrings on.I need to put some earrings on, don't I?
I'll put them on in a minute.Anyway, mum Rachel, when she met my husband, I actually didn't put any, like, restraints on her, honestly, because I know she can be a bit unhinged sometimes.Gosh, do I tell her, like, cool it?You know what I'm saying?Like, cool it.Play it cool.
And I didn't in the end.And in the end, she did not play it cool.No, she told him it's her birthday, and it's a big birthday, and for her birthday present, she would love a wedding.She would love us to get married for her birthday.That was hilarious, honestly it was so funny.He was such a good sport about it.
So I'm going through the YouTube comments currently and they are all so lovely.I just want to say thank you for your lovely, lovely comments.congratulations and support and okay so I've answered how we met another question am I moving countries or homes no I'm not moving countries London is my home my forever home I do have a US visa and at one point the US was on the table but the current plan is London London is my home and are we moving homes maybe pretty sooncurrently no plans.No solid plan, but we have been looking for a little bit.I guess I want to answer everything in order now, so I guess the next question in order would be about our relationship.
Shall we go put on some earrings while we talk about this?What do you think?What do you think, Mr. Coops?Guys, try again.I'm just reading these comments and I think so many people commenting like they're silent followers but this is like the first time they've ever commented on a YouTube video and stuff and it just means so much to me I feel like and it sounds really weird because I'm married but like I feel like it's more real now that I've told you.The next question is when did we know we were like going to get married or I think I think the exact wording was right for each other.
When did you both know you were the one for each other?I think a couple weeks in I had a really good feeling that this was different I'm supposed to be putting on my earrings.Let me get them.A couple weeks in, I had a really good feeling that this was different, but I didn't want to, honestly, I didn't want to get my hopes up, and I didn't want to, like, get carried away.I wanted to stay realistic in a way, but I would say I predominantly had, like, a really good feeling, and he invited me on a trip a couple weeks after we had met, like, originally met, and I was like, oh, I don't know, like, I had never really traveled with someone that wasn't, like, officially my partner.partner or like boyfriend and like I know that sounds really weird because I'm in my 30s and stuff I should I should probably have like gone on loads of trips and loads of men but like all the men I went away with were my boyfriends and I was kind of torn about it and originally I said no a couple days later I was like should I just go like should I just go like I'm just gonna go I'm just gonna go like whatever I think after that trip that we took and generally us being together in like the first few months it just always felt really like easy and almost like normal
I'm gonna use the word normal a lot I feel which I think it's gonna maybe like people are not gonna find that really weird but that's that's how I just personally wanted to feel in my relationship maybe natural is a better word to normal honestly but yeah natural normal it was the feelings that I had wanted my relationship to feel so to answer your question I think was more a gradual for me it was more like a gradual knowing of how I felt felt like a gradual like confirmation of how I felt then a sudden like aha moment I felt peace with him like I felt really peaceful in myself and I wanted my relationship to bring out the best in me and for me to bring out the best in the other person I have been in relationships where I don't like who I am honestly like I do think some people and I'm sure I've done this to other people as well where you bring out like the worst in each other and I didn't want my relationship to feel like that and I really wanted someone that I could just enjoy doing nothing with like ordinary life like not just like trips and travels and up and like crazy moments because it's amazing as life is like and life can be so amazing it's the like more mundane like harder or like day -to -day moments that really make your relationship so I wanted to be in a relationship that enjoyed Ordinary life where we can enjoy like day -to -day together.Those are just like a few things That were kind of on my I guess you could call it list of something that I wanted my relationship To be and feel that I felt like it was okay My camera battery is flashing at me have no fear because I knew this would be a long -ass vlog So I charged six batteries.Okay, the next question that I've got a lot of is to talk about our Engagement how we got engaged brace yourself brace yourself my lovers as i've kind of touched on i didn't want a big fanfare situationand you know you can't really plan your engagement when you're not the one getting down on one knee you know what i'm saying so anyway i kind of hoped that my husband knew me well enough and knew the kind of way that i would like to be asked which was with minimal fuss minimal people around not on like some fancy trip situation no music no i don't know i i Sorry to say the word normal, I'm so sorry, but I wanted to feel normal.So it was very, very romantic and super, super, super meaningful.He actually did a like little speech thing, got down on one knee and like opened the ring box and I looked at me and I was like, you gotta, it ain't that.
