    Okay, so I'm leaving at 4 am Monday morning for Colorado, where Mr. Panda and I will be getting married just a short five days later!!! However, there is no going back to PA for anything I forget, so I'm putting up a list and let me know if any of you ladies see anything I could be forgetting. Thanks!

    1.) Wedding Dress/Slip/Bra/Shoes/Garter/Tiara (just remembered that as I was typing!)/sister is bringing veil.

    2.) Rings, Mine and his. Also, wedding-day jewelry.

    3.) Gifts for parents.

    4.) Program printouts (will finish upon arrival), menus and name cards. BM is bringing seating guide (lets hope!).

    5.) Digital Camera for Roadtrip Minimoon & casual clothes/sunglasses/book for plane/meds, etc.

    That's all the important wedding stuff I can think of! Do I need anything else to get married? Ahhh!

    have you got a wedding day first aid kit?   bandaids (if wearing new shoes), asprin, needle and thread and stuff like that for just in case

    edit: oh, do you have a corset dress? check to make sure the white corset rope/ribbon thingy is in the dress bag - i was BM about 18months ago and it wasnt until the bride was getting dress did we notice this was missing

    Do you have a general wedding day of emergency kit?

    Pen and Paper-just in case you need to write something down and work on something later that day/night (I always carry a note pad with me)

    haha eloping, after your comment a tore apart my whole wedding dress, which took me FOREVER to pack up in trashbags and a garment bag, just to make sure that stinkin string was in there! So far so good. I'm in CO though now, so anything that's forgotten is forgotten!

    EngagedtoPanda.. i kid you not, she was in her dress and someone said "where is the ribbon"

    the bride walked down the aisle with a sports shoe lace as her corset ribbon!!!!!!  and no one noticed but it was pretty ******* stressful for about 20mins

    sorry to have stressed you out about it but now that you have checked its all good

    Don't know where you are going for your HM, but do you need your passports?

    Do you have nail polish that you picked out?

    Hope you have a smooth trip out there and a fabulous wedding day!

    EtP, did you write the speech yourself? Or do we need to start a massive web search of appropriate content for you? :)

    hehe, I wrote it myself! It's okay though, I had the woman who was going to stop by to watch the cats email it to me from my home computer. Crisis Averted!

    Do you need your marriage license (if you already have it)?  We forgot ours and there was a bit of chaotic panic for about an hour.

    Kendrick - I was going to suggest the same thing. I put mine in a big ass envelope so I would know where it was at all times!

    This may be too late, but a list of all of your vendors with contact info just in case you need to get in touch with them. I know I plan on printing out lists and lists and more lists before I go but I'm a list girl : )
