Emergency Kit
Oops, nobody thought of that. Uh oh, we have to wait. Oh no, not on my wedding day!
Life is interesting. Surprises happen. Thinking ahead will avoid many mishaps.
You can find wedding day emergency kit suggestions in most bridal magazines. I like the list from Cathy Gordon, L.C.S.W. “Life Cycle Officiant” from Southern California.
