From Overwhelmed AF to Becoming a Badass DIY Bride

Picture this: little ol’ me, freshly engaged and freaking the fuck out. Overwhelmed AF? Understatement of the year. Enter: the overpriced wedding planner with more upsells than a fast food joint at 2 AM. But here’s where shit gets real—I fired their ass! Why? ‘Cause I realized I could totally own this wedding planning game. Fast forward eight months, and boom! Dream wedding? Check. Bank account still intact? Double-check.

Ayla in da house — Some fun facts about your no-BS virtual wedding planner and your new favorite third wheel

I’m a 5’3″ foul-mouthed soccer mom and wife, obsessed with helping rebellious couples break up with their greedy wedding planners. My journey began not as a planner, but as a fed-up bride sick of ridiculous prices and generic wedding packages that didn’t reflect my relationship. Tired of wedding planners seeing you as walking credit card? I felt the same. So I said, “fuck it,” fired my overpriced wedding planner, and took control to plan my dream wedding on my own terms.

That’s right— I planned the entire thing from my laptop!

Proving that anyone can craft their perfect day without a hefty price tag or a clipboard-wielding planner hovering over them. And now? I’m hell-bent on helping you do the same.
