I would share but only bits and pieces, ie emotions when choosing a wedding going, cake, but not too much to take away from it. Weddings are just so precious

[@pumzi_]

Thank you so, so much for the bit about creatives being clear about what they can and can't do. Been struggling with it lately and your advice has really helped with all the thoughts I've been battling with. As a number of people have been saying, I don't think it's necessary to share constant updates about your wedding. A few pictures later on, especially of your makeup and hairdo, isn't such a bad idea but you really shouldn't feel the pressure to share everything (or anything at all really). Some things are better (and best treasured) when kept private, especially such special and personal occasions.

[@elsiendonga9492]

I think people would totally understand if you choose to keep some parts of your wedding private. Its a pretty special day and your allowed to cherish those moments with those closest to you. But i think people are just curious about most of the fashion related aspects eg. flower choice,how the search for the perfect dress is going etc. It helps your followers feel a little involved in your journey :)

[@naomiemwamutsi6506]

Sharing...it really becomes complicated when you don't know what to share and what not to. My advice would be share if and when you are comfortable. Your peace is most important. Wishing you all the best in your wedding plans. And thank you for this video. Love

[@cynthianjema424]

I don't even use Vaseline....guess what I use.....ARIMIS and OMG I love it.

[@annk1169]

So true about the vaseline! Oldie..but it works.

[@PatriciaOgema]

I feel so touched by your sharing dilemma. I am also a serious introvert, in fact I am much worse than you by far so I would say, follow your gut. I would not share updates but I would share the wedding. It can be really scary when things get bigger than life but you will do the right thing for you, you can share small things that excite you or maybe something that you did not think you would have to do. So go girl, you will be fine.

[@mimswahu9692]

On the wedding issue.. please share but like Bėyonce style. Like enjoy your moment then a few weeks/months after the wedding share it . That way you get to share without being overly overwhelmed

[@KenyaLit]

This is awesome .. you been gone damn...The wedding part Keep it PRIVATE listen to your inner voice nothing worse than the feeling of lost control and the internet never forgets...I mean many would love to see it and and hey even attend but it's your day, be in the moment and enjoy it it never comes back! It's a memory in making plus am sure some are terribly waiting to pull it to pieces and kill the day...You don't owe any one anything ..Enjoy the day have a blast you seem so shiny bright and smiling..All the best

[@marygitau3696]

Hey Sharon. About your wedding details, I would follow my instinct just like you said. And as an encouragement:even though your engagement story blew up and went out of hand(which would make me as anxious as you were), I am deeply grateful that you shared it. Not only did it make me follow you in every way I could(I'm not a stalker...lol) but it made me believe that I could get a dream engagement and wedding as well. Thanks for being such an inspiration Sharon. All the best in your ongoing wedding planning and future marriage. God bless:-)

[@irenekilingi9188]

Thank you for answering my question,and I stand corrected lonina it is.You looked very pretty.My answer to your question, I wouldn't share my my wedding updates but share snippets of the wedding video afterwards.Cheers to your weekend.

[@abigailgold4068]

was just about to write that. why do people put so much pressure on someone about sharing their private life

[@esthermugure9098]

I agree with Irene you don't need to share any updates per se. Too many wannabe blogs looking for traffic for their sites and they would just take your updates and make them their own...hehe .But a few pics of the wedding after wouldnt hurt.All the best as you plan and in your marriage

[@wamaithakairu979]

Great video sharon! Keep the details of your wedding private then maybe you can share with us some pictures after the wedding☺

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

😊☺️

[@nellymakena4972]

Hey Sharon, am one of those people who was so so excited about your engagement, anyway you share what you feel comfortable with I would looove if you shared your wedding but the choice is all yours, Slay and Pray.... Blessings.

[@wairishi86]

Hi Sharon, this was really cool and interesting to watch (yes I lasted that long😀). Now, about your wedding, trust your gut as you always have done and only share what you feel you can comfortably. All the best with the planning and I wish you and future hubby the happiest life together. Blessings.

[@missywangari]

Great video Sharon. 👍👍 And nope I wouldn't share my plans. But the solution I think, would be for you to document your wedding plans/journey likr decor choices, dress choices, food etc. and then when the wedding is done(like 4-6months into the marriage), you could share the journey. With that then you'll have shared with us plus you'd have avoided making it a big deal. P.S. you're gorg

[@missywangari]

[@perisbahati6066]

So she was pregnant Merry Christmas Sharon plus your new family

[@melbasandi285]

It's always good to leave a little mystery in your life. All the best with the wedding plans 🌸🌸 much love from Tanzania!

