- Project Summary
- Score: 5 of 5. Perfect.
- 'Is this real?" - that's how I felt on that day mesmerized, joyous and felling extremely content. Saie and I nailed it. We impressed our parents and our guests had a ball. I could tell reading between the lines.

  - A lot could have gone wrong. It didn't. #thankyougraceπŸ•‰οΈ.
  - I yelled, we fought then adjusted pre-wedding as I found weirdness in Saie's behavior when around her parents. It crescendo'd in love making. I let it go now. Pre Wedding Fight

  - Our decision to find and book @Saphire Estate proved wonderful. Wedding Venue was good. Food was top notch to the extend of people inquiring about it.
  - I budged 100K Pre 2022marketcrash but after we had hired the planner with 45K budget. It costed of about 80-100K total with about 40K from my pocket.
  - P/Bachelor Party was fun. I appreciate @Simon Vuong initiating, motivating and organizing this. Good times with @matt alioto, @Simon Vuong and @Leo G. We have a permanent whatsapp group now.
  - P/Saie Bachelorette did not happen. @Pari K failed. And the wedding sealed the deal for me. It could have been very very lonely for me. It could have been a seeded bitterness in my relationship with #saie. I was saved for my friends. I have still not forgiven. I might forgive but #willnotforget.

  - We will forever be nostalgic about our Home - Avalon, Boston Apt 3605. It hosted all pre-wedding ceremonies. Hosted our parents. A solid P/House Warming and Court Marriage party for all to come and see. **The penthouse balcony stays etched on Boston skyline and into our hearts.**

  - I had a fusion wedding and we blew past that budget, it was under $50k but still pretty expensive. I would say to keep the guest list SMALL, a==void using real florals (it’s a trap!!),== and for jewelry, can you borrow the nicest stuff that your parents have? I’m not Indian and my MIL gave me jewelry for the wedding that she had owned for years. It worked great and was really special
  - Good breakdown of cost for $30K wedding
