Welcome! i was married in PV, but at Las Caletas ... a private beach wedding is what we wanted! we stayed at Dreams though. happy planning!

hey ladies - just to let you know, i am heading out of town for a long weekend, and i leave Wed. evening. so i won't be able to post the weekly results until early next week - is that an issue for anyone? do i need to find a replacement?

sounds like most people want the overall results only at the end. but remember, a person can win a weekly weigh in, but still be at the bottom of the overall list! **WEEKLY RESULTS** Congratulations to ....

this is for all of the Cubs fans out there (and my hubby)! *please excuse the drool/spitup!

Oh, and to this update I should add that as of her last doctor's appointment (July 30), Gwen weight 9lbs, 10.5oz!!!! YOWSERS!

I have a question for everyone. Someone requested that I post more updates ... would you want me to post the To Date standings? I know I post weekly winners, but that's just a change from week to week. Would you want me to post the results so far? I'm fine with posting whatever you want me to ... I just want to make sure everyone agrees! I vaguely remember last season (or the first one) some people not wanting to see the overall results before the end of the competition. You all discuss amongst yourselves and just let me know!

good luck tomorrow everyone!

We did our budget last night to see what we can afford to offer on a house. Looks like we won't have money for food, so maybe things will start looking better on the scale! Hey, Erin! Did you ever send me your weight from last week? I don't have anything recorded for you.

WTF! I know! I hate that I haven't got them done yet. I was so hoping Leigh could have done them while we were in CA, but it just didn't work out. We would have had the best baby pics ever, AND done by the same photog that did our wedding. I do want her to take pics someday ... it WILL happen! But, I did schedule a photoshoot for a couple weeks from now ... finally!

Yep, she's a Cali. girl, for sure! I joke sometimes when I put an outfit on her, that it looks good with her "tan." Not sure where she got the skin coloring from ... it wasn't us! lol Here are a few recent pictures ...

I know I said it here and there, in PMs and posts, email, and on the phone to some of you. But I wanted to make sure to post an official THANK YOU to everyone on this forum that supported me, Paul, and Gwen during our little journey out in CA, and back to MN. It started from the time I went into the hospital in pre-term labor, and kept on coming until we were safely back in MN. And it's still there! Honestly, I don't think I would have made it were it not for the support from this forum. I was truely amazed, blessed, surprised, and humbled by everyone on here. Whether it was an email, phone call, a post on here, money, a gift, an offer to help .... everything made what was one of the hardest times of our lives so much more bearable. You will never know how much your support and generosity meant to Paul and I. And one day, I will be able to tell Gwen about her BDW family that went through this whole thing with us! I honestly cannot express how much it all meant to me and Paul; you all made a huge different in our lives. I wish I could send all of you a personal thank you note, but Gwen would be in college by the time I got them all done, and then we'd have no money to pay for her college since I'd have gone broke buying all of the postage! So, big hugs to all of you out there ... you really are an amazing bunch of women; and Jason, you rock too! lol For those of you that missed the whole ordeal, or just want a trip down memory lane, here are the threads. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21239 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21494 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21453 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t22763

Speaking of lists ... YARI, YOU'RE NEXT!! or at least accoring to my list, which might be wrong at this point. I can't believe we have to wait until October until the next wedding! Let me know if anything on here is incorrect, or missing!

i like 1/2 up! but i wanted mine that way too, but ended up going all up because i was afraid i'd be too hot.

you definitely win the award for the most organized bride ever! everything looks great, and i can't believe your day is almost here!

Quote: Originally Posted by tvt yeah i'm a little curious how many at each table i can do. so far, i have 4 large tables and 1 smaller table... not sure they can do that. I have my seating chart posted on here somewhere - I think I had a table of 8 or 10. Quote: Originally Posted by Mayenne Hi...I'm an LC bride getting married on November 10th, 2008. Greetings! I'm hoping that you gals can help me out I've picked the songs I'd like to walk down the aisle to but I just need to know how long the walk is? I've picked Led Zepplin's Bron Yr Aur (2 min) and Lenny Kravitz Butterfly (2 min). Is that too short? I'm still reading through all the posts and I have a ton of questions so don't mind me if I send personal messages..don't want to blog up this forum. Thanks a bunch! I know that question had been asked and answered on here somewhere, but I don't know the answer ... I didn't pay that much attention! Let us know if you can't find it!

I'm so jealous ... Paul and I really wnat to take a trip soon ... and we've never been to Cabo!

CONGRATULATION!! What a great prize!
