Shaaba: “…and my bi identity…” Jamie: “Bidentity.” 3:00 The face says it all. So adorable haha

(I'm not trying to be rude.) Out of the current 41 comments why are you 14 of them???

[@imarrywhales]

I believe you two are in love. Sometimes I wonder if couples are really there for eachother or if they're just swept up in the excitement. You know like, "this is really easy making everything about ourselves! We get so much attention for spending our money! We love showing off all our stuff to all our friends!" Etc. What I like to see more of is, "we really like eachother. We thought this through. We're committed to eachother. We talk and communicate everyday. We are in love." And I think you two are on the right track. Congratulations!

In terms of getting married, apart from the delay it caused, covid also helped with my wedding. I am American and my husband is Scottish, and having to have a traditional wedding so the legitimacy of our relationship wasn't questioned was giving me anxiety, because a wedding is just so unimportant to me. We got married at the council building with his mum and gran for witnesses, and to video it so my family could see, and it was such a relief. I have so much respect for people who have the vision and drive to make these things happen. You keep talking about how you wanted simple and small, but I'd have had panic attacks trying to put your beautiful day together, even with having so many supportive people helping make it happen. It's so neat to see and learn about what went into it, and the results must be so satisfying to look back on. From what you've posted of it, your personalities are there in every detail. Congrats!

[@zorin3993]

In the process of planning our British-Mauritian fusion wedding, this was useful! Though it's definitely harder to plan the stuff we want to do in Mauritius as quite an untraditional couple and 50 max guests!

[@ThatOnePencilCase55]

Omg I hope you enjoy/enjoyed your wedding!

[@NOAHFINNCE]

jamie r u joking i was so stressed i was like “fuck he lost the money” IT WAS CONVINCING

[@mxbones9245]

This was so great to see, my partner and I are eloping soon, but are having a wedding celebration in a few years* and it’s really fun being able to see your wedding journey- especially since my partner and I are also queer/mixed race! Congrats and lots of love to you both💕 *we’re taking so much time because we’re hand making our own wedding cloths and doing everything ourself including making the furniture

[@anikaphillips1372]

That's so exciting, I wish you the best of luck.

[@megalomania1646]

I love your idea! Best of luck 💕

[@ekl1457]

I love that you guys are so honest an open! My actual wedding (special circumstances lockdown) cost about £3000 everything included. Then probably another £1000 14 months later (was supposed to be 12 months but we both had covid on our one year anniversary) for a smallish party. However we had 2 cakes that were both gifted to us by different people! So we saved a ton there.

[@TransGuyShane]

I felt Jamie's disappointment when shaaba didn't react to Bidentity lol ♡ I've been following Jamie and shaaba since about the beginning of Jamie's channel, their relationship gives me so much hope ❤️

[@featheredskyblue]

Having planned my wedding last year, it's really interesting to hear you break down the costs for your day and how you made your decisions. It's always lovely to get to know the things that each couple cares about in their wedding. Another huge factor in venue costs that I think it's important to mention is the area where you get married. Some of the venues I looked at in the metro area where I live were five times the cost or more compared similar venues in more rural areas.

[@Cernoise]

The most expensive part of our wedding was just getting me there, after BA cancelled my flight at the last minute. 😄 A piece of advice one of our guests gave boiled down to “don’t eat stale cake”; i.e., enjoy that wedding cake now instead of after it’s been in the freezer for a year. You can buy new cake for your anniversary! And buying cake is a perfect couple bonding activity, if you ask me.

[@tamaxwell7]

Hell yes! Thank you for making this kind of wedding content! Honest wedding cost videos are so needed! My husband and I got married last year and spent about $6,000 US but we DIY'ed like everything. I made all of the decor and centerpieces (crochet'ed flowers) and catered it. The only thing we didn't DIY were our outfits.

