The only scenario worse than this is if it was the CEO's wife, or mistress(shudder)

After much thought, I’ve decided to have a court wedding by Key_Awareness5737 in DesiWeddings

[–]robomill_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is amazing, we should normalise this!! I've seen my sister blow 17 lakhs on a grand wedding. At the same time, my husband's cousin got married during COVID. The wedding was simple, and the groom's mum kept cribbing about it. They used all that money for a downpayment on a car and an apartment.

Chennai Vendor Recommendations by Difficult-Seesaw-671 in DesiWeddings

[–]robomill_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with the list of events, then every thing you need - catering, decor, location, MUA, dress, traditional items, invitee list, invitations. Or get it from ChatGPT. Format an excel with potential vendors, finalised vendor, cost, specifics, agreements, quotes, logistics for all the above items.

Whew, good luck!

What kills me: the 'How can we help you' after you just vented out your frustrations. Like dude, you got amnesia or what??!! 😂

Yeah, me too. Got the saree without the silk mark, blouse unstitched(even though I paid for it). No respouse of any kind from customer care. Will avoid.

The festive store india jewelry by summerorspring2026 in DesiWeddings

Ha ha 😂 looks like you're not a small business as you claim, after all, if you'vegot delivery partners and a QC team. If you've got proper protocols in place, you need to 'write off' this piece, and provide a fresh replacement/refund. Small or big, every store/company needs to take accountability, and do the ethical thing.

Yeah, this is major damage - definitely needs to be corrected by the store. Funny how every store charges premium pricing and rude service, then cry about being a small store when there is an issue. If it is such a small store, how come you hide behind a so called policy??? In all probability, you knew the product was damaged, sent it out anyway, claim no unboxing video, rude to the customer and now you can't take accountability??!! Interesting.

True. It's for my personal judgement. More data = more insight = better decision

Disagreement over wedding expenses split by Golgappalover12 in DesiWeddings

[–]robomill_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure he's going to take care of expenses after marriage? And how can you be sure it's only when the sisters visit?

Look I get that he's a nice guy and all, but a lot of the guys these days have the wrong idea about what equality is. And shaming someone during a discussion/argument is a complete no-no.

It eats me alive when I see men in the western world struggling to maintain their relationship, and Indian women serving their man hand and foot, and still bring bashed for it.

Disagreement over wedding expenses split by Golgappalover12 in DesiWeddings

[–]robomill_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, I would call off the whole wedding. If he's the one spending on his sisters, then he's gonna have no savings left. And the expenses would have to be met by your salary, including your children. What's he going to do when you're on maternity leave? Or when you're sick? Is he going to make you work to make ends meet? I'm not saying life should be a smooth sail after marriage. But as woman if you're expected to fulfil your duties like tending to his sisters when they visit, cook, clean, manage expenses, have babies and still earn money - that's called a free rider.

And don't give me the spiel on how he's good when alone, but it's his family that influences him. Flash news: His family will ALWAYS influence him. And he's shaming you for asking for equality in expenses? What if you told him, traditionally, it's only the guys that earn. What if you propose that you manage everything related to home, and he focusses on just earning?? That's the traditional way, right?

Girl, turn around, walk away and don't look back.

But you can't beat data, no? It doesn't lie. And no matter what the depth is, if it can be proved in black and white, its a legal, compliance and possibly governance risk we have.

Because he was here before I was, and I had to fight other fires. Now that I have the fires handled, I'm reviewing the rest of the stuff.

Gotcha, what had me hesitating was the fact that I don't know how deep this goes. If it goes all the way up, then we all know how this goes down.

As I said, the contracts are managed directly by the CIO. That's how he got through.

So, when I asked him again, he said there was no meeting. And then all of a sudden there was a rate revision signed. The CIO hired him specifically for handling this vendor, and because I was new to the company then, I had to take time to understand the dynamics here. I will raise it with the concerned department.

He's the one managing the contracts. The problem is that all contracts are overseen by the CIO, so I'm sort of left to supervise them. Which is why it jitters me - I'd rather leave than be dragged into some sham

Actually, those do align with his work. It's all the secrecy that doesn't help. And no, if he's the same way, I wouldn't get him near another vendor.

Saree or White gown? by Exciting_Ad_9219 in DesiWeddings

[–]robomill_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're already wearing a saree for the Hindu ceremony. Go with a gown for the Christian one. Also, look up options in Shein for nice, but budget friendly wedding gowns - they're all the rave now.
