[@stinajones9847]

It's amazing that you have been able to ignore societal expectations and really focus on what is important to you as a couple. It's beautiful & inspiring! ❤

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you, that means a lot to us! xx

[@KerryRolls74]

Aaaaw Brogan, my bottom lip dropped as you were ending this video. Hearing you get choked up with sheer happiness/excitement and love for Benji absolutely melted me. I have loved watching you both. Having bad mobility I am pretty isolated, but it is lovely going along on the adventures you both have. So excited for this adventure to start for you both. Definitely soul mates, you just click. Lots of love and best wishes.xx🎉

[@rachaeljones5767]

I can't wait for that video when your showing us your hands wearing your rings and saying WE DID IT XXXX .I've seen it all from the start from the first date , moving in together , house buying , Bonnie and all your travels together. Then Benji's heath & recovery - Brogan you gave him such support & Yes you are truly made for each other XX

[@chloerayson15]

No word of a lie, I remember when you got back from your first date with Benji all those years ago - just as excited for you then as I am now! Can’t wait to follow along on your exceptionally special journey. Wishing you both the most magical time❤

[@microrelic39]

In our wedding planning, trying wedding rings on and seeing a ring on my now husband’s hand was the real punch to the stomach moment when I thought “OMG, this is real - he’s going to be my husband!” You’re so right. Your wedding day is YOUR day. My parents’ wedding was hijacked by their parents and they didn’t have what they wanted so they were incredibly supportive of us making decisions for ourselves. Honestly the best day of my life. I’ve been tearing up throughout this whole video. Make sure you have a big box of tissues and waterproof mascara for your big day!

[@nycbutterfly52]

I think that getting married at sea is a brilliant idea!!! When you talked about seeing the ring on Benji's finger I cried a little. 😊😊😊 Continued love and health from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜

[@kirstyconsidine]

I am so excited for you both! My husband and I eloped just the two of us out in Florida last May, and honestly it was the best decision we ever made. Wishing you and Benji a lifetime of happiness together ❤

[@rebeccaj]

Love that you're doing what you want to do and dont feel pressured by society ❤ None of my family came to my wedding (with the exception of our 11 month old daughter) my husband was working on board ships and we did it in dry dock. It was a simple affair in the registry office in Gibraltar with a drink in a pub then on to a meal in a chinese restaurant. It's our 25th anniversary this year🥰 Our families understood completely and supported our decision ❤ Wishing you a beautiful life together, filled with lovely adventures ❤❤❤

[@lyndseyallison5489]

Oh Brogan, you had me crying, I’ve been watching your vlogs for about 6-7 yrs, and I feel proud of you, you are the most beautiful hearted woman, and Benji is definitely your other half, have the best time xxx

[@kathyfoshay7111]

Shedding tears of happy and joy for you both. Absolutely loved hearing all the bits. Thank you again for sharing. Sending love and a million hugs 🤗 take care

[@kerrykinsxo1]

I've been here way back when you went skiing with your boyfriend when you first started your channel. Its been lovely to see you grow and change & live such a wonderful life. I'm usually a silent watcher but I wanted to wish you both all the best for your special day. It really dose feel special calling someone your husband 🥰

[@flynnlarson8694]

Exchanging vows and putting the ring on my husband's finger was literally the most exciting part of getting married! I love seeing it every day; definitely makes me feel so close to him.

