[Music] hey I'm Nikki and this is my fiancee Kelsey we're getting married this year and we can't wait to make this perfect day our it's wedding season and this week we're talking about skin care I'm getting married this year and I'm very excited but also there's a lot to do and that's not just for wedding planning but everything to do with being a bride for the next few months I'm gonna go through all of the ultimate Bridal prep that I possibly can that's gonna include skin care hair nutrition working out accessories makeup to see if I can actually do it my current skincare regimen is very very simple I wash my face in the morning and at night with a simple cleanser for sensitive skin from my skincare journey I'm gonna consult a dermatologist and an aesthetician to help me find out what my ultimate skincare routine should be for me to look right there how are you a little nervous about the wedding or about me I never been to a dermatologist before I've never gotten a facial I really have no idea what I'm getting into I was a bride not too long ago almost two years exactly congratulations thank you it's a stressful time yeah a lot of things with the skin are related to stress so when you're under stress things of course especially acne I'd say have a pretty average skin I have some like dry splotchy patches like cutting around my cheeks in my face area I'm gonna call out a lot of stuff and I don't want to overwhelm you but this is what my eye and my clinical judgment expertise disease okay these lines should only be there when you're moving but as you can see there's two lines here round in the middle like you're mad you see how these kind of form these are called your 11 lines so another area where Botox can help it's a little bit hollow under your eye I think it would be nice if your chin came out a little bit more on the lower part you have a little bit of rosacea really shut for the redness we have a laser called xov ah and then we have another device called clearing brilliance I was like burning the rubber if you want to do some Botox today we can do here if you like that a lot of information yes all right let's get started those like a little bit of the sting one two and three ah so we're actively targeting red blood so heat up your vessels it's like a teeny tiny needle that's way more intense than I thought it would be we did two different lasers one for redness and one for pore minimizing the experience was not super Pleasant it was kind of shocking so this is the laser Genesis how's that that's okay well I can smell it yeah that's a Bri on your skin is that it makes your skin smoother it's a textural so I look beautiful yet alright get angry for me oh my god whoa why the bubble of Oh [ __ ] it goes away like pricing you thievin quick three to four days it starts working is really nice Katie thank you so much for everything hey um so that just happened yeah wait till I tell my fiance that I got Botox today cos she doesn't not know what do you think of my botox looks so smooth hi welcome to Kiel thank you we get a lot of brides to be coming into healed and we call it let's get you ready for wedding day skin I picked keels because a lot of my friends use keel products and actually really really love them so I was really excited to get like an entire regiment from them do you wear makeup I do a little bit I wear sunscreen I don't dermatologists gave me one so I do now okay if you have to only use our skin barrier testing tab okay and I'm gonna actually diagnose your skin type they're only gonna pick up your natural sebum No so you're definitely a little bit oilier on the forehead okay and dryer on the cheek so this is a dehydration analyzer tool this sends an undetectable microcurrent ten layers deep into the skin so ideally I'd like you to be at 50% hydration you came back at 34.6 okay so back in no it's not horrible so I'm gonna pull out our skin strengthening complex this is the base of any apothecary preparation or minimizing and then we're also gonna do our neutralizing of the redness you're gonna just do two or three drops morning and night there's your path Kerry preparations okay calendula lenser and toner morning and night rate moisturizer creamy eye with avocado for the eyes your sunscreen soothing hydration math microdermabrasion one time a week did not expect to get that many products if anything I'm gonna smell like a whole new movie this was only been a day since I've been at the dermatologist and like you can kind of already see like I'm Way less red than I normally am there anything different you guys can tell about my forehead there are less lines yes get Botox yeah I think so it works works I have fewer lines up here but I would be hesitant to do again for me it's very disconcerning telling your brain to move a certain part of your body and that part not moving that was very odd for me the lasers those things worked really I'm glowing so I'm a few days into using my old mining products and my skin is actually really really dry I just you can see there's like skin flaking on my skin did freaked out a little bit I think I honestly just made the jump too quickly I went from using like two products to using like eight I think I figured out it's the toner the toner that with like the facewash that I use when I reintroduce that my skin like did the same thing and got really really dry and like would flake off just to the touch it's just not right for my skin so I'm gonna stop using it but other than the toner like the serum is great I still use my rosacea cream eye cream is really nice so I have my daily routine and then I have the weekly mask which is lovely hi I'm Vicki and I