Never thought I'd be sitting on the couch with my spouse watching a wedding video on KZbin of two people I've never met while shedding tears of happiness. We are so happy for both of you, congratulations!! Also, Gene losing the ring in the ocean is incredibly on brand. Now we need the follow up where Kari somehow finds it.

Rain in my culture means the start of something great. Congrats!

The grandma story choked me up man. 😢 My grandma got to make it to my impromptu wedding before she passed. That was sweet of her to get that pin for you. We did our wedding at the beach, with no permit we found a spot, and then my mom and Dad performed the ceremony as we were surrounded by our siblings and close family. This weekend makes 10 years. Congrats to you both, I've watched for a while. I'm happy for you both. One of my favorite channels. I enjoy watching you all on this channel.

[@ToonTVDerek]

Guys im literally crying on the treadmill right now 😭 that was so beautiful! Congrats you two! And so happy the puppers is making a recovery!

[@Alimostudio]

Well, I have been a videographer, and a wedding videographer for 10 years, and I've been watching your videos for the last 6 years so you are one of my KZbin mentors. I didn't expect so much drama, so much emotion, so much serenity in a video in wedding video. You two did awesome. You are now my number one couple. Thank you for sharing your best moments with the world to show that true love exists and can be achieved by the simplest things possible. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

[@princesfpvdrones]

I second this!

[@phrog_tv]

COngratulations!!!!! Such a beautiful video I definitely cried at a bunch of different points. I don't know why this video got to me so much but I've been watching this channel for a number of years now-- watching the sagas of your lives together through moving in together, Gene breaking his elbow, the loss of lefty, renovating a house together-- so many beautiful, sad, funny, and genuine moments that you shared with us. I know that we are just humble observers in your unique lives, but I cannot express the joy I felt watching this video and seeing all of those moments culminate into this unbelievably stunning, heartwarming, and perfect day of love. It felt like watching two of my oldest friends getting married (in the least parasocial way possible), and it gave me hope for my life too. To believe again that someone could smile the way that Kari smiles at Gene during their vows. To have such wonderful supportive friends like Sam to be there for you every moment of the way. I am so unbelievably excited to see what else life has in store for this dynamic duo. Thank you for sharing these very real and very human moments with us. Congratulations again

[@N0TALLE]

Im so happy for you two!

[@_pierre_]

Know, dear fellow, that with Kari you have the main prize. She really has a heart of gold. Be considerate of each other and experience your wonderful life. Very happy to see that your dog is doing a little better.

[@gardnep]

Congratulations, what a blast. I had 44 years before I lost her last year. It’s great to marry your best friend. Enjoy and savour each day. Just tell her you love her each and every day because one day she may not be there. That is the best video you have ever done, and the first on that has not been dominated by Gene, with Kari’s quiet, strong voice calming the waters. What a great day. Thanks.

[@jscursions]

OMG! So many parts of this video made me cry - starting with how beautiful Kari looked to the gift of grandma's pin, the video pledging your love to Kari, the light during a hard rain, the rainbow after a hard rain to the sun shining on your beautiful day to ending it with Ticky walking again on his own. Many happy moment tears for sure! Your day and your lives were and are truly filled with many blessings, for sure! I'm so so happy for you both. And BTW, I hear it's good luck when it rains on your wedding day and I can see the luck that surrounded you .both from the start of your day to the end. Congratulations! Last, congrats on the 1.01M+ subs. This just goes to shows how much your content you and your partners provide is appreciated. Love. you both! Love your team! Thank you for sharing your beautiful day.

[@Triforcefilms]

Imagine the stress of being the photographer at potato jets wedding, and every single person there is a pro shooter just looking over your shoulder.

[@ajdsp]

God bless you Mr. & Mrs. Potato Jet !!! What a wonderful storybook wedding !!! I also lost my wedding ring, but it was nearly 20 years later, after losing a lot of weight, on a hike together on our anniversary in the Green Mountains of Vermont where we live. Your wedding photos are FANTASTICALLY GORGEOUS.

[@swomper005]

Kari and Gene, I want to wish you both congratulations and a lifetime of love and happiness! From watching your videos throughout the years, I can see the love and support you two share for one another. I have been married for almost 30 years to my best friend. I see a lot of the same qualities in companionship that you two share, as my wife and I do. This tells me that you both will have a long and happy life together. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. The past six months have been a little stressful here at home while my wife and I deal with my newly developed heart problems and getting to see your Wedding video brought some happiness to my day. Again, congrats and stay happy!

[@davidsamuels4246]

Rain on your wedding day is good luck! Yes, I agree it always clears at the right time. I lost my wedding ring struggling in the water after a windsurfing breakdown on my wife's birthday, UGH! Still together and celebrating our 39th anniversary next month. You two are on track for a great life together in my book.

[@BreakItYourself]

Haha omg Gene losing your ring. The most Potato Jet thing ever 😂 I'm so happy for yall! Congratulations! Now make some babies! 😂

[@dicekolev5360]

WHy you guys have to conclude everything with babies... reproducing might not be everyone's goal in life :D

[@BreakItYourself]

@@dicekolev5360 because children are the greatest thing ever. I want everyone to get to experience the joy of children.

