Whether your mom or any one of us thinks YOU should NOT be married is irrelevant. You do what is right for you and what makes you happy. So sorry your mom acted like she did not want to be there. Hopefully on your wedding day everyone will come together to shower you with praises and love! Count down begins...I'm excited for you both! 😄🤗

[@cjschannel3516]

Wish u the best sister lov u

The whole energy was off but Iyah was so bubbly and happy! Congratulations to you both, cannot wait for the wedding!!!

The Mum should have been more supportive her vibes was toxic.

[@bluejay7777]

I love how you make the best out of every situation. Stay positive!! I can’t wait for the wedding!

[@RB-oy3vx]

I can feel the energy of love through Iyah.. and her husband is showered with it that he showers her with admiration You’re lovely.. and have so much to give Love you guys

[@NikaK23]

Sometimes our parents know things that we can not see. It's them sometimes being protective or overly protective. I've had to learn a time or two in life by ignoring my mom's advice. But it happens to everyone.. you live and learn. And I'm not saying this is your case. I hope your mom will be happy for you two or is happy for you guys🙏🏿 She also seems shy. I think she'll loosen up when your dad is there 💕 I pray all goes great and you have a wonderful and Blessed Marriage 💕💕! Do y'all and don't worry about what anyone thinks☺️! And remember to keep God First 🙏🏿🎉

I’m so excited for your wedding 💒 I can’t wait to see how nice you both are going to look…..also a piece of advise don’t worry about anyone or anything else…..Saturday is about just the 2 of you as long as you both are happy with each other anything else does not matter…..Your husband will take good care of you I can tell that he loves you so much and I know you feel the same for him….best of luck to both of you I’ve been really enjoying the vlogs.

[@ahruis]

The babies (dogs) where happy to see you guys!! They got excited!! 🙏🏼❤️

[@Passingclouds497]

I can tell you are so much more relaxed just in your conversation. When you both have babies together the family dynamics will change. It always does.

[@tinasingletary-scott8751]

You guys look happy, and your loving your best life! Mothers worry that there daughters aren’t ready to become wives and mothers. But you have to walk your own path, let the chips fall where they may. Parents who may have had failed relationships are afraid for there children to experience the same thing. But good or bad win or lose, it is your choice and you’re woman enough to stand on your decisions. Be blessed you guys, and have a wonderful wedding, and love.

[@yvonnemieux6624]

I cant wait for the big day to see Iyah and Rafal in their finest. I can't help myself saying congrats to both of you over and over💕💕. You will both be a wonderful couple ❤💕❤.

[@bethkhensous3314]

My mother reacted pretty much the same way when I married my Algerian husband (I’m English)now 30 years later and blessed with 5 children, it couldn’t be more different….my mother is in the final stages of Alzheimer’s, my husband and I are her full time carers, she absolutely adores him, time has shown her what I always knew to be true of him, that he is the most wonderful, caring genuine man and we are beyond blessed to have him in our life’s. Love and light to you darling, all will work out perfectly 🙏🏼

[@tazerdemt7354]

Then u were lucky..... not everybody is

[@carlap4119]

I pray that you two be together until death do you part. My husband was 25 years older than me and we stayed together for 30 years. We marked in 1979 and he passed away in 2010. I still miss him.

[@carlap4119]

That was supposed to be married not marked sorry.

[@NikaK23]

You must be 61 or 62 years old now.

It won’t last..He looks too old she looks too young awkward wedding.🤢

[@ninacleveland]

To each its own but not me and will have a fit if my daughter or son marry someone 25 years older than them but some people will.

[@atstafford10]

Dear Iyah, I must say this reminds me of my mother's reaction when my husband and I got together. There were varying reasons, that I didn't understand until later, why she reacted the way that she did. Nonetheless, it hurt me very deeply. What bothered me most was precious time that could have been shared was gone, lost. She was all I had, my only sister was deceased, and my mother and I were always so very close. What I am about to say, I say most humbly. Like you, and Rafal, my husband and I were a very strikingly handsome couple. Everywhere we went we drew attention. Men envied him, and women were jealous. Over all his family embraced me, but a few of his sister's (older, married multiple times), were very nasty. A dear friend of mind said to me once, that sometimes mothers can be very envious of their daughter's, and asked if I thought that could be it. And, at the time I said no. My mother was (still is at 90) very beautiful, she had a handsome husband, beautiful healthy children, a good life overall. I just couldn't imagine it, and she always wanted the best for me. It was true to some extent. And, I will just say that women are their own worst enemies, and can be very vicious and spiteful toward one another. I knew this at an early age, and have only a few dear life long women friends. So, here are a few tips: Keep your circle of women in your life very small, and make sure you are of a like mind, and presence. Most important, you are a woman now, not your mother's little girl. Protect what you have with Rafal, for what you have is sacred. And, trust me when I say - there will be people that will try to destroy what you and he have. I guarantee it! You belong to him now! Your place is always with him. Always. Make beautiful the home that he provides for you, and any children you may be blessed with. Be very careful what you share with others. Set the pace for your life as you and Rafal would have it, and the rest will follow. Or, not. You may have to say good bye to some folk, even family. And, that's okay too!!! Congratulations!!! May God's eternal blessings be upon you always! F.Y.I. My mother got cancer, and Alzheimer's. I told my husband she had to move in with us so I could care for her and he was fine with that. He loved and respected my mother, and I know she loved him too. Alone now, I continue to care for her. My husband and I were married 14 1/2 years until he died unexpectedly in 2015, and I miss him terribly. We loved each other deeply, and were never apart not one day in all those years. We laughed every day, ate our meals together, traveled, and prayed together. We were totally devoted to one another. Yours is the only couple channel I subscribe to because you bring a smile to my heart, you both are so refreshing, and you remind me so much of what I had with my husband. Thank you for sharing! I love U2! Detroit, MI

[@rebeccasmith1235]

You are absolutely right! God has to be first ! I’m saying this from a good place. I wish Iyah and Rafal a happy marriage and continued growth in life, health and prosperity. May God continue to bless this couple congrats 🎈🍾🎉

[@NikaK23]

Omg this was beautifully written! And you're absolutely right. And I know your husband is by your side everyday 🙏🏿💞. God Bless 🙏🏿💞

[@uendjiikandanga]

I appreciate you sharing your story 🥺💞

[@ninacleveland]

I love you story. it is indeed touching. And there are other great couples on here that will put a smile on your face.

