oh Natalie, we're sooooo excited for you! Another little BDW boy! And I love the name Cooper ... I'm going to call him Coop. lol

There are all kinds on here - some that never want children, some that didn't think they did but now do, some that do but just not yet, and some that have always known they wanted children. All very honorable choices, it's a very personal decision. I have a ton of respect for people that choose not to have kids. I have always known I wanted children - badly - I have always wanted a family, and couldn't wait until the time was right. I was always the neighborhood babysitter, and everyone knows that when there is a baby or child in hte room, I am more likely to spend them with them than the adults. It's a sickness, really. lol While I always knew I wanted them, I didn't get married just so I could have babies. I wanted to wait until the time was right. I've always said that there's a difference between wanting a baby, and wanting to be a mother - at least there is to me. I've always "wanted a baby" but I am now ready to be a mother. But my situation is a little different - I was married before, and had that worked out I'd probably have at least 2 kids by now. I was ready a little while ago. But I am 33, will be 34 in January, and am just ready now. And I don't think most people should really worry about it at that age - but my diabetes makes it a lot more complicated - I am already a high-risk pregnancy. All of his siblings didn't have kids until their late 30s or 40s. And yes, that did come into play when deciding to have kids now rather than wait a year. But really, Paul and I are ready to make a family. He's also always known he wanted to be a father - so we're a good match! I have no idea if what I said makes any sense - it was more of a brain dump!

Paul and I want to go back just to go on the day tour, or the Rythems of the Night - and we will, hopefully soon! If you're interested - I have all of my pictures in the links in my siggy. There are quite a few NY gals on the forum - they may or may not see this thread since it's titled "Las Caletas" (and that's OUR specialty!) so if you do have some NY questions, maybe post a new thread here ... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/mainland-us/

Melissa - I am sorry about grandma, that has to be tough. I'm sure you're doing the right thing for you and your family. I was married in June (right after Jamy/starchild!) at Las Caletas. Andn you're right - it was absolutely THE most amazing experience. It was everything we were looking for ... we had never seen Caletas until the day of our wedding. You could always go back there for a vow renewal!

sorry i cant help - my ring isn't custon, and i got it in Chicago! but anyway - sorry to hijack ... Lizzy, have you ever posted Mag's ring?

just let me know if you have any questions for her - i have immediate access! lol well, at least for this week and next.

So I am back at an old client site - and yesterday one of the women showed me her website that she has, and she sells jewelry. i saw quite a few pieces that may work for some brides, so i thought i'd post it on here. there were a lot of really pretty blue pieces that i know people are often looking for! Jewelry some of the necklaces ... some earings ... some bracelets ...

I've just sent my donation. Thanks again for organizing this, Christine.

it's gorgeous - very simple, and stunning!

Happy birthday! I hope you get to do something today that puts a smile on your face.

is there a checkbox in the upper right corner of your post? if so, can you click that and then go down to the bottom of the entire thread, select "delete threads" or is that just moderators?

It's probably just another one of those wierd quirks of this forum, sometimes you can do it and sometimes you can't. Very strange... Quote: Originally Posted by IrieBride08 Yeah, that is weird. I just checked and my delete option wasn't there. Very Odd... i thought maybe you could just delete your own, but mods could delete everyone's? no idea!

oh wow - i hadn't thought of that. we are definitely on a mission to clean up the forum, and that includes deleting old posts or merging duplicate/similar posts. we had never thought that it would delete your post count!

Quote: Originally Posted by Sarah Umm...I'm the opposite of Ann. I am now facing my full box of nearly 200. For some reason I feel like I have to keep these. DELETE! lol well, i'm not all that phobic - I have about 125 messages in there! lol the good thing about the PM box is that there is a limit on it, so you can't have too many in there!

I am a clutter-phobe, I just HATE clutter! So I am constantly cleaning my PM box out. Good reminder, Christine!

alright - that's it then. when we're 76, i'll meet you at Las Caletas ... look for me, i'll be the wrinkly old bag w/a corona in my hand!

Quote: Originally Posted by starchild Maybe we can retire in PV and volunteer as LC docents...ha! Will and Paul would be somewhere drinking Corona while we hold on to the dream ) no joke - i'd love to do something like that! but can't our dream include a corona for us too? lol

I just can't help myself!

I know I am a day early - but I've just been sooooo excited, I can't help it. And I will be on-site at my client tomorrow, and I wanted to make sure this got posted. Brooke and Gen - I hope your Las Caletas wedding is just as amazing as mine was (and Jamy's, etc.!). Hurry back and share all of your stories and pictures with us ... we're all sending you happy wedding vibes! (I just haven't used the dancing bunny in a while, it seemed appropriate!)

your neighbors aren't going to recognize you ... "what happened to the shut in??!!" it looks FABULOUS! makes me think I should get a trim ...

congrats, ladies!

she was already busted and came clean! lol http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ing-susan.html

I hope you have a fabulous birthday, Tammy!
