I just randomly popped in here and saw this thread (I don't often make it to this section!). So glad I did! And I'm so excited that your Caletas wedding was just as amazing as I (and you!) hoped it would be. Those quotes could have been taken from our guests as well - everyone loved it, and now one of Paul's friends is having a DW as well!

I love to see before and after pictures, it really motivates me to see how much work you guys can do in 8 weeks. I'm dying to get in on BL5, that is why I wanted to see how far along you guys are! hehehe we have 3 weigh-ins left, this "season" ends on 11/19 - right before thanksgiving!

I just came over here to post this exact thread ... and lookie here, it's already done! Congrats on your big day, Tara. I am extra excited to hear about how it all went, I feel like I've watched (and hopefully helped! lol) you plan from the start. Congrats, sweetie!

I must admit I'm pretty surprised at some of it, having been married there myself and not had some of the issues you did. Nicole shouted at your parents about the cake, really? That so doesn't seem like her, not that I don't believe you, but wow! She was sweet as pie to us and our guests, especially my parents who raved about her. She packed up the cake for us...we weren't thinking towards the end and would have left it if not for her. I'm sorry your stuff didn't get passed out, I didn't have that issue, but I know how much work you put into your stuff. Overall I'm glad you are seeing above the trivial stuff and are just happy to have married Brian in a beautiful place. Your pics are awesome!! I totally agree - you SHOULD post an honest review. If you didn't, this forum wouldn't be as helpful as it is. But like Jamy, I am shocked at some of it, and so sorry it happened! Like I can't even picture Nicole or Kelley yelling at anyone, especially the brides parents! And we never even asked for our cake, but it was packaged nicely for us - and is actually still sitting in my freezer downstairs ... in tact! lol I can't help but think Nicole just had a really rough day. Not that it's an excuse, but it just seems so out of character for her. Or any of the Caletas staff really. Our stuff was not only placed where we wanted it, but she did stuff we didn't even ask for - like decorate the table w/our placecards and photo mat, etc. I'm so sorry it wasn't everything you dreamed. But it sounds like you have a great attitude about it all. So, the massages ... what was the confusion that had you get out of the shower to pay? Like you had agreed to pay them later and then they wanted it NOW or something? That seems odd. Now I'm off to go check out pictures!

How is it at all a bad thing when someone says that this situation is horrible? And what is she "judging" anyway?

where is everyone!? i barely have any weigh-ins yet today! Quote: Originally Posted by mummergirl hey maybe any week in which we gain weight we should have to throw in another dollar, LOL. (i'm mostly kidding, ann doesn't need any more work!) hey, if you guys want to do this, i'm game! you all have to come up with the consequences, etc. if someone doesn't follow the rules though - I don't want to be the bad guy! but i have no problem administering the $$!

wow - STUNNING! honestly, you look so pretty, so classy. your wedding day is on my mom's birthday! and it's almost here ... !!

Ok, this event started tonight - and WOW, there is a lot of amazing stuff there. I had to hold back and only bought what I could fit in my luggage. I bought this really cute blanket, in addition to a few outfits. They not only have consignment stuff there, but many vendors too. Like my mom, and this woman I bought the handmade blanket from. I'll have to take pictures for you - it's so cute! I bought one for my best friend who just had a baby on Tue. So if anyone goes - look for me at my mom's booth!

welcome to the forum! Caletas is a GREAT choice!!

Welcome to the forum!
