Bye bye Accenture!
I had an online assessment round at Intuit and then a technical round. Both went good. But its been 15 days I am yet to hear back from them. Does intuit send closure/rejection email or is it just implicit? also what is the cooling period for intuit ? and what should be the expected ctc if things go right?

$3000. 50 ppl total. I’m glad we went small and didn’t pay an arm and a leg.
Lol we had it at a tiny chapel on the campus we met at in college. So we got an alumni discount. It was like $500 for the venue which was soooo cheap and perfect! Lol and feeding 50 ppl was cheap too.
$600 😂 includes meal, dress, flowers.
We had a 10-person wedding and it was very low key and awesome. Family not invited, mostly coworkers who were our friends. (We were abroad.) Someone lent us their boat and we got married barefoot on an island.
I know this is unconventional but this was exactly what I wanted. Never been much of a wedding person.
30K and not really. My husband wanted a big wedding. It’s nice looking at the pictures but the wedding isn’t for you. I don’t even recall hearing the string quartet.
Pro
My husband an I are Asian. We spent about $30,000 but with wedding gifts from family and friends we ended up making $35,000. We did it at a really nice Chinese restaurant with a 10 course meal in San Diego, which was our biggest expense but it covered food and reception venue for 240 people. Altar and tea ceremony were done at my parents house and we served lunch (whole roasted pig) for about 60 people too. Our costs also included paying for bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen tuxes as well and we splurged and got an ice cream truck to roll up to venue at 9pm since it was so hot. So our day ceremony cost us about 5-6k in food and ceremonial gifts. Evening reception was remaining 24-25k, with 16k being food and venue, and the rest was photographer, photo booth, ice cream truck, wedding cake, wedding dress/bridesmaid and tuxes for grooms side, alcohol. I felt we did very bare minimum (minus ice cream truck) and personally am pleased with how well we spent for everything we got. It’s been 7 years and our friends still talk about the food and ice cream truck
About $40k, parents foot the bill. Was it worth it? I go back and forth. Never again will we have all of our loved ones gathered in one room to celebrate us. We didn’t try to follow traditions, we threw a big ass party and made thoughtful decisions about what we wanted + what we thought our guests would enjoy. But on the flip side, married with 2 kids living in BK—$40k isn’t a full down payment for a house, but it’s a nice start.
Spend 38k (all expenses added up) 125ppl. Don’t get me wrong I loved my wedding day and our guests did too...but if you asked me if I had a chance to do it again what would I do? I would have a small intimate ceremony/reception with the absolute most important people in our lives at like a beautiful Airbnb property or something like that.
One of my friends did a backyard wedding due to COVID and as a guest I had an amazing time. It was beautifully set up, catered with waitstaff and all.
My biggest advice is don’t break the bank for a wedding, because you don’t always get your money back. We got about half of what we put in. Spend what you can afford. The day will be magical no matter what because of all the people and love that will surround you on that day.