[@winterpagel216]

I love that you both focused on what you wanted as far as fitting your cultures, values and all around making sure you and your guests were comfortable and having fun. It sounds like a lovely weekend of wedding celebrations & I can't wait to see the pictures!!! :D

[@LizTiddington]

I also cry when flowers die! Artificial (or dried) bouquet is such a good idea! 😍😍

[@byecatsstacey7467]

I'm so happy the day you two had been planning and waiting for over 3 years finally arrived! 💜 And that everyone got to have a celebration of the joy, love and companionship you two share! 💞💕💞 SO looking forward to all the wedding photos and vids, tho, don't get me wrong😉

[@Goldlucky13]

you two are so precious & i look forward to one day having a supportive and lovely spouse the way each of you are so supportive and lovely to each other

[@connie6545]

I just love you both! I have been popping in (four months after the fact) to let you know how happy I am that you made your own way, and to see how happy you are! Love never fails!!

[@pmbluemoon]

You definitely deserved a great wedding after waiting so long! And your strong love and understanding for each other shines through in your eyes as well 😍🥰

[@raylightbown4968]

The happiness from you and Jamie was infectious and delightful. 💝💝💖💖💝💝

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Shaaba was the Main Character of a Mainstream Hindi Movie: The Mehendi was at a Hall, everyone was happy and there was merrymaking. It’s one spectacular song sequence shy of being perfect.

[@maayanpraiss1541]

omg no Jamie’s sadness when she didn’t hear his joke 😢

[@LCcoolcraft]

I can't begin to describe how happy I am for you! I saw the vlog of the wedding and it was awesome! Congratulations!

[@miloraoof7654]

Congratulations to you both! You are such a well matched couple!

[@SarahHalina]

I am so happy that you both had a fabulous wedding. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness. I am relatively new to both yours and Jamie's channels, but I am already loving it all.

[@nicokelly6453]

It sounds like yall found some great suppliers, I loved hearing the breakdown.

[@sallyomahony1108]

Both of your outfits were wonderful, but how much did Shaaba’s mehndi outfit weigh? The embroidery was gorgeous, but it made my knees ache just looking at it. Much love to you both.xxx

[@katherinestephens9645]

Congrats...so happy u finally got to get married. It looks like a wonderful day

[@laulutar]

One of my siblings -in-law had a wedfest type of wedding when they got married about 5 years ago. It was SOOO expensive (even though they had it on some family land), and the setup and take down were so labour intensive. They enjoyed it, though, so that's what counts.

[@mariamaa2823]

What the royal Mahal is down the road from me!! Makes me so happy you guys shared your lovely supportive values aligned suppliers. WAY ahead for me but you know what why not check it out 😂.

[@TheKellijuana]

That Bridal Henna!!

[@papi_manny]

Here from a video from 4 years ago in his channel 🤣 it's so odd. But I am so excited to see this video now ❤️❤️

[@nelly5376]

Interesting to compare with my own wedding, which wasn't in the UK. Everything cost the same, but in our local currency. So it was 1000 for the photographer, for example. Though, cakes are VERY expensive, and flowers too. My husband wanted real flowers, so that inflated the cost a little bit, but it can really range. Heard from other brides in my home country flowers can go for upwards of 3k, which I think is crazy

[@MsMinnieification]

Jamie has an amazing smile, perfect teeth😍

[@mariahgeiger-williams9230]

Weddings are so different in your area than mine! Fascinating! Thank you for sharing.

[@cicelyamelia]

It’s so weird to see you guys talking about bridal shops and groomsman shops in Colch! I used to see them every time I went into town until I went to uni (and still do whenever I go home😂) just a weird shock to the system to see them in this video!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Both of you chose the most Dharma Productions/YRF Wedding Venue ever 🎉

[@kacee_is_bored]

watching this video has taught me just how expensive weddings are where i live wow!! You guys paid wayyyy less than even the cheapest most minimal options here in San Diego

[@sargunhanda6706]

Can you please make a video about what you wish had been different about your wedding? Or what you wish you had known beforehand?

[@PokhrajRoy.]

6:11 OMG DID JAMIE GO THROUGH ‘JOOTA CHURAYI’ (stealing the Groom’s shoes in exchange for money)?