[@Kisahi]

+1 on the vaseline regime . I will try layering routine. At times it feels a bit dry even with Vaseline

[@fionafrank3373]

My fave philosophy is that doubt means no! If you are not sure about sharing wedding deets, then don't😘 we will still support ya!

[@faithstephen7707]

awwww am speechless practically am like obsessed with you not in a wrong , creepy way but in a nice way i love how you say( i don't do make up) yet your make up looks sooo goood and those eyebrows chic on fleek........... about your wedding i watch lots of you tube channels and the couples their can either show us the whole wedding journey or keep it private then after all the excitement and honeymoon and resting ..you like give us a teaser of the wedding ......but then then this been Kenya we will probably get a glimpse thru the press. anyway i love you so happy for you and don't be too busy with the wedding you forget about us. xo

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

Faith you're such a cutie! Thank you so much and sending lots of love right back at you! Yeah I'll probably only share bits and pieces after the day!

[@bernicewambui4138]

I would keep it private up until after but i would document some things.I'm sure what people would like to know is how you picked out your flowers,the dress, the jewelry,the shoes or even the venue. That could work well coz you can even help( also maybe make money) market the businesses you got stuff from for the wedding.It would be a collaboration of sorts. But keep it private.

[@magdalenewanyoike7981]

Aaaw... It breaks my heart that ur marriage didn't isn't what u imagined would be right here... Ur a strong woman

[@ray39e]

I am so sad i missed the Q&A session, i had some questions regarding wedding gown shopping. I am also planning my wedding and that is by far the hardest hurdle for me. Great video and eyebrows, wish mine would be half as good as yours. The answer to your question, keep your wedding details private.

[@bluebird4815]

OmG Sharon, I've read all James Patterson ones. He is an amazing writer. You will fall in love with the Women's murder club and Alex Cross series. 😊😊😊 ohh and the Maximum Ride one. ohh my, when i read First one to die, i swear, i got addicted.

[@carolinerife4443]

Since your popularity has not only been determined by your passion, but also by your fan-base, you may need to rethink about the decision to share your personal life, including your upcoming nuptials. My suggestion would be to contract with a magazine and sell the rights to your wedding pics. That way you still have control and your fan-base gets to share your big day with you, and the big one: you can capitalize from the contract😊. However, no matter what anyone suggests, you do you, but know "hakuna siri ya watu wawili".

[@clairekembabazi7604]

about sharing personal info im going to agree with u its quite scary for me aswel! so just share whatever u feel ur comfortable with :-)

[@liznjugunakimani3362]

Part 2 please ?

[@scanslypink]

My suggestion on the wedding would be don't share the date cause the last thing you need is people gate crushing. Though afterwards you can share with us. Would love to see it. All the best with the planning of your wedding and blessings too.

[@elled6393]

Please share the pics of the day.My take and I love this video, Its been a minute since you vlogged. All the best with the preps.

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

Thank you!

[@georginagetata5433]

loved the chat ,please do Part 2.

[@MercyStacy]

I get you Sharon doing make up videos is hard ,I tried and failed miserably .I have a new found respect for beauty gurus.

[@NeemohMugane]

Hi Sharon. I suggest you keep your wedding PRIVATE. Some celebrities are suffering big time coz they went all out only to have a very public tiff, costing a lot on their reputations probably their brands. I will not mention names but a scandal went down early this year and twas heartbreaking to watch all that drama unfold. The ongoings of their marriage was/is constantly put under a microscope for tabloids. I bet you would not want to give the public that kind of power later in future, if God forbid you and your spouse have a "tiff". You said, trust your instincts. The fear you felt is justified after the engagement. You owe many nothing about your big day. Celebrate with friends and family. When the time is right choose what to share with us, but not out of obligation to your fans. Congrats on your upcoming nuptials.

[@carolinenjoroge1195]

yaaaaay yesterday i was re-watching your videos kumbe there was a new coming up so happy right now

[@Sarastefy0]

Hey Sharon! I miss you. Come back soon. Saw on your IG that you weren't well. GWS and happily ever after! ;) xx

[@jannyceink2279]

I don't know if I have to say it but it's better if you don't share... you won't get too many cooks into your broth and you can get as creative and emotional as it should be away from the public eye you can document and release it later where no unwanted criticism can ruin your special day now to soothe the side that wants to share you can start off by sharing your traditional ceremonies because you've concluded those and they're memories and are insightful for people of different cultures. I am going to look for that book fyi forget the meru accent video with Edith and miss kihoro do more of this. This is so lovely push yourself!!!

