that since the wedding in Bora Bora will be great, but smaller, why we don’t use the masquerade beach theme for the bridal, bachelorette and bachelor event instead?”
    â€œCan we call it something else?” Jaleen said, shaking his head. “Saying bridal, bachelorette and bachelor party every time is too much. How about we call it the triple-B party or something like that.”
    â€œFor planning purposes, the four of us can call it that,” Danni agreed. “But for the actual party we will need to think of an appropriate name for the invites.”
    â€œAre Winter and Taheim okay with us using that theme, since they originally wanted it for their reception in Bora Bora?” Ajay asked.
    Autumn nodded her head in agreement before responding. “Winter said they are fine with it and agree that it makes more sense. For the wedding and Bora Bora festivities, we are still sticking with the beach chic and sexy elegance theme.”
    â€œGreat.”
    â€œSo here’s the budget we’re working with.” Autumn pulled out her notebook with all the details she’d worked out already.
    â€œWhy, aren’t you prepared,” Danni said with a smile on her face. She had no doubt her friend was proud that she was finally getting involved. A part of her felt guilty for taking so long to get there.
    â€œNow, Winter told me that they really want a venue that’s in the countryside.”
    â€œSay what?” Jaleen said in surprise. “First they tell us they are tying the knot in Bora Bora, and now they want a countryside venue for the triple-B party?”
    â€œI can confirm,” Ajay responded. “Taheim said that’s what they wanted. He wanted to make sure I didn’t feel bad if they didn’t use one of my lounges or nightclubs. But I understand that they are looking for something different than what I own.”
    Danni glanced at Autumn’s notebook. “You would think that two city people like Winter and Taheim would want to stick with venues in the city.”
    â€œWith the two of them, we should have known they would do the unexpected. Hey,” Jaleen said, snapping his fingers. “What about calling the party something like Winter and Taheim Unveiled? And the tagline could be... ‘A grand masquerade affair. Expect the unexpected.’ Then we could follow with the date, time, and at the bottom of the invite, we could list the three Bs—bridal party, bachelorette party, bachelor party.”
    â€œThat’s a great idea.” Autumn quickly jotted it down in her notebook.
    â€œYeah, I’m surprised you came up with that,” Danni said sarcastically. Jaleen turned up an eyebrow.
    â€œI’m one of the owners of a marketing and advertising firm. It’s kind of what I do.”
    â€œWhen you’re not chasing women, right?”
    â€œAnyway,” Jaleen said, ignoring Danni’s last comment, “when the ladies of Elite Events planned a charity date auction last year, they didn’t disclose the location until it was close to the event. It was really secretive and the PR was great. We may not want to do the same thing since this is wedding related, but it’s something to think about to add mystery.”
    â€œThat’s a good idea, too. Since our dad will only be able to make the wedding, he insisted on paying for a large portion of this event. With the budget we already have, we’re in great shape. Since we have a healthy budget, what about choosing a venue that’s classic, yet mysterious, since we’re going with the masquerade theme?”
    â€œI like that,” Ajay said with Jaleen and Danni nodding their heads in agreement. “I actually have a friend who owns several rustic, yet glamorous, locations, and one is about an hour or so outside the city. I could reach out to him to see if they have any availability. What date are we shooting for?”
    â€œWell, the wedding is