[@shelleyj210]

I’ve been married 6 years this year (together for 13) and it’s still the best day of my life. We spent £6000 on our day: 35 people in the day, 60 in the evening, and had the best day! You don’t have to spend £££ on it, or invite the whole world. Why not sail half way around the world, and not invite anyone!! You two are such a dream 🤗 So, so happy for you and I really can’t bloody wait for these vlogs!! Much love xxx

[@abielliott3731]

So happy for you both! All your old vlogs have been coming up on my recommended recently and I have been watching them, you can tell how smitten you and Benji were from the beginning 🥰 thank you for sharing this all with us xxx

[@loopylee121]

Brogan, I have watched your videos on and off for over 10 years now. I’ve never commented before but I just feel so happy for you to be where you are in life! You have such a beautiful family and such a unique look on life. Thank you for being a little sunshine in our lives ☀️☀️

[@qtpi119]

Getting all teary-eyed while you talk about Benji becoming your husband (20:25)- it really shows the love that you have for each other is so beautiful and genuine. You both are perfect for one another and I am so happy for you both! Thanks for sharing your lives with us- many congratulations and blessings! Can’t wait for you’re amazing wedding/honeymoon adventure!

[@brogantatexo]

He is the best man I know, I feel SO lucky. Thank you so so much! xx

[@krissy12200]

I love this, guys. The pure concept of going away just the two of you is so romantic! My hubby and I felt the same as you, the big wedding just wasn’t for us, so we went away and chose to spend the money on traveling together. I’m so happy that you will be vlogging it too! And btw brogan you are you looking so gorgeous lately. You’re skin is like porcelin! Xx

[@heids2810]

You looked so bursting with happiness in this video,I'm really excited for you guys!!

[@kenzilaurel8674]

Love your plan and I am so excited for you two! ❤ My husband and I got married in Mexico and I still recommend doing a destination wedding to friends who get engaged because it was such an amazing experience.

[@lavernewalters1651]

I think that combining your honeymoon and wedding on a cruise ship is so romantic!

[@candicegill3296]

Being married is one of the best thing I have ever done x we are not prefect and it takes big efforts but it's rewarding and makes a great team for whatever life throw at us. xx so excited for you x

[@nanabear85]

It's been 43 years 16/1 /24 that I've been married and it's still strong I love it and had no family present at our wedding. Remember now it's your time and your lives together, as long as you're not hurting anyone then you go for it, it's your marriage it's about sharing your life with that one special person, you've been through so much together with Benji s health etc , what a wonderful way to start married life sharing those experiences with your best friend in the world and you can always have a super party with your family when you come back. Can't wait to see any videos you post have a wonderful life. Don't ever feel guilty it's your day.

[@brittanyr0613]

I think the music playlist in the room is such a sweet and meaningful thing you could do. Having memories attached to certain songs makes it almost a musical recap of what brought you both to that day and I love that! So happy for you both ❤❤

[@toobydude41]

totally agree :)

[@saramusgrave7876]

Such a wonderful idea to get married on a cruise! Me and my husband got married in Vegas, just us, nearly 5 years ago. We too didn’t want a big wedding and just wanted to have a fun day. We had a lovely family celebration when we got home and it was perfect. Enjoy every minute! 🩷🥳

[@CashStuffWithKristine]

Cannot wait to see what you want to show of your wedding day. We as a family have followed you and benji for 4 years! I hope you are having a Brogan day for yourself to chill and unwind! It must be incredibly stressful right now having to get videos sorted and edited as well as everything at home xx

[@sarahtejansie-jl7kb]

I'm so excited for you both. U truly are made for each other xxx

[@lucytindxll]

It's so refreshing to hear a couple with similar values and thoughts as my partner and I. We fully went in with the idea to book a small wedding and it soon snowballs into something that accommodates everyone elses preferences and you start to lose your own ideals. We've now decided to scrap that altogether and elope! SO excited for you both and to see anything wedding related that you do choose to share online xx

[@cvhamilton5]

I absolutely love that quote you shared "the life you choose to live only needs to make sense to you" thank you so much! ❤

[@tracypatil8841]

Your wedding plans sound like perfection. So happy for you both!! Love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Donnasprice]

Smiling from ear to ear watching this 🥰

[@Cheyenne.Marie17]

26:03 We love so much Brogan! 🥺😭 I’ve been watching you since 2012, I have been here to see you and Benji grow together and I am so happy for you guys! I can’t wait to see all the beautiful vlogs and memories you two will make together on this amazing trip 🥳💕

