why we haven't planned the wedding, moving before christmas & being single: a cosy night in q&a

[@motti2003]

Hannah thank you so much for your work! There is no KZbinr that creates the same sense of calm and gratitude while teaching us so much about how to live a life that will make ourselves feel the best. I am so grateful that you became a KZbinr and put so much effort into creating your videos - They are like a warm hug and a safe positive place :)

[@HannahAdkins]

🥲 thank you for making my day ❤️

Thank you beautiful vlog 😘 peaceful ✌️

I just wanted to tell you that my daughter moved to the United Kingdom for school. She’s in college there and my husband and son took her and so they spent the last week with her. I found myself alone in the house for the first time in 30 years. I was really afraid of the silence of it and I started watching little UK Vlogs to make myself feel better. I came across your channel and watch several of your videos and they were so comforting to me. so I’m very subscriber and I’m so glad you did this. Catch up and question and answer. I feel like I know you a little bit better and I feel like your videos. But these chat sessions have made the house less quiet and I appreciate that. Best to you and your future plans and dreams..

[@AtulDhum-e1i]

Such a valuable video! I don’t often promote books, but the book women’s magic truths on borlest is an exception. It’s packed with insights on wealth and self-care that are not widely known. All the best to everyone

[@michelled1480]

I’ve watched your channel for a while now and wanted you to know that your channel helped me through a dark time in my life. I was going through a lot of difficult relationship issues with family and spouse and felt very alone. I felt like I kept having to stand up for myself and ask for basic consideration and respect and that people were just very selfish and unkind. But your channel helped me see there ARE good, kind people in the world. And at the same time I really didn’t have any friends and felt badly about myself because of that. And your channel made me feel like I wasn’t so lonely in the friend department. So thank you for being there. Thank you for your honesty, your compassion, and being real with your audience. You don’t know it, but what you’re doing is helping people like me. Thank you ❤

[@robynwells8249]

I was married a very long time ago, and had the big wedding. Being the center of attention was so uncomfortable for me I don’t remember much about the wedding. The older me would tell the younger me to skip the big wedding and use the money for a house or something like that. My dad offered me a wedding or the money. We should have taken the money. But… everyone is different.

[@tracyabbott4495]

The part about being single in your late 20s is very relatable! I was in a relationship for 10 years and we broke up when I was 28 and it was one of the scariest things I had ever done, feeling like I was starting again as such but I had a year of being single and having the absolute best time and then out of nowhere I met my soulmate and realised it was all meant to be. It’s so important not to lose hope!! Life is crazy but beautiful

[@sophiabarnes5086]

When you mentioned being bullied and feeling alone I couldn't believe that happened to you, I'm sorry you went throught that. Im so glad you have a better life and are surrounded by people who love you. KZbin has always been a great place to find like minds and connect for me too.

[@izziemiller875]

I'm in long-term relationship with the love of my life, but everything you said about never knowing when you'll find your person and to enjoy being single was so, so refreshing and inspiring (I wish past me could have heard this because it's so true!) so thank you for sharing! I'd really love to hear you talk about how you manage to maintain a high level of trust whilst in a long-distance relationship!

[@bwebber8908]

I literally look forward to your videos every week! I feel like your the girlfriend I meet for coffee every week. I re watch old ones. They’re my favorites when I clean my house or do laundry. I love taking to you on my walks on the treadmill. You’re honestly the only reason I get on KZbin 🙏🏻🩷😌

[@wickedartist1451]

We're incredibly grateful that you started a YT channel, too!

[@elizabethelliott5478]

Very cozy as well as comforting. Sharing your experiences in such a calm open way really allows us to realize we are not alone. Life definitely has its ups and downs.

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Thank you for sharing Hannah❤. So glad you came through all the tough times at school, it can leave a long time scar. Yes you have a great community here. Keep happy hunny. Love Rosie O. x

[@enelr5504]

We had a small wedding, 30 guests, only closest family and friends, no bridesmaids, small band playing, good food, wine and shampgne. I did splurge on flowers...

[@DeBorahJones-o7z]

I had a small wedding because I couldn’t afford it! I am 70 now and could have a big wedding and I’m so glad I had a small one! You stick to your guns and have the wedding you want!❤

[@kv7654]

I love your vlogs!! Very serene and beautiful, without pushy “ads” non-stop. Lovely.

