Eli Rallo, who is set to get married in June, opens up to PEOPLE about the “pressure” she feels surrounding making content

The influencer says that, because her audience helped get her where she is today, she wants “them to like the wedding” as much as she does

Earlier this month, Rallo published her second book, an essay collection titled Does Anyone Else Feel This Way? about navigating the quarter-life crisis

Eli Rallo shares her entire life online — and her wedding will be no different.

In November 2024, the influencer, known across social media for honest life advice, announced that she had gotten engaged, and later shared that she would be holding her wedding on the Jersey Shore in June.

In the lead-up to the big day, the internet personality has pulled back the curtain on the extensive planning process, from her journey to find the perfect venue to the month-by-month breakdown she created to make sure everything is set when she walks down the aisle. And in a video in May, Rallo shared that she cares “a lot” about “getting really great content” during the celebration, so much so that she has hired a content creator and several more videographers to help her create as much content during the wedding as possible.

In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE to promote the launch of her new essay collection Does Anyone Else Feel This Way?, Rallo opened up about the pressure she feels surrounding content creation during her wedding — and how she feels like it largely comes from within.

“I know that I could post the worst content ever and it would do really well because the algorithm likes wedding content and they reward that kind of stuff,” says the creator. “So I am putting pressure on myself to make it good.”

Adds Rallo: “Also I feel that so many of the reasons that I'm the person I am today and have the resources I have is because of my audience, so I want them to like the wedding. I want them to like my wedding the same way I want them to like any content that I create on a daily basis.”

Earlier this year, TikTok was taken over by influencer Jazmyn Smith’s wedding (attended by none other than Rallo) — which went viral for Smith’s detailed content strategy that allowed her to post dozens of videos during the big day.

“I do feel the pressure,” acknowledges Rallo. “I think that if I didn't do this for work, it would definitely be a priority of mine to live my life like phones weren't involved. I unfortunately don't remember what it's like to feel that way because it is my job to post.”

Rallo’s new essay collection, a follow-up to 2023’s I Didn’t Know I Need This, tackles the quarter-life crisis, including everything from musings on maintaining healthy relationships to her own personal trajectory.

But, more than anything, Rallo emphasizes to PEOPLE that she's learned in her later twenties that it’s impossible to have your own trajectory planned out.

“I think that people expect that reaching these milestones will bring you this peace and it just does not,” says Rallo.

“And that does not mean I'm not happy or so excited,” she continues, referencing her engagement. “But inner peace does not come from external milestones or checkpoints that you reach that you also set for yourself. Inner peace does not come from getting married. Inner peace does not come from having a baby.”

“I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what is going on. I don't even know how I'm getting married,” Rallo says. “I'm going to be 28 when I'm getting married — that's above average age for women, which is insane honestly, because I feel so young."

Does Anyone Else Feel This Way? is now available from Harvest Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, wherever books are sold.
