Apparently, although I had no clue, owning Megan Kocher Wedding and Event Design was always in the cards for me. I was never one to drool over Tiffany, and I did not dream up the details of my big day until I was engaged. But growing up I did plan a wedding for some girl named Kristen. Too funny!
Today, the checklists I make for each wedding are about 13 pages instead of 13 points. Still, there is a lot to learn from the list of a little girl:
- Always double check that you have your wedding bands ready to go for the ceremony.
- Pamper yourself by letting someone else worry about your hair...
- ...and your nails.
- Buy yourself something new to wear on your honeymoon...
- ...and don't forget to pack well ahead of time. (P.S. Don't forget sunglasses! They are often left behind in all the wedding craze.)
- It's easy to skip lunch on the big day, but don't do it. You are going to need energy.
- Buy something special for each person in your wedding party. They've been such a support along the way.
- Pay all of your vendors.
- Sometimes we make notes in haste that we can't remember later. Oh well, it couldn't have been that important.
- Find moments to relax and unwind. You deserve it.
- If you are leaving for your honeymoon right after the reception, make sure your luggage is handy.
- Bring your dress home when the alterations are all done and it is cleaned and pressed. Who could forget this one? Most brides are dying to bring their dress home.
- When all is said and done... enjoy, celebrate, and eat cake!