[@jodieauckland8864]

You have a great perspective on life, and it is truly heartwarming to hear how wise you are at such a young age. Good on you for not wanting a ridiculously big expensive wedding. It's the marriage that's important, not the one day. Enjoy your time with Kenny, and your weekend in the Cotswolds. Hugs to Roo.

[@fabsm.2704]

In the two years that I’ve followed you you have become hands down one of my favorite KZbinrs ❤️ Funny to think that in the beginning I was kind of skeptical that your lifestyle might be too out of reach for me to relate but you’re, despite the abundance surrounding you, incredibly down to earth and relatable. ❤️ And for that I thank you. God bless! 💐

[@ursulaclarke6066]

I'm so glad you started your YT channel, I love your videos and find them so relaxing and enjoyable x

[@karinamadani]

Your videos make me feel so peaceful Hannah. You're a beautiful person inside and out :)

[@poppycalliope]

I definitely want a small wedding for me and my partner, to have just the people that truly love us there ❤ weddings are such a special day that should be celebrated with our closest people. I have noticed that some people use it as a way to show off and invite people who will just come to judge and gossip, at least that happens at the place i come from but to each their own. I loved this video Hannah. It felt like hanging out with a friend ☕️💌

[@ZoePritchard]

amazing Q&A, thank you Hannah 💖 you are so eloquent in the way you speak and its a joy to listen to you!

[@sydneykasmar]

You are such a lovely woman. It's nice to listen to your uktra-calm voice sharing what's true for you. Wishing you well in all you do.

[@Fatimascottdesign]

Hannah you are just the loveliest person! I have been searching for genuine people I can follow and be inspired by on KZbin and I was lucky enough to tumble on to your page. You would be my ideal type of friend. I can just tell your so full of love ❤️❤️

[@bwebber8908]

[@lisas6511]

Hannah, thank you so much for your advice about meeting the right person. I am 52 and still haven’t met my Mr Right. I have had a lot of awful relationships and sometimes think, will I ever meet the right person. Hearing your advice has struck a cord with me and made me realise that there is some out out there for me. Thank you ☺️

[@actgirl1234567]

❤ honestly, the way that youtube has helped you feel a connection, and a place, I'm so grateful that you're hear to share it with others because you and your videos have helped me feel even just a bit less anxious and a sense of comfort that I rarely feel these days xox

[@Anne914]

Sundays with Hannah 🍂🍁🧡 bliss🍂🍁🧡

[@rach5516]

I didn't want a big wedding, ours was moderate, about 110 people in a small castle that we hired for two days in Shropshire. All the people were those we absolutely loved and cherished. It was the most wonderful day. Very relaxed, and 11 years later I am still living off the memory of that day. Do what you both want to do Hannah 💕 xx

[@wombag1]

110 people is not moderate..! ☺ but I'm glad you enjoyed it..!

[@arabella5871]

My husband and I got married in May 2023. We had about 50-60 people at the wedding. It was the perfect amount. And being a person who has never planned anything, it was overwhelming but fulfilling to plan. It was all worth it and I look back on the pictures frequently. If you have the money and time to plan, I would say plan a manageable wedding. It's SO special to have all your friends and family together for one day. And I know how close you are with your family :) At times, I got overwhelmed with the planning, so I would suggest getting a wedding planner or even a friend who knows about weddings to guide you. And remember at the end of the day the only thing that HAS to happen is that you get married to the love of your life! Everything else is extra and the day is for YOU & Kenny. Not for everyone else.

[@archivesbyautumn]

I loved the part of having health and family as being a good life, it is so true! I lost my dad at 25 unexpectedly on a family vacation, and I lost my mom this year at 28 years old. Cherish your loved ones, because you never know when the last memory with them will be 🤍

[@mrs.e3909]

The expense of weddings has gotten ridiculous! The focus should be the couple and celebrating them, not padding the pockets of venues or stressing the finances of all concerned.

[@sophiebain9802]

I’m engaged and feel the exact way about weddings! It’s so nice to hear other people feel the same way because there can be a lot of pressure to have a big wedding 🤍 loved this video

[@cochranhomeandkitchen]

You could’ve made this video twice as long and I still would’ve thoroughly enjoyed it! I’m new here and loving your content. ❤

[@carrieking3907]

You are so right about meeting someone. I didn't meet my husband until I was 30. I had kissed several frogs and was depressed turning 30 and not having my forever person. Well I met him at work and we just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. We have two teen sons that are awesome. Looking back if I could tell that 30 year old woman one thing I would say, "Relax and breathe in all the moments because your best life is ahead of you, just be patient". Also, to your point, don't settle. Also, our wedding was tiny and focused on our marriage, not on the guests/event so I applaud you for knowing yourself. Loving your soulful content! Hello from Fidalgo Island, WA State.