[@ROAMitRALPH]

I love this!!! Congrats again to you and Kari! 🎉 If you need someone to swim down there and find your ring, you know who to call. Anyone but me 🤣

[@mathanachhakchhuak8680]

Yay Congratulations Gene and Kari 🎉🎉🎉

[@studio-era]

Came here from the drone review where you crashed it on a cliff and had to repel down to retrieve it. My wife and I loved watching you both meet life with a sense of humor and love for each other. We wish you never forget your time together is limited, and you enjoy every moment of it.

[@lyndonlabayan]

I'm so happy for you guys. The wedding is really about everyone. They celebrate you but you celebrate everyone. Congrats a trilliion times over!

[@JTStudios-Cinematography]

Congratulations on your wedding, been here since 2000 subs and even then we thought you were perfect for each other. We wish you two the best, happiest life that could ever exist - the JT Studios Channel

[@amoakogeorge]

I’ve been watching your videos for over 4 years now, am so happy for your guys. The both of you are such an inspiration.

[@bw1tney]

Congratulations!!!! All of your subs feel like we've been part of this journey and couldn't be happier for you both. And, that tripod is so exciting, as a corporate and wedding filmmaker, I can't wait to get that!

[@lindalawson4296]

This has got to be the best wedding video I've seen. I loved your attitude and the vibe of the event. You two are a great couple. Thank you for sharing your important day with us.

[@itsmahdisadeghi]

I did not expect to get emotional and cry during this video. We're really happy for you guys. Congratulations. Hope you two have a great life together and be healty and happy!

[@MataHaji]

Congrats guys!! Crazy how some of us have been following through soo much development in your life. Ive been watching since your old apartment in LA, to the rental house in Sherman Oaks, then the beach and now your own home! I had a similar trek with my wife. Anyways, congrats again!!!

[@WilliamBurdine]

As a Wedding Photographer, I am so amused by your story and it's moments like these where all things come together in unreal shots that have everyone in tears... and then the laughter as you narrate the story. Congrats you both Gene and Kari for an amazing adventure and those that will come in the beautiful years ahead as your souls grow closer. #TeammatesforLife I look forward to meeting you both as well as Mateo and Paula at Distrito Coffee on a future 1st Thursday.

[@chavads1991]

I became a subscriber during the pandemic and let me tell you, yall helped me so much through the years. I am super happy for yall and I truly wish yall from the bottom of my heart a beautiful life together.

Gene my man. Been here 5 years now and I am proud of you. Ur channel isn't to me just about gear but about Life. Now wonder its is my favourite thing to watch.

[@natashamalasha]

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying! So beautiful. So happy for you two. Congrats! ❤

[@alexeivaningen]

Never thought i'd be watching a Potato Jet and being ripped through every emotion. HUUUUGE dog lover family here and have always loved Chickie and Pita so the roller coaster started early but then the grandma pin, and the stunning scenery, and the vow video.. HOLY CRAP I was a mess!! Thank you to both of you for being so so so amazing. Always been a fan but def a fan for life.

[@and16942]

Watched your vids for 5 years now.. can’t believe how far I’ve watched you go. So happy for you two. Felt like I was right there for the journey both the ups and downs. Congrats!

[@kdonoghue]

I am so happy for you two crazy kids! Thank you for sharing this, it has been quite a journey since I started following your feed over five years ago. Santa Barbara is my town and I have hosted a few dinners in that room at the Lark. You could not have picked a better place! Gene, don't feel bad, I lost my ring in the first year of my marriage. You will get an another one and it will always carry the same meaning. Your ceremony looked amazing, you two really brought the weather on your shoulders. What an awesome day for the both of you. Congrats!

[@ROBB_DEEP]

Congrats! Happy for you guys….and the dogs lol. ❤️

[@DreamslideProductions]

I'm Def not a follow a internet couple type of guy. I like camera and audio gear vids. I'm not into much about people's personal lives. But man I could not be happier for a couple I've never met before. I saw this on my for you feed and clicked immediately! I love how you 2 are with each other, I love how there are no airs of putting on a personality, I love how your wedding was very "yinz" (as Pittsburgh peeps would say) . Man thank you for sharing, thank you for inspiring not just artwork but life goals, and congrats to new couple! Keep being awesome ❤❤

[@BitsNBytes1010]

Congratulations to you both! Happy for you. Wishing you both a happy married life. Cheers!

[@nicholasgrunza]

Why do I feel like my childhood best-friends just got married? Congrats you guys, this is so beautiful and the wedding looked amazing! Kari was the most beautiful bride, and Gene looked like a tack!

[@GBOY185]

I remember stumbling across your channel because I was planning to go to Iceland soon after you went. I haven't left your channel since. Congratulations to you both. Happy for you guys. I plan on popping the question soon and seeing this helps...

