Weddings come with a lot of so-called “rules,” but here’s the truth — you can skip any tradition that doesn’t feel like you. In this episode, I’m walking you through 10 wedding rules I’d personally break without hesitation and giving you ideas for what to do instead.

We’re talking about:

-Why you don’t have to wait until the ceremony to see each other

-Uneven wedding parties (and how to make it work)

-Dessert ideas that aren’t cake

-The surprising history of the white wedding dress

-Guest list drama — and how to avoid it

-Skipping awkward traditions like bouquet tosses and garter removals

-Why most wedding favors end up in the trash

If a tradition makes you cringe, stresses you out, or just doesn’t feel right for your wedding — it’s time to break it and make your own rules.
