Rachel Uchitel on Rehearsing Their Wedding Dance for Weeks

Welcome back to The Pre Nup, where we unpack weddings the way real couples experience them.

This week, Adriana sits down with Rachel Uchitel, host of the Miss Understood podcast, to talk about her unforgettable New Year’s Eve wedding at home in Palm Beach and the personal choices that shaped the day.

They start with why Rachel chose December 31st as her wedding date (years after first manifesting it on her own show) and what it meant to begin a new chapter on a literal clean slate. From there, they dive into planning a luxury at-home wedding, the realities of guest list tension, and how family dynamics shift when you’re blending lives later in life.

Rachel shares the sentimental details that made the celebration uniquely hers: honoring her late father by using his wedding band, subtle nods to her New York roots, and involving her daughter in everything from dress shopping to choreography. She also opens up about lessons from past marriages, the importance of feeling truly seen by your partner, and why she believes a prenup is one of the smartest decisions couples can make.

The episode closes with a candid conversation about marrying later in life, choosing partnership over pressure, and what it really means to feel safe, supported, and understood.
