CONGRATULATIONS! You’re ENGAGED! That is SO exciting! During my planning for my own wedding, I came across many articles that I feel were very helpful. Since I work with a lot of brides and grooms, I decided to collaborate what I had found and pass on the information to you.
On the day of the wedding, you do not want to have to worry about any of the details except for saying the words, “I Do.” Ideally, you want to have everything in place before wedding day; that way, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the celebration. I have put together a generic Emergency kit for you to put together the week of the wedding. Feel free to add or remove any of the items on the list.
