We cancelled our UK wedding and eloped just the 2 of us to New York and married in Central Park.

I got married at eighteen to my hubby, I was four and a half months pregnant. We'd met at the end of March and by the middle of April he'd asked me to marry him. I moved in with him in the May found out I was expecting in August and we married in the October. I borrowed the white full dress off a friend, there was about a handful of guests. We married in a church with no flowers, music and it cost £45 that my dad paid for. We didn't have a reception, we went back to our flat, my mum had done food, had a cake made. We didn't have a honeymoon. The following March we had our daughter, she was our first, followed with three boys. So twenty-five years later we are still very much in love and our 24,23,20 & 18 year old kids are very happy. Our three son also have autism and other disabilities but they live like anyone else and are very independent. We've not looked back, you can spend silly amounts on weddings but do the marriages last? Sadly not always, if you love each other and want to spend the rest of you're lives together nothing else matters. I love watching you're posts, your blessed with a wonderful family and the boys are brilliant. I love grounded people who embrace who they are and not what others expect. Keep the posts coming xxxx

" A wedding doesn't make a marriage".

I got married at 16, wedding cost £500 and Honestly we didn't enjoy having everyone's eyes on us and having to spend most of the day dashing about. The best part of the day was leaving together knowing we were husband and wife and would be spending the rest of our lives together . We've been married 24yrs now and our love just grows stronger and stronger. An expensive wedding isn't needed, Being married is about love not just one day and a party. You two are adorable 💏

I love how honest and real you guys are, it's so refreshing to see. You are so good together, thanks for sharing, it was really helpful 💕💕

You're both so down-to-earth and I love all the points you made about the real value of a wedding - the actual marriage. Money doesn't have to be the primary factor

i absolutely love how organic and honest you both are, there is always a lot of fluff regarding weddings and it truly sets the bar high, as well as the expectations! It's nice to hear some truth behind weddings and takes a lot of the pressure off!xx

Jordan is so funny in this! Love this attitude towards weddings

Our wedding costs us nearly 40 grand! And I felt all the pressure in the world for it to be the best day of my life. Thank you for making this video as it has confirmed what I was too afraid to admit. Our wedding day was chaos , amongst the glitz and glamour of our beautiful wedding venue, expensive catering and fresh flower walls everywhere, I felt under so much pressure to make sure I looked amazing, everyone was happy and every photo would look flattering. None of this ended up going to plan! But I’ll allways remember the laughs and amazing feeling my family and husband gave me on the day. Was it the best day of my life! No? And often I don’t believe people when they say their wedding day was. So thank you again for shining light on this as not a lot of people would admit to this!

My wedding day was amazing. It was in Mexico on the beach with so many of our family and friends. It was everything. Best week of my entire life.

You don’t need to have a big fancy fiesta to show each other you love one another. Loved this! So refreshing. You do youuuu! Xx

This was so refreshing to watch, you two are so down to earth and relatable. Money isn't everything and you are definitely not getting married for the right reasons if spending tonnes of money on luxury and extravagance is the.most important thing! x

Just been recommenced this. You’re such a likeable couple, so down to earth. You were the same ages as me and my hubby were when we got married 🙂 just celebrated our twelfth anniversary x

Totally agree that a wedding shouldn't cost slot of money, itsnwho you Are marrying his most important and that you love each other xx

I got married in santorini with 37 guests - it was perfect. You two should renew your vowels there someday 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ love you two together - so down to earth xxxx

You guys and your whole attitude is so refreshing 🙌🙌

I am so glad you have made this video. I am getting married on Christmas Eve at a registry office with only our immediate family as witnesses. It took so long for our parents to come around to the idea as they dreamed of a big lavish wedding for us, but we have a son and just wanted to be married and have that family unit. It is like you have explained exactly what was on my mind! Was so upset because I did not want to hurt anybody in the process but with the money we have saved we are using it as a deposit to buy a home. You have made me feel so much better so thank you!

Great down to earth couple! I'm not actually married myself, but for young couples that are thinking of tieing the knot this was a really great way to let people know that it hasn't got to be all over the top, get in debt for, & just to fulfil other people's enjoyment & to feel you have to live up to people's perceptions, do what is right for you & what YOU can afford! By the way Lucy where's your white/grey jumper from Hun?, it's lovely. X

Loved watching this..... restored by faith in relationships as a whole. Good vibes 💗🙌🏾

it’s nice to see a couple laid back about it all. I personally hate wearing rings and dread having to wear one everyday 😂😂

Love how real you both are!

