are we getting married before we move to New Zealand?

[@mirandah6348]

I'm excited for this vlog-style content!

[@CarrieRad]

Woohoo!! Me too actually! So fun to make!! I’m glad you’re excited for it. 🥰

[@robyn3083]

Carrie, I think you are just the sweetest most genuine person to watch on KZbin. I wish you and Alex all the best on your new adventure!

[@mariewilson921]

LOVE the reminder about doing a wedding (or really any major life events) that is best for ourselves. So easy to lean into our people pleasing ways. Stoked for you two to make this move, you are radiating with excitement!

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you for this sweet comment! Appreciate you!!

[@harrietmcneilis8796]

i hope your wedding plans all fall into place, you are a beautiful couple and i'm sure you will have a wonderful life together in New Zealand. All the very best .

[@candydot328]

You’re truly inspiring. I am so excited for your new adventure with Alex and Lanka! ❤️

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you for being part of the journey!!

[@bangkokwalks8875]

Pure joy to watch my friend! This is what I am striving for in my videos!

[@l.u.c.y.3590]

Such a nice vlog, you are so natural and non-cringy. Much love.

[@Wheezywatches]

I moved before my husband did across several states. I can’t imagine going across the world! It’s stressful, but you’re doing it right by starting early. It takes way longer to donate and sell off items than you may realize. Plus getting new things you may need like clothes or tech cables. I wish yo u5e best of luck and hope you enjoy the holidays with family.

[@MyDiamondLife]

Been watching your videos since your early days when I was living as an expat in Spain. Having moved across the country and the world a few times (with 2 dogs) , I can tell you for sure that there will be tons of lists to make and details to take care of, things you will remember and some you may realize were important later. In all of it, just breathe and do whats next with as much ease, joy, and grace as you can. No matter where your journey takes you, it will all be worth it, because it's your precious life. I'm pretty sure you realize that! Wishing you all the best as you move through this process. (PS - As someone who also shipped things across the ocean, don't listen to anyone else's advice about keeping or getting rid of "stuff" - because having the precious things you love that remind you of where you came from, or stories in your life, will ground you as you live in a completely new culture)

[@xsiemprepaulii]

I love this advice you gave 💕 it really resonated with me for some reason. Thank you!

[@lolalillies]

If it makes you feel any better, when we decided to move to San Francisco from Australia, we did everything within two weeks. From deciding to move, selling everything we owned and hopping on a plane. We've been here for 8 years now. 😂I understand how stressful moving can be. Everything will work out :) You guys are going to have so much fun! Is it weird that I'm excited to see what your garden will be like? 🙈

[@emilyjimly]

Yay! I always prefer vlog style-it feels more authentic

[@CarrieRad]

Glad you like! I have a new vlog style video coming today.

[@HLDlove]

Thanks for sharing your wedding journey, Carrie. I know how hard it is, as my fiance (now husband) and I got engaged Christmas 2019 with the intention of getting married June 2020. We spent a year and a half planning, putting deposits down, etc, and then the pandemic happened. We ended up going through with our wedding but on a much smaller scale. We went from 200 people to 22 people (including us), and honestly, it was still the best day ever. Initially I was upset, but we didn't want to wait. We have family planning goals (I am now expecting baby in May!) and have been together for 7 years. It was our time and we were going to cherish the moment even if it looked different. It was very much "US" and about us and I felt so amazing and fantastic on our wedding day. All this being said, we do live in Canada (British Columbia) and we were allowed to have close gatherings during the time of our wedding. I wish you and Alex all the love in the world because I know how stressful and uncertain and frustrating this in between process. Sending love from Canada!

[@xcookiecrumbleex]

So excited for the NZ vlogs! Wishing you all the best xx

[@CarrieRad]

Thanks so much Emily!! 😘♥️

[@passionelle8]

Came across your channel, amazing content. You're so humble and natural in a world like today. All the best and waiting to see more of your inspiring journey over the next few weeks. Stay safe. Thank you.