[@nasreencronje9194]

Beautifully put together and love the excitement you both clearly are feeling. Can not wish you enough happiness, good fortune and the best of health for the future. Your choices are perfect and put together for the best reasons. I hope other young couples learn the value of the choices you have made, and think hard about what they feel is best for them. Fussing on others is what make a wedding stressful, this is one time you need to look inwards. Lots of love to you both.💕🍂🐾

[@lovelysarah367]

I believe that your wedding day is something that you chose to celebrate your partnership, love and commitment, your both going to create some wonderful memories and take lots of pics so you can share snippets at your party when you return xx ❤🎉❤

[@dianacarragher5845]

You are both so sensible in relation to your wedding plans being married on Arcadia i had 12 people to my wedding married a fellow P&O Aus we have been married 50 years we were told it would't last!

[@jomr86]

Do not blame you at all for doing this. My husband and I wanted to get married abroad and didn't because people said they wouldn't come. In hindsight, we should have done it anyway and had the wedding we wanted. I'm really looking forward to your vlogs and Instagram posts. I also cannot believe how long I have been tagging along with you, I remember you meeting Benji! 🥹❤️❤️

[@Leah91__]

From watching even before your first date I whole heartedly agree. The cruise is just you two to a T! I’m so excited for you both!

[@vickygibson1932]

I absolutely love watching you and benj together - you can totally tell how much you both dote on each other … the way you bounce off each other is very hard to come by. I really hope you both have the best day ever and I genuinely can’t wait to see some vlogs from your travels 💜💜 xx

[@NickellesNook]

Love seeing other couples do what they want for their wedding day!!! 🥰 So happy for you both and you’re going to enjoy married life together. My husband and I had our legal wedding just the two of us and three friends in the city we met. Then a few weeks later on our 10th anniversary of when we met, we had a micro wedding with just 14 members of our close family. It was perfect for us and we’re so glad we stuck to our guns. 💖💖💖 P.S Earth, Wind and Fire - September was our exit song, ugh I love that song!

[@nickyriden4461]

Really happy that you are doing it all for you, and not being drawn into what everybody else wants or needs. Have an absolutely fantastic time. Cannot wait to see the pictures and your vlogs❤

[@Cerrie88]

So happy and excited for you both. Can’t wait to see all the vlogs. Totally understand the choices with the no videos for us with the wedding. 100% makes sense. You are choosing for this to be close and quiet for the two of you it wouldn’t make sense to then film and show all of us. You are going to have an incredible day. You are levelling up together x

[@Dopeydora]

I am glad that your families are supportive of you getting married without them being there. I can honestly say that I would be heartbroken if my daughter or son did this.

[@laurencass6449]

So incredibly happy for you both. Your love comes through loud and clear on screen. Your commitment to making the day for you is inspirational to me! 💞💖✨

[@rawlyroo5975]

So glad you thought about what is right for you ❤

[@jackg122slay]

I’m so excited for you two! Don’t feel pressured to film any content on your wedding day because it’s your day ❤❤

[@toobydude41]

These eyes didn't stay dry watching this...and it seems I'm not alone. Bless you guys :)

[@kristinakrzepek3628]

I am so excited for you both! I can't believe this time has finally arrived, and soon you will be Mrs and Mr. How absolutely magical. I'm so excited to see your special day ( what you plan on sharing with us all ) and then beautiful adventures you will have on your honeymoon.

[@KayleighAnne100]

Let's be honest, the main thing we all want to see is you both looking beautiful in your dress and suit. Keep the majority to yourself and maybe just do your loyal fans a photo montage with some of your wedding music x

[@jessicaillingworth9559]

So excited for you both, we had our honeymoon on Britannia and loved it. You can’t describe the feeling of being on those ship’s.

