    This is a wonderful suggestion and I’m sure many brides who didn’t have one, wished they did. Good job!

    This is quite a comprehensive list and I enjoyed reading the article. It doesn’t take long at all to get a kit like this together and it could avoid so many headaches.

    There’s plenty to worry about with a wedding without needing to add emergency worries that could be avoided.

    a useful list.. i can see having some of those things on hand on a wedding day would be a good idea.

    Had to laugh at the idea of smelling salts…. for the swooning bride i presume :)
