12
I want to show you guys all the BTS of being a bridesmaid.
13
So if you're an upcoming bridesmaid or if you're an upcoming bride, first of all, congrats.
14
Second of all, let's enjoy these vibes.
15
This is the first time that I've ever been a bridesmaid and I'm very, very excited.
16
I do need to put on some eye masks though because I'm not doing well.
17
It's actually cold today, which is not really the vibe because it's a sunny Florida beach wedding, but I honestly don't mind.
18
You guys know if you're a subscriber, I love the cold, but I did have to change my outfit plans.
19
So I'm literally wearing my twilight shirt that I wear all the freaking time.
20
And I was gonna wear like this very cute like Key West style little seashell top, but it is way too cold for that.
21
Also you guys, I got my nails done.
22
How absolutely gorgeous.
23
It kind of looks like the Funny Bunny Hailey Bieber nails, but they're a little bit more nude.
24
I put chrome on top and I'm just obsessed.
25
I actually haven't gotten my nails done in a very long time.
26
When I'm at home in LA, I usually just do press-ons, but I wanted something very legit, something that won't fall off during the wedding.
27
And I usually do like dip powder with tip, but we did a press or a pre.
28
I don't know, but I like it.
29
It kind of feels like having press-ons, but you know, they actually do it professionally and it stays on.
30
So that's the vibe.
31
I'm going to take you guys on this road trip with me.
32
It's literally gonna take us like two hours to get there.
33
It's not bad, but i'm obviously packing snacks I've got my headphones
34
So we're gonna be vlogging in between this camera and my phone.
35
It is what it is I'm gonna get what I can get.
36
Let's get into the vlog Two hours later
37
and we have officially made it I'm gonna give you guys

49
I love when I'm on vacation and I can just like sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.
50
You can kind of see the ocean over there and there's a marina.
51
I'm just gonna start getting ready, put on my outfit, do my makeup, and fix my hair because I desperately need it.
52
And then it's time to rehearse!
53
We are officially ready.
54
I was gonna wear my false eyelashes
55
and I was gonna wear them for the wedding tomorrow
56
but I really don't like how they came out
57
so I'm just not gonna try because if I mess up and I look bad in these photos for eternity, I'm gonna be angry, okay?
58
Let's do an outfit of the day.
59
I think this necklace is from Shein.
60
I got it from my mom.
61

72
but I'm wearing my heels to practice walking in the sand with them, and I'm low-key regretting it, but look how pretty.
73
Most of you know me as Marcelo's sister, some of you guys know me as Sophie's friend, but most importantly, I'm their matchmaker.

75
Good morning.
76
It's coronation day.
77
It's coronation day.
78
I'm very tired.
79
My eyes were incredibly red this morning.
80
I used one of those like eye drop relief for redness and it helped so so much.
81
I think it was because I was wearing contact lenses yesterday and I never wear my contacts.
82
I just keep my glasses on because I hate the feeling of the contacts.
83
So they were feeling a little bit dry.
84
I will be wearing my contacts today of course and I'm gonna take them off mid-party because I'm trying to be comfy.
85

Step-by-step Shadowing Guide
If you're looking to improve your English pronunciation and overall fluency, consider using a technique called shadowspeak. This approach allows you to learn English with YouTube videos, just like this wedding vlog, by mimicking the speaker’s tone, inflection, and pace. Here’s how to effectively tackle this video:
- Watch and Listen: Start by watching the video without subtitles. Pay attention to the speaker's pronunciation and rhythm.
- Repeat and Imitate: Play short segments of the video and pause frequently. Try to repeat what she says as closely as possible, focusing on mimicry of her expressions and emotions.
- Use Subtitles: Turn on the subtitles to reinforce what you've heard. This helps in recognizing written words that match the spoken ones.
- Record Yourself: After some practice, record your voice while shadowing. Listen to your pronunciation and compare it to the speaker's to identify areas for improvement.
- Practice Regularly: Consistency is key. Make shadowspeaks part of your daily routine to improve and track your progress over time.
By incorporating these strategies, you won’t just enjoy engaging content but also improve your English skills in a fun and relatable way.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
