Midwest Brides Unite!

Our office was closed today, but pretty much everyone is salaried and working (except for my lazy-ass boss). I had a huge manuscript submission deadline, so I've been answering stupid repetitive emails all day. Ok, I might be in a bit of a bad mood LOL

 

we got 3.5 feet of snow from 2 PM yesterday to 10 this morning! FI tracked it with a yardstick and took pics every two hours. I grew up in DC and a storm like this would cripple them for weeks. I can't believe we'll be back at work tomorrow! :-(

I'm off today too, and I'm sorry but i am not salaried so I get the paid day off.

How much snow did you end up with?

[acireta]

i don't think it's lame at all we probably should have done that too.  It was not a fun morning having to shovel at that snow.  And now I am all congested and not feeling well

They actually closed the bank down yesterday!!  Was so happy!  I had to work a little bit from home since our boss told us on Monday that we could work from home Wednesday.  Once I got the word the bank wasn't opening at all (original annoucment said it would open at noon), I shut the computer down! LOL

oh my goodness I'm glad we didn't get that much snow here, your pictures cracked me up too! 3.5 feet is a crazy amount of snow, even for the midwest. I'm from Neenah, Wisconsin (about 1 1/2 hours north of Milwaukee) and my FI Trever and I are getting married January 2012 in Jamaica!!! We haven't picked the exact date yet but it'll be towards the end of the month. I'm currently having a hell of a time deciding between the Grand Palladium and Iberostar Rose Hall Suites for the wedding. It's sooooo hard to pick a resort, i don't want to make the wrong decision!!!

Lizk-there are truly no wrong choices, go with your heart or gut  Congratulations from one cold WI bride to another.  

 

You will have a blast planning and getting to know these ladies, they are amazing.

I'm getting married at the Grand Palladium in June!  Though you will most likely have your resort picked out by then, I will let you know how it goes!

I was kinda thinking the same thing too, that's why it's hard to choose because they are ALL so incredibly nice! I think we're going to have it at Iberostar! Now i just have to decide on a resort for the honeymoon ha! I am very glad i found the forum everyone has been very helpful and has some really awesome ideas!

Hey midwest brides! I'm candice and I live in Milwaukee, wi. My wedding will be on April 29th 2011 at the Riu Palace Riviera Maya in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. My Fi lives in Philly part-time (where I met him) but stays here with me a week or 2 at a time. People often ask me how I got someone to move to WI in the winter.... It's called love!!! Lol!!!
