JENESIS

Hi. I had no luck getting the woman on the phone. I actually had to take the day off today in order to go down and get this settled.

 

Thank you for your information so far. I will let you know if I can get any answers.

 

I sent the two page, detailed account to the head of Chicago schools, the teacher's union and the Chicago Tribune. So far no replies. Not surprised.

THank you

Breathing.

Good afternoon ladies.

 

I am out of my mind aggravated and don't know who to turn to for help. I've always found answers here.

 

To make a long story short my employer refuses to insure my husband b/c the MCert is in Spanish. Both of use had open enrollment at the same time. He waived and I added him. He should have been covered as of 1/1/08. After 4 trips to HR to find out why the insurance provider has never heard of him, I finally receive this answer. I am mad for many reasons. One being that after over a month the didn't find it necessary yo contact me and tell me they required this. Another being that the US goverment accepted the MCert no problem to change my name and for a new SS card. The state of IL even accepted it when I renewed my license with my new name.

 

I'm pregnant and emotional as well.

 

Ooh! Can you believe that when I asked to speak to the woman who was making the decision not to accpet the Mexican version, I was told that she would not see me because she was off the clock. This was at 3:20 pm today. The coward refused to come out of her office to speak to me. ALl I wanted to know was where she suggested I go to get it translated and also why I was never told about this problem when I came in the 3 times before today or by mail. I was sent away in tears (pregnant).

 

Anyway, my qestion is where to get his translated and notarized. I've never had to do anything like this and I have no where to turn. My husband is uninsured and the HR department had the nerve to put the deadline of 01/15/08 on me to return the translated version.

 

Can anyone help?

Transcabo picked up 35 people from 6 different locations and had everyone at the Hilton on time. THey were great.

In my opinion open bar is totally worth it. We had open bar the first 4 hours and then we were talked into changing the last 2.5 hours to consumption. We were somehow convinced that people would slow down after 10 and it wold be cheaper.

 

It was more expensive than if we would have just paid for the open bar from 6:30 to 1am.

 

I think it all depends on your guests. We had a handful that weren't drinking alcohol, but it still added up. It might have been things such as bottled water, I don't know.

Do you have allergies or do you smoke?

I didn't do a cake. I had mini tres leches, opera and churros. Very good, but I just never actually saw a full cake.

I stayed there for week for my Honeymoon. The balconies are connected. Every balcony serves two rooms.

HA!!! I heard the same exact thing. I was so shocked. We got many other rude comments, including "I'll look forward to party you throw when you get back". THis "party" was conveniently located in my yard. Now it didn't happen, nor will it ever, but I was so furius that people had the f**king nerve to go as far as to invite themselves to my house when I had said a dozen times that my wedding would be in MExico. PERIOD! THis comment was on an RSVP too.

The people who did come to our wedding REALLY wanted to be there and it made the day extraordinary. We don't regret a second of it.

Even now that we are back people insist on being extremely inconsiderate.

A few times already we have experienced a family member nonchalantly saying something dispassionate like, "Oh, aren't you guys married now?" This would be after an hour or so in their company. Idiots.

The, "When is the party?" still hasn't stopped.

What pisses me off the most is the obvious fact that these people think that what happened in Mexico wasn't real and that now that we are back we owe them a "real" wedding.

I would say no. I started at a new school right after getting engaged, and had been at the school 2 years when I go married. Now, when I sent the STDs out I hadn't been there a year.

 

I didn't invite anyone and doubt very much that they expected to be.

 

I figure the planning began before the relationship with my new co-workers did.

JT was at my wedding. Everyone got up on hte dancefloor

THe card in the orange envelope (underneath) is the rsvp.

 

 

Wording:

Great idea. I wish I would have thought of that.

$174.00 Yikes!

It took me at least 6 months just to get the location. Could have been longer. I absolutely hated it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a $500.00 fee for every location that we used. We used 3.

 

The guests that did stay at the Hilton got cheaper rates than Emeline first offered. Most of them did anyway.

 

In the end I did not have the 30 nights required for the room block anyway. 30 of my guests stayed elsewhere.

OH yes, yes. We did have that. THat is the very reason we didn't do a room block. I didn't want to be held to people's decision to stay somewhere else.

Thank you.

 

I didn't pay extra for the ties. Emeline told me what colors the HIlton had and I chose what I wanted.

 

I ordered the flowers in loose bundles from Flower Cart. I also rented the low vases from them. They were delivered about 30 minutes before the ceremony. 4 of us just chopped all the stems off (most of the stem anyway) and arranged them in the vases. It turned out exactly like I pictured: simple.

What exactly are "Performance Damages". This might have been in my contract, but it wasn't something that stood out.

My pictures aren't showing for some reason.
