Your Wedding, Your Rules: Tuning Out the Noise to Own Your Big Day w/ DJ ESG

What's up, guys? Djesg on its wedding advice, season number six. And today I'm talking about the Inedible, the elephant in the room. Stop taking other people's advice. Doesn't matter if it's your parents, your siblings, your bridal party friends, family, random guests. Stop taking other people's advice. You're gonna drive yourself absolutely batshit, fucking crazy. These people have not been there with you throughout the entire planning process, from soup to nuts, all those long nights where you looked over colors and materials and this, and that all by yourself, over and over and over and over. And then here comes the peanut gallery telling you to do this and do that and play this song, play that song, wear that, wear this. Change here, change there. Serve the food this way, serve the food that way. Sit here, sit there. Don't listen to this. Do this this time. No, stop it. Stop listening to what other people have to say, and the worst thing you could do is listen to what they have to say the morning after, if you're listening to people complain I didn't like the chicken. The DJ didn't play that song when I asked them to. It was a little bit hot in there.

Those are the negative people that you don't need in your life to begin with, anybody who's a positive person, who's only gonna tell you good things, no matter if they're bad things or good things. They're only going to tell you positive, good things to make you happy and to keep a smile on your face. Every pain in the ass. People are the ones that tell you this and tell you that and are skeptical and cynical and, you know, try to have you second guess decisions you've made that you pondered over for hours and hours on end. Just stop it. Don't listen to it. You have to just put it away, put it in a dark place, like a really dark place, sticking your basement in, lock the door. Don't listen to it. People drive themselves crazy, second guessing things that they don't need to second guess or asking themselves several times things that don't need to be asked, because people get involved that have no say and don't matter in the overall conversation. They didn't pay for anything, they weren't part of the planning process, they're not you.

When it's over, you're not going home and sleeping with that person At least I hope not and if it's that kind of party, we'll talk. Listen, parents are gonna say what parents are gonna say they're gonna be happy because you're happy. Siblings are gonna be happy because you're happy. Friends are gonna be happy because you're happy. If friends and family and siblings and parents all start complaining about something or another, they're not there for moral support. They're paying the ass, absolute paying the ass. They're there just to pick everything apart that you've done and shove it back in your face. Why, I don't know. Boredom, maybe they're not getting married, maybe they're not happy with the new relationship. But stop listening to people. It's your big day. Trust me. It's great advice. I'm DJ ESG. I'll be back.