[@ummulkheirmohammed6787]

hey I believe the wedding planning should be private and sacred....as much as we would like to see everything you should do the planning and major decision making low key, below the radar and the end product will be amazing. best of luck

[@natashajuma3373]

hi Sharon which perfume do you use

[@karolekyradi6250]

Love you and your content. Keep up!

[@missdee2192]

your sooo pretty!

[@ashes2beauti]

In regards to sharing...do what 'you' are comfortable with. If it makes you uncomfortable....that's your answer.

[@NancieMwaii]

Thank you, your makeup is not that bad though.

[@monicasena7637]

Nancie your makeup is totally on point love your videos

[@allthegrace7251]

5yrs ago Sharon 😁😁

[@dedpixlroy1521]

That book Power is by who? I really want it!!!!

[@sylviahmarshalls4557]

Your eyebrows 👌...i was staring at those the whole time😍😍

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

😁😁

[@monicasena7637]

Keep it to myself. I know we as your fans would want to know all the details but its your day to enjoy with close family and friends

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

It's so interesting to see how many of you guys share this opinion!

[@monicasena7637]

+This Is Ess some moments are better enjoyed without the whole world watching. I hope the wedding will be as awesome as you envision it.

[@cmwangi62]

Your. Sweatshirt. Is. The. Coolest!! Where from?

[@joykigen2190]

Hey Sharon I have watched your videos since I was in Kenya and I find you sweet smart great and inspiring. Thank you for sharing positivity in KZbin by what you do, videos make ppl smile and forget there bad day. I think your personal life is about you, and you can chose to share it or not. Do you watch the Ellen show? I like her quote Be kind to one another. You make a difference in the society and thank you. God bless you. 😄😄😄😊😊😀😀

[@matinajazmine]

I just created a KZbin channel. your always inspiring me ess😊

[@Shesh452]

babe don't share so much hehe, we're okay with the surprise of the wedding itself. have your privacy and enjoy your special moments of planning,, love you so much!

[@nyingi_jo]

Hey Sharon..I say don't share till it happens... cause it will blow up on every platform when it happens... mystery is good for now ... then maybe after you can do a video or a blogpost for the ones almost heading that way... 😊😊. All the best... I know how it is.

[@Asya.love-yourself]

hey sharon. kindly share the background details,i see some cute pieces there...hides....

[@ivorylovesmes]

Share after the wedding.

[@wairimumutungu1130]

👌👌👌👌 I looooove it.

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

Thank you Wairimu! xx

[@lilybloom7012]

Hallo Sharon!loved the video. BTW I once saw a tray of miniature perfumes in one of your videos.where do you get that size of designer perfumes in Nairobi?Also,which stores in Nairobi have you ever bought full size designer perfumes that were not fake?your help will be appreciated.

[@turluck]

Thanks for answering my question about the getaways. ION, I'd probably share bits and pieces of information about the wedding plans but not the nitty gritty. I feel like you had an experience where everyone (I mean your blog audience and followers and Kenya at large) invaded your life. Nothing's personal anymore but I think you can get it back by controlling how much you put out on the blog. I'm a huge fan of your work nonetheless!! Or you could share the experience right after the wedding so we can get more information 😉 Looking forward to it

[@diannaachando9160]

Keep your wedding details personal and private; a few months after the wedding share a few things and tips about wedding and marriage preparation with some videos and or photos. You can make a list, review it for some time then make a video.

[@amywangechi123]

Sharon!:) I'm kinda late to the party but beautiful video.I honestly love and admire your sincerity in all that you showcase. I totally get the fix that you are in on what to and not to put out there.3 words,Trust Your Gut. Speaking from a loyal fan ....SHARE!hahaha..for our kind's sake.Anyways,wish you all the best in life. Also,#TeamPetroleumJelly #ButI'mWith Arimis. Cheers.

[@dedpixlroy1521]

If blogging is your life, I would most definately share, be true to yourself and stay, irrespective of what people say

[@lindaotiende]

Honestly Sharon, I suggest you don't share your wedding details. You are a public figure and some people may not have the best interest at heart. Pictures afterwards maybe.. Great video..I totally enjoyed it..More videos please :-)

[@pumzi_]

Totally agree

[@Rothaomar]

great advice Linda Otiende

[@sheilahndiege3811]

I still want to know about your wedding!! Check out how Aqeelah of Fashionbreed did hers. It didnt have many details but she told us what she was up to like her mum sewing her second dress what inspired the style without showing so she built the anticipation. Also Helena of Brooklyn Blonde shared her ceremony Without showing her hubby you can share Without sharing too much. Don't worry about who is watching just keep telling your story its why you started the blog in the first place.... But no pressure

[@MercyStacy]

my fav Kenyan youtuber

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

Aww! ❤️

[@lisamumbi1658]

You could share glimpses of the wedding after its happened. it's ur day you don't need any pressure

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

That's most likely what I'll do!