[@clucida]

There is a french saying "Mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux !" which means "rainy day wedding, happy wedding" ! Wish you all the best from Paris ! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Love you both ! ❤❤❤

[@markuskoob9335]

I've been following this channel and therefore - indirectly - a part of your life for several years now. We all have seen you both move towards this significant new step in your life journey, and I'm incredibly happy for you guys, that everything worked out so well - even though the signs didn't look so good (weather-wise) right before your big day. I wish you nothing but the best for your future! 🤗And for sure, I'm also very happy to see your dog seems to be doing better! 🐶

[@irvingmartinez98]

I cried. Thanks. This was beautiful! I’ve been watching you guys for the better part of five years. Crazy how I don’t know you yet I still cried at your wedding haha

[@AlliandWill]

Happy for you guys, congrats!!

[@AuthenTech]

So happy for you guys!! Looks like it was such a beautiful and blessed day! 🎉

[@SeanHelmsMedia]

So happy for you guys. Been with my bride for 26 years and we are always together. I hope you have the same wonderful closeness for the rest of your days. Nurture this union forever.

[@phlpphrr1742]

I love everything about this. The video itself and your awesome commentaries convey so much optimism, authenticity, love and appreciation for each other and your loves ones that it filled my heart. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing this moment in such a beautiful way, it's truly inspiring.

[@kaneclements7761]

The world at the moment is rather less than inspiring. And then you two pitch up with a tale of love, hope, care and optimism. Absolutely top. I wish you a long and happy life together.

[@DavidParker]

Oh jeeze the video barely started and I’m already crying

[@TheArtOfStreetPhotography]

Congratulations, all those little miracles of the day are just the start of a wonderful journey!

[@DLivingston]

I love this. Love that everyone came together to make your day so amazing. Thanks for sharing with us as well.

[@milosnovakov2681]

Big congrats to both of you! Feels amazing to be able to follow your journey this close up, you made it feel like we are all a part of this. Thank you for all the awesomeness

[@bitucoo]

I choked up so many times in this video. Congrats and much happiness to you two from the bottom of my heart! I've been seeing your videos for 7 years and it's strange how I felt emotional like you're a close one. Maybe you're are in some way and I'm glad that you guys had such an awesome moment to remember for the rest of your lives. It was memorable to me S2.

[@RyoHazuki224]

7:35 What a magical moment, the light shining through the redwoods with the rain coming through! Oh my god a photographer couldn't plan that in a million years!! Pure luck and magic! This video has me all choked up, it really hit me. I'm so happy for you two, it would be my dream if I could ever have a love as half as magical as the love that you two share! I think the rain was a nice omen, like it was cleansing the past, making way for the light of the future of you both together! Congratulations, Gene and Kari! Go Chiki!!

[@ArberBaqaj]

You made a grown ass man cry. Best of wishes to you guys! You got a keeper.

[@snapitstudios2218]

Congratulations Gene & Kari!! The wedding looked truly beautiful and special. May your love continue to grow and may your future be full of more happiness and joy. All the best!

[@PDRChris]

Where would I be without this channel? I'm so happy for you two from over here in NH. Congrats!

[@Playerdue]

Congratulations to you both!!! 🎉 Small weddings are the best! We also got married recently (in November) and planned the wedding in 2 months in a small and cozy way!

[@splakmeister]

I cried. Multiple times. For different reasons. But they were happy tears. Thanks for sharing this with us, Gene and Kari!

[@vondooooom6249]

Wow, what an amazing day! You deserved the perfect day, and I'm so glad you got it. Thanks for sharing with us, in your usual candid and charming style. 🥰

[@mostlyvsometimesme]

Congrats Kari and Gene. Wedding days can be stressful if you’re planning it yourselves. Mine was no different. I look back on our day and always think, wow it turned out just perfect. Seems like yours did too. Again, congrats and I wish you both many years of love and happiness together

[@don-xl]

@PotatoJet Congratulations to you both!! I'm glad that everything worked out for the most part. The photo shots and video coverage is amazing!!! You both look fantastic! Sorry to hear about the ring, but the relationship is what matters; the ring is a symbol of your union. Wishing you both many years of happiness, friendship and togetherness. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you

[@Brown-Bird]

I'm not big on weddings, but this was such a beautiful story I watched this video three times back to back. Congratulations!

I love you both for being real and down to earth. I started watching your channel at the start of the pandemic and it has been my official source for reviews since. Kari is one of the reasons why people watch your vids, and Chickie and of course, Sam and Dylan. Such wonderful guys as your "office mates", great team! Congrats and grow more potatoes.

[@juaninamilli]

[@cestycinou]

I am really happy for you. Your video made me remenesenxe my own wedding. It was raining as well and we had to make a small walk through gardens. Wedding dress of my wife was covered in mud but we didn't really cared because it was the best wedding. And I also lost a ring. But it was at least almost ten years after the wedding 😂 wish you a lifetime of happiness.

[@shinrosparrow20]

[@popeyerubi1981]

The wind was your wingman that day. It blew away the clouds that were carrying the rain. And it blows Kari’s veil which makes it more epic in the photos and videos.

[@lobanrahmantonoy4130]

I usually do not watch wedding videos as it was my profession some days ago. To me, this is one of the best wedding videos I have seen.