would be working on face today right and we went over your allergies discussed all that so I'm going to start by cleansing I'm gonna take a look and see what's going on okay good so I had a facial for the first time it's not that I never wanted one I think it's just like in the spectrum of things I wanted to spend money on that was just pretty low priority I met with mcli who is an aesthetician who gave me that Hydra facial we do a lot of exfoliating and facials there's different ways there's chemical exfoliants there's physical exfoliant today i'm gonna be using kind of a combination of both a machine called hydra facial the machine does everything your skin needs it cleanses it exfoliates it extracts it protects and a peptide infusion it so they help protect and strengthen the skin oh my goodness my pores don't talk to it I'm sorry am i glowing she was just able to clean my skin in a way that I'm not able to do myself it was so relaxing it was so nice my skin feels very very clean and soft so after 30 days I definitely noticed a difference now that my skin has gotten used to the products I do feel a lot clearer my skin feels a lot better it's softer and I am a lot less red here are three things that I learned from this experience number one sunscreen sunscreen is like the number one protector of keeping your skin not damaged – there are a lot of factors that can affect your skin stress genetic hormones and your diet and that's just a few of them so even though you're taking really good care of it you should watch out for other factors as well and finally give yourself time talk to a doctor six months in advance try a new regimen at least three months at so getting your perfect wedding day skin is actually a lot harder than I thought it was going to be I got like some of the best care from some of the best professionals I could find and even then like I got it on my face last week do think I achieved that glow that I was looking for everyone's talking about being glowy on their wedding day it's definitely possible if I can do it you can do it I am like nervous about looking like Ellen no suit and white suits ha ha ha ha very wedding vibe yeah it is a little Ellen though it's wedding season and this week we're talking about suits because my fiance and I are both female identified one of the first questions I get is are you wearing a dress oh I'm not just because I have a vagina doesn't I have to wear a big poofy white dress on my wedding day I've personally never felt comfortable in dresses they're also like a lot of stigmas around same-sex relationships of like well who's the man well neither of us is the man but yes I will be wearing a suit I want to feel comfortable in how I'm expressing my gender and sometimes that looks like suits and sometimes that looks like heels and sometimes it looks like whatever they want it to look like it's non-traditional but there's a lot about me that's not traditional I'm gonna be working with Tony and Leon from sharp seating who are gonna help me find my ideal wedding suit and I'm really excited because the canvas is kind of blank for this congratulations on your engagement are you excited yes I'm pumped what all are we gonna do today we are going to take your measurements fit some jackets just to check some colors and size fits so tell me a little bit more about your wedding the ceremony's gonna be an outdoor reception is like an inside on the billion type of space so a lot of natural they core a lot of neutral colors finding suits for women can be hard lately there have been a lot more women in Hollywood and red carpets rocking the heck out of suits I think Janelle Monae looks great in suits if I can look anything like her I think we've done a good job in terms of design and color what did you have in my clean cut slim fit really sharp and really good I look hot those aren't very descriptive were elegant and classic yes yeah ok Tony and Leon just went over everything like what details are we looking for what's the style we're going after they also helped design the suit to match you and what Kelsey was wearing which I still don't know we're gonna actually ask you to leave so we can talk to her a little bit about her wedding dress I'm gonna my fiance will be wearing a dress because that's what she would like to wear strapless sweetheart neckline sparkly champagne bodice and tulle Avery skirt so I'm just thinking elegant and classic that's the theme of your wedding do you want her suit to be leis color or one of the wedding colors whatever she's comfortable in of course if she's comfortable in like a lime green then we'll talk about it right it was so cool to be able to break down all of the details and make something that was perfect for this occasion and for me and for this style and for our relationship in terms of laser fitted feminine cut for the pants higher rise I used to kind of accentuate your hips how do you feel about that shove all of it in there okay so we're gonna a lot a bunch of fabrics and trims and see what looks great on you so many options [Music] [Laughter] Thanks white it does have a wedding vibe it is a little Ellen though Ellen looks great you're not Ellen you don't need to be Ellen it's very Harry Potter ish let's try on a black one so then you get the effect of how that would look now we've got the full lapel and black satin compared to the other one this one has a higher peak that's what's called the peak lapel do we like this a turn in the sunlight is there gonna be more of like a contrast between satin and natural suit yeah it's a little hard to see here I like the difference between the sat and the suit the nice thing about the