THANK YOU you two for this!! My partner and I have recently got engaged and we are shocked by the pressure we have felt to have "the perfect" wedding. This is exactly what we needed to watch and hear!! Please do a more in depth vlog about budget wedding tips etc, and a wedding under £1000 sounds great!! Xxx

Your soo real, and I loved this video. But my wedding day really was the best day of my life I wouldn't have changed 1 thing, it really was the most breathtaking day of my life. It's nice to see another perspective though. ❤️

This is so cute! You two got married for the right reasons and will probably stay together forever. So many people rush into expensive marriages that don’t last nowadays and it’s refreshing to see that you two are just so happy and content as you are. ❤️

You are the most sincerest couple and as a family of four you seem so happy and so in love. Hope you and your boys have a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year 😘

My husband and I went to NYC and got married by ourselves, it was amazing and I wouldn’t change a thing! We had a reception when we got home to include everybody else.. (and so I could wear my dress twice!) xx

Such a great video. I also feel like my wedding day wasn’t the bed day of y life. I had post natal depression but didn’t realise what was wrong with me! I never felt like I could admit it wasn’t the best day of my life. So great to hear it’s not just me! Xx

My mum and step dad go to the Maldives every year and I’ve been 3 times which I’m privileged to be able to do, our family tend to spend money on holiday rather than new cars and designer things. We don’t go to these massively expensive islands, but it’s the best place in the world, you want to cry all the time when you’re there at how amazing it is. I would take everyone so they could experience it just once in their life, please go, you won’t regret it, all the best x

Totally agree, love your honesty & really love your family ❤

I’ve just got engaged and if you did do a vid on budget weddings that’d be fab!💕💕💕

Aww I love how you said you're favourite part is actually being married over the wedding day 🙌. I totally agree! I love being married to my best friend ❤️

Love you two together! Budget wedding video would be great!! Xx

SO WORTH GOING TO MALDIVES OF BORA BORA!! I’ve been to the Maldives and it’s magical, seriously couldn’t recommend more. So special❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your such a lovely young girl. U respect and listen to all your family !

Your the cutest couple!! Love how you interact together xxx

Please do more videos together, I absolutely love you two ❤️ cracking up at the wedding song story 😂😂❤️❤️

You guys are so down to earth and so funny. Love you guys together. Jordon is so good looking and funny and fun to watch. And him saying his favorite part was...... gettin into bed 😂😂😂😂 so honest! The end had me rolling, is it 😆

Yes please do the wedding on a budget challenge!! Would love that 😚 x

I would love to see a wedding challenge video! Love you so much

Omg thank you so much for this. We were so wrapped up with having the perfect wedding, we spent 30k on ours and shortly afterwards I had a mental breakdown and was signed off work for two months. There was so much drama with friends and family demanding things that it just became an event to make everyone else happy. Thank you for being so honest! There is so much pressure for it to be the happiest day of your life so when it isn’t you feel like you’ve majorly failed! X

Such a nice video, your attitude is sooo refreshing! Love your jumper Lucy! Jordan is soo funny my dad also had no idea what was going on at my parents wedding! Such a lovely video as per usual xx

Ahhh you’ve got a new fan! girl your unbelievable so down to earth and real! Loving the vibe, your fella is unreal aswell love how yous are together xxx

Loved this! I love seeing you both together,!! You are so suited ♥

You guys are so relatable 😊

both have me in stitches such a lovely couple!

Money doesn’t make weddings, love makes weddings

I loved this video! Me and my fiancée want to get married next year and we have been looking at Vegas we don’t want a big wedding can’t afford it and don’t like being centre of attention or inviting people don’t speak too! This has helped me out a lot as my family have turned there nose up at my decision however it is up to us at the end of the day and why waste money you don’t have when you can have a nice house and honeymoon. I’d love you to do a budget wedding tips video. Love you videos Lucy xx

Aww what a great video 🤗...you are so right there is so much pressure these days to have the perfect wedding day.....you are such a lovely couple and your wedding pics are gorgeous 😘

Me and my hubby are exactly the same, We also had our 2 children on our wedding day. My mum was so excited so I was happy to let her plan it and go along with it been her only daughter as I would of married him in a bin bag I wasn’t bothered. Love being married

Me and my partner went to the Maldives to the island of Kuredu and it was amazing and beautiful! I highly recommend going-the wedding area on the beach looked stunning

Your guys' wedding photos look classic and beautiful!

What a lovely couple! So nice to watch x

I’ve been to the Maldives, we went for our honeymoon. It’s so expensive to go, but worth every single penny! My favourite place on Earth x

I've not been to Boro bora but we had our honeymoon in The Maldives and went back again 4 years later. It is absolute HEAVEN on earth. Reethi Beach Resort. It's a must!