[@michellemiles5599]

We had a beautiful and expensive destination wedding planned on Vancouver Island and obviously chose to cancel it to be safe for ourselves and others. Luckily we got all of our money back which isn’t common for many couples this year. With all those savings we were in a much better place to buy a house! It was the best thing that could have happened. And we got married in my parents backyard on our original date and it was so special and perfect. Everything works out in the end 💕 I can’t wait for you 2 to be married no matter how different it looks. I trust you will look back on everything with no regrets.

[@LittleSweettt]

Hi Carrie! I’m from Spain and here, as you probably know, things with Covid are crazy, but I got married 15 days ago. Last June we changed our plans and We decided to celebrate our wedding only with the main family (we were less than 20 which is what it’s allow here right now) and we had the most perfect day even we couldn’t kiss some of them. We also decided that we are going to have a party wedding with our beloved ones and friends when Covid let us doing secure. So we are having 2 weddings lol. I’m just telling you this because whatever you decided even is a very little wedding our posponed it all is a good choice. You are such a beautiful person and Alex and you inspire me a lot. You deserve all the happiness in the world ❤️

[@catherined6399]

I just love this velvet pink shirt haha! I can't wait to hear more about New-Zealand!

[@CarrieRad]

Thanks! I’ve had it for years! It’s from Madewell. ☺️

[@amandamartelli8811]

Blackberries grow wild here in New Zealand! You can go on country drives and pick them on the side of the road. I would not recommend planting in a garden as they will take over! But still easy to get your fill. Good luck with the packing!

[@rebeccasophiec]

I'm planning a wedding for next year and have found it surprisingly hard to remember that the day is for/about the two of us! Thanks for being so honest about all of this

[@tarynlee7437]

That's very true about New Zealand weather. It is gloomy here but very humid at the same time. Summers are amazing, very very hot but winters are freezing. One thing about NZ weather... you get all seasons in one day lol.

[@tiiapaxtonrealestate3686]

We were supposed to get married during the summer and we have been and then the pandemic hit. I'm from Finland and my fiance is from California and we haven't been able to even be together since December because of the travel ban. This is really devastating since we have had a life together in Finland and a business. We weren't able to celebrate our 5th year anniversary together either.

[@jamiecarter2192]

Love the vlog videos Carrie! Sounds like you’re super onto it and organised, so good on you guys xxx can’t wait to see more!

[@michaelheliotis5279]

Just wondering, is there any particular reason that you aren't just selling most of your stuff and buying replacements in New Zealand? I can see why you'd bring along something like a painting, but is there something wrong with New Zealand mugs that prevents you from buying new ones once there? At the very least, you won't want to bring along your kitchen appliances because the voltage is different so you'd have to get a step-down converter for everything or else it'll fry.

[@kadiyahsjournal]

Wishing you and Alex the best. I think doing what’s best for you as a couple is an amazing plan. Thanks for another great video!

[@melissarowley96]

Kia ora from Wellington, NZ! Can't wait to see home through your lens ❤️

[@jamiecarter2192]

Agree! I’m from Wellington too and I am soooo excited to see their move here!

[@ashleytune1598]

I love being able to see this process of you moving to another country because I don't think my partner and I are going to live in the U.S. forever just because of the state of, well, EVERYthing here. So seeing all of this is really helpful.

[@CarrieRad]

So happy you’re enjoying this! Excited to share more!

[@LisaLately]

I’m so excited for you! Thanks for vlogging the process!

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you for watching the journey. Appreciate you! 😘

I’ve had a few friends who had to postpone or reschedule their weddings. It’s been really rough on them too. I can’t know what that is like but I’m glad that you’re in a better headspace about it.

[@thatgirl_Devi]

I know exactly how upsetting this year has been for wedding planning. I got married last month and not only did we have to deal with covid-19, we had the wildfires happening a few days before our big day. We can planned so much having our ceremony (we couldn't have the reception) by the water and we had to change plans the day before the wedding to have it indoors.

