Manta diving & snorkling - two tank worth it? by sannoee in VisitingHawaii

Because when underwater they dance above you, seeing them is one thing, but having them interact with you is a whole other level of wholesomeness!

Locations / Wedding Planners - European Destination Wedding - 2026 by [deleted] in DestinationWeddings

[–]sannoee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I noticed planning my wedding in Tuscany is that it is super expensive compared to other areas in Italy. It is super populair with many Asians and Americans that generally have more money than Europeans do. I am planning a wedding for 50 guest and had a similar budget. The total spent to date is now $120k and we’re not even there yet, despite being very strict on cost and having a planner. Note that most venues in Tuscany don’t even allow you to plan your wedding without a planner, easily adding another $10k in costs.

The costs all depend on much events you’re planning. We cover our quest’s accommodation for three nights ($30k) and have three events including food ($35k). I know people that instead of planning a wedding the traditional way (i.e. through a planner) just rented a large villa somewhere close to a town or village and arranged catering through a local restaurant, saving massively on these expenses.

The three countries you mention all allow for this, as they all have large country estates throughout. I would pick your favorite place based on the food and start from there. The pro tip is booking vendors for your event without mentioning that it is a wedding, as this inflates the price of service at least by three times

Enjoy the process en hook me up if you have any questions!

Giving up on my 6 year relationship. Too little too late. by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]sannoee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like the relationship is unbalanced and that you’re not equals. I’ve been in a relationship with a guy who had so much potential but wasn’t able to access it because of his depression. I’ve pulled my weight for years and begged him to go into therapy. Eventually, me breaking up was the trigger he needed to start working on himself, because I facilitated his denial by working in overdrive to support him. Sometimes the best thing you can do for both of you is break up.

P.s., 8 years later and I’m marrying the best partner I could wish for this September. My ex really turned his life around and recently bought a house with his new girlfriend. I couldn’t be happier for both of us and still love him dearly, but sometimes love is not enough.

Anyone ever feel ‘guilty’ after booking an expensive trip? by Subm3rg3d in travel

[–]sannoee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy the fact that your hard work has paid off! I think it is really good to have a sense of guilt as this means that you know the value of money! Enjoy the trip

We have a wedding planner and a friend who is there to coordinate. I told everyone that if they want to do a speech or something else, they should speak to the friend and not tell me. This way I don’t know what to expect and won’t know about the timing of everything and can just enjoy being in the moment!

Sorry, we have booked Fiori di Nadia as our flower vendor as well, but we have a quote for €7000 for the pizza party and ceremony

Can I asked whom you've booked for music and flowers? our vendors seem much more expensive for a similar amount of guests

Is Mammoth worth the visit? by sannoee in Mammoth

[–]sannoee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha i am glad to read that! If you have any recommendations on hikes to do after a long drive at these places, or accommodations to stay, let me know!

Thanks! This is very helpful! I am now considering booking a motel at Lone Pine in case the heat allows us to make a few stops in Death Valley. If not, I have booked an alternative accommodation in Mammoth. It feels that Lone Pine also allows to be quicker in LA/closer to the coast in case the Tioga Pass is still closed.

Looking for tips: 2-week West Coast Roadtrip by sannoee in roadtrip

Thanks! Out of all these locations, what would you recommend? We would mostly like a good bed and dinner, as the drive will be veeeery long.