What a gorgeous couple 😘...loved this video and totally agree with everything you both said....too much pressure on you to have the perfect wedding day now. Your photos were stunning 😘

I think a lot of people focus way to much on the wedding day, when it’s not about that but the life you are committing to each other. And everyone always seems to want to out do each other with big weddings. We had a small wedding (although it cost a lot!!) but I have the best marriage and that’s all that matters!! X

We were looking at Maldives for our honeymoon but now we looking more at Bali as there is a lot more to do but still looks like paradise ❤️

It just shows you don’t need to spend loads on everything to have a good day, your wedding looked amazing and I think weddings you hear about and see are unrealistic! It’s all about the memories and the love x

Went to the Maldives for our honeymoon, was 100% worth it. Would recommend to any couple. Vid uploaded if you want to see our experience, we also coupled it with a stop to Dubai.

The Maldives is incredible, stunningly beautiful. I was in ore everywhere I looked

And you Lucy have such a lovely personality xx

Jordan throughout this video is sooo funny😂 "I'm not talkative when I'm hungry" 😂 I absolutely love you as a couple and am so grateful you made this video! As a girl there's so much pressure from other female friends about how amazing is your dress going to be and your ring and your hair and it can be too much! 💖

Ive always stood by the fact the wedding doesnt make the marriage - been proven to me as well. I was a bridesmaid for my brother when he was just 18. Cheapest wedding, under £1000... everything handmade and second hand back in 2003. Church was free as they were already members and used the hall attached for the reception. My Dad had a DJ set from his 'dj days' and everyone chipped in. All the love and work tho to avoid expense I still heard 'itll never last' my sister in law was pregnant at the time. I was then a bridesmaid again for my cousin several years later, she did it all. From dress fittings in Paris to various venues for photos before the ceremony to lavish food and band.... my bridesmaid dress was actually a top and skirt and alone at just 12 was over £300. Well you wont be surprised when i say my brother is still happily married to this day... however my cousin is not. So after recently getting engaged ive promised myself to set a budget what we can afford and have and to stick to it... cos as you've said and i fully agree the wedding does not make the marriage. ❤❤

Renew your wedding vows in Bermuda! Its beautiful there, that's where i'm from xx

You BOTH make a BEAUTIFUL Couple... So.... Funny to watch the interaction Keep LOVING each other FOREVER... BEAUTIFUL FAMILY now that your Twins are here is even that much more SOLID.... GBY ALL ❤💙💙💙💖💖🧸🙏🎉

Hahaha I'm in stitches what was your favourite part of your wedding day .."Jordan getting into bed 😂😂😂😂😂

Deffinately the Maldives! We had our honeymoon there and it is literally paradise. Never seen sand so white and sea so blue! The only thing is every holiday you go on after just doesn't compare haha! Love your videos 😘 x

Great vlog. ! I’m getting married in March me and my partner are doing it very small and intimate 10 guest and more in evening at a lovely venue done it cheaper than the original idea but having a small wedding is good I hope as having a big one can be very expensive but overwhelming to ! Xxx

I had to laugh so hard about the part with the Wedding Song :D My Husband is just the same . Love you two together

Im just finding you and your blogs (which i love btw and have been binge watching) i got married very cheap too. We got married on our 9th anniversary. Already had 2 kids. Pregnant with the 3rd. Went away for our anniversary alone together and secretly eloped. No guests other than 2 witnesses. Came back few days later married. Best decision ever made and id do it again. Been together 12yrs and married nearly 3 now.

I love the title of this video! I also loved your wedding post on instagram the other week. My wedding day was awesome, but I’ve been too ashamed to say that it wasn’t the best day of my life, until you have admitted that yours wasn’t. I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I unfortunately got too swept up in the moment and invited a few people who I wouldn’t necessarily have invited now. It put a downer on it looking back, because I don’t see them now and have only seen them twice since the wedding and have since found out that they weren’t necesssarily very nice people. Secondly, it rained on my July wedding day and we had picked a venue that really was only perfect in the sunshine (my bad, I know!). As much as everyone says ‘rain shouldn’t ruin your wedding day’ (and it didn’t, it was still amazing!), it just meant that the ‘wow’ element of the day was missing because guests couldn’t explore the beautiful venue and gardens properly due to the weather, and were huddled under parasols for post ceremony drinks. I’ve tried and tried to get over that just over a year on from the wedding, but it will always stay with me that it rained on my wedding day, whilst I’ve seen a lot of people I know getting married on beautiful sunny days. Some people might think that’s ridiculous of me to feel that way, but every bride has a vision for their day (whatever that vision may be) and mine was for all my guess to be drinking champagne on the lawn in the sunshine. I really take my hat off to you for publically admitting that, even though your wedding was awesome and beautiful, it wasn’t the absolute best day of your life, because I feel exactly the same xxx

You guys are awesome. So funny and down to earth 😊❤️

Jordan is so funny 😂😂😂 Another brilliant video 🥰

You sure jorden was even at your wedding 😂😂😂 you two are fab so funny 💖💖💖

My wedding day cost around £150/£200 for everything including clothing. 6 family members were the guests and it was the most wonderful day ever. Was romantic & intimate with the people who support and love us the most. It’s our 4 year wedding anniversary this month❤️