It was really cute and really, really, really special and it just meant so much to me that it was like the dream way that I wanted to be.Proposed to I honestly like couldn't have planned it better myself.I don't even want to have makeup on Did we have dinner with my family the next day or a couple days later?I think we did we did we did my mom had a dinner for us My mom had a gorgeous dinner for us, and she got us a little cake and stuff.It was really cute It was just like my parents aunt uncle Mama Rachel, of course.Mama Rachel said she didn't sleep.
She didn't sleep the whole night.
She's like, I was so excited.
Okay, next question.Okay, the dress.The dress, which maybe you have seen by now on my other platforms or on YouTube Shorts.If you haven't, I will put in some pictures here.So I did not go wedding dress shopping.I didn't want to go wedding dress shopping, honestly.
i kind of felt like i've seen everything like i've seen everything online i know what suits me i don't know i feel like with instagram and tiktok and pinterest you can kind of see everything honestly even bespoke things and different pieces i kind of knew exactly what i wanted because i for oneand stuff like go to a lot of events and get dressed up I know what shape suit me and I know like I kind of knew what I wanted and I was like okay so I went to Sabina Bilenko who is my favorite dress designer I always wear her dresses and I wear a lot of her dresses literally she could design something like with her eyes closed and I would love it and wear it I took a dress and that I wore to my sister's wedding and I put it into AI and I said can you make it white can you change this do that out of veil and AI did it for me and I sent it to Sabina and I was like can we do this and she was like yeah and I didn't see my dress till a week before till literally a few days before my wedding I didn't even see it I didn't even know if it was gonna be like what I wanted or the what i had in my head or what was in the ai thing i was just kind of like yeah well this this can't work this can't work i was a very type b bride a lot of people will attest that i was a very type b bride i was i was just kind of relaxed i was like how How bad can this go?You know what I'm saying?Worst case, we need to change my dress.Worst case, I go to, I don't know, Selfridges, Harrods, and buy something.I don't know.
I was just trusting the process, I guess.Anyway, this was my first fitting a few days before the wedding that I will put in now.Okay, no one's gonna believe me, and everyone's gonna think I've tied beads way too close to the sun, which is true.Which is probably true.I'm waiting for everyone to tell me I'm gonna have a panic because I've been like so chilled.So I'm going to see my wedding dress today for the first time.

Get started freeI didn't try on any dresses, I just kind of knew what I wanted and I went straight to the design process and I haven't actually seen my wedding dress and it is a week, just one week and one day until we get married so it's a little bit risky, it's a little bit risky and my type B relaxed self is like it'll be fine, it'll be fine and I actually think it will be fine.I havecan it be?I mean, those could be my famous last words.I could regret that, but I don't think I will.I'm kind of looking forward to it and I think it will be, I think it'll be good.
I hope it'll be good.I'm going to go see the dress now for the first time.I think we do have time to make any alterations.That reminds me, I need to bring my shoes.Oh, are you here?The dress.
My shoes are 95, but I don't know how high these are.
They look amazing.
You look like a princess.
You do, you literally look like a princess.Wow.
I'm wondering if we take out a layer, Pia, what do you think?And this is picking up my dress.
Final fitting?Yeah.Oh my gosh.What do you think?I think the length looks amazing.
We brought this up, didn't we?Yes.It looks so much better now.
It's gonna look absolutely, I mean it does, it looks absolutely beautiful.Yes.Look how long the veil is, it's so cool.I love it.
Okay, wedding planning.Wedding planning.Let's talk about wedding planning.Shall we get some food while we talk about wedding planning?
Perhaps.
What do we think I should eat?I've got a little miso trout box I'm gonna have.
I am so obsessed with you.You are the best doggie in the whole world.I love you the most.
only because jukes died okay then i'd love you second most so a little morbid okay planning the wedding let me tell you one thing i was not the kind of girl that was getting those pinterest boards mood boards themes and schemes and all the things i knew what i wanted like i wanted a big fat party and i guess we'll talk about that laterin like the wedding section than the planning section because I'm trying to keep this in some sort of order.It's gonna be hard but I'm trying so far.Anyway I roped in some professionales and those professionals being my parents because they love to number one, plan things, number two, throw things, and number three, plan and throw things.But you know what I loved about the planning process?The food tasting.