[@lyncassady9868]

this felt like a really good conversation with a wise and kind friend. thank you! 🥰

[@LadyDi82]

Hi Hannah, small weddings are the best, much more intimate. ❤The day should definitely be about you and Kenny first and everything else next. I had a hard time in school during my teenage years too with bullying and feeling isolated and very much misunderstood. That stuff stays with you for years. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Helps a lot when you know someone else out there can relate. I love all the vids. I do watch them usually on Sunday mornings with my cup of tea. 🍵Keep them coming. Sending lots of love from Bermuda!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@krentu]

I started watching your videos few weeks ago again and since then your videos are pretty much everything I watch (there is a lot to catch up :) ). I am so glad that you share your life with us. What I like most (besides the amazing scenes of your home and the countryside and cooking) is that despite hundreds of thousands subscribers your channel still feels so down to earth and small in a good way (no extravagant PR trips and massive boxes of PR products). I am so happy for you and thank you for making my Sundays better :)

[@carysmaychaney1044]

Your videos are so calming and I love your content 😊💛 looking forward to watching all your Cotswolds content and wishing you all the luck with your new home journey. X

[@megcreates2.0]

Can I give you this advice…❤ When you get your home in Cotswolds and if you decide to live somewhere else for a bit don’t sell it. Rent it out. That way you keep your dream place.❤

[@anniebadyal5028]

What an absolutely lovely video!!!!! Also, thank you for the hot chocolate recipe!!!!! I’m going to give it a go this evening. Love the you are keeping your current home after you move to the Cotswolds. So smart!! Also, i think there is so much you get from your time at uni aside from academics that it is time well spent and benefits one in so many ways!! Thank you for a wonderful catch up!

[@celeste.122]

[@sabinehaberlein4504]

The best wedding I have been to was this low-key, relaxed, closest family & friends affair in the tiniest church in the Netherlands. Totally unexpected - bec the background was quite wealthy. Absolutely loved it ! 🤍🍃

[@HannahAdkins]

This sounds so gorgeous! 🤍

[@noemiebena4664]

Hi Hannah, I don’t have any other social media except of KZbin but your channel is my favorite since many years now and I really wanted to say thank you for all your advices and deep honest talks that helped me many times in my life and decisions that I made. You are such a peacefull, calm and warm person, stay as you are ❤️ Take care x Noémie

[@ChandraPhillips-qe9vl]

Hi! I love your videos. They are so relaxing to watch and I love all the gorgeous scenery. Thank you!

[@flosp6842]

Loved this video Hannah and thank you for being so honest and vulnerable - you are a gem! 🥰 I always thought I’d have a big wedding but we have complicated family including a set of divorced parents so we eloped to New York and married in Central Park and it was the best decision! Meant we could drag out celebrating for an entire year as we visited people 😆 Wishing you all the happiness x

[@Wendelien93]

Hi Hannah! I just love your video’s and look forward to them every week :). I just wanted to let you know my take upon the wedding issue. I got married last year. Both my husband and I hate to be the centre of attention and we thought the wedding was going to be (honestly) a bit of a waste of a lot of money. However, it really was the most beautiful day of our lives and the best money spend ever! We only invited 70 persons, being our closests friends and family, who where there the whole day (so not a few of them only attending for example the party). And this really was the best decision ever! It wasn’t too much, it was just perfect. And because everybody was invited for the entire day, everybody connected with each other which made the day even more special. You are marrying for you, as you said, and not for anybody else. So just invite only who you really want to be there! We didn’t want to have to introduce ourselves to new people on our wedding, so we didn’t. I hope you and Kenny can get married on a short term, and in which ever way you want your wedding to look! :) xxx

[@jisoolove7499]

I have been watching your videos for a few months now and it was really nice to get to know you better in this video!♥ I'm so happy to have found your channel

more cozy girly chats please :3 this one felt like a real friend to friend one

[@sonjamouton2060]

Hi Hannah, i totally understand your doubts about the wedding. I am 54 and married for the first time this weekend! I met my man 2 years ago. In the morning we had the legal ceremony and lunch with 25 family members. In the evening we had a wedding party with 65 people (family, friends, colleagues) consisting of a reception, a personal ceremony and a dance party till 1 am. Yes, planning was a bit stressy but the day itself was filled with love, friendship and laughter and soooooo fantastic! I wish you both the same experience. Btw, due to personal circomstances we are not living together for another 3 years (but only 5 kms apart). And so true about being single! I became single at 50 after a relation of 20 years so i never thought of meeting another perfect man. I embraced single live and had my share of all the fun (and less fun) with all sorts of men. And one moment, totally not expected, i met the right one!