wedding being indoors and outdoors is the suit might look different when you go outdoors at just sunlight this is pretty much the look yeah and just a little sign attribute that we have a lot of our clients will get the double on hole as a sign of equality and it's kind of become a sharp signature so your entire design we have a classic black tuxedo with black satin accents for your peak lapel and wear your pants I wasted feminine cut with a high satin black contrast waistband and a very slender tapered look on the bottom it's gonna really complement what Kelsey's gonna be wearing and you guys are gonna be classic together very gorgeous couple hey beautiful we'll come back in a few weeks they care many stylistic alterations there's been a few weeks and the suits ready so I'm gonna put it on for the first time today and hopefully it fits not will do some alterations I'm worried about the pimps I like it but I think it needs to be let out a little bit more straight I've got monster cab and then we need to bacon hips how do you like the fit of the jacket jacket fits perfectly look slim yeah I'm so excited this is great the suits done the alterations have been made I get to try it on today pumped this is it this is what I'm gonna look like on my wedding day oh my god I hope it's great I want people to look at photos and be like wow here's the thing weddings are like 50% making everyone else happy and 50% looking as hot as you possibly can let's start trying on Mickey are you ready that's a regular it's very fitted but how does it feel in terms of movement jacket is super comfortable it fits really well in the shoulders which is usually difficult for me I love the high waisted pants I've like never been this decked out before I look better and I projected oh my god I love this this is like me for you yeah it fits perfectly and I feel so good and I look so nice that's like what you're supposed to feel when you get married really bring more friends yeah let's do it I'm sorry [Music] it honestly not only suits your body but it also is your personality which is very strong and professional and fierce serious but it's still you this is like oh so stupid but like dream come true I didn't have like a wedding dress moment but like this is that for me it's better than I could've imagined the next time you see me in them be on the wedding day when I decided I wasn't wearing a dress I knew I was kind of giving up on that like I say yes to the dress moment it looks such a plate-up moment for women and I kind of thought that I would pass up on that which I was fine with but I ended up having it with my friends and with Tony and Leon yeah she's gonna be like look at my life I almost want you to be my wife look at this it's so nice I'm so excited I'm so glad you guys are gonna be there this process was really amazing I really like how I look at my suit the three things that I learned from this experience one have people who can help you figure out how to match what you're wearing to not only your partner but also the venue and the style and the overall theme of your wedding – this is your wedding you deserve to wear whatever makes you feel the best so find what works for you and run with it three ultimately the most important thing is that you're sharing this moment with people that you love and who love you and at the end of the day that's really all that matters I'm getting married in like a month at least I will look great doing it when I'm 80 years old someone somewhere will be looking at these photos and they'll be like wow that's a Gyo lady used to be this that's all I want [Music] starts to burn just a little bit but that'll do it no it's wedding season and this week we're talking hair and brows hair there's a lot of pressure around having really great hair for your wedding because it's something that's gonna be in your photos forever just as you want to care for your skin you also want to care for your hair so either it's easy leave-in treatment product or just going to the flan to get some treatments done for the wedding I would ideally love to have really voluminous silky shiny hair like a well-groomed dog so I'm gonna get help from a professional hairstylist and hopefully he can help me achieve those voluminous silky shiny hair vibes that I'm going after welcome to raw how are you feeling we are in the countdown we're in the sprint mode now but I'm excited what's your time frame as far as from here today to your wedding a little more over three months that's short but that's good because the length of your hair and what you want to achieve is doable what's like your hair routine I wash it about every three days right I use dry shampoo on the days that I don't want but for the most part my hair is pretty boring I got that flat age apparent so I just kind of bounce right here I don't know how we can really change that the first thing I want to do today is kind of get your scalp back on track so what I'm gonna do is tea tree mask oh it's gonna be a little cold the teacher is gonna help us to kind of like clear the base and also heal and seal I usually recommend could you show only once a week line it up Sunday Funday and that's your mask you know that and then we're gonna take the biotin pills top fortify your hair skin and nails that you're glowing on your wedding day and then your hair goes at least maybe an inch to two inch of water Wow and then I'm gonna hair scribe you a couple products to yours great shampoo and conditioner and with the red Korean seaweed to help strengthen the hair mask once a week Sunday bun day great leave-in conditioner for every time that you don't use conditioner or volumizer at