Oh my gosh, food tastings are great.get to taste all the food obviously the clues in the name but you get to like taste so many different things and it's like going to a restaurant but better because you have so many different categories and you have like little bits of each one and then it's like you can pretend you're a food reviewer and like review them and be like don't like that do like that blah blah whatever and also we got a bit drunk our food tasting because we're drinking alcohol like tasting alcohol and drinks and stuff at the same time so I had a A great day.That was a great day.I don't know if I'm gonna regret this, you know, but...I didn't have a bachelorette or a hen party as they're called.We'll see if I want to do one like later and maybe I'll do one.
I probably won't.I won't be bothered to do one later.I'll tell you what we did do a few nights before we got married.I think it was a few nights before.Well, I wanted to go to the cinema and just like have a chilled evening.And that kind of ended up being, I can see you've got like a kind of impromptu bachelorette situ because I invited my cousins, my grandma, my mom, my aunt, my sister.
This is my version of bachelorette like my whole family because everyone wanted to see this film.and then i invited a few friends i just like sent a few friends messages saying like i'm gonna go see this film if you want to come so a couple of my friends hadn't seen the film yet wanted to come a couple of them had seen it didn't want to come and i didn't want to make it into a thing of like this is this is my bachelorette because it wasn't my bachelorette let it be on the record i wanted to do a trip i wanted to do a thing i wanted to create a huge productionbut the type B bride Let's go to cinema We can just eat snacks and hang out and everyone can come in their tracksuits and like go home whenever they want So that's what we're doing tonight my bachelorette consists mostly of my family.It's my cousin my mom my grandma buddy's coming Audrey's coming and My sister, did I say my sister?Lauren's coming!Also, by the way, I didn't want to ask anyone to, like, fly in.

Should we call him Mr. Leanna?No, that's so cringe.Let's not call him that.Honestly, I did this, you know, because I've only shared that I've got married for all of like five hours so far.I don't know, you know.Never say never, honestly.
It's a bit soon for me to answer that question right now when I haven't really fully decided.
Hello from the future.
That sounds so creepy, I'm so sorry.Basically, I responded to your comments on Sunday and it is now Friday and there are a few things maybe that have come up this week that I feel like I should answer as well.So I'm going to reinsert myself back into the vlog from the future and sticking on to this topic of if i'm gonna share my husband now let me tell you something tiktok this week was like can you at least show us an arm girl like show us an arm anyway i did show y 'all an arm and I'm still not sure on the whole showing my husband thing to be honest like this is all very new I've had a husband online for about a week so give me a minute to acclimatize.Let me tell you something I never trust my gut instinct okay like I'm very bad at connecting with my gut instinct but a couple of years ago I did trust my gut and my gut was telling me listen online is a place for the girly popsand the girly pop thangs.I only started sharing my female family like my mum mum Rachel my sister and sorry to my male cousins like neglected from the vlogs and like lucy and my aunt and stuff and i also really post about like girly things like this has never been and will never be i don't think like a relation i mean never say never but i don't think it will be a relationship account i've had my social media for like 13 years and it has always been like my channels not like relationship channels and my husband lets me shine people have also asked me to comment on my feelings for my husband which i feel like comes from a really overprotective place which i love i think you guys are so cute like you're so protective of me and i love it i love that you know what though like is it cringe to come online and gush about your husband like genuinely tell me he's a friend like i think it's cringe like kind of like i kind of get the it but social media for me is like not a place to come online like gush about my husband like for me the gushing about my husband and like how much i love and adore him you know when you just want to oh you just want to soak them up and all that anyway here i am gushing about my husband when i said i wouldn't the point i was trying to make very badly was that when i'm gonna gush about my husband i feel like that's for his ears and his ears only you know what i'm saying guys girls also if i'm gonna advise you like as a sis sis to sis evil eyes is real look at my suitcase so beautiful there we go oh i got engraved photo frames made and I got one for mum and Rachel, one for my parents, I need to give that to them.

Get started freeThey're silver photo frames engraved with our wedding and I put the picture, pictures in obviously.So let's talk about our actual wedding.Now to anyone Middle Eastern when you say you want a small wedding they firstly look at you with 10 heads because like what are you talking about and secondly small in like middle eastern terms like where i'm from like a persian iraqi family small is like oh you want a small wedding sure 400 people's fine like no onethat I know culturally has eloped or done an intimate wedding or a civil, wedding -only, courthouse vibe.No one that I grew up with, actually, as well.So just for the backstory of where we are at culturally.
