The Midwest Brides and Brides-to-Be Members Social Group is for all BDW members residing in the Midwest. This is our place to share all things local and specific to our region. Maybe you found an amazing dress shop or attended a wedding at a venue we should know about, or perhaps you have ideas for great date nights. If it is about the Midwest, share it here! There may even be a contest or two Welcome, everyone! Let's celebrate our unique locale! Let us know a little bit about you and what brought you to the Best Destination Wedding Forum.

congrats!! how have you been feeling? i hope you have a great time! I'm not prego, nor do I ever plan to be again but I'm tagging along too.

I love Theodore to be honest, and the nickname Theo! I almost want to have another kid just so I can name them ... that part is fun to me too. In the meantime, I'll just chat here about names since we're DONE! lol For boys I love the name Kellan still ... didn't get to use it, but oh well. And Our 2nd would have been Natalie if it was a girl.

carly, i joined yours!

hi! i didn't have an AHR but many do, so maybe try searching and/or posting in this forum? i bet there are a lot of good ideas out there! http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/f/130/at-home-reception-ahr

if you think about the fact that you don't have to spend any money on food it's much easier to spend the $$! gosh, i don't remember what we paid but it was over 4 years ago so it wouldn't be accurate anyway ... maybe $130 per night per person?

do you have an area in MX that you've narrowed it down to? i just wonder if this question was asked in a specific area if you might get more responses! i don't know of any, since i wasn't married at a hotel i didn't look into this so I'm not much help!

We didn't get married there, but our whole group stayed at Dreams PV and loved it - it's an all inclusive and the price was great, especially for all that you get. We had about 6 kids in our group too - ages about 6-10, and they had a blast! And the food was really good too!

Hi, Carly! I've told you this already, but I'm so sorry for your TTC and pregnancy struggles and am soooo glad you're prego and can't wait to meet your baby! I too had 2 losses. I got prego w/my daughter very easy and she was born in May 2008. Then when I went to get prego for the 2nd time I figured it would be just as easy. Well, we got pregnant easy enough but I lost the first one, quite early - I'm calling it a chemical pregnancy even though a doctor didn't diagnose that. Then I got prego again and lost this one around 11-12 weeks. I ended up having to have a D&C around 12 weeks. Then I got prego for the 4th time and my son was born in October 2010. My struggle was never getting pregnany (I was very lucky there and got pregnant every time we tried) but rather staying pregnant! My daughter was born 8 weeks early and then the 2 losses, and then my son was born 3.5 weeks early. I was very closely monitored in my last pregnancy for fear of another premature birth. But I now have 2 happy, healthy kids!

that's awesome - and a sign of a true friendship with you can talk openly like that. yay!

I want to remind you all to post your reviews of Caletas when you get back - it will make it so much easier for future brides to plan their weddings! http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/products/las-caletas-adventure-weddings

This is part of the reason that I am glad I didn't have a wedding party! Blah - too much drama. But I'd just call her out and ask her if she's upset about something. I mean, the alternative is going on with this game, and then maybe even going on with it during the wedding. You really don't want that. Maybe give her an out - tell her that if this kind of stuff is going to cause problems in your relationship then maybe she can step down and just help when she has time.

i feel like they're teething for the first 2 years of their little lives! sean (now 1!!) got his first 4 teeth all in one weekend. yikes! he wasn't as crabby as you'd expect but man teeth #9 and #10 have him in so much pain. i feel awful, and nothing seems to work!

welcome! i'm another long time member and this site saved me from feeling lost while planning a DW. good luck, and have fun!

oooohhh the suspense!

i don't know if it's the same one as when i got married 4 years ago, but i have a link to my video in my siggy!

i never got around do diggign through my pics. ahhh! congrats, abbie!

this is an awesome idea! i can't wait to see all of the pictures people post.

did you try the FAQ at the bottom of your page?

do a little reading, you'll see it could take a few days

on my laptop its slow and sometimes even kicks me out. however when i log onto my husbands computer it's fine, but his is much newer and updated.

I haven't experienced anything like this, but perhaps you can provide more detail (like what exactly you were clicking on)? Also, have you tried this on another computer, or is it always the same one?

I had both Kelley and Nicole (the WC before Kelley) at my wedding and both were amazing. So given the track record I am sure that the next WC will be amazing as well! And I don't think I started discussing details w/Nicole until just a few weeks before our wedding so don't worry, it will get taken care of - they're amazing there!
