An individual remarked, “I learn so much from your vlogs—awesome! Keep them coming.” Another added, “Very Western, sit-down dinner! Maybe show us a truly ethnic wedding… country style. Tradition is getting lost. Sad, really, as with modern-day lifestyle, I guess children won’t want to embrace the ‘old’ way of celebrations."

A third expressed, “One thing that puzzles me is most people don't dress up for a wedding.” A fourth wrote, “Thank you for the video.”
