Bees to Honey
So as of late, it seems like I am honey attracting many bees. Let me explain...
As I am in the process of organizing my Mughal-E-Azam matrimonial event, I am being approached by matrimonial event organizers and vendors to partner up for my shindig. So far, I haven't met one potential partner who can offer me anything more unique than the ideas I have re: my event.
So last evening, one matrimonial event organizer who is huge in the Indo-Pak community and runs a large South Asian bridal expo each year in various states, asked me to give him a chance to partner up. He had wanted to meet for an early dinner so that I could consider his proposal. We met up at a desi restaurant but, needless to say, after evaluating his less-than-stellar sales pitch and ideas, I wasn't interested.
The story gets better...
As he is Hindu, he began to insult Muslims and, specifically, Pakistanis. He was a motor mouth who babbled non-stop in his quest to win some superiority battle (me thinks!) and said many negative things about our faith and people. As my event has a Mughal theme to it, he also bashed the Mughals for subjugating his people and keeping them under their thumb.
After I refused his sales pitch, he then had the nerve to laugh and ask me if he himself can reserve a seat to the event as he is looking to marry a Muslim girl! He was serious. I was appalled and stated "NO" though with a smile so that I didn't come across as too Stalin-ish! Anyhow, he got the point and we ended the dinner on a less-than-comfortable note.
Be careful of weirdo freaks, folks (this piece of advice especially goes out to all Muslim ladies out there). I don't know what the agenda of some of these "business folk" is out there but be sure to always be careful when making business deals with strangers. Always clarify their agenda and analyze the situation. Last but not least, never give an answer/sign a contract on the spot! Go home, think it through very, very carefully, verify the information with others and only then take any next steps.

Also...you're right...I don't need a partner for the event and, as for sponsorship, I am definitely getting that from established national and local businesses. Insh'allah it will be an amazing event.
Besides your idea is original and you don't seem to really need a partner. If capital is an issue get local businesses in your area to sponsor the event.
