Katrina Axtell
Would you marry me?
Of course
Buenos dias!
So in case you haven't seen our last video
You should cause um, me and Katrina are engaged now
A lot of family and a lot of friends and a lot of fans saw that coming
and a lot more people were kinda shocked
Some didn't know we were a couple
Cause we're not super public about that kind of stuff
So we wanted to do a video explaining how all of this crazy thing happened
- So first we're going to explain how this whole thing happened
It started off when I was studying in Buenos Aires in 2015
Julian was there for his music and...
I stumbled upon one of his shows.
I guess we made an impression on each other because we became really good friends
Which lead to the two of us taking a road trip -video link below-
But to be honest, I fell in love with him way way before he fell in love with me
And I wasn't sure and I didn't say anything, so I kept my mouth shut and I just enjoyed
the friendship that we had
It was something that I wasn't willing to risk losing
- And we were both in different mindsets, We were both coming out of relationships
-Yeah. I left, I went back to Minnesota
We maintained really close contact. Anyway, a few months later I moved to Buenos Aires
Him and his roommate invited me to come live with them, so I moved in with them.
From that moment on, we spent almost every single day together, getting to know each other
During that time we were performing on the streets a lot
We were super broke, really stressed out all the time
And that was a super bonding experience for us as well
But one night we were talking about the future
And we both kind of admitted to the other that we could see ourselves
In each others lives 10 years, 20 years in the future
And we kinda had this moment where we realized
"We love each other, We want to be together"
And that was the moment that we kind of started "dating"
-A lot of people ask how we actually got engaged, who proposed
So we've been talking marriage ever since the day we started dating
Cause we had been together as friends for a long time so we knew what we were getting into
So we've been talking about it seriously for the last 6 months
And we've been wearing different fake rings for the last year or so
Just to get used to the idea -To see how engagement felt on us
Just a little addendum, I would say that maybe staying with that couple
That we really liked that they were engaged
I think that affected a tiny bit
So there wasn't really an actual proposal
I didn't get down on one knee or whatever
We just decided that we wanted to do it
We called our parents when we made the decision
And we weren't still "engaged"
We were driving to Seattle where we are right now and we said
Hey tomorrow let's in the morning go get our rings
In the afternoon let's get our engagement tattoos
And in the evening-ish
Let's go on a romantic place that we can exchange the rings at
And that ended up being a ferris wheel
When it comes to the wedding we wanted to be sure
That everyone that wanted to celebrate with us would have the opportunity
Cause we travel so much and I'm from Corrientes and we live in Buenos Aires
Katrina's from Minnesota, it got complicated fast
And the wedding planning is already killing me -The wedding itself
is going to be really small, just family and really close friends
We don't wanna exclude all the people who have supported us and who mean a lot to us
So what we're doing is having two receptions
We're having one in Minnesota and one in Corrientes
-We're not really fans of either big parties or tradition
When it comes to doing like a white dress and stuff
Like Katrina wants to get a white dress but not the normal ones
-It's going to be different
It's going to be...
Me
So far it sounds like the wedding itself is going to be in May
Followed by a reception in Minnesota
That would be around mid or late May
Um... but before that we're doing engagement parties in Buenos Aires and in Corrientes
Corrientes probably near the end of February
-And for the people that listen to our music in Argentina
We will love to do some meet ups to celebrate that
That will also be fun
-But our marriage is a little more complicated than most
Purely because we're from different countries, we have different citizenships
Neither of us can stay in the other's country for more than a certain amount of time
And there's a lot, a lot of legal stuff to deal with
Now you already know that weddings are pretty pricey
Especially in the US, people go crazy
Even though we wanna do something kind of simple
We do have a lot a lot of costs, mainly for legal reasons
There's costs for paying the lawyers helping us through the process
Actual costs that go to the government for both of us to get our Visas
Plane tickets
So that's going to be a big expense in our wedding
Now usually in weddings I see a lot of people get housewarming gifts
Like utensils for the kitchen, furniture, um, things to put in their new home
But since we live such a nomadic life, that's not practical for us
And so we were thinking, how can we allow people to help support us in this marriage?
And really for us the most helpful thing would be helping us cover those
Unconventional legal costs
And so we set up a registry that allows you to contribute whatever amount you'd like
And we have a few different topics, one of those is definitely the legal one
Which is the most important and the most immediate
But we also wanted to give you guys options,
if you would like to send us a gift, you can help contribute to our honeymoon
We also would like to start saving up for our very first home
When things have settled down a little bit
I know money is a really impersonal gift and we would really love to get letters
From anyone who'd like to send us one
Just to hear from you, maybe draw us a picture
-We're leaving two addresses, one in Minnesota and one in Corrientes
That you can send stuff to
-And we would definitely love to respond to you so make sure you leave your return address
So we can send you a letter or a picture back
-So thank you for being part of this
Thank you for supporting us and it's lovely to share something so personal with you guys
We didn't say goodbye yet, but okay -But I'm sending them kisses cause we're thankful
-Okay
-You're weird, stop that
