Wedding dress shopping with my sister! 🥺

I truly can’t believe it but I am going to be officiating my twin sister’s wedding in December.
There is a lot of wedding prep happening around here these days! As I'm writing this, my sister-in-law Julia is celebrating her wedding weekend (September), and in December, my twin sister Allie is getting married. Today’s video walks through a few big happenings: getting my license to legally officiate her wedding in the state of New York AND my twin sister’s first wedding dress fitting at Kleinfeld Bridal (where "Say Yes to the Dress" is filmed!)
CHAPTERS:
00:00-1:38 - being asked to officiate the wedding!
00:35-06:35 - getting ordained to legally officiate a wedding
06:36-08:57 - wedding dress fitting at Kleinfeld Bridal
08:58-09:26 - facial ice bath
09:27-14:00 - chatting in my new office
14:01-14:00 - my current office decor
Back in August, on our 31st birthday, my sister popped the question, “Will you officiate our wedding?” and I, of course, said YES. Cue the tears. It was such an emotional moment for me-I know what a special privilege this is and what an honor it is to be asked to officiate a wedding for someone you love so much.
I had to go through a handful of steps to get ordained to legally officiate a wedding. I opted for an online ordination through the Universal Life Church's website. I discuss it in more detail in the video but becoming ordained to officiate a wedding is a pretty straightforward process and, if you are looking to get ordained, you don’t have to be any specific religion to get your credentials of ministry. Anyone can get ordained!
I’ve been reading books and researching how to officiate a wedding, and I’ve also sent off a questionnaire for my sister and her fiance to fill out so that I, as the officiant, can make the wedding ceremony as personal as possible for them. That being said, if anyone watching this has officiated a wedding in the past (or knows of someone who has) and has their wedding ceremony script handy…please send me a copy! I think it would be helpful to read through other wedding officiant scripts to get inspiration for mine. If you have a script for officiating a wedding, please send it to [e-mail] :) -- only if it's before December 2023.
In the second part of this video, I head off to New York City to meet my twin sister at Kleinfeld Bridal for her first wedding dress fitting. While I won’t be showing her wedding dress until after her wedding day, Kleinfeld gave us exclusive access to their workroom (where they do the alterations, hemming, beading, etc.) to film some behind-the-scenes footage of the operation!
After her wedding dress fitting, I set up my camera during our family breakfast to show you something I’ve been doing lately to de-puff my face-facial ice baths! It feels AMAZING. I follow up this self-care moment with my daily “hot cacao” which is my beloved 100% cacao drink that has a ton of lifestyle benefits. I discuss it more in the video if you’re interested in trying it!
I close out the video in my NEW OFFICE! It’s currently under construction, and we have some exciting projects underway, but a lot of the furniture is in place and I wanted to show you its current state! My goal is to have a clutter-free, minimal office setup. It’s truly my dream office and I am so excited to show you this little glimpse into my work haven.

Milo is like a real person now, not a baby anymore!! Adorable . I remember when my little sister reached that stage, we could actually speak to each other!!

[@luciebfink]

The most fun ever❤❤❤❤

[@blackparader7]

MIlo's face when you came up from your face ice bath :') Such an exciting adventure for your twin sister and you. What a sweet season of life.

[@luciebfink]

We got married in June, in France, without religious service. We had the city hall ceremony, that was (really) short and unpersonnal, and then we had a secular ceremony. This was the moment we trully felt married, it was in our family house, officiated by my sister-in-law's husband, and is was perfect!!! It has no legal value, but we were able to share this magical moment with family and friends. I love how he told our story, about the day we first met, spoke about us. We ended the ceremony by singing all together ! I am sure you will be fantastic at it Lucie!!!

My daughter became an officiant and married her childhood friend. She did a great job. My daughter herself was married by an officiant who was fantastic. That woman met with my daughter and son-in-law like 3 times over a couple of hours each time and even called myself and my son-in-law's mom to ask about our children. The way she lead the ceremony and discussed life and marriage was wonderful and personal. She even found a way to include my other daughter who has a developmental disability into the ceremony. Friends and family told us they were mesmerized by the ceremony and enjoyed it more than the usual ceremony you might see in a church or Synagogue. I know you will do a fantastic job because of your outgoing personality and your love for your sister. No pressure Lucy. LOL

First of all, congratulations on being ordained to officiate your twin sister's wedding! Second, Milo is growing so fast! And third, looking forward to seeing the completion of the renovated living room!

[@luciebfink]

Yayyyy❤❤❤😊

[@luciebfink]

I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF IT'S PRONOUNCED officiant like "efficient" or "offish-eeeee-ant" - any takers?!?

[@gracex592]

I think it's the second! x

[@lovelifemay3]

The second for sure!!!

[@peachxblue]

I think it’s “Oh-fish-ee-ant”

[@queens6583]

It's officiant.

I love hot cacao!! I discovered it last year from another KZbinr Elsa Rhae. She shares some recipes but here is mine: Cacao Milk of preference (I like almond or whole milk if I want it creamier) A dash of vanilla Cinnamon Turmeric Maple syrup or honey Measure with your heart on all ingredients and be sure to froth it up 🥰

[@luciebfink]

Yummy😊😊😊

[@chrysannie]

[@jj-if6it]

Would be so fun to go to Kleinfeld!

[@justmeherexx482]

There was something flying around in your room and it took me 30 seconds to realize it wasn't flying near my screen but in your room. I was literally swatting at it. I feel like an idiot....aaand end scene, I'll be here all week. 😅🤓🤪

[@luciebfink]

Hahahaha the sun shines so bright into the rooms you can see dust

[@denisewebb5073]

Alley could wear a paper bag, and she would look stunning!!!!

[@luciebfink]

[@marielarebelo9194]

Your water bottle is so pretty! Where is it from?

[@luciebfink]

[@MelindaDH143]

That’s so cool! I would be marrying everyone off 😂 jk. I really enjoy the marital counseling beforehand.

[@jimcorbeil]

🤍🤍

[@jj-if6it]

I wouldn't read other people's speeches, you want it to be specific to you and your sister and not something stereotypical or expected

[@ambrosia1917]

when are you having another baby?