the root and then we're gonna use a shine before and after a blow job I'll see you in 30 days the light trim and then we'll see with the health of your hair is at the foretop journey this supposed to help your like hair growth what smells like a lot of huge in addition to working on the hair on the head I'm also gonna look into my brows so brambles are like a thing I'm not good at they honestly frame your face even just a little bit of care and grooming to your brows can change the overall look of your face but in a very subtle way a lot of brides do micro bleeding's make their lives a little bit easier on the day to day but also just to have that perfect look for their wedding day as well my friend you got your brows micro bleeding I did what did you think I can't imagine myself never having micro bladed eyebrows I've gotten so used to not having to worry about them I will say it's a little scary at first it's a needle that I dip in ink and I make incisions into your brow area to mimic Karen why should people do this over like other brow things compared to the old method of tattooing like permanent makeup it fades to just a really nice natural color and there's no undertones or other pigments they're gonna come through so it's worth it it's so worth it I literally roll out of bed and just come to work and I still feel on fleek I just don't feel like you Fred so first we're gonna clean up your eyebrows do you have any pictures of things that you like I like to look like me so how long do these last so we're between a year sometimes a year in two years we'll put a little numbing cream on there so I won't feel anything no you both hear more than you actually feel that'll sit on for about 20 minutes Oakland and I'm a little bit heavy uh-huh little nervous it's not bad at all this is the needle I use it's super super small I will do an outline to let make sure you're okay with the shape that we decide to do so I'm basically gonna fill in this area just kind of get it feathered through their bridge all that maybe extend it just a little bit pretty much looks like my eyebrows now you ready let's see if you're know let's hope so mm-hmm oh yeah it does sound bad the application itself takes about 15-20 minutes it's like we're drying in hairs exactly you want to take a look at what it's looking like sure is it scary not at all oh yeah that is supernatural it does look dark because it stains the hairs a little scrapey sounds real unnerving you still feeling numb though about that oh yeah it takes about three days to start to heal and then kind of pills off no one's really gonna notice you it'll just look like your brow gel on or something Wow I'm like a different person I know they're little intense especially this area cuz you don't really have anything but when it heals you're pretty much gonna lose a lot of the outer edge my foreheads been through a lot a little bold but alright it's not gonna stay like that let's see what Kelsey has to say about she didn't know I did this today oh wait that's tattooed there very shapely yeah there are little intense but it'll get it's just like very new look like they've been drawn on like a cartoon the first three days I got them done all anyone could do was look at my brows you turn to me and I immediately notice your eyebrows they are darker they look precise though I like it yeah but they've mellowed out my eyebrows are scabbing now they look a less intense right guys yeah great yeah do you like I like him a lot here I was so nervous right after cuz I was like oh my god what have I done it's like when you draw eyebrows on a god that's they still look really good but now they look like normal honestly I was a little skeptical that I would see any difference in my hair but it felt so much lighter and so nice so shiny it's like a beautiful unicorn you're taking up my whole shelf you used to take 15 minutes to see my hair that takes like 45 so today what we're gonna do is I'm gonna gloss the entire hair it's kind of you're like reviving your hair back up but it's also gonna tone down some of these highlights that you have in your hair cuz your weddings gonna be outside we want the Sun to hit it correctly and bounce off of your hair I tell people to not go cheap on the hair or the makeup because pretty much that's the way you're gonna look for the rest of your life my ultimate goals are my hair is so healthy that I don't have to do anything to it in the morning I've been working out a lot but I'm sweating a lot but my hair's been like holding up really well look at you Missy you're getting right with their hair gods now you're the Virgin Mary ready no we're putting purple shampoo and you what's gonna ask out some of the warmth in your hair I definitely want some layers and I want to go order but like if I decide to do an updo I want to be able to have the link to do that so we're gonna do longer layers and then we're gonna take it up just so good Wow nice simple day so what's next for you and your journey is just keep on with your routine I didn't think you were gonna come through but you did know because you look scared but the logic behind it has definitely proven thank you so much yeah no you look beautiful you like my hair yeah looks really natural and it goes better with your eyebrows too here are three things that I learned about this entire hair experience one Wow we do not need to be conditioning our hair every time we wash it leave-in conditioner was just as fine to hair is a really long process get help early on as soon as you can it's not one of those things you want to leave to the last minute my hair right now gives me a lot of versatility whether I want