I love how you are talking about the fact that you don’t need a huge massive wedding. I feel like when you do that it’s more for the guests then the actual bride and groom. Yeh obviously they do it for themselves to but the majority of it is entertaining the guests etc. My mum got married in Vegas and it was perfect. She had been married to my dad once before and she did that here in the U.K. she went to Vegas because my grandpa had died and she wanted something different then the last time as it was rushed because my grandpa was very poorly and she wanted him to give her away he ended up pulling through for another 5 years. They were engaged field ages they just hadn’t got round to it. Vegas weddings aren’t just getting married by Elvis etc. There was only me, my aunt, my uncle, my sister and my grandma there. It was perfect!

Definitely go to Maldives!

Maldives I went to this year- I never get holidays blues nor the need to return to anywhere once I’ve already been but Maldives is absolutely incredible have severe holiday blues and we are going again next year! Would say though, pay the extra money and go somewhere a bit more expensive as you get for what you pay for out there!

Love this video! I’d love to be married but because I want a marriage not a wedding, it would be lovely to celebrate our love with family but just a good party or go to a restaurant. Such a lovely video x

I’m due to get married in 15 weeks and We’ve cancelled it twice due to covid, lost my job and lost family member the last 8 months so we’ve decided a small intimate ceremony and a meal is what is best. 👌. A massive wedding just isn’t everything any more. X

Omg Jordan cracks me up. Love you two 🤣❤️

Ah we did ours on £2.5k 38 guests. 50 at the church and 38 for a meal at the restaurant we had our 1st date on. My dress in the sale £100. Valentine's day wedding. 3 and a half weeks notice. Job done. 8 years in Feb and happier than ever. You don't need tonnes of money or all the time frame. If you want to do it you will do it. Great video you two.x

My wedding was on a budget too and was around £5000. But yes I am the same, I LOVE being married more than i loved the day. I also used loads of gypsophila 😂 Your wedding sounds pretty similar to mine X

We got married in Mauritius with just our best friends and it was so chilled and cheap (for a wedding). We then had a party back home with friends and family but it was a lot more stressful trying to please everyone. You are totally right though, for me it's about being married not the wedding xxx

Thank you so much for this video doll, you are a really lovely couple and listening to this is like hearing me speak about my own wedding! It’s been so nice because I always felt this terrible regret about my wedding as to why I didn’t enjoy it! I’m happily married we don’t wear rings and like you we wanna do a renewal with us and our two boys somewhere exotic. It’s so nice to know I’m not the only one who feels the day is over rated, we spent near 20k on woke up the next day so happy to be married but thinking omg we could have paid that off our mortgage. My first son was also 18 months at the time too xxx

Bloody hell I married a French man..spur the moment thing...cost £370 ..lasted 10 yrs ...he was only on one those student exchange haha...had 2 beauts of daughters ...plus biker hubbys are the best...been bought up in biker fam and the fun times I member from my dad doin enduros and tt...is all bout family fun ..which for me ..all those memories of sleeping in the car coz of a bike event ..were the best times and priceless xxxxx

Am getting married in the us this year p, the smallest wedding of 14 of us, all we need xxx

I've been to the Maldives...it's amazing like a dream...you should experience it! thank you for sharing your story...lots of love from egypt

I got married at 21 :) still love him to this day :)

Your pictures are beautiful and you guys are just so lovely. Me and dan pretty much feel the exact same. We had lorenzo at ours and he was 15 months and just attached to us both and we were so concerned about him because there was so many people. Loved this video xx

Pictures are stunning! X

Yes a budget wedding video! X

I agree the wedding shouldn't be the be all and end all. We did our wedding as cheaply as possible too. We could have afforded a more expensive wedding but we preferred to buy a family home. It's not the wedding that's important, it's the marriage. We had a lovely day and everyone always says that our wedding was beautiful as it was so relaxed. My wedding dress was £48 from Ebay! X

Should come to Australia for your vows...love you guys and your family and how your keeping it real

I feel like I’m joining in with the conversation!!🤣

I relate so much! I had a fab day but we did it on the cheap. Cost about 2k in total. People get sucked into they hype of this big white wedding and then get in debt for years! it’s about love not money xx

Such a gorgeous looking couple xx

Beautiful couple x

Asian weddings are so expensive and stressful! Both of you looked so gorgeous and happy! OMG look at Jenson! 😘

I feel the same re. not the best day of my life - would be a bad start to have the best day of your life over by the end of your wedding day! The only way is down 😂 my wedding was fine but it was definitely for our parents/grandparents/families. Like a family reunion. Looking back I’d rather not have had all the attention etc. Nice day but as you say TODAY is the best day ever 🤗🤗