[@roselee1974]

Very beautiful written and said.! From, Michigan also

[@ninacleveland]

Iyah, I don't know, sometimes us mothers been down those roads, sometimes we see things before it happens, do make your own decisions BUT also listen to what your mother has to say,her wisdom. Always remember, she loves you more than anything... even when you're wrong, she'll be the only one standing right there by your side when everyone else is gone. She'll be telling the world about your accomplishments and how good of a girl you have always been. And quess what, this is a cold world (dog eat dog)... anything that can go wrong will go wrong and it's going to happen, your mom will be the first person come to mind..She will always have your back. Love her while she is still alive. She is the best friend you will ever have. Don't let anyone tell you different or interfere with that. Give her time to adjust to this new situation, she will get there. She only wants the best for you. Don't forget, you will always be her baby no matter what.

Stay positive. Sometimes your family ain’t your friend. I can’t imagine what your mom is feeling but hopefully she comes around. Maybe the thought of her baby girl getting married is overwhelming. Time heals all. Best wishes for a loving fruitful marriage.

So happy for you guys. stay positive. I hope the mom & sister dont act that way on the wedding day.

[@womanishways]

Your joy, positivity, and excitement was the compelling story. I think your mother just wants it to be easier for you than it was for her as a Black woman in an interracial relationship with many children. You are the shining light Iyah whose dreams and goals don't end with marriage but will blossom through a loving marriage to a man who supports and encourages your evolvement. I pray and believe that he will not be intimidated nor seek to control who you will becone. I ask God to be ever present in your living and loving! Celebrate each others cultures and continue to chase your dreams. Pastor Lola

[@alphansoworth9775]

I think you guys are a little bit too hard on her mother...look her daughter his marrying a 42 year old polish guy most people never even heard of Poland at least she showed up! You guys have to give her her time to get used to the situation remember this is her frist child this is her frist motherly love we all adjust to situation differently so I really think you guys should take that into account however I do support this couple 100% if they're happy together we should be happy for them love doesn't see color or age

[@briannaanetaXOXO]

[@Sasha-yg2ng]

Both parents should have been introduced before the wedding day!

[@contentedspirit9022]

Iyah, your mom seems so shy and uncomfortable that it is sad. It seems like she's afraid to join in, just like how in your other videos she stands back and is self-conscious. I feel like she will feel better on Saturday when your dad is with her. I hope your niece has more confidence in the wedding. My daughter's ring bearer was just as shy. He ran off as soon as walking down the aisle. Lol. God's blessings to you both.

[@NikaK23]

I always love the videos when the ring bears get so shy they take off🤣. Like "nope this is not what I signed up for"! 🤦🏿

Sending all of my love Lyah I know how this situation must have made you feel and especially as a daughter you never want your own family to make things feel awkward. you are strong and let your sisters know that love is love no matter what. It must be so difficult for you emotionally. I hope your day was special just like you guys deserved it to be! Xxxx

[@annettedennis253]

I was very sad to see the mother’s reaction, I don’t know how long she’s known her daughters fiancé and if she’s even sat down and talked with her, does she know if her daughter is happy if she is do what you can to guide her and support her. In this case it’s hard to give advice if you don’t have the facts. My only prayer is that they are happy and will have a blessed life and family 🙏🏾🎚👍🏾💕

[@nancygreen3705]

It's good to know I wasn't the only one to notice that. There's definitely a disconnect there & somehow I think it deepened after the Dr Phil fiasco. I think the groom-to-be is encouraging the separation. My opinion.

Moms are wise...wiser than you think. Give her some time. I’m not sure what is going on, but make sure in your heart all matters are considered. Both big and small. From my perspective...sometimes your man treats you like his child. You are woman...take ownership of that. I may be wrong and if I am, please forgive me. Love is a connection that does not smothers, but open that all will breathe and bloom. Congratulations and beautiful blessings.🎀✝️✝️✝️💕👣

[@karel3222]

These are exactly my thoughts… her mom has a better insight into her relationship and maybe, is seeing signs that she knows will turn into issues later… I did not like the way he treated her when they were in Poland… it’s like my territory, I dictate. Wishing them the best of luck and hope that we are all wrong.

[@sweetestea]

I wonder what was the FINAL STRAW to make IYAH's mom leave. He sounded a bit RUDE at 7:28 giving Iyah orders on how to walk (for her own wedding). I'm sure he was rude when her mom was in the room too.

Dont worry you guys just remember its your day and anyone who acts out you dont have to allow it and must address it. I have that type of family also who acted out before the wedding day so I did something about it. I called each and every one of them and personally (nice tone) uninvited them; including brothers, sister, and Mom. They knew I would not allow it and they tried me anyway. They tried to trash me but it backfired. People told them they should be ashamed. They apologized to me. I had the best time on my day without them and then I accepted their apologizes. Just dont play into negativity, stand up to it. You will gain respect trust me. Make sure everyone know IT'S YALL'S DAY. Congrats again from Maywood IL.