[@isla_theegg]

u guys are so beautiful together, congrats!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

If you’re racist, that’s already a terrible way to do business. That’s just discrimination. Isn’t that unconstitutional?

[@deadlymelody27]

We dont have a constitution in the UK. Thats america. Although we do have laws against hate crimes

[@pcatma]

There's no such thing as a constitution in the UK, but we do have laws against discrimination. Race, religion, sexual orientation and gender reassignment all belong to what's known as "protected characteristics" (as well as some others) - basically it's illegal to discriminate against anyone for any of those characteristics, and if you can prove you have been denied a service or made to pay more (etc) because of them, then it's illegal and you could sue

[@applesandoranges9916]

it would be a perfect world if laws and constitutions stopped racism😂 but yeah it’s a stupid business decision.

[@lisamatthews1577]

Agh, we’re having having a celebrant and a hand fasting!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The common grouse usually is those awkward shots of people eating food. If I had hired a wedding photographer, it’s all plandids at the buffet counter.

[@ah5721]

I hate seeing people eat too.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I replay my way of doing the wedding (considering Marriage Equality will arrive at some point) which will be a Court Marriage. A feast for an organisation followed by contributions to certain NGOs. Nothing is fixed in stone though.

[@bumbley.umbley]

I’m curious to know about your clothes for the Mehndi! Did you buy, rent, use existing pieces? And what is the cost like for traditional Asian dress? (p.s. you both looked lovely and so happy during both days! It seems like it was a wonderful weekend. 💗)

[@ayza.loves.movies]

southall is the best place to go for clothes ngl

[@Iwatchtomuchyt]

My mum is Hindu and the weddings with my dad was going to be 100,000 and my dad said no so this is nice seeing kind of what my parents wedding would be like these days

[@dawnvega383]

Last Minute Laura also paid for their wedding and have postponed it because of Covid-19. Her KZbin channel covers that.

[@melissacoviello2886]

I love everything about this video and I can’t wait to see parts of the video and more pics. PS. Check out a song called Invincible, by Pentatonix. Shaaba I think you specifically will love it. It’s on their new album, Holidays around the world, shreya Goshal is featuring on the song and it’s absolutely stunning, it’s a beautiful message and a fusion of cultures.

[@jame2870]

This video was endeering.

[@bitchenboutique6953]

I just GASPED at the twinkly floor.

[@MaggieValera]

So which day was the legal ceremony and since you had a two day wedding, does that mean you're going to celebrate all anniversaries as a weekend?

[@alanaemily8970]

I drive past Alexa and bud every morning!

[@ravenclawfairy3648]

Thank you so much, Jamie and Shaaba ❤️ My boyfriend and me don't look like an LGBT couple either, so I'm gonna basically be saying to our future suppliers, "So yeah, I'm a bi-romantic aesthetically attracted ace woman who wants to marry the man of her dreams. I'll answer your questions if you'll answer mine :3"

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Just a suggestion: I do hope Jamie and you check out the trailer of ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’ (The one with Lily James).

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The cost of an Asian Wedding: Comparison to others, Relatives finding faults and some Boomer complaining about how the food was too salty for his taste.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Yes, Cake is scarily expensive. Only goes to show how expensive raw materials and operational costs are but also maybe no one wants to be underpaid.

[@emilyhanmore1427]

cute together

[@crazysox305]

Aww y’all have been talking about the wedding for so long and it’s so nice to see you finally enjoy it 😭😭 Question: why do y’all refer to south Asian/Desi things as Asian? I mean that’s not wrong to say hahaha but I am used to speaking a little bit more specifically about being Indian/desi or even specifically where I’m from in India

[@Cascadeis]

I’ve been wondering this a lot as well! I know close to nothing about where Shaaba’s roots are, but I know a lot more about Chniese, Korean and Japanese culture so whenever she says “Asian” I think “no it’s not, is it?” 😂

[@Robb3636]

@@Cascadeis I think because her family are from Mauritius, which is actually in Africa, but the population living there are overwhelmingly from India, Pakistan and the like, but she doesn't come from a specific place in Asia, so when referring to her cultural roots the non-specific 'Asian' works. Plus, in Britain (where both she, and I are from) we have a very high population of Indian and Pakistani people, so if a British person refers to an Asian person, statistically they'll be from that ethnic group. It's more of a recent and Americanised thing to say 'Asian' and mean Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.

