Bermello Wedding Cancelled and I wouldn't be reporting on this sad development for this Developer's daughter, except for the fact that the Herald saw fit to devote much ink to it in the Herald and El Nuevo Herald.
I read the article and was struck by the excess.
The plan was for a two month honeymoon, a rehearsal dinner with 100 at the Four Seasons, two designer wedding dresses (one for the nups and one for the reception). The wedding was suppose to be for 500 people at the Mandarin Oriental. What could that cost? I wanted to know.
I went to Mandarin’s website and, of course, the menu downloads didn't work. I called and found out an AVERAGE package is $250 to $300 per person and add tax and service. Since we must figure this is not an AVERAGE wedding, let's say $500 per person with flowers and odds and ends...$250,000 at least. Well, golly, now that it is cancelled, the Bermello’s can afford to give away one affordable housing unit.

..well if this comes to pass, at least we have one afordable unit!
What a beginning of a good idea, all the mega-rich people can give an affordable unit to someone in need and get a tax break. no middle-man to take all the dough in administration costs. that is what happens with trickle down efforts, the money goes to the wrong people.
and to think that Natasha was the Maid of Honor...Oh well, maybe next time.
