You've been planning your wedding for months or even years. You have gone over every detail with excruciating precision-there are calendars, lists, and timelines coming out of your ears. You are dressed in your gorgeous white gown and step out of the limo, ready to make your grand entrance.
Riiiiiiiip! One of your lovely bridesmaids has her heel caught in your train, which is now short some lace trimming. Before you start to cry, reach for the emergency kit that you brought along for just this reason. See, you really CAN be prepared for anything!
1. Needles, small scissors, and thread to match groomsmen, bride, groom, and bridesmaids attire. For any tears, pulls, or even last-minute tailoring. You really just never know.
2. Mole-skin and/or band aids. For blisters from painful shoes, paper cuts from handing out programs, or even a hangnail gone awry. Bring lots of them.
3. Stain remover, e.g. Tide to Go. Be prepared for dirt, wine, even baby spit-up if there's a little tyke around.
4. Clean cloths to wipe said stains.
5. Static cling spray. You really don't need the bridesmaids' dresses clinging to the backs of their legs, do you?
6. Tissues. Someone is going to cry. It might be you.
7. Q-tips. After you cry, you want some precision touch-up work that only a good cotton swab can provide.
8. Lipstick, foundation, powder, mascara, et cetera. A redo might be needed if you really bawl your eyes out.
9. Straws. If you've paid someone to do your makeup, you don't want to smudge it all around on a glass. Straws protect the lipstick, and make it nearly impossible to dribble that mimosa on your bridal whites.
10. Brush/comb. If it's windy, this is a necessity.
11. Painkillers. You don't want to be explaining to your new hubby that you have a headache on your wedding night.
12. Travel toothbrush and dental floss. These photos will last a lifetime, the lettuce in your teeth doesn't have to.
13. Clear nail polish. A run in your stockings doesn't need to be cause for crisis with this classic remedy. But bring an extra pair of 'hose just in case.
14. Nail polish. Don't fret over a chip in your manicure. Just touch it up and move on. Make sure it's the same shade, though!
15. Emory board. A snag in your nails could cause snags in your nylons, dress, flower girl's hair, et cetera, all day long. Get rid of it, pronto.
16. Perfume or body spray. After dancing all night, you might need to freshen up. Bring some clear deodorant, too, while you're at it!
17. Hair spray. Again, just in case. Shellack that 'do!
18. Bobby pins. Hair ties. Anything you use to decorate your hair-bring extras!
19. Antacids. Nerves do funny things to tummies. Antacids can help get you down the aisle in one piece. For that matter, if you get upset stomachs, bring some Imodium, too. The last thing you want is to feel the need to make a run for the toilet during your heartfelt vows.
20. Your vows,written down. You might think you'll be fine repeating after the officiant, but it will calm you down to be able to read them before the big walk down the aisle. Kind of like flash cards for a test.
And there you have it. An emergency kit to get you through just about anything that might go wrong on your wedding day. Unless crazy Uncle Jimmy gets tipsy and decides to make a long, slurring speech about how he thought you'd never get hitched. Ain't nothing going to save the day then.