[@bs4e644]

This kind of bothers me because when east asians say "asian" no one ask them to specify. I remember in university talking about being Asian and an classmate says "you're not asian" lmao wtf?

[@TheMarineIguanaStudios]

⭐50% of this video: "Here's how to save money at your wedding." ⭐The other 50%: "And I think the spacewalk with Jeff Bezos was my favorite part of the day..."

[@westcoastfireafc]

I had a celebrant at my wedding we had a Celtic x pagan wedding where my father did not give me away the celebrant asked who comes with Anne to honour and support her on this day then he asked the same for my groom, I was lucky one of my bridesmaids paid to have my dress another paid for the celebrant my mother in law painted the wooden fans made our wedding flowers one of our groom men is a wedding photographer another of my best friends is a sports photographer and the daughter of a good friend took photos and filmed

[@christinakyleloves]

Love you 2!! So ready for this? 🥔🥔🍑🍑

[@CorwinFound]

What is a "celebrant" wedding? I get that it's different than just the legal aspect but... pretty confused. By the way, sounds like it was your dream wedding in the truest meaning of the word. So thrilled for you guys.

[@sarahk8053]

It's basically a free ceremony. So instead of doing a ceremony in church for example, you have someone who does that ceremony however/wherever you want.

[@msshellm8154]

Here (Australia) Celebrants are licenced, civil, 'authorities' that can legally marry you, prices vary a lot, and there are those who specialise - cultural, spiritual, some *won't* marry queer couples, others specialise in it. It's the person you get to do it if you don't want a priest, though (obviously) your spirituality can still play as large or small a part as you and your celebrant wish.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’ve heard Shaaba sing but considering the Intro Sequence, when is Shaaba getting into rapping?

[@Sailor_Enchantix]

Did you guys write your own vows, or did you go with the genetic ones?

[@Sina-mx5wb]

17:30 wait which Company was ist? I need to find this video

[@erjusik]

From the title of the video I was expecting you to give the actual costs, whereas here you mostly talked about being somewhere middle of the range. I wish you were more specific, as it would be more helpful for those who are planning a wedding currently

[@lilypudd]

So great!!

[@sydenyhoward5740]

Your hair looks like cotton candy (fairy floss)

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Trans Renaming Ceremonies? That sounds like a fun event to go to. We need those in India.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’m living for this Millennial Wedding where things have been sourced from Instagram. You hear that, Mummy-Daddy? I scroll through my phone for good reasons.

Leaving a comment for the algorithm

[@margaretnicol3423]

Sorry but I think asking what your wedding cost is rude!

[@unouni2548]

I am intrigued about the scam 👀 there's probably a lot of people around the wedding industry that are scamming couples. (If you want to tell us, of course)

[@ah5721]

I want to know the scam too!

[@Luka-z8z]

I'm sorry😊😊bat i mais my LOVE i m'en my boyfrand😢(👬👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨👨‍👨‍👦‍👦)😢 so much 😢😊 i'm bisexual💙💜💖bat i love one boy👬💙💚and one girl👫💙💜

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

getting married in a month; seeking to minimise ALL costs weddings are such as waste of money imo lol

[@ah5721]

Don't tell anyone it's for a wedding. Just say it's a family event. They up charge for anything wedding

[@PokhrajRoy.]

‘Relatively small for an Asian Event’? What are you trying to say, Jamie? (Just kidding 3000 people at an event is a conservative sum)

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The fact that your Wedding didn’t have Bisexual Lighting in a dim setting with mics is shocking. (Just kidding)

[@Luka-z8z]

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮

[@daipearmain]

Not sure what anyone's wedding costs has to do with anyone but the people who are paying for it. Maybe it's just me, but strange anyone would feel alright asking people that

[@gogreen2496]

I think it's to give people who want to plan a wedding at some point an idea of what it could cost.
