From Vegas to "I Do": My Journey to a Stress-Free Wedding

I thought I'd be a lifelong single gal—until a spontaneous trip to Vegas changed everything. A chance meeting led me to my person, and three and a half years later, a very nervous man popped the question to a completely shocked me.

With no formal event-planning experience and a background in tech and business, I was completely overwhelmed by the costs of hiring wedding vendors. It felt less like planning a wedding and more like preparing for a coronation! Determined not to spend more on my wedding than my first house, I took matters into my own hands—hiring only essential vendors and DIYing the rest.

But here's what I didn't realize: I manage complex projects every day at work, yet somehow choosing centerpieces was making me cry! After my big ugly cry on the bathroom floor at 2 AM, it hit me—what if I treated my wedding like a work project? The moment I applied the same systematic approach I use in my corporate role, everything clicked. Wedding planning went from chaos to calm.

Now, I’m sharing that same system to help other brides create their dream wedding without the stress or the sky-high price tag.
