 Ashley Oliver Thomas of Yoga and Mahogany knows football and weddings. She had a stunning May 2023 wedding and grew up in the world of sports thanks to her dad. She was the perfect guest to power rank wedding vendors, much like the sports pods rank teams, players, and coaches. We ranked 15 wedding vendors -- which do you think made the top?

One of our first episodes was with pre-marital counselors and officiants Min. Michael and Larraine Forrester from A Relationship Ministry. They explained to us the different counseling styles, why couples should heed red flags, the benefits of relationship mentors, and so much more.

One of our favorite episodes was a 2-parter with the renowned DJ R-Tistic. This half was about the wedding reception and the songs that accompany it.

We talk about how to get the guests dancing, what songs work best for the entrances and first dance, what songs get the old folks up, and more. This is the episode you've been waiting for, truly.
