hi come on you know what to do
all right guys i'm leaving today we've vlogged about this a hundred times when
we've left and reunited so we're not gonna make this the focus of the video
focus of today's video is that we actually have some big news regarding our wedding
yeah so how about i'm gonna finish packing i'm gonna get ready because i you look gorgeous don't
you dare say you look anything less than an angel but hopefully we'll be reuniting soon won't we so
uh we'll talk a bit about that later but for now i'll get packing i'm gonna get ready you get ready
you look gorgeous anyway so you don't need to okay but we'll catch up with you guys in a few minutes
god just dirty from all the snow hi all righty i've almost finished packing um we were freaking
out while i was freaking out like crazy because i thought i lost my passport good thing i found my
passport otherwise i don't think i'd be heading back to the uk anytime soon snow is so bright
like squinting so much it is like i can't like see we're gonna head and grab some lunch now
and then let's have a little chat while we're eating lunch let's talk about our wedding talk
about when we're reuniting and basically just give a quick update on our lives and what we're doing
so we'll catch up with you guys in a minute guys we just gotta eat quickly a little bit because
we're everything so hangry the past few months have been absolutely ridiculous everywhere in
the world and we've had to make a decision on what we're going to be doing with our wedding
our wedding was planned for june 30th of this year however there's still a travel ban you can't dance
it can only be 50 people although that is changing in march his family can't even legally fly over
here and we don't know when the groom can't fly for his wedding yeah so we don't we wouldn't even
know when he can be here his family could be here everything like that so unfortunately we've had to
make the decision to postpone our wedding which is a really really big shame because we would be
married in literally like five months or months whatever but there's a bunch of variables that
have gone into this yeah and this is turning is like a mukbang isn't it there's a load of
variables that have gone into this my visa has been delayed indefinitely yeah we don't know
when is visas gonna be approved and we need that in order for him to get married here so that's
a big thing we don't know when it's gonna get approved some people have been waiting over two
years for theirs to get approved it should only really take six to eight months but everything's
delayed i haven't figured out anything with my house car or my assets in the uk yet
i need to figure out that out before i get married i need to sell my house before i move over here
um and basically the way this visa works i've applied for a k1 fiance visa some of you may
be familiar with it i know we've got a lot of people in long distance relationships following us
i'm getting a fiancee visa which allows me to marry monica in america once a visa approved
and then after i get married i apply to convert it to a spouse visa when i get a green card um so
that i can live and work in the united states that process takes like four months generally
although that's been delayed due to covert during that process that four month well four month two
indefinite process um i don't think i'm allowed to leave the united states of america someone please
correct me if i'm wrong that if i am wrong that'd be great but um during those four months and
obviously the months prior before we get married i'm in the u.s um i'm not going to be at my house
my car or anything so it makes sense to sell it before i come over on the k1 visa doesn't it
we made the decision that what we're going to do is like monica said we're postponing our big
ceremony but what we're going to do is as soon as my visa gets approved that could be next month
it could be next year as soon as that visa gets approved we're gonna have a really small intimate
family ceremony yeah which is literally just gonna be the bridal pass well the wedding party
and immediate family so it's going to be literally i think we did we josted it up there's going to be
about 20 people at the wedding 15 to 20 people at the wedding so we want to have that as soon
as the visas approved get legally married at a beautiful location we're looking at like yosemite
um the bahamas you know like a bunch of different cool locations like that it'd be cool to go down
to florida considering that's where we want to move to so that's the idea of that to uh to have
a really small intimate ceremony the year later when we can have a reception everything like that
that is when we would have like a blessing so it'd be like a year after getting married
so that's the idea so the visa will most likely get approved this year and then once it does that
is when we can get legally married very very small just family in the bridal party whatever and then
the next year we can have our big s like reception and everything like that which is gonna be
definitely not what i expected but i think monica yeah you've been so sad about this haven't you
yeah she's literally cried over it so many times just like not the dream wedding that
i wanted to have however that's that's exactly what you say every time like
you you know you you've always dreamed of this of this dream wedding getting married first look all
that kind of stuff doing it by the book so when we had to think about the possibility of doing
two weddings a small intimate legal ceremony and then a blessing potentially a year later
you just would you weren't having any of the idea at first why are you you're like
no i'm not doing it i'm not doing it let's just plan our waiting for when the visas approved
and i was like monica we don't know when the visas approved we cannot plan the wedding
until the visas are approved so unfortunately we're gonna have to work it this way don't we
so this is what we're gonna have to do i'm sure it'll still be beautiful but you know things don't
always work out as planned but everything happens for a reason so i think it's going to be a really
really amazing time regardless the whole important part is us getting married so i guess we'll just
see we're going to play everything by ear for now yeah so that's the big news we are see that's our
wedding in the last six to 12 months or so we pretty much physically have to be together every
single day and literally we cannot bet we can barely take breaks away from each other yeah i
think a lot of people don't understand that a lot of people be like you're always together but like
our work requires us together not not to mention the fact that we're filming like tic tocs every
day and stuff instagram reels every day in youtube multiple times a week and stuff like that
we have multiple businesses together we have to be together all the time to navigate that
this really started off five years ago as a long distance relationship and it's slowly evolving
into something else isn't it it's slowly evolving into into this sort of relationship where we
are spending a lot of time together a lot more time together than the average person in a
long distance relationship yeah which i'm feeling really really privileged about and really thankful
for that we can spend so much time together but at the end of the day we're still having to split
our time between two different homes you know two different cultures essentially and stuff like that
whereas eventually the dream is to actually be able to live together almost there guys we are
so close to that but that's just the update of what we're doing what's going on in our lives
and our wedding and everything like that so i'm gonna actually eat my burger i'm starting on my
burger yeah and we'll catch up with you guys it's time we're getting ready to go to the airport now
not a fun day so we're just gonna head to monica's parents house now to say goodbye
i'm only bringing a hand luggage with me so i've left so many clothes in new york kevin eye
so sam's been craving man uggs as an early valentine's gift oh
it's it it's it came in time my own pet oh yeah yep yep yeah oh bentley what do you think oh busy
what do you think babies what do you think you said that are you sad that sam's leaving bella

i gotta go now he looked at you like wait where you going and now we're going to grab
a quick starbucks for starbees as monica says where's your glasses it's not the right moment
for the glasses you know what i'm doing a pink chunk today i think you should yeah
all righty we're here i hate this you guys know that we try and remain as positive as
possible about all of this and the travel and the distance and stuff like that we
we want our account to be a beacon yeah we want long-distance relationships to come off as what
they are which is amazing and special and such an experience but there are some downs and this is
the down this is the reality of saying goodbye but overall long-distance relationships are
incredible and you want to know something that's even more incredible this is most likely like 85
the last time i'm dropping you off at the airport before we become a couple i mean
i mean touch wood plan is next time i come back i want it to be on the k1 visa so we get married and
then we do everything together at the same time as each other this could be this might actually be
the last time dropping off where it's like having to do long distance so think
of that like this is actually like an insane moment well we're here we're at the terminal
so much my future husband heck yes two or three weeks yeah okay we're gonna end the vlog here um
we're gonna say another little private goodbye we always do long-distance relationships are
freaking awesome okay don't let negative videos like this drag you down and make you think that
it's not worth it because it totally is but this is the worst part isn't it so give me a hug
we'll be reunited before you know it i'm so in love with you all right bye guys
