our caterer actually said sense we have a small guest count its more expensive to do buffet
Money dance in my Hispanic culture is such a yes!! It is looked forward to and in some cases is the perfect highlight of the event. Our family recently had a destination wedding come to us from another state and the money dance gave everyone the opportunity to spend little bit of time congratulating and meeting the bride and groom on a personal level and as gifts were not required due to the distance the money dance was so fun and gave the bride and groom a good load of cash to fly home with. Our family has always looked forward to the money dance at every wedding as it really helps everyone connect as new family.

You could also write a letter for the morning of the wedding, so you get the vows out you want to say
Alternative to the money dance- my friend and his wife had two honeymoon fund jars labeled bride and groom. At the end of the wedding, whoever had the most in their jar got cake smashed in their face. It was a lot of fun. It also cut out the cake smashing when cutting the cake so there weren't any face cleaning moments in the middle of the wedding and it encouraged people to stay until the end to see it.
Please please please bring back the live q&a's!!!!!! Those were my fav!!!!!
My in laws to be are not that supportive specially financially. But they do not mingle in our decisions. Sure sometimes I feel like disappointed specially ij our culture the groom's family should shoulder most of the expenses but atleast I did not have any problem with them other than that.
You quoting Eminem just made my day 😂
Do you have any thoughts on potluck wedding meals? My fiance and I are paying for most of the wedding ourself, keeping it around 50-80 guests, backyard wedding.
Can you do a video on winter wedding tips. My original date was for summer and due to having to move the date several times in now in winter (and I absolutely hate the winter and being cold and wet) so honestly I’m devastated it has to be winter but just wanting to try think more positive
I heard ppl lie to their photographers and videographers saying its just a party to avoid the "wedding tag" I also heard a lot of the photographers and videographers are pissed if they get fooled and arrive to a wedding rather than an ordinary party/birthday celebration. Wedding tags aren't always fraud a price hike. The lenses and lighting used for weddings are quite different. And so is the skill as explained in the video. You can lie to your caterers, Dress shop, bakery for the cake and florists to avoid the wedding tag, sure. Cause those things are the same, just different price acc to the variety of food, elaborate or simple dress and the arrangements of flowers you pick.
can you do a video on incorporating two different languages?
Money dance cheap, cheap cheap
can i make a comment on the money dance…also be aware that most people dont carry cash on them at all anymore
Love your top!
Thank you for creating such a positive space for brides to come and get great advice! I am planning a wedding and I am having a hard time with my parents (specifically my mother). I would love to know if this is a common thing between most brides and moms and how others are handling/coping with this dynamic. Fortunately/Unfortunately my MIL has not wanted to participate at all and is letting us plan whatever we want! But my mother has been making every step so difficult in this planning process.
I tried to hire a cake baker for my wedding and she would take up to 2 weeks to respond to me and I bought sample cupcakes from her and when I showed up on our agreed time to grab them they were closed and then she took a week to respond to me, including emailing an calling her.
I gave her a second chance because I know this past year was crazy but then for our zoom call after I finally got my cupcakes I was sick with covid and still managed to get out of bed and set up ready for the call and she “forgot” because her family plans changed last minute and I sat there for 2 hours waiting for a response including emailing and calling her. And then it took a week for her to respond and apologize for missing our call and by then I was over it. I can only give so many second chances
5:15 Nailed it! 🤣🤣🤣 That was amazing 👏
MONDAYS ARE THE BOMBBBBB
Your timing is always absolutely perfect. I need to talk to my in-laws about the Bar bill which they told me months ago they’d cover and I haven’t heard a word since…
Love the Eminem reference…. I see you…..
"Grace, grace, grace…pour grace all over the situation" –Jamie spitting the truth for this and soooo many other situations! 🥰
When I realized Jamie is answering one of my questions I yelled like crazy and scared to half death my future husband
My fiancé was at first reluctant to writing his own vows. So we sat down and wrote the template together, and wrote three vows that we will both be saying. This helped ease his anxieties, and he wrote his out the very next day.
I got a notification for this DURING a money-drama-with-the-inlaws conversation with my fiance. It was eerie
Great advice as always, some parts are slightly different here in the UK but it's so easy to research
Love watching Monday Q&A, and Thursday Unpopular Opinions
Money dance is common for filipino weddings
Could you put time stamps in the video? I see them in the description but they will show up on the video bar by starting the time stamps with 00:00
I have this same top. H&M? 👌
Re: Photo. I would ask if they've ever been a second shooter at a wedding . Are they perusing weddings or do you just like their stuff? Also, what do they normally do and what style do you want for your wedding? Want mostly candid, a street photographer might be a better option for a tight budget than someone new to photography/editing overall that's done 3-4 weddings.
Yes on the MC suggestion! We have a DJ but for the speeches, we asked my brother (a stand-up comedian and Mc) to open with a few minutes of comedy and then lead into speeches.
Your suggestion to have a “middle person” to review vows is so helpful. Thank you for such a thoughtful, caring answer to that question. I appreciate you so much!!
Literally both the first and the second question my fiancé and I have been wondering for the last week haha it’s been killing me! Thank you!!
You should make a short video on what a wedding day schedule looks like. From 9am – 11pm etc. A good time frame for ceremony, reception, food wait times for guests etc! Would love to hear about that!
Kind reminder: Always watch the ads on Jaime’s videos❤️🙏🏻
Love these q&as!!
i missed you Jamie i haven't watched any of your videos for about a month now cause i'm busy 😭
I would never EVER expect either my or my partners parents to pay for any part of our wedding! After all, it's the couples decision to have a wedding! (Not relevant for pushy parents forcing a certain type of wedding).
I love the dollar dance! My favorite memory of a childhood friend's wedding was meeting and dancing with her new husband during the dollar dance. At a 300+ wedding, this was the only chance I had for a quick one-on-one conversation. I think calling it a "dollar dance" vs "money dance" is more approachable, to convey that smaller amounts are encouraged.
I wish you’d consider doing a reaction video. It’s not something I’d normally suggest for your channel, but it wouldn’t be really relevant and I’d seriously appreciate your perspective. TFD or The Financial Diet (great channel, btw, if you’re not already familiar) just posted a video called 5 Shocking Financial Truths About The Wedding Industry. Some of the information and advice seemed way off base.
I’m seriously enjoying you Master Plan, by the way. It’s helping me feel less stressed about everything I need to accomplish.
When attire is listed as “formal” what exactly does that mean for male guests? Dark business suits or tuxedos? I’ve read different things but mostly it’s the most formal attire, not just a nice jacket, slacks, and tie (which to me is semi formal). 🤷🏻♀️
It’s like she is listening to me through my phone😳
