It’s the height of wedding season, and I’m noticing again all the little things that go into making a wedding day run smoothly (well… as smoothly as wedding days can anyway!) One thing that has always impressed me is what I affectionately call the “oh shit kit” — which one of my past couples called it and I simply can’t think of a better name lol! Someone calls out for scissors, boom. Someone needs nail clippers, got it. Suddenly we need to resew a button on someone’s attire, done. No matter what little things seem to pop up during getting ready, that wedding emergency kit comes in handy! Today I want to touch on the things I’ve seen come most in handy, as well as some well-known standards that should be included in that wedding emergency kit!