[@marie_k]

Don't share at least we will have something to look forward to. then I think weddings are intimate and special. It's all about you and your spouse n families.Am sure it will be exciting to hear or watch it on TV haha part of me believes it will be big and epic coz most people are waiting for the big day.💑💏

[@MsLiplicious]

Hey love, I would like to buy that book Power who is the author? love 😍 😘

[@sharleennjihia]

it is written by Shonda Rhimes there's a video as well

[@fashionkeyllah]

+Sharleen Njihia the same author wrote The Secret. So inspiring

[@carolynenyaribo5144]

Please gal share your wedding updates... Please

[@TraceyMwendwa1]

I use Vaseline too lol. why can't we double like videos 😞 I would😃😃 love.

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

Haha!! 😂 Twinsies!

[@perisbahati4431]

plz share ur update we love u n we are fan's plz pretty plz loved the traditional masaii wedding pics

[@angelawahito]

i think you should vlog about all your struggles and your wedding but upload after the wedding,so as you can enjoy your honeymoon😉😉😉

[@leilavidema]

I envied you when you were talking about Lonina, he sounds like a super nice guy!!!. Never met him but I remember him from my Customer Service days. Puts you at ease real quick, (and he is the client hahahahaha) As regards your wedding, If I was in your position,I think I would share info, like maybe photos and a write up about how it went down, but AFTER THE WEDDING, like maybe 2-3 months later. Sometimes we forget that notable faces have a life away from the public, and we can feel entitled to everything that goes on with them, even their private lives.... So, yeah, jealously guard your private life,and keep it as private as you can,but please please do let us see a couple of pics and tell your story. It would be a shame to not see the beautiful bride you would make

[@carolmutua5266]

she was totally blushing when she was talking about him, soo cute

[@leilavidema]

+Carol Mutua IKR!!! Its super cute

[@naomikaringithi3744]

[@blasio1361]

Where is your lamp from

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

I got it from Wasp&Sprout!

[@Sarastefy0]

Hello Sharon. I respect your privacy because you have right to preserve your personal life. So hell yeah, I woulda done the same thing. ION, where can I get the MAC Nightmoth lip pencil? Aint that lippie sexy?

[@SharonMundiaVideos]

Aww thank you Sara! xx You can get it from any MAC store. I got it from the one in Village Market last year :)

[@Rothaomar]

OMG!!! I have the same fear of insects entering my body.....yikes!!! This Is Ess On the wedding issue I shared mine on youtube and my mum advised me to take it down, which I did but before I did someone had downloaded it, changed the music and uploaded it to their channel which I found absurd. I didn't find out about it until some family members told me about it. I tried contacting the guy, he was so rude but I threatened to report his channel that's when he took it down. So my advice to you is not to put it out there or be very selective of what you do because its a very beautiful private thing.

[@irenekalugula5227]

who is the author the book you read #power

[@LynnNgugi]

Hello... If am not wrong she is talking about The Power by Rhonda Byrne.

[@essie.lately]

Pray to God. He'll help you on what to & not to share ♥

[@maureenmurugi9314]

You said you trust your gut,if it scares you to share about your wedding then go with your gut and don't tell. People have different opinions and one minute they looovee......what you do and the next they hate it and this does through one into a scary zone...if this is the zone you were in after sharing about you traditional wedding, just give what you can the rest leave it

[@Naisula_254]

[@TheAnnanito]

I think you should keep most of your wedding details private, if not all, so your family and friends can get to celebrate your wedding the way you want to. Noone wants wedding crashers on their big day.

[@cl-vp3fo]

how dd i miss this notification?

[@carollinah3066]

Sharon I would suggest you don't share your wedding updates but you can share a video afterwards. Send me an invite though ps...lol

[@akibasleuth]

Haha okay raise your hand if in 9:19 you heard in sex instead of insects lmao I was like wait what? rewind hehe lordy lord

[@merlene_k]

I would suggest that you DON'T share any wedding details or updates but you should definitely share pictures, videos or even a vlog of the wedding after.

[@marionwambui6583]

Please share I would like to see your wedding style and what you like and how the journey is..your challenges .....and all . I mean I get how the blogs run away with anything Sharon Mundia and trolls on twitter and stuff but hey maybe you could get some inspiration from Addana and Davi - Check them on KZbin and you will see the fun of sharing

[@fahimanuur9157]

One advice don't mind how some crooks react if u wanna share ur wedding plans den do n to answer ur quiz i would share n give some pple the talk of the day

[@barnumingrid8739]
