She must not have ever figured out how to post them it seems. looks like she said this somewhat recently though ... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...1-3#post228270 - you could try that!

I've also decided that I have WAY too many points - and I am going to give some large amount to the winner to spend as they please! Now if that doesn't motivate you - I don't know what will! And I plan on doing this for the first season too .... you lucky ducks!

Yep - you send your weight and a picture of the scale to me every Wed. - I usually send reminder emails/PMs on Tue. night (if I remember!). You can send it to the same email address that you used to PayPal - or you can PM the photo/weight to me ... whatever is easiest!

just a reminder ... be sure to include your BDW user name along with your payment!

well, she said he was into pranks - so she knew he'd appreciate it! i'm so NOT into pranks, so i wouldn't! she did make an impression though, so her plan worked!

a bunch of us did this a while ago - i think the brand was Colonix or something .... let me see if I can find it ...

Welcome! My belly itches too - but nothing too terrible, and I've been using that Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion ... it seems to work for me. You're so close ... how exciting! Is this your first? Oh, and I think you should post the belly pictures!

I still say, if one of her main complaints is that you're posting reviews where she can't respond ... tell her to come on here and respond! As long as she does so in a respectful manner, we're more than happy to hear her side of the story!

I can turn almost all of those traits into something positive to have in your photographer ... Determined - who doesnt' want a determined photog?! Secretive - this is good when you're trying to be sneaky about your BD pics! Meticulous - again, good thing - your pictures show it! Investigative - always finding the best shot Curious - this can also lead to good shots Sarcastic - i love a good sarcastic personality! Vindictive and Bitter - these two i struggle with

Us? Heck no! We might get a little upset if you DON'T share the details!

Yep, it's $15 ... I even updated the rules!

I let her know as I made decisions, sometimes months before. But then I think we just went over it all right before the wedding - so it's not like you can't be planning if you want! Besides - you can hang out with us in the meantime!

I was looking for some cute maternity sundresses for my shower next weekend, and I came across a few maternity wedding dresses. They're out there!

Leigh, that cracked me up ... glad to see you made it, but you didn't mention if you actually had to eat your fellow passengers? Maybe I don't want to know. Glad to see you - I MISS YOU! Oh, and that photo is friggin' awesome! I love the atnique-y look (not sure how else to describe it)

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan I think she was refering to the other two forums the review is posted on. Vendors are not allowed on there at all. Right - but I was just clarifying her question here ... Quote: Originally Posted by SunBride She's very upset that she can't respond because of rules about vendor participation (not sure about this forum, but also posted the review on 2 canadian forums I used a lot and vendors are not allowed to post at all).

ok, i went back and read the whole thread - my curiosity got the best of me. i'm glad tammy brought up the Juan Carlos example - I was racking my brain trying to think of anywhere in teh rules we say a vendor CAN'T respond to a review - and I couldn't come up with one. That's because we don't have that rule! This forum tries really hard to be open and honest, which is one reason we allow vendors on here. We do ask that they follow certain rules (mainly no spamming or advertising!), but they're allowed to speak their mind and voice opinions. We value that as well. So, she is more than allowed, she's encouraged to come and post her response to your review, as long as she is respecful and follows the rules. Ironically, it's not the review that I see hurting her business, it's her reaction to the review.

I haven't read this whole thread, so I apologize if this is repeatative. How would she respond to the review if she could? Is she a member of this forum? She can send me a PM with her response if she wants, and I can discuss it with the other mods. But that is extremely unprofessional and can only "hurt her reputation" more by how she is reacting to an honest (and overall positive!) review. She should take your review and learn from it, and inprove in those areas - not freak out and refuse to talk to you anymore.

There is a ton of info. on her on this forum - try searching for her name and you'll come up with a bunch of stuff! She's also a member of this forum.

Honestly, I did most of my planning in the week or so before the wedding. But there wasn't too much to do really! If you're getting anxious or think there's stuff she needs to know, I'd send her a message - otherwise she'll let you know when she needs to know stuff! That's what I loved ... I'd just say, let me know when you need a decision! I'm so last minute though, but it worked for me!

is it just Venessa's your interested in? you could try searching to see all of the thread she's started. there are tons of reviews and pics of Caletas on here - to find those, I'd search for "Caletas" in the thread titles! let me know if you need help with searching.
