Making My WEDDING DRESS! (FINAL EPISODE!) 💃

[@merulava]

Girl you had literally the complete romcom wedding episode. The dressmaking time limit, the cancelation, the spontaneous get married moment, the small ceremony. That's crazy.

[@mauroc1896]

This felt just like the wedding in b99 and i fucking loved it

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

It's kinda why I used the parks and rec theme for the sewing friends intro. It is a sitcom I love to watch when I'm stressed and Leslie and Ben had an extremely similar wedding in it! And the friendships in that show are so pure! Plus me and luci are PEAK Leslie and Ben so it all made sense haha

this is all i aspire to in life

[@WynythePooh]

My husband's mom walked him down the aisle too! I am glad to see other people doing it too!

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

Awesome!!! I was _insistent_ hahaha. It made me feel icky to feel like I was being "given away" by a man to another man like property! Also glad we had that all planned before the rehearsal-turned-wedding tho! 😉

[@ArsonBeanTanks]

@@AnnikaVictoria24 my husband had his mom walk him in, and then I had both my parents walk me in. It was more like "bringing families together" than "giving me away". 😍

[@kitchensinkchronicles3272]

KelseyToast that’s a really beautiful way of putting it!

[@JuliaSkottMakes]

In Sweden, the couple usually walk down together. (Also, you looked lovely. Congrats!)

[@WynythePooh]

@@AnnikaVictoria24 I felt the same way! My mom really wanted to walk me down the aisle though. So we just had both our moms walk us. I am so glad you shared your journey, I have been a fan for such along time! Your wedding dress was gorgeous ❤

[@Christmas52]

I'll be honest, I cried watching this. - The stress of the timeline - The happiness of finishing the dress - The disappointment of a pandemic cancelling your wedding - The joy of finally getting married That. Was. A. Rollercoaster. If I could send you spoons I would

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

I needed so much recuperation haha! I'm so lucky we did get married in the end ^_^

[@ferraoh]

"If I could send you spoons I would" is the nicest sentiment :')

[@MathIsMagical]

The look on your face during the handshake is “I married this man.” My folks have each had that look on their faces over their long and happy marriage. Good luck and congratulations to the both of you.

[@serena7261]

Of all the delayed weddings due to mrs.rona, yours is my most anticipated.

[@christinelavallee57]

I’m still so grateful you didn’t have to postpone being married. You deserved to be together and happy before this all fell apart. Love you both

[@Oleeh-oleeh]

I'm usually not super sentimental about wedding but after watching this entire saga, I just started crying when the release of the wedding came. I'm so happy that you and your lovely friends managed to finish the dress in time and that you and your now husband were at least able to get married before the limitations were worse. I wish you a wonderful marriage.

[@wiki862]

Eeeek. I’m so exited that your final update is out. Your channel is so entertaining, and creative. You are my inspiration for staying active with a mobility disorder, and I can’t thank you enough for that. Please, never stop creating and being you.

I love the Sewing Friends! Petition for more Sewing Friends content. It gives me lively friendly, inclusive and supportive vibes.

[@neo.noni.]

This series has been so cute, cute but also stressful

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

I honestly didn't want to finish editing it! I miss my friends so much - but it was really lovely to be able to giggle for hours as I edited our silliness into something that made sense haha. I am so glad you enjoyed the series!

[@susie4560]

I need a season 2 of sewing friends.

[@lailabaf]

In brazil is tradition that the women is walked by the father, the men by the mom and the other two parent walk in with each other. Also the bridesmaids walk dow before everyone else so there is a lot of walking! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jordanjackson788]

That's how we do it in america besides the part where the parents walk together

[@persomnus]

@@jordanjackson788 maybe the mother walking the groom is regional, because I haven't seen that in the PNW. The groom stands on the podium with the minister from the very start. I like that though! Much more equal and very very sweet.

[@jordanjackson788]

@@persomnus here the priest goes first, then the mother walks him in, and he stands on the podium and the rest of the wedding party comes in, then last is the bride, typically walked by the father, but it can actually be anyone close to you.

[@lua_satik]

hahahahhaha, é verdade, tinha até esquecido disso

[@jime_]

@@jordanjackson788 since brazil is also america, this comment is accurate

[@butadara]

Glad I could see the end of this even when things didn't go the original plan. Taking all the advice given in the series. Being a spoonie bride is a bit changing out of the normal "wedding"

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

I also planned a resting room with a mattress in it for me to go and escape to, I hope I'll be able to have the big party one day because I had a lot of little spoonie hacks for it! 😝

THE PHOTOS. Oh my god. Especially the one(s) where you're in your wheelchair. Beautiful.

[@deamonessdeeds]

Taking wedding photos on a different day is such a clever thing to do! As someone who has very, very limited energy I'm definitely going to do that if I get married. Also your dress was gorgeous and your sewing friends are all amazing!

Annika, it had been awhile since I watched your videos. You have grown into a beautiful young woman. Your dress is simply SUPERB!!! Having your friends share into the process is a priceless experience! The memories will last you a lifetime. I wish you the best together, you look very happy. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment .

Ahhh I love this. Sewing Friends is my favorite! I love all the little details in the credits, and intro, and all that! Seeing all of you happy together, goofing off and getting things done, is really comforting right now. I love how diverse of a group you seem to have, too! Your dress turned out phenomenally well!

[@OopsOlliePopp]

This series was probably my favourite on KZbin to watch and I’m so glad it came to a happy end! Even despite all the strangeness and how sad it is that your main ceremony was cancelled, I think you made light out of a weird situation and it’s awesome to see! And the dress turned out AMAZING, you looked so stunning! I loved seeing all your friends come together to help finish it on time, you’re all so sweet💕 sending lots of love for all of you and I hope you get to have your other ceremony soon too!!!! Thank you for an amazing series!

[@beslanderin5229]

I'm so glad you had planned the photos separately and could do the wedding a week ahead of schedule. I saw the full story video when it came out but somehow missed this one. Congratulations. Hopefully one day, maybe on your first anniversary, 🤞you can have the party you planned.

This ending was so cute and teary-eye 🥺 I had to postponed my baby’s baptism and had a very small close family first bday. You guys will get your big wedding filled with all the people you love ❤️ you guys look so sweet together in your wedding pictures and don’t worry about the rings lol I’ve been married almost 10 years and we wore them a years time because of work and not wanting to lose them. Also that whole Luther bit was hilarious 😂

[@tiffanyaching7741]

This video like the last one makes me so happy. It kind of reminds me of the movie Little women in some ways. There is this positive energy and harmony. Like a sense of unterstanding each other and being relaxed like you only do when you're all women. Friendships like this and especially between women are so underrepresented in media and I don't know why but it just makes me feel so at peace with myself. It just brings out so much self love in me. Like all these doubts I have about myself, like we all do sometimes, they just vanish.