So ideally, we wanted, and I'm saying this laughing because It was a little bit unrealistic, honestly, but we wanted an intimate wedding, as intimate as possible.Intimate Middle Eastern standards is a different story.Intimate Middle Eastern standards, like, my family's 100 people, so...You know what I'm saying?Anyway, so instead of kind of counting numbers, we tried to look at the vibe first, and something really formal like a sit -down three -course dinner didn't really feel like us, so I kind of wanted to try and think outside the box as much as I possibly could in terms of the format.Also, in Middle Eastern families like mine you normally have a few separate events one of them being the henna party I know a lot of different Middle Eastern cultures do a henna party for example like my brother -in -law's Moroccan so when they did my sister's and his henna party it was kind of different because they brought in like a lot of Moroccan traditions of having a henna party whereas like for my aunt and uncle they did like a predominantly Iraqi henna party so everyone kind of has their different takes on it okay I've ran out of space for these shawls so we kind of knew our intimate wedding was not going to be that intimate just based on the number of people of we have just family so we kind of thought how can we make it as intimate as possible and i really wanted to have a very very very intimate ceremony for our wedding wedding we wanted a really really big party i didn't want to do a sit down that was like i'm stuck
a main course dessert you're stuck to the two people next to you I wanted to be able people to be able to come roam around freely leave freely like party do whatever they want and just come and have like a really great time and be kind of almost on their own schedule, if that makes sense.We had an area that was buffet food that was served all night and it was every different kind of food, like no one, no one was hungry.We had Persian food, we had sushi, like we literally had like catering to every different kind.I think we had like five different categories of food.And so instead of having a separate henna party night, I wanted everything to feel like one special day.I honestly felt weird asking people to celebrate us multiple times.
I know that sounds really strange and I know everyone does it like most people do it but for some reason that was just what was calling to me to do everything on one night and then I also felt like it was kind of special it was like a party but we had the henna section like in the party so we did go and change for anyone wondering if I did not but change I changed into my henna gown I'll put in a picture it was so beautiful and I had it designed in Paris.Oh, this is the other thing.We actually got married during Alfonso Mango season, obviously.So we had for dessert, we had loads of different desserts and like a whole sort of like buffet of different desserts.But we also had an Alfonso Mango station.The infamous Alfonso Mangos.
Not an Amelia wedding without the Alfonso Mangos.
Which was unbelievable.We had, I think it was 400 mangoes like shipped in and then all of a sudden all these articles start coming out online about the Alfonso mango crisis and why there are no Alfonso mangoes this year in the UK.and everyone me being like it's because all the Alfonso mangoes were at your wedding which is absolutely hysterical and I didn't eat a single thing all night I literally didn't eat a thing actually one of my husband's really kind friends came and bought me some sushi and I had like three rolls of sushi you just you it's true you don't have time to eat I don't know where the time goes but I I went to the Alfonso mango stand and I was like I am not missing this like no wedding has ever seen an Alfonso mango stand well I don't know if you had an Alfonso mango stand at your wedding we are twins but we had chefs there like making all the food and stuff And we had specific chefs just to cut and serve the Alfonso mangoes.If you know, you know.We are all obsessed, okay?My most favorite thing about our wedding was looking around and seeing everyone smiling at you.
Like, how rare is it in your life to look around a room of people you love and see them smiling at you.Like you might be in a room with people you love often, I hope you are, but I was literally looking around and I was like, everyone's smiling at me all the time, the whole day, the whole night, everyone's just smiling at you, like beaming at you, giving you their positive energy.And I was looking around dancing and all the girls were like lifting up my skirt, I'll put in a picture, and everyone's smiling, everyone's literally just smiling at you all the time.And there were multiple times where during a speech I was like looking into the crowd and everyone was just smiling or when we were actually getting married everyone was smiling.Mama Rachel stayed till 1 .30 in the morning.1 .30 in the morning I actually borrowed someone's phone to take a selfie of us and I have a selfie with the timestamp because I wanted the timestamp on the iPhone picture you know like I wanted it to say the time that I took the picture.
