As someone who had a miscarriage last month, and JUST found out she was pregnant this month I feel I can put myself in your SIL's shoes a bit. I told my family right away last time about the pregnancy, and I told them right away again. This is a personal decision for me, as I am sure it was for her. And no, you don't always have to wait 3 months. I obviously didn't, nor have a few friends of mine. There isn't a person in the world whose wedding I'd plan a pregnancy around, except maybe mine! Not my sister, not my best friend, no one. Try not to make this a competition - it isn't at all. Surprisingly this isn't about you. Just go on to enjoy your wedding day ... that's about you and your FI. Let others do what they want!

P.S. Here is the new thread: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...st-here-51931/

well this is definitely a great opportunity for you to get into DWs and for a bride with a budget to get a great photographer!

Welcome to the new Caletas thread. This is the place to discuss and share everything Caletas. I was also thinking that we can post a link to everyone's reviews/photos in this first post so that it's a one-stop-shop for all Caletas reviews and such, and you don't have to sift through zillions of posts. **If you'd like a link to your review and/or photos thread added to this first post, please send me a PM with your name (username), wedding date, and the link and I will add it (do not just post it here as I might not see it)! If you are new to this forum, have just found this thread and have questions, please take a moment to read through this thread to see if your question has already been answered.

It's a sad day, I think this thread has lived a long, happy life and it's time for us to put it out of it's misery. Really though, I think it's just too big to be useful anymore. I can't imagine being a new LC bride/groom and having to come in and read through this monster just to find out what the table seating options are at Caletas (or whatever!). So much has changed since then that the first half of this thread probably isn't relevant anymore anyway. Not only that, this thread is 3 years old and was started back when I was the first and only Caletas bride on this forum! Ahhhh, but I digress ... Anyway, do not fear, I am going to close this thread and start a new one. I will leave this thread available in the meantime for reference, but you will no longer be able to post here. Now, a moment of silence .... Can you tell I am in a goofy mood today?

Yikes - can you read that?

As most of you know I maintain a spreadsheet of all of the Caletas couples getting married. It's come in handy quite a few times, so I want to keep it updated. BUT I admit, I've slacked off lately - there are just so many it's hard to keep up! Normally I'd just read up on the "main" Caletas thread, or skim the Newbie posts, but I know I am missing some people. Below is the list that I have, and I am sure that I am missing people and probably have some dates wrong. For those of you that said "March 2010" or something, I just put the 1st so I had an idea. Of course, if you don't want to be on this list for some reason, you can tell me that too! As you can see I like to put username and date, and also if your username isn't obvious - your real name as well (and your partner, if you'd like). So, please post here or send me a PM and I will update the list. That way we can easily track who is up next! P.S. HAPPY WEDDING DAY to Emily!!!!!!

welcome to the forum - your work is beautiful!

Perhaps I read into your posts. But as a member of the team that works really hard (for free, and on her own free time) to keep this forum running as best we can and to make it an enjoyable place for everyone, I don't enjoy having to justify and re-explain things to people who don't seem happy with how things work here.

I just merged a thread that asked the same question ... so, BUMP!

Do you mean the thread that is linked in my siggy? Pretty sure some of the links worked. Or if it was another one, please let the moderators know about it; if you've taken the time to read up on the forum, you may have come across this thread: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...n-links-50592/ You seem to have an awful lot of complaints about this FREE forum. You're welcome to leave anytime. Asking questions is fine, constant whining won't get you very far here.

what used to work for me was just turing everything off, then back on again. so turn your laptop/computer off turn your wireless router off wait 10-15 sec. turn the router back on - wait for it to get a signal, etc. then computer back on

I will add this to the first post so it doesn't get lost. The pics you posted are GORGEOUS, but also huge! Is there any way to resize them?

ooohhh - maybe i will use them for holiday cards!

I like the first one for the reasons you mentioned - it looks beachy! I also added a poll - hope you don't mind!

no problem

same place it's always been! here ya go ... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ost-here-1775/

i definitely suggest sticking with a TA that knows destination weddings - they're a different beast than just a regular ol' vacation.

i googled and got a bunch of results as well.

I'm just fine. I feel like that's kind of blah as well. Could be worse though!

yea, i hadn't noticed until someone else brought it up. we're all now forever stuck in a mood. sounds like an episode of the twilight zone.

did you read the thread i posted a link to? we talk about how it seems to be an issue with the recent upgrade.
