Do You Ever Feel Like You Have Missed Something Important?

During my first pregnancy and prior to having a cell phone, I forgot all the food, tools etc I needed for a food styling job one hour away from home. My husband noticed and chased after me. He had to follow me all the way to the job site. We got cell phones that week.

I read your FB posts, so make sure Abbie doesn't forget Abbie!


for the rest, it is a little hard to figure out if you forgot something without knowing what you did or was supposes to do. I am certain you made a list. Try to break down all the items on that list into smaller bite size pieces and go over them one by one. (but you probably did that already too)


Ohh, and check your list with birthdays (don’t ask how I know)

As long as the Bride and Groom show up - everything else is secondary - all the little things work themselves out.


Congratulations and have a great day!!

Congratulations to you!

Here in the US we need to get a LICENSE, but thankfully they can be expedited for an extra fee (of course). Don't ask how I know!

Also, when my daughter was married she forgot to allow for enough TIME to get into her dress and have her friend fix her hair. She also forgot to bring an extra pair of shoes for after photos and later in the evening when she needed something comfortable.

Best wishes!

Shoes!!!!!!! Comfy shoes!!! I didn't even think of comfy shoes... *Hugs Patti

I will, Rudy, thank you :-)

Oh my gosh, Iris!!! It's a good job he noticed!

Thank you, David... Yes, i suppose that's true, lol

I have no answer to your first question, but if you have missed something, its probably less important than the things you have remembered!

For your second question, I once arrived at an airport for an international flight and after getting close to the desk where I had to get my passport out, suddenly realised I had left my passport at home (a 90 minute one way drive away). I have never made that mistake again!

In the big picture anything you might have forgotten doesn't matter as long as you both show up.

I almost forgot - I have forgotten stuff but nothing that ever really mattered. A good nights sleep is probably more important than any thing. Congratulations Abbie, I am sure you will have a wonderful wedding!

We got married at the courthouse and then had a potluck. Had a second ceremony for family a month or so later (but also on the cheap).

First off, I did not know! How exciting and congratulations!

When I was a brand new mom, just days after bringing our first into the world, she had a well baby check up at the pediatricians. My first time out with her. Got baby? Ck? Got a blanket? Ck Strap her in her car seat? Ck

At the Dr. office, I stripped her down as requested, she was pitching a fit. Exam was over, all went well except I had forgotten the diaper bag. No diapers to put back on her. Long before disposables, she made the journey home going commando. New mommy nightmare.

Congratulations Abbie!

I always feel like I've forgotten something whenever I have to travel but usually it turns out just to be my general anxiety kicking in. Wishing you smooth sailing through your wedding.

I broke my foot shortly before I got married and got the metatarsal shoe off two days before the wedding. I could barely cram my foot in those wedding shoes, and the old comfy ones after the ceremony were a lifesaver for me. Patti's suggestion is a great one!

I'm racking my brain and can't think of anything I've forgotten. That doesn't mean I'm perfect. Most likely, it was so traumatic I blanked it out. LOL

Here's a family story about forgetting important things and weddings too. I was only two at the time, so I don't remember any of this, but the story is told quite often in my family.

When one of my aunts married in the late-1960s, my entire family left for the church and forgot to take my great-grandma with them! Luckily she lived just a few blocks from the church, and she was able to walk there.

My aunt was standing outside the church with my dad, who walked her down the aisle and took the wedding photos. The wedding march was playing, and she happened to look over her shoulder because she heard someone yelling STOP in Italian. Great-grandma didn't speak English. There was my great-grandma crossing the street with her purse on her arm. They waited for grandma to get there before entering the church. The wedding march repeated three times while they waited, and everyone thought my aunt had changed her mind about marrying my uncle.


Congratulations! Have a wonderful wedding day! You will be the only one that knows if you forgot something, so don't worry about it.

I guess you forgot my invitation... And air fair

But really, the white doves and flamingoes in tuxedo's.
A bowl of rose petals to be tossed about

a photographer with instructions given to who you want photos of, groups etc. Leaving no one out. Because you will be attacked over that. If there are any touching speeches, that should be told to them as well. So they have the camera ready.

We haven't got a photographer. Way too much money. My future brother in law is going to use my phone (it's the best out of all the phones)

You can do this if you have a gopro - they make mounts for dogs. And they often film weird views of events like these.

that should be pretty cheap if you have one already.


----Mike Savad

I love the dog's POV! Mike, that's awesome!

I almost missed a plane to Africa.....twice!

Running shoes...get to getting girl ! The back door. Shirley I Jest.... Cheers

The most important thing is to be over the top happy! Congrats to you two!

We kept our wedding simple too, on purpose, and did everything ourselves. I made my bouquet. My husband and I decorated the little church the morning before, just the two of us. My husband’s sister took the photos. Made everything so much more meaningful.