1 .30 in the morning she was still there.My sister Hannah was our emcee she did the most phenomenal job.She asked me to be the MC of her wedding and I asked her to be the MC of our wedding.She introduced all the speeches, she like hyped up the crowd, she's like such a natural.I wish I would have done like half as good of a job as she did for us.Oh that reminds me, I'm sure you've actually seen now on my Instagram and Shorts and TikTok and stuff what my sister and my mum wore.
They both looked unbelievable.believable by the way like genuinely so stunning my sister actually designed her own dress and i think my mom's dress was jenny packham apart from the obvious like how much fun we had this stuff one of my other favorite things looking back at the pictures now i'm like oh my gosh i look terrible honestly i look terrible Terrible and I wouldn't have it any other way this sounds so weird as someone whose whole online is like curating like perfect like images and Instagram and getting the shot and stuff I look so bad.My hair is a mess.I'm sweaty.My makeup is everywhere I was like dancing like I have never danced in my life and like that just looking at those pictures I'm like, oh, I'm so happy that I look bad but I'm so happy that I was having such a great time that I didn't care what I looked like like I didn't care what my hair was like or that it was like you know when you sweat on your hair and it gets like stringy or I didn't care what my makeup looked like.Did I do an outfit change?
No I did not.No I did not because Number one, I couldn't find a dress that I liked enough to change into.Number two, I couldn't be bothered to change.Like, I don't know, you have such a short amount of time with everyone and I knew if I had to go up and change and come back down, that's like at least half an hour.Like, I don't know, I didn't want to miss half an hour.And I love my dress, so I didn't do an outfit change.
Although I did go to Harrods a few days before with Audrey to try and find something just in case I wanted it but I couldn't even find anything.Okay, I have a few more questions.come in that I wanted to put together to answer so while I pack my airport bag we can continue with the questions the next thing I saidpeople ask a lot was that I think people thought I would get married abroad.I got married in London.I wanted to have a really normal, here we go again, normal account wedding day.
I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else that felt more like us and more like home than London.Our relationship like started here, it bloomed here, it, I don't know, it just felt very representative of us.I have so many random things of makeup in my makeup bag.I have one, two, three, four, five lip products.I need to narrow that down.Also, the morning of our wedding, I have to tell you what I did.
I wanted it to feel like, here, guess what word I'm gonna say, normal.I wanted it to feel like a nice, normal day.And I went for a walk in Hyde Park.And actually when I was walking in the park, because by the way, you know me, you know I walk in the park every single day, like dog or no dog, I am in that park.And I actually saw one of my parents' friends in the park that was coming to our wedding later that day.And he literally stopped in his tracks and looked at me and was like, am I coming to your, and I was like, yay, see you later.
And then I saw him like four hours later in my dress.hilarious.He literally looked at me like so baffled that I was just like going for a casual like morning stroll the day I was getting married.I actually also, to make matters worse, was holding my dry cleaning because I walked past my dry cleaners and I went to pick it up.No, okay.I was like, oh my dry cleaner's here, might as well pick up my dry cleaning while we're here.
So yeah, it was very, very special to get married in my hometown.I've just checked in to my room at the Dorchester.I'm waiting for my sister to come and then my mum's gonna come and Audrey and I just buried a sausage in the park.I filmed it, you'll see it on YouTube shorts I think.and it was so grey, you'll see in that video, and all of a sudden it's sunny.Can you see how sunny it is?
Like, I actually can't believe this.You bury a sausage, I saw this on TikTok, you bury a sausage for good weather, or better weather.Literally as soon as we buried the sausage it got sunny and it wasn't supposed to get sunny today, but anyway, I literally just got to my hotel room.It feels really weird being here alone, like, I'm so used to being in hotel rooms alone, it's not that I'm not used to being in hotel rooms alone it just feels weird because this room is like ready for vibes and i'm just here alone thinking oh my gosh this time tomorrow i'm gonna be married like oh okay let me show you this room each room at the georgetown has different colors i learned this recently so some are blue and some are i think pink And then some are yellow.I love the yellow one because I thought it was just bright and really nice.And all my girls are going to come here tonight and have dinner with me, like order room service.
I didn't invite anyone that would have to travel to be here like a night earlier, basically.Like my friends who don't live nearby, if it would take them longer than 10 minutes to come, then I wouldn't.Like I didn't want them.Ugh, that sounds really bad that I didn't want them to come.But I didn't want anyone to like make a special journey.Just like passing by vibes.
