I thought your comment was very rude. Everyone on this site has been very nice except for you, so next time you see me ask a question why don't you leave it alone. oh gosh, you are dumber than i thought....

i have to update first and if i have time will add the suprise if the upgrade goes smoothly...wish me luck

i thought it would be fun if everyone posted their favorite (s) crock pot recipes... i'll add mine later...need to find it...actually i dont have a real recipe, just usually throw things together. but i do love to make in it: pot roast chillis stews

Hey Ladies, I am going to update the forum software and add a little suprise sometime this weekend since weekends are slowest on the forum. soooo...i am sure there will be issues...please do not PM me because i get so many that my box fills up everyday....just give it some time for me to work through the issues... thanks!

Oh, and Tammy you'll totally be able to do them. Plus you can always lay naked on your tummy until the bulge goes away...lol except i have stretch marks on my butt from the darn wedding i went to...it was a 4 hour drive each way and i think that caused it!!

Quote: Originally Posted by cabochick79 I was thinking of using Baja Weddings as my wedding coordinator, has anyone heard anything about them. you're funny...i keep on referring you to the search option of the forum but you choose not to do your due diligence and do a simple search and instead want everyone to spoonfeed the information to you. if you go to the navbar, between the "new post" and the "quick links" button, there is a "search" button... you should try it.

i made a chart of when guests were checking into the resort and every morning i would bring their bags down to the reception desk so they were given to guests as they checked in. it was an extra treat for them...and didnt cost me anythign extra (to deliver the bags was $5 each and i had like 60 bags)

ann is the queen of las caletas and a bunch of brides have posted some great info on the forum already...there is a seach button so just type in "caletas" and i am sure you will find what you are looking for

you can still do them...see if one of the photogs on here is available or can refer someone to you. i wish i did them too...especially since i am huge now and probably wont get my pre-pregnancy body back anytiome soon

Quote: Originally Posted by J&Bwedding That's a good question!? We're a little upset that some of our guests know that they could have saved $600-$800/couple by waiting. I just looked up the package on Expedia and 1 month ago it was $1775 which was pretty close to our deal, so it didn't matter. Now they have some sort of discount and it's around $1450... ouch! Of course Sunquest says they don't price match.. but they said they would reduce our rate by $100/person. unfortunately it does happen...prices fluctuate but usually the other way. so often by booking later, the rate either skyrockets or their is no availibity. also, with expedia rates, there is not an infinite amount of packages at that rate...sometimes just a few...

i did the beef tenderloin and sea bass, cheese/spinach ravioli and chocolate mousse that angela posted...they were so good. but i had the lobster and it was good...i wish i did it for my event...but oh well. nurse sarah did it for hers and i think natalie

Quote: Originally Posted by J&Bwedding We booked our package in Feb/07 and now we have found the same package for $400 per person cheaper. Our travel agent is attempting to calm our anxieties by letting us know that even airport transfers can be expensive and this adds to the price. So to put this to rest.. How much does it cost to get from the airport (Cancun) to Riu Palace Mexico? And what different styles of transportation can we arrange? (Taxi, shuttle van, limo etc) Thanks, Jason why is it cheaper now? the room rate or air? transfers for 2 will range about $60 for not direct to $100 for non-stop

its cheaper to have a private ceremony/reception at dreams since they charge a per person fee...i think riu charges per hour for an open bar but i could be mistaken. regarding room rates, they are pretty much the same normally unless one is having a sale.

i think bullfighting is cruel and so unfair...the matadors are given all these advantages to toruture and kill the bulls... i would never go...i think it is horrible.

i agree with ann...i would way rather do a home remodel...i hope to spin homes in the near future.

honestly, people are spending alot of $$ to attend your DW so to ask them to pay for to attend your welcome dinner will probably not be well received...sure no one will say it to your face but just my opinion. if you cant afford a full on welcome dinner, what about something simpler...chips, guac and margaritas...that cant be too much.

Quote: Originally Posted by Natalie Z I have a question, Jen posted on here not to drink a lot of soy milk if you are pregnant. I forgot to ask my doc when I was there but has anyone else been told this? I hate hate hate milk and I always drink soy, but lately I have been skipping out on soy and just using skim on my cereal every once in awhile. any advice i wasnt told not to drink soy milk...i think everything is ok in moderation. i know you are supposed to drink whole milk for the extra vitamins but those with gestation diabetes it sometimes can cause their blood levels to go through the roof.

i hate going to the post office...those people can be such jerks.

they look great...what a tease!

also, so much of it depends on when you check in and if it is available upon checkin...like 1/2 of my guests got a honeymoon suite...my sisters were so stoked..so were my parents...i was happy they go it but i guess we checked in when alot of people were checking out so they put us in the best available room they had upon checkin.

we usually give them a heads up that the couple is honeymooning but even with this, they get so busy at checkin that sometimes wires get crossed and information not passed along so it is ALWAYS a good idea to let the people know upon checkin that you are honeymooning/anniversary etc.