to leave it down and leave it a little bit bigger and voluminous or if I want to put it up either way I think it'll look really great so I'm excited to try out a couple different looks three your eyebrows microwave oh it's so expensive if you don't realize how much brows do to how your face looks until you get them done professionally and one of those people who cares about what their brows look like look they're great this is how you get this is how you get welcome to the holder Fitness it's wedding season and this week we're talking fitness and nutrition how them Fitness is like what everyone talks about when they get ready for their wedding I'm gonna have that bride body I'm gonna look so good everyone's gonna look at my arms I have a really poor relationship with health and fitness most because I don't like working out if I don't have to be why should I be that being said I'm a little pudgy got some love all around all of these areas so I am getting the help from a personal trainer and a nutritionist to achieve my healthy ideal bride body and who knows maybe I'll look be a completely different woman my name is Jill I'm known as the LA bride trainer I don't want to like focus on losing a certain amount of pounds but I want to feel healthier get better stamina I just got a little bit of punch that I kind of wanna get rid of we're gonna turn this bolts toad nuts go so it's so intimidating first thing we're gonna do is your pre-workout workout I'm gonna get your heart rate up where your body's burning calories a significant level 1500 bride so far have had a hundred percent success rate well and they've all been sexy bride and down that pays you know k go regret everything going forward or do sculpting and toning followed by cardio followed by ABS yoga class or flexibility training is the perfect way to be at your absolute best and your big day okay we can do that an addition to fitness nutrition is so so key to getting the body that you want my name is Kelly Levesque I'm a holistic nutritionist and wellness expert here in Los Angeles we work together in cleaning up the diet but for the most part it's really just balancing blood sugar making sure they're fueled post-workout so they have energy if we can easily take advantage of extending your fat burning' by just making breakfast carb free I have a formula for smoothies it has 20 grams of protein 10 grams of fat 10 grams of fiber so protein fat and fiber together turn off all eight hunger hormones in your body it's overwhelming at first but really it's just for thing my goal for this is to be the healthiest I've ever been because I believe that if I'm the healthiest I've ever been I'm gonna feel the best I've ever been and I'm gonna look the best I've ever looked I understood my first workout with Jill she left like 30 minutes ago and I'm like still recovering so Jill has me on her 12-week fried body program I work out with Jill three times a week I'd be the bride by program by myself I do a day of stretching and rebound and then I do a day where I do like thirty minutes of cardio we just got right into it in that first week and she kicked my ass for the first week all I'm gonna want you to do is have enough protein of fat at breakfast to get yourself to lunch without being starving so one of the first things that Kelly wanted me to do was swap out breakfast for smoothies this was the first morning that you did that I'm curious to see if it's gonna be enough for me to last through the workout even though oil could like to barely handle the workout Jill was never like a drill sergeant she was always like let's figure out what you can do let's give a little bit more let's try a little bit harder and that was definitely something that I could get down with good job today what you just needed an hour Walt could probably take somebody three hours too long you should be proud of yourself I was supposed to do a little bit of cardio over the weekend and I fell asleep in the afternoon oops and then it was dark outside excuses excuses – like I found one of those aerobics videos on Netflix Kelsey and I did one together in the living room just to get your body moving for 30 minutes it's actually like really silly and really fun week two was really hard because BuzzFeed's queer prom happened over the weekend we're supposed to do at-home yoga yesterday is but I worked from 9 a.m.
To 8 p.m. so I didn't do it on top of that how do you say no to free food so really hard to say no to these things it's hard when like life gets in the way work gets in the way your routine Falls to crap and then you just gotta start over you gotta do it again a few of my co-workers have seen me working out and they're joining me for today's workout is really hard I'm glad I did it with other people otherwise I would have quit after the warmup it was a hell of a workout I'm starting to love it though yay hate running because they never last very long but I was like able to actually keep up a pace and do it several times now I'm getting to the point of I know what I can give and I know what it feels like to get better I like kind of like the workouts now aah Who am I I literally just worked out and now what's happening tell say you dink he's getting some hot pop it's zero calories it's bacon cheddar flavor oh my god I never realized the importance of eating well when working out there are days where I don't eat as much protein for breakfast and I feel it during my workouts Kelly's been really helpful in healing my body in the right way for my workouts so I don't feel completely dead after in the morning I start with a smoothie breakfast and then at lunch I'll have salmon or chicken