Anyway.I just realized that entire time my fly was down.Let me put these slippers on.This looks so cute.Oh my gosh, I love my slippers.Thank you so much.

Yeah, the carpet is so cute even.
Anyway, as I was saying, the girls that are coming over tonight are people that I've invited to come over, people that, like, take less than 10 minutes to get here.I didn't want anyone to, like, travel to London, to be here earlier than the wedding or whatever, so that was what I was trying to explain.I don't want to, like, make anyone, like, I don't know, travel too far for me. I'm filming you, okay?Such a good t -shirt, I love it.Extra large, I love medium.
I have small.
I forgot to get pajamas.Vibes all round.Oh my gosh.

Look, by the way, if I stop on a step, he also stops on a step.He like won't go if I'm not going.Okay, let's go then.Come on.If I stop, he will stop mid -step like this.I'm going to reply to a few more comments now.
Come baby.We just got picked up.I've seen a couple of comments asking who was there.So that's what I'm going to talk about now.Basically my day has been checking your comments and replying to you in this video.So of course I saw comments saying, who do we follow?
that was there.Guys, I've been outside for 10 seconds and I'm already sweating, that's how hot London right now.So the other influencers that you guys have seen in my videos, that you know I love, that came.Este was there, of course.Victoria came, Alex came, Susie came, Sharon came all the way from New York, which is so, so nice of her.And of course, Audrey was there.
Actually, speaking of photographers as well, Alex asked if he could take some pictures, some like candid pictures.He took favorite wedding pictures, like our favorite action wedding pictures, airdropped them all to me the next morning.They are, I genuinely cried when I saw these pictures, Alex captured such beautiful moments, he knew like exactly where to stand, he literally shot them as a friend, like he just asked that can I take some pictures and I was likesure.So I had no idea what he was even going to airdrop me.We had breakfast with Victoria and Alex, Susie, Ryan and Delilah.

Get started freeAnd that was such a special moment for me because I had fifth wheeled Susie and Ryan and Victoria and Alex for so many years so many years and was like the circle is now complete and it was so cute to have Delilah there as well like seeing Delilah the next morning I feel so connected to her and I love her so much and it's really special to watch the people you love like their child grow as well I'm actually gonna like cry talking about it like waking up and seeing Delilah was just so special I'm like Susie's gonna be like what about me like I love you too I love Delilah more.My camera battery is flashing at me again.I've gone through two camera batteries, but don't worry, we got four more to go.I actually need to pack in my suitcase this set that I'm wearing because I want to bring it.Are we thinking this is going to be a bit hot for the plane?That's a good question.
But I don't think so.I'm always cold on planes, aren't you?Got to pack a pair of shorts in my hand luggage.Look how cute this top is.It's from Dish.I absolutely love it.
Love this top.I do have little shorts underneath but it actually does it better with jeans because it's just a little bit long on me. I love this top.I think it's gorgeous.It also comes in black.Although I did post wearing it in Paris and like I got some pregnancy comments because it's such a floaty top.So keep that in mind.