I didn’t forget anything, but I do wish I had done a dress rehearsal prior to the wedding. And by dress rehearsal I mean that literally. My dress was a simple white satin gown with spaghetti straps. I already had a strapless bra for it, but since it was a white dress I really needed a slip, only I didn’t own a strapless slip. Went shopping and found what I thought was a great strapless slip. It was sort of clingy, so it would not look wrinkly under my white satin gown. I set it in the closet for the big day. At church I got all dressed and it was then, with only half an hour before the ceremony, that I discovered to my dismay that the new strapless slip was true to its name! After wearing it for a couple minutes it started to SLIP, as in DOWN! Omg. I kept having to reach inside from the top and hoist the darn thing back up!!! What I hadn’t reckoned on was that both my gown and bra were satin, and so they were slippery, hence the reason the new slip kept wanting to slip down, lol.

Had I tried everything on together beforehand I would have discovered this and simply used a couple of small safety pins to hold the slip up. But I could find no safety pins at church, so all I could do was pull that slip WAY up and hope for the best while I stood up on the altar saying my wedding vows.

We laugh about this now.

So I recommend you try everything on prior to the big day.
:)

Congratulations! Best wishes, Abbie!

I married a zillion years ago & have forgotten much of that day! So anything you might forget ahead of the event really isn't important.

Just bride/groom (are you doing your own vows?) & closest family/friends if you want.

If you're superstitious, then you can do the "Something old, something new, something borrowed something blue, and a sixpence in her shoe."

Enjoy the special day :)

Congratulations Abbie, I'm so happy for you both!

It's normal to wish not to forget anything but I agree that it will not really matter.

But in case, just to feel more relaxed, one morning imagine yourself doing all the things for that day, maybe you will remember something useful.

Best wishes!!!

We had a wedding in my home church out of state where we were living. His family all came down and stayed the night on a cruise ship as they rented rooms there while docked. My husband to be with them.

They had a hard time finding the church in our city and it was getting late. My sister in law to be was to be my maid of honor, my sister matron of honor. They got their gowns mixed up. Finally my Mom fixed them to fit each one. My brother was best man, and his brother groomsman.

When I walked down the aisle I could tell my husband, to me, looked really nervous. When it came time to speak our vows, which we were to memorize, my husband went blank. Instead of saying "in plenty and want" he stopped and said, in plenty and what??. Everyone laughed.

We were to light two unity candles. He lit his and then I lit mine only my veil swayed and caught the flame setting it on fire. The priest got it out but people were scared, especially my family, then started laughing and so were we. It was a big joke at the reception about my going up in flames.

My point, even the best laid out plans can go awry, and yet we both can laugh now and had more fun at the reception. Things happen, and enjoy every moment of it. Just breath, plan out what you can and then have faith and go with it!! Most of all, enjoy every little moment, even preparations!!

Blessings to you both and so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget to post the zoom invite in the forum.

Congratulations!

On the day of my marriage in the morning I realised I never tie a tie beffore (or latter) so it was a strugle to find someone who is skiled with that ..

You forget to invite all artists from faa, and be sure you can dress yourself in the morning all by your self ...

Congratulations! And....yes, you are always missing something and always will be; it's the nature of life and history and the time-space continuum. Sometimes we miss something great and sometimes we're somewhere else when a building collapses or the gas station blows up. Much of it is just dumb luck.

Congratulations! Much happiness and love!

Thank you SO much everyone. It was the best day ever. Went beautifully and nothing was forgotten.

My Facebook blew up with comments and i had so many Amazon gift vouchers wedding presents from people here that we've bought the garden furniture we so wanted. We can now sit outside in the summer months when it arrives, relaxing and just being an old married couple. THANK YOU

I'll be off for a week now. Please look after your forum moderator, David Dehner, for me. He can look after any issues you have. Also listen to Gill Billington who has full carte blanche also. If she says to stop something, please do so lol

Yay!!! I'm now Mrs Muirhead hehe

Congrats Mrs. Muirhead. I'm so happy for you! :-)

Congratulations and best wishes for you both!

Congratulations Mrs and Mr Muirhead!!

Congratulations, Abbie and Mr Abbie - you were a beautiful bride! Many happy years of bliss!

Congratulations and best wishes to you both, Abbie!

Congratulations, Abbie!

By the way, when you come back and read this, I'm pretty sure your photographs will be nicer than mine. I look at my wedding photos from 1973 and I realize how absolutely lousy my wedding photographer was. They are literally horrible except one or two of them.

So happy you had a really good day.

Congratulations Abbie and Robin! And Happy Birthday yesterday! Hope you have a most beautiful honeymoon! :-)

Congratulations, to the happy couple!

~ May all your dreams come true.

Such a happy and super beautiful couple!

Wow! Lovely profile pic! Glad your day was so special. Enjoy your week off! I’m sure everyone here will help keep this space in order. Ha ha!

Congratulations - so happy for you.