cauliflower rice and like a bunch of veggies for dinners it's usually the same thing as lunch so just a lot of proteins hacking as many vegetables as I can I'm gonna be all ready tonight I started my period and just want any pizza we get it Nick you're on a diet great so yeah going on a Sunday around it's totally a different energy when you work out by yourself than when you do with people we encourage each other and it was like a really great time now that you're going for runs with your heart it's just important for you to just be like it doesn't suck so much now I kind of want to get out Johnny and move our cups to before lunch but what Kelly's recommending is that I don't eat between breakfast and lunch but today's workout I felt really really empty like I hadn't eat and then I'm gonna give Kelly a call and see what she thinks and see how I should be switching out my diet to make sure that I don't absolutely feel drained during workouts yeah so next week is my birthday I'm gonna want all the things I need to know what is okay and what isn't otherwise I can do that I got Korean barbecue with a bunch of my friends and then on my birthday weekend Kelsey and I went and ate really really great Italian food it's so hard for me to approach special occasions and like not want to indulge myself because somehow I feel like for turning 24 I deserve cake and my diet just completely went to [ __ ] last night I ate Indian food doesn't morning my body was like butt Nikki you okay I'm dead we're on track I'm gonna measure you I want to see what your inch loss I had pretty much just like lost three inches all around which sounds great but apparently I'm like not on track for what I should be I know that the fitness is only half of it and that if the fitness and nutrition don't line up I'm basically sabotaging myself which is a really frustrating thing because I feel like oh I worked out so well let me eat this cookie but then that cookie makes the work out like not count anymore so at this point I kind of just have to recommit to eating really clean in the long run it's only twelve weeks of my life and the progress that I've seen so far is crazy that I'm like excited to see what's possible in the next four weeks [Music] nothing bought boxing today let's kill it ready yeah let's do it Jill did a little bit of boxing with me and that's a workout I could totally get on board with my arms are so tired all the time now I'm sore but the good kind of solar I remember the first workout that Jill and I had together and we are just miles ahead of that now makes me really excited to know what's gonna happen in like 12 weeks I'm just super impressed by the fact that every session you go all out I'm like really impressed with myself so this is like a typical lunch some salmon call rice and veggie stir-fry all clean no flavor no love no like fine I'm fine with it I look different like my body looks different it's just smaller like fitting very simple these last four weeks were tough Jill really ramped up my workouts I did more cardio every time I did more strength every time I did more weights and on top of that I did soul cycle classes on the weekend which are just giant sweat fests this is our final workout we're gonna do exactly the same workout that we did on day one brick by this time the very first time we worked out you already sat down and I know now you could go for sure to the end of it one more rep and done we did it yeah I didn't think we'd make it no I knew you'd make it whatever I asked of you you always do and I sometimes don't get that from people thank you you're welcome oh my god this is the most challenging aspect of the entire process but honestly it's been the most rewarding three things I learned from this experience one there's no way that changing everything about your diet and your fitness isn't hard there's no easy way out you just got to put in the time and you got to be really really disciplined that being said – not everything works for everyone you have to find what works for you someone else could have done the exact same diet and workout regimen that I did and had completely different results but don't give up if one thing doesn't work for you three this is possible if I can do it honestly you can do it 12-week fitness nutrition Bridal body boot camp you know I just have to make sure for the next month before the wedding I don't eat a piece of every day just no matter how fit and clean you are lots about pizza will never end wedding planning [Music] I'm so curious to know what is going on here oh it's wedding season and this week we're talking about hair and makeup trials beauty beauty finding the right hair and makeup artist is so so important when it comes to your wedding day because that's what you're gonna look like in all of your photos for all of time whenever you book a hair and makeup artist for your wedding what they recommend is doing a trial that's you meeting up with them a few weeks before your wedding to decide on what your look is you're gonna be beautiful because you're so happy so that's already going for you you just don't want to make the mistake of like especially too much makeup because you want to be able to recognize yourself you really want it to reflect what you look like on your best day today we're getting three different hair and makeup looks from three different sets of stylists they'll all get the same information about our wedding our style what we're gonna be wearing and who we are as a couple I have a few ideas about what I want and I have no idea what I want can be pretty hard to put your hair and makeup into the hands of someone who doesn't know you they could all think very drastically different things I just hope I like one of them it's gonna be a surprise excited me too hi my name is Patrick Santa Anna and this is my sister hazel one of our favorite things to do our weddings and I'm gonna be doing makeup today and she's gonna be doing pretty hair so for Kelsey to do alternate waves and maybe a soft little braid on the side Nikki because she doesn't wear too much makeup I was thinking about structured contour nude eyes with just a wingtip and then also a really