mind but I do think it works nicely for the floaty flowy vibes.You know I was kind of worried about if I had made the right decision in waiting to post and stuff and now that I've literally been on my phone on my laptop all day it's literally now almost 6 p .m.and the only thing I've done today is post things reply to comments and vlog and like eat and Walt Cooper like I knew that's what I would be like and I'm so happy that I did this so that I could be online and reply to you guys and like I literally feel like I've replied to like almost every single comment I've read every single congratulations message or like DM like some people have sent me DMs with them like crying and stuff like it's so sweet and I just really didn't want to miss that moment of Connection with you even though that meant like not live posting my wedding I'm just so happy that I was able to get that moment with you because I wouldn't have been able to do it if I was like live posting my wedding like I wouldn't have been able to be there or be with my family or be with my husband and Seeing your comments and replying to comments and I would have wanted to do both and it would have been really hard Actually, and then I would have been upset that I didn't do either properly like I didn't sit down and reply to comments and I wasn't like with my family or my husband like properly so I'm so grateful that you guys allowed me to do that because I've had the best day looking at what everyone's saying and congratulations messages and like getting really emotional honestly like telling you guys.Okay so the next comment I saw that we need to discuss let me get it up here is about dating.I hope I'm answering all your questions like At enough length, but this comment was about dating our dating period like me and my husband's dating period and you know what dating in your 30s is so so different to dating in your 20s like it's Dating your 20s is much more slower and what was for me anyway like much slower and like less intentional It was literally like you'd see someone and be like, oh you're cute like you're hot That'd be it, you know
But maybe in your 30s it's kind of different because you've dated a lot more and you've had a lot more experience, you can actually spot things quicker, you can spot incompatibilities quicker, and I know what I like and I've had much more experience in dating, whereas I feel like in my 20s it took me a long, long time to realise when someone wasn't right for me.The one thing I will say is timing is key.everything I feel like there's so much pressure in society on single women especially single women in their 30s and I really had to learn to like drown that out as best I could which honestly I still wasn't very good at I'm lucky I have so many friends like married friends or like even my aunts and stuff that would tell me like really soak in this time because this could be the last time you're single I'm really happy I had that advice because I did like you guys saw me like I really enjoyed my single time the freedom to sit about to do whatever you want sit at home Like, not that you can't do any of those things when you're married, but it's different, you know?And that period is something I will never regret, because I had the best time.So if you're single, like, enjoy that shit, because you never get that time back.I feel like I wasted so much time every time a relationship ended, being sad about that relationship ending, rather than being happy that, like, I was single and I could do whatever.
This has never happened to me before.I've had camera batteries die, but I've never had it tell me that my crush is single.um camera card the memory card is too hot crazy anyway the card got too hot because we've been doing a lot today i wonder how long this vlog's gonna be as i was saying that is the mentality that i had like this could be your last single summer this could be your last single weekend this could be your last single year and i feel like that helps like change the perspective a little bit my point was that dating in your 30s goes a lot quicker Just because I feel like of the timing of your life.It's a fun.It's funny actually you just I guess you think about more You're more aware of things.I'm more aware of things for example my husband now
I think it was weeks into us dating, he came to one of my friend's weddings and my family was there, my sister was there, her husband was there, my parents were there, and normally I would wait like six months or something to introduce someone to my family.maybe even longer but this just kind of happened how it happened so like they all met at a wedding and that's what I mean by dating in your 30s it's kind of like those things that would just take me a while to do in my 20s like introduce someone to my family you almost think less in a weird way like you I think more but I think less like I'm thinking more about what I'm seeing but I'm thinking less as in analyzing my decision like if is this the right decision like is it the right decision to introduce into my family should I introduce them later should I introduce them before I don't know if that's gonna make sense to anyone but that's how it feels.I need to take off my makeup.I am going to the airport soon.I hope that I have addressed everything that I was meaning to address in this video and share everything that I wanted to share and answer all your questions but in case I haven't maybe I'll add in a couple more things that I wanted to say.I just posted my get ready with me and if you haven't gone to stalk me on Instagram or TikTok this week yet go and do it or even my YouTube shorts as well because I have so much by posting on there this week.
My dress, like transitions, cute videos, like get ready with me.Oh my gosh, I have so much stuff.Oh, I have like a great before the aisle video as well that's gorgeous, gorgeous, that I can't wait to share.And actually, preemptively, I just wanna say thank you for the love on my videos because you guys, I don't know what I did to deserve you.Even just today's posts, which I've only posted three things, they have seven million views.Seven million views.
kind of scary actually when you think about it I'm like oh my gosh I really underestimated like how much people would want to see thisand I'm like okay I hope I'm not going to disappoint.I don't know why I did a whole face of makeup today like I don't know it's just this habit sometimes.I'm gonna use my Noble Panacea peptide 8 night serum.Oh actually before that I'm going to use my hydrating essence.So good.
There are a couple things I feel like already now take off my makeup I'm missing.
Anyway, I have no idea how long this vlog is.
It's probably three hours long like I told you it would be last week.I hope you enjoyed it.I don't know, I might have to do a part three.Honestly, I might have to do a part three.We'll have to see.We'll have to see how it goes.
I love you guys so much and I'm so grateful for your love and congratulations and love.outpouring of love that we received this week I cannot wait to continue on this new journey together don't expect me to be a different person though I actually saw a comment and it was like that's when it's good when it's like Amelia hasn't changed so we didn't realize I like that comment a lot anyway I will see you next Sunday 9 30 a .m.with another vlog
