LCBride2007

I don't know yet what I am doing for music. I am thinking about the mariachi band for the cocktail hour - but I think it's a 2 hour min. so maybe also the ceremony and dinner? I don't know how well the mariachi band would go for the ceremony and dinner - but I would think it would work. Then maybe a DJ for after dinner. I just don't want to have to worry about music - that's not my thing! FI may try to put a play list together, but not sure.

I think the thing that I've started to hate the most is driving because when I first started I was driving about 600 miles a week, I felt like I was always in my car and even now if FI asks me to go to the store 2 minutes down the road, I just don't want to go, its like I hate the car now!! WTF is wrong with me, I am losing it! i am SO not complaining at all about WFH right now - i love it, since i am never home, it's quite a treat. but i think if i were to do it 100% i'd go insane. i'd just have to make sure i did things to get out and about like the gym, errands, etc. i literally don't leave the house for 2-3 days at times! 600 miles a week - YUCK! i think i MIGHT go that far in a month. if i try!

ooohhh - i like that one too. especially since these are my colors! good work.

i haven't been doing them - but i need to get on the ball. i've never been a regular either - so haven't seen the benefits. but i've heard great things!

there are definitely downfalls to working from home too! i am primarily on the road 100% (in different states), so i do enjoy it since i get to be at home. but i do go VERY stir crazy and crave interaction! i also have a hard time motivating myself to shower and dress in the morning. lol

i know - and OHare (and United) are especially bad. grrrrr i am glad i got to work from home this week. one of my coworkers tried to go to Raleigh Sun night, then Mon night - she just gave up and worked from home too!

i am in Chicago now - but we're moving to MN in April. i was born/raised in MN but moved to Chicago a year and a half ago for FI - but now we're moving back (yay!). but i've been hearing about the weather - blah. FI is flying home today from Raleigh - was supposed to be on United. saw they were delaying his flight, so bought a 1-way ticket on Southwest to come home. all of the United flights were cancelled - but he's on his way home, and on time! whew!

eeeeewwww! sounds like MN is getting hit too! i just did cindy again - i need to mix it up a little!

We Want Lime!! We Want Lime!! We Want Lime!! We Want Lime!!

I am sure it will all work out in the end - but I am also sure you don't want to hear that! I am guessing every bride is different, and I say this because I haven't even thought about what flowers I will have, and haven't decided what I want for music, or any of that - let alone ask for quotes! And I am jsut a couple weeks behind you. But I am also a huge procrastinator! I think you should set expectations and say "I expect to hear back by xx/xx/xxxx" or something. Not sure if that will work though. Maybe you can get a hold of her manager at Dreams and explain your frustrations, like Amy suggested?

first of all, sorry for hijacking your thread, Cooper! be sure to post a little bit about yourself here, so we can find you when we need you! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/f98/ Quote: Originally Posted by jthrasherphoto.com well.... yes.... there ARE other forums, but they are for photographers, not brides. So technically, I'm not cheating besides... I love it here well, i'll let it slide then! this must be the time of year for photogs to work on their site - i think leigh is doing the same thing, she posted this a while ago - http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t2898 can't wait for the unveilings!

you sure you're not cheating on us and spending time on a different forum? Hmmmm? HMMMM?

jonathan - where have you been lately? hiding? shooting weddings? (better share!)

oh boy, he's already addicted! i think this forum actually might impact the productivity level of the entire country, well, continent! it can probably be felt on the financial markets. i see the headline now ... ...the dow jones industrial avergage drops today due to increase in BDW forum chatting ....

oh the suspense ... i love the first one so far. how long do we have to wait for the lime one!?

I am considering the fire dancers as well. I know non-Las Caletas brides who have had them, and loved them. But I would be interested in hearing from the Las Caletas brides as well.

Plus, now I get even more special days!!! agreed - i like our wedding date to be special on it's own. i would have picked a date like our first date or the day we met or something, we just don't know those. i am SO not an "anniversary" person when you're dating - lol. i wouldn't want our wedding date to be shared with a birthday or any other holiday - since something always would have to be compromised - either the birthday or the wedding anniversary!

welcome, Vi! let us know how we can help!

welcome! you must be getting excited - your date is creeping up soon! let us know how we can help you ... that's what we're all here for!

we never even tried to find a "meaningful" date - but i kind of wish we would have! the date we have was just available. although it probably is pretty close to us being together for 4 years - we just never had a first date or anything to go by!

i'd invite them, but maybe tell them you'd understand if they didn't come.

i have faith in you - i am SO not creative, and i figured it out! i am rather handy w/an iron and scissors though!

i cleaned it up for ya!
