REBROADCAST: The wedding comparison game: A fun little game all engaged couples play when they compare their wedding to every wedding they attend or see on social media in the months leading up to their big day.

Toxic thoughts include: "Why didn't we get the 3-foot high centerpieces? They look so good", "Thank god we went for the chicken instead of this awful fish" and "A sparkler exit? Now I want one!"

Whether your wedding "wins" or "loses" when you compare, it doesn't feel great. You're inviting in toxic thoughts and it's an ugly place to be leading up to your own wedding. Stop comparing your wedding to everyone else's with the six tips in today's episode!

If you're an organized person planning a reasonably small wedding, do you actually need a day-of coordinator? Is it worth adding another $1000-3000 to your wedding budget if you can do the job yourself? Or are DOCs actually worth the cost? Do they really save you time, stress and work?

In today's episode, I'm breaking down what a day of coordinator does (and how that's different from a wedding planner or venue coordinator), sharing how they could save you and your loved ones stress and extra work, and discussing what to do if a DOC isn't in your budget. Plus, I'm getting into why I didn't hire a wedding coordinator for my own wedding (but maybe wish I had!).

From parent/child dances to who pays for the wedding, this is a list of items that people are begging engaged folks to just retire already. I'll go through the list, give my take and hopefully give you something to think about. Do these traditions work for you? Will you be including them in your wedding?
