I know, it is wonderful. Like I said, I am still in shock.

Welcome to the forum! You will have lots of fun!

I have a printer friend who I asked about wedding invites, thinking I would get 10% off or something. Well...he said that he will do them for me for FREE! Whatever I want! I can't believe it. I almost cried. At first I said no way, but he insisted...wow. I am still in shock. So happy!

It was really good too. Thank god it's almost fall and soup will be sounding tasty. Wow, ZERO points...that is great! I love soup, I will definitely check it out. On another note I had a tough time keeping my points this weekend. I work for a non-profit and our huge gala was this Friday and Saturday. Needless to say I ate without tracking. Ugh! Oh well, at least I started fresh today. Let's start this week off with a BANG!

As an event planner by trade remember to: Ask about hidden cost Ask to see various rooms if you plan on getting a room block Ask for testimonials that you could contact Get a detailed proposal from every site Don't feel bullied or shy to ask for what you want Ask about sound/lighting Don't be afraid to ask what they will throw in for free I hope this helps a little Yari

I am so excited to hear about your review from the Dallas Bridal Show. I am working with Nicole, but it sounds like Kelly is equally as wonderful. I feel so lucky to have found this fourm and LC. I can't wait...I hope this year flies by. I wonder if they will be coming to shows in Los Angeles??

Welcome!

Welcome! You will have lots of fun here.

Welcome!!!!

My FI daughter is 9 and she is a junior bridesmaid. I would love to have her incorporated into the ceremony by exchanging vows. I am still doing research on this and trying to find the perfect words.

I was just talking to my FI this morning about this very topic. We are going to get married at City Hall one day before we leave. To me it is just paperwork and our "real" wedding day will take place in Las Caletas. I am not going to tell anyone, except for my mom...since I already asked her for advice.

I showed them to her and she agreed that I had to have them. The best part is she agreed to pay for them. Love it!

I also explained that we were still going to stay there (some of my family already made reservations even though I had asked them to wait... grr... but they actually got a BETTER rate than our room block rate when combined with their plane tickets). I told her that we wouldn't be an "official" group, and that I hoped that we would have a good experience. So... Debi sent me a SUPER nice reply, and forwarded my email to some people higher up at 8:00 AM last Monday. By 11:30 AM, Norma Ramirez was calling me and asking how she could fix the situation. Now they're saying that we can have all the perks of the room block (upgrade, welcome drinks, etc.) without actually having the block. All we have to do is send her the names of all the people on our guest list. They also offered a big discount for a welcome party, but we're going somewhere else. I don't trust them. Anyway... I'll keep you all posted about how our stay goes in February but I can't recommend doing anything through their events department! Wow, what a mess! I was planning on getting a room block from there, but now I am rethinking it. I inquired about having my wedding there and no one ever got back to me. I did get a package emailed to me, but it was just okay. Let us know how it goes.

" Send her an email and make sure thats correct but it appears they can now do many things. I'm telling you girls )brides...Las Caletas is going to be a big deal w/ brides very soon in terms of matching up head to head w/ the hotels in PV. I'm glad we are coming in on the beginning of the progress. This is such great news! I love that we have more options.

Welcome, this forum is awesome!

These are awesome! I love the fun color combinations. The bags are also very cute...what a great idea.

Yes, please post it. Trashing the Dress sounds like fun! I think my mom will freak though.

I am very sorry to hear this... On a lighter note, a good friend of mine was told the same thing and now has two beautiful boys. Don't always believe the doctors, there is a greater power out that has a plan for you. You are in my thoughts. Yari

I love your starfish hair pin...so pretty! Where did you find it?

I keep a bottle at my desk that I drink from all day but it seems like I can never drink more than approx. 32 oz. During the evenings I will only drink 8-16 oz. I have the WW jug and it really helps me get my water in. I think it's importatnt to use a straw, helps you drink more faster. You can also add those zero point drink mixes to the water for some flavor.

Hi there! This site is awesome, have fun!

Very cute idea...
