Help It's an Emergency

Of course you don't expect to have one in your wedding - that only happens to others. You may be right or lucky, but how much better to have a Plan B in place should Plan A not happen - due to no fault of yours. We know about most of the things that "shouldn't happen but sometime do" so we are ready with ideas to help you be prepared to meet any problem. Of course, if you have an experience wedding coordinator helping you with pre-ceremony preparations, none of these will be difficult. A good coordinator will also handle problems that arise without needing to bother you or your family. If you don't have a coordinator at your wedding, here are some hints that will help.

What can I do if I just can't stop crying?
Stop trying to stop yourself. If you try to suppress tears, you are likely to turn into a sobbing bride, not just one with tears in her eyes. Let yourself cry. Guest are more likely to see it as charming and there is a good change that some may feel like joining you. Remember that these are tears of joy and delight! Just focus on your groom and the officiant and that should help.

I have smiled so much today that my lipstick is coming off my teeth and even my top lip is stick to my teeth. No problem! Take a hint from pageant participants and dab a bit of Vaseline on your front teeth. Make sure it is just a little bit - don't over do it. 

I picked up my beautiful bridal bouquet, held it close to smell its fragrance and burst out sneezing. I love this bouquet but I don't want to sneeze my way down the aisle. Leave the bouquest at the reception where it will have a place of honor at the head table or on the cake table. You don't need to sneeze throught the ceremony. If you even suspect that you may be allergic to the flowers or greens, have some silk flowers or a family bible or prayer book as a backup. Also, ask your coordinator to make sure that she has allergy medicine in her emergency kit.