[@rachelmutino1279]

Carrie! I LOVE you and your videos so so much, and I am so excited to follow you and Alex along on your journey to NZ! I was wondering if you would consider making a video that breaks down the expenses of moving to another country + what your visa or residence paperwork was like. My boyfriend and I are currently waiting on long term work visas from Sweden and we are ANTSY. I am just so curious as to what the paperwork process and moving expense are like for you guys. Thank you for being such an amazing role model and person!! Always looking forward to your videos!

[@georgejetson9801]

How exciting! I moved to Aussie some years ago and it was so involved and hectic. Thinking about heading over to NZ. Best wishes on your new journey! x

[@OnelovexOneheart]

So excited for you both!! Such a huge adventure! Can’t wait to watch the journey, so far I’ve been inspired to think about where life could take me and my husband as well! 😊❤️

I watched the whole video and am not sure if I missed it but are you getting married before the move now or once you're in NZ? 🙈 loved the vlog ☀️

You will love Aotearoa, Carrie. It's my favourite place ever (I'm a biased Kiwi, but I have lived in the US for a year before and travelled overseas; still, nowhere beats our wonderful country 😊)

I’m from South Africa and I’ve been *dreaming* of moving to New Zealand so I’ll be living vicariously through you until I can do so 🥺 I’m hoping to get my masters degree there so I can see what the lifestyle is like before fully committing 🙏

[@someraven24]

Taking a pet to New Zealand (and Australia) is so complicated! I work at a vet and we do every country except those haha. I don’t envy you having to go through that haha. But as long as you’re detailed oriented you can do it!

[@JosephinedAnvers]

Best wishes and luck from Belgium! I will be tagging along on your new adventure to New Zealand, so excited! I'm really curious about your garden plans!

[@CarrieRad]

Thanks for tagging along! We are so excited. I’ll fill everyone in on all of that as we go along. ♥️

[@Teganwinters1]

I’m so excited I wounder if we will live in the same area in New Zealand im heading there in December. Tips for nz pay rates are $15 ph Food is very expensive as it’s harder to ship to nz it’s always cold never fully warm sun but you adjust to it and it’s nice. Careful of some areas as people are quite loud and bad areas. Rent is expensive But I hope you love it

if you're going to plant blackberries (or raspberries for that matter), be warned, they have a tendency to completely take over the space you allow for them.

[@anastasiamauromatidou4238]

also your relationship lools like so "healthy" and nice! what's the tip?

[@ashleystanley4624]

Just as a heads up...those are not blackberries! That is a lantana bush. Be very careful not to eat any of the berries that are not FULLY ripe. Eating partially ripe berries from a lantana bush can make you very sick!

[@robertab.7520]

yeah! that was not a blackberry bush at all. hope they haven’t eaten it! 😳😳😳

[@VtorHunter]

So not blackberries!! Also as someone who lived in the PNW, and spends so much time-fighting blackberries and recovering my land from them, the idea of planting them terrifyies me.

[@רותםשקרוב]

The bush at the end is poisonous as far as I know!

[@allysonberry8708]

Check out @arnaalayne on KZbin and IG. She’s a New Zealander who just moved from Australia back to NZ with her hubby. She documented her isolation stay as well as some moving content. Might have some good info for you on the process.

I may have missed it but how are they moving? I thought NZ borders were closed

[@mattieclan8957]

Not closed for New Zealand citizens and permanent residents. Alex is a New Zealander. Some special visas also apply for essential workers and it seems that NZ film makers are getting special visas to bring in overseas film crew like Avatar. They will certainly be able to help the economy

[@borntobemagicall]

@@mattieclan8957 Oh, thanks! I didn't realise Alex was a kiwi. Cool :)

[@mattieclan8957]

He has dual citizenship or something to that effect. One of his parents is a Kiwi. If I can recall he lived in NZ when he was young.

[@bittersweet340]

In the news 3 weeks ago the NZ immigration website said there was a great demand of interest from Americans who are looking to relocate to NZ, Don't know if it had to do with the political tension that we are accustom of seeing on the tube of the protesters and rioters or covid, but it did say there were some wealthy investors wanting to come down under... Well have you consider coromandel peninsula white sand beaches, hippie lifestyle free range living bit touristy in summer might be ideal place depending what your looking for...