[@ArnieRelffe-Arnold]

I love this vlog.....seeing the excitement and emotion from both of you is amazing. If ever I've seen two people that should be together then it's you two. I can't wait to see the posts when your incredible adventure begins. I really hope we may bump in to you both sometime on a cruise ship in the future. Many many congratulations to you both xxx

[@creativereindeer]

Love that you’re making it special for you folks and so pumped it’s all come together!!

[@shegs1257]

I've been married for 15 years and looking back i wished we just done our own thing. Dont get me wrong I had a fanstasic day but I done alot to please my family and put their feelings and wants before ours. Your life and your special day- enjoy and have a fabulous time.

[@Benandmycat]

So good that you are both having the wedding day you want ! Love hearing your reasons for being where it is . Makes it so special your wedding day is on the anniversary of you meeting (my husband and I did the same) 😊

[@ChristineLever]

Love this video so much! Also, excellent surname choice 👏🏽💃🏽😂

[@teddyhewittfoundation5023]

It seems like forever ago you got engaged and yet it feels like yesterday too. Have the most amazing wedding. Take all of our love with you both, have the most amazing time. Take it ALL in. Xxx

[@RosierDays]

So so lovely to watch this Brogan 🥰My partner and I don’t feel like a traditional wedding is for us and we really share some of the same sentiments as you and Benj about what the day means to us. You’ve both been inspiring 💡🥰 Wishing you the most fantastic wedding day and honeymoon!

[@HelenReynolds-ho6iz]

Aw, I’m just so excited for you both! I know you will have the most wonderful, relaxed wedding day 😍✨

[@hannahpoulter2057]

Oh Brogan I am sooo excited for you both! You are glowing and are going to make such a beautiful bride. I got married in nov and can confirm it’s the best day you will ever live, my jaw hurt for weeks after from smiling soooo much!! Wishing you all the happiness in the world xxx 💍 💍 ⛴️ xxx

[@agnesepuppo4838]

So happy for you both and wishing you the best! We decided to marry with just our parents and 4 of our clostest friends, unfortunately a lot of people didn't understand our decision, but as you said it's your wedding and it's just about you two. Enjoy every second of it!!❤

[@TheDreamerHelen]

Hi Brogan and Benji (and Bonnie-girl too), I loved this Vlog, to see you both where you are now and how happy you are is just so lovely and I'm so so so so pleased for you. Can't wait to see the Vlogs and completely respect that you want some of your Wedding Day just for you - I wish you all the love and happiness in the world, sending love and hugs, Helen xXx

[@karenlavis8661]

Aww that was lovely Brogan and Benji. So much to look forward too. Cant wait to see you exciting journey. All the very best to you both xxxx

[@ginastannard9614]

Hi guys , your a lovely young couple , all the very best , looking forward to any wedding vlogs you might do . I met my hubby at 13 , got engaged at 16 , married at 18 , we are now 65 and still going strong , even though we could murder each sometimes lol . I’m sure you two will be the same ❤

[@lesleyblaikie7031]

Enjoy your day - it’s your day together. Cherish every moment xx You are perfect for each other x

[@KS-yi2ih]

It sounds just lovely. The happiness you find in each other is beautiful.

[@janinewacker7684]

It was so touching, when you said you are going to marry your best friend and soulmate..... hold this great gift close.....💗💗💗💗💗 Lot of greetings from Germany 😍

[@katestowe]

This whole vlog made be emotional 🥹🥹 so excited for you both 🎉🩵🩷

[@HelloHardwicke]

Our wedding song was September, as we got together and got married on the 21st September 😅 so I got all nostalgic when you said that was on your playlist. This sounds like the most beautiful day, and you're both going to look amazing and have the happiest start to married life by having such a 'you' day ❤️

[@conor.delaney22]

I’ve been watching you since 2015/16 and seen your relationship with Benji blossom into an incredible duo. Sending the utmost of love on this magical experience. Couldn’t imagine either of ye having a better wedding than at sea 🚢. Sending the most positive vibes and positive energy. ❤️

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you SO much Conor! This is so kind and sweet of you! xx

[@debchapman591]

So excited for you both! Glad you get to do something that is truly just for the two of you! 💗💗💗

[@natasha7761]

literally cannot wait for these packing videos!