[@kerrylausier6361]

I have no doubt you will find a home in the Cotswolds with the same energy. Btw, I think you would love dried curly willow in your fall decorating. It’s my personal favorite ❤️

[@melaniesunshine1951]

I am so happy to find out about your thoughts on the big, extravagant wedding. That's what I had always thought you'd have a huge wedding. I agree that is then becomes about the wedding and not about the marriage itself. People plan and prepare for this one day, then up end being disappointed because the marriage is work and the wedding is fun. Not that marriage isn't also fun. I hope this makes sense.

I agree about a big wedding. I would elope. You’re right, being married is the best bit. ❤

[@AllsWell77]

Hannah, I guess my maternal instinct kicked in and I heard you mention the bullying before in grade school. That hurts my heart! I'm glad you were able to come through that awful storm, which of course would leave a scar. I swear bullies aim for the kindest people with the softest hearts. As a parent (which I am not) I cannot fathom how hurtful it must feel. Anyhoo. Im happy you got to the other side in good health and with such an open and social demeanor.❤

[@missjools1]

Hi Hannah, Would you share with us, which KZbinrs you follow and love to watch. ❤️

[@julied2881]

We had a very small wedding in the backyard with close family only. Hired a chef, had very good bubbles and wines and spent time of quality with everyone. We too are two persons who don’t like to have attention and that evening was perfect! Still together after 23 years and no wedding bills to pay 😊 Do what feels good for you, not for YT ❤

[@digitalfxpertagenc]

Good to see you again and wish you a wonderful day

[@eborth5427]

Small weddings are where it’s at. My sister got married in summer of 2020 which was full on Covid time. They got married in our garden which is a few acres, they had paid for all their teepee hire and all their outfits so they got the beautiful wedding, I stayed at her house the night before and drove her in my car to my house. She was allowed 30 people. It super beautiful as she studied fashion, but so small and intimate. I made her cake, we cooked a bbq and danced the night away with a saxophonist to Ibiza type music, a bar, sitting outside around fire pits…she even featured in a Scottish wedding magazine. Everyone said it was the best wedding ever, simply because it was small, if I could get married again it’s how I would do it 😊

[@MehakAmd]

Such a calming vibe❤

[@cherylbalint3083]

I love your videos so much! They are my Sunday treat!

[@hollyc4624]

Thank you Hannah for the cosy Sunday video. Can you share your hot chocolate recipe please? We had a small-medium sized wedding and now I look back and think there were pros and cons. I love the small wedding idea and would have done that too. Weddings have gotten so over the top which isn’t for everyone. There biggest positive about the wedding piece is to remember fondly the people who were there to celebrate your marriage with you both. We have been married over 30 years and also would have been happy just skipping the wedding bit and going straight to marriage. Enjoy your upcoming trip to Thailand!

[@megansmith3589]

I’d love more fitness type videos or just general health / wellbeing! It seems to be a big part in your life so would be nice to see some more of it in vlogs what not x

[@leahelwood2856]

I really do hope you eventually get the low key wedding that you’d like as I would have loved that but as much as we initially tried there were just too many people wanting to be involved and it was all very overwhelming so I ended up giving in and having everyone there, half of who I don’t even see anymore so it was just a lot of expense that ended up being about everyone else rather than what we wanted but I’m happy to say that 20 years later we’re still together🥰 It seems so long ago now and it goes very fast so I hope you and Kenny stick to what you both want and don’t be swayed by others thinking they know what’s best for you😘👍

[@jillenglish5878]

Your wedding day should be about the two of you, and enjoyable, not stressful. I would look for a venue in the Cotswolds with rooms, and see if Kenny's family could come over for a month or so and combine the wedding with a holiday. If you would feel more comfortable with a small laid back wedding then you should choose that option.

[@aliyahprontaut3912]

Have you thought about putting together a course OR taking on a consultant role on how to get started in KZbin? Taking what you taught people when at L’Oréal to others…? Like me for example. :) I am going to DM you as well. ❤