fiance Kelsey we're getting married this year and we can't wait to make this perfect day our it's wedding season and this week I'm getting married it's wedding season and I'm getting married and while weddings are like really fun they make you do a lot of really crazy stuff ah I'm gonna try my best to remind myself of all of this it's also that we can celebrate our relationship together very emotional because for a long time this was not a reality in my mind and it was not a reality in the world anywhere and so I'm very very fortunate to not only like legally marry the person that I so hopelessly loved but I get to do it in a way that celebrates who we are it's like really fun friends and family in a really beautiful place with lots of cake it's gonna be beautiful and everyone's gonna the best time of their life having the same vision it's going to set the tone for the whole wedding planning process Elsie and I didn't have a traditional wedding planner because it's not something we could fit into our budget we ran into this thing called the white box which is online virtual planning tools as well as signing experts who can help you with every aspect of wedding planning we went ahead and fill out their questionnaire we told them who we are as a couple always sounds like such a lesbian couple yeah I'll take the cat part out what our ideal wedding looks like intimate time with close friends also cute dogs I'm on stalks will be there and what areas we needed help with ways to take our current plan to the next level submit after we fill out the questionnaire we're gonna get a call from one of the founders of white box I'm Tara with the white box we help you in putting together like your budget cohesive look and making these big decisions put them together in a box and then ship them to your door there's wedding palette color linen samples invitations that you could use they did everything from helping us build out our timeline to finding specific rental places near our venue and it was like really really fun because they sent us candy well my skin is glowy my hair is beautiful I have lost about 10 pounds and I have a suit that I look great in and I'm getting married in like a week [Music] our wedding was in Washington State Kelsey and I both grew up there so we love the Northwest all of our friends and family were like in the same place for the whole weekend we decided to have our first look which is when we see each other before the ceremony it was one of those things where the weather was perfect the lighting was perfect it was just this really great moment where everything came together and she looked amazing like it's really great to start all of the wedding festivities with just that intimate moment with the two of us and from that point on being like alright what do we do now we do together [Music] the wedding itself was in an outdoor garden it was really really beautiful because you could see the water we were so lucky that we had good weather so my mom has a lot of dogs two of which were in the wedding and they pretty much stole the show welcome to this most happy of days as we join in the celebration of making cozy and I met when we were both pretty young we spent a lot of the beginning of our relationship in secret honestly to think about those days where we first decided to be together to now is one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen in my life and probably will ever see in my life ladies you may kiss [Applause] I've always known that I wanted to get married I've been really lucky to grow up with parents who have just been a great model for marriage that's always been something that's really inspiring to me the wedding itself was actually this really great time that Kelsey and I spent together through the ceremony through the reception we were just holding hands or holding each other just the whole time and those were often just like really intimate and lovely times just to be together and we made sure to schedule that kind of time in so it was like a little bit of hanging out with people and a little bit of time to ourselves it was a perfect day everything came together place was more beautiful than I could have imagined we like were able to enjoy the day with our friends and family it really felt like such a privilege to not feel like we needed to do this in secret or we need it to be anything else than who we actually were if you told me five years ago that this is what my wedding would have looked like and maybe wouldn't have believed you so this has been one big journey and I did a lot of work in terms of like being a bride and prepping myself for this wedding I got Botox done my eyebrows mic related I got an amazing suit custom-made I worked out dieted for 12 weeks I tried out a bunch of different hair and makeup looks I think my goal early on was to be as physically healthy as I could and it totally worked I have never been this healthy and I really do feel like I was like in the prime of my life on my wedding day for the honeymoon we went to Italy and I ate a lot ice cream and I got a little bit fat in a little bit tamp here so we're married [Music]