[@michelleg-7]

Well I’ve grinned and cried my way through this vlog❤❤ it all sounds perfect 👌 and there is nothing like waking up the next morning as husband and wife 😊

[@bronniepaterson4694]

As far as I’m concerned you two are doing it SO right. It’s about you both…committing to a future together.looking out for each other. So much stress is taken away doing it like this ( in some ways) there’s always some degree of stress with a holiday let alone a wedding… Loved ones will or should understand that it’s you choice and be happy for whichever way you choose to do it…. So happy for you both…… Thanks for sharing everything…. Looking forward to everything So happy for you both….I feel really close to you both ( sounds weird) but I’ve enjoyed the journey of The Wedding so much…👍🥂🇬🇧

[@rachelattridge690]

Congratulations to the two of you, I have loved following along and very excited to see your vlogs. It’s amazing when you do “you” for your wedding, my husband and I done “us” when we got married and it was the best decision we ever made and are looking forward to renewing on a beach for our 20 year anniversary in a few years. Love to you both xx

[@lynseyallen5636]

It’s amazing that you are doing this ❤ you and Benji are made for each other and I wish you all the very best for wedding day. Lots of love ❤🎉

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey sweetie 🤗 why was I getting emotional watching this 😭 I 1000% agree it is clear to see the love you and Benj have for each other, it’s so so lovely to see ☺️ you putting ‘just the two of us’ reminded me of Carrie and and Big saying ‘just us two’ 😊 It is honestly going to be such a special day and I think you referring to Benj as ‘my husband’ and him calling you ‘his wife’ it’s just going to give you both all the feels. I can’t wait to hear all about it but definitely focus on your day and taking it all in and living and enjoying every moment. If you get footage great but if not, that is absolutely ok - as long as you tell us 😝 Packing video next - yay! Take care sweets 🩷 xxx

[@saraspalding5572]

About to celebrate our 35th anniversary in February…hindsight I would’ve loved going off on our own for an adventure. Proud of y’all doing what makes you happy!

I’m sure it will be a really amazing day and of course travelling to all those places too will be wonderful . Wishing you both all the luck in the world , you are so perfect for eachover x

[@kathleenstubbs6572]

Aww Brogan what a lovely video ! So thrilled for you both and wish you all the love and luck in the world ! My husband and I eloped and are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary in June ( in Disneyworld of course !) we have had a wonderful life together and I know you and Benji will too xxxx

[@catherineholmes3839]

I'm so thrilled for you both, its going to be an amazing experience. My husband and I had a very small wedding, we took our closest family to the Lake District for a weekend as we felt a big wedding wasn't for us. It was perfect. I also didn't have a hen do either. I didn't really have any close female friends then. I married my best friend, just like you are. ❤️

[@victoriasant4624]

LOVED everything about this, you two are couple goals xxx

[@Lucyloo-oi8yc]

Loved this video❤ seeing you get emotional made me feel emotional 😂😂😂 I’m so happy for you and benji ❤ can’t wait to follow the wedding/travel journey ❤

[@louisedowling4549]

It was just the 2 of us when we got married and was the best decision! We got ready together and then drove down the coast for a mini moon ❤

Sure did

[@HareLife]

I am so excited to follow on this adventure with you both! All the best for your magical nuptials! x

[@rhiangoddard9123]

Eloping is the best thing my partner and I ever did. We eloped to the Isle of Skye and had a 2 week holiday for a fraction of the cost the wedding cost and the photos… you just couldn’t get them from a venue wedding.

[@marytokatlidis1487]

Brogan & Benji wishing you both many blessings on your special day and there after😍💐
