Dear bride, or should I say future Mrs?
Sigh! I understand your need for everything to be just perfect. Nothing should dare go wrong on that day, nothing has the exclusive permission to do so. I know that hence, I will be assisting you with tips you probably overlooked that would make your day anxiety free.
Every bride needs her emergency kit it is a necessary back up not an option. Yes your wedding planner of course is terrific, an absolute professional detailed to the core and does not leave anything to chance; your soul sisters inclusive. You can trust them to run your wedding while you chill. Good. Very good. However it is imperative you have a stash of extras. This is your emergency kit and you should not move an inch until you have checked and double checked that you are well fortified against any unforseen minor emergencies that could lead to full blown disasters.
Starters; l encourage every bride to have Paracetamol close by for any pesky migraine which could strike as a result of all the excitement. That or any other preferable substitute to avoid discomfort.
Mints: For fresh breaths all day long. This should be encouraged not just for the wedding day only. Every lady should have a pack of mints in her bag at all times; bad breath is less excusable as a woman.
Face wipes: To remove make up and apply fresh ones.
Flat shoes: Ballets flats as you please: You will not be able to wear your heels throughout inasmuch as you would want to showoff. So when the heels begin toasting those feet, slip into something more comfy and you would be thankful. Needless to say how useful it will be when rocking the dance floor.
Extra earring clips: The naughty thing about pin earrings is that the hooks can fly off unnoticed and your valuable piece of jewellery could fall off and get missing if you are not careful. However, there is comfort in knowing you have spare clips.
Hair pins: Grab enough pins especially in the colours brown or black it won't hurt anyone.
White chalk: This is for blotting makeup stains on your wedding dress such as lipstick smudges, brown powder or any other light makeup mishap.
A mobile sewing machine or needle and thread: This is for wedding dress disasters. A bridesmaid could innocently step on your wedding dress and rip the seams apart or it could get torn while your wedding planner tries to get it out of the grasp of the a cloth hanger. Anything can happen so get a mobile sewing kit with appropriate thread colours to avoid going bonkers if such a thing should befall.
Polish bottle: Toss this in among the other items in case of chipped nail paint so you can have a quick brush up.
Aha, lest I forget, bottled water; You don't want to be looking frizzled out now, do you? You should have water close by so you look hydrated and refreshed.
Safety pins: to join any loose ends of your bridal clothing.
Snacks, candy: Energy boosters for the fagged out bride.
Cash: Absolutely important you have money nearby or debit cards just in case. This particular item is not subject to review it is a must.
Counterfeit/spare wedding ring💍: I know, I know, this is just too hilarious. Still don't rule out the possibility anything can happen; you might have a careless bestman or groom, the rings could arrive late via airmail; flight could be delayed then what? I am not saying it will but what if? What if your village people or his village people choose that day to act up. To be on the safe side have a counterfeit ring!
On a last note, the bride should whip up her emergency collections, bundle them altogether in a tote bag and hand them over to someone she trust and would be close enough throughout that day; probably one of the ladies.
