Alright, let’s talk about what a gal needs on her weddin’ day, ya know, the things she gotta have, or she’s gonna be in a pickle. I ain’t talkin’ ’bout fancy stuff, just the plain ol’ things you need to get through the day without a hitch.
First off, you gotta keep them hands clean, real clean. You gonna be shakin’ hands, huggin’ folks, and who knows what else. So, get yourself some of that hand cleaner stuff, the kind that kills all them germs. You can find it anywhere, even on that Etsy thing the youngsters talk about. Yeah, hand sanitizer, that’s what it is called. Keep a little bottle in your purse, can’t hurt to have extra, ya know?
- Hand Sanitizer: Keep them germs away! Gotta shake hands and hug people all day long.
Next thing, and this is important, make sure that phone of yours is charged up. I know, I know, you young folks are always on them phones, but seriously, you gonna need it. Pictures, calls from your mama, maybe even to call for help if your dress rips or somethin’. Just charge it up the night before, and don’t be fiddlin’ with it too much before the weddin’ starts. You don’t want it dead when you need it most, trust me on this.
- Charged Phone: Need it for pictures, calls from your mama, and emergencies. Don’t forget the charger too, just in case.
Now, let’s talk about that little bag you gonna be carryin’, the purse, or whatever you call it. It ain’t gonna be big, so you gotta be smart about what you put in it. You ain’t carryin’ the kitchen sink, just the stuff you absolutely need.
First thing, makeup. You gotta have your lipstick, the color you gonna be wearin’, both the daytime one and the one for the evenin’. You don’t wanna look washed out in them pictures, do ya? And maybe some powder, to keep that shine off your face, especially if it’s hot. You know, that powder stuff, it helps keep your face looking… well, not sweaty.
- Lipstick (Day and Evening Shades): Gotta look good in them pictures, all day and all night.
- Powder: Keep that shine off your face, especially if it’s hotter than a furnace outside.
Then there’s them tissues. Oh honey, you gonna need tissues. You gonna be cryin’, happy tears mostly, but still cryin’. And your mama might cry, your grandma might cry, even that grumpy old uncle might shed a tear. So, have a bunch of tissues handy, for yourself and everyone else.
- Tissues: For happy tears, and maybe some sad ones too. You never know.
Now, for the boring stuff, but you still need it. Cash, a little bit of cash. You never know when you might need to tip someone, or buy a soda, or somethin’. And gum, gotta have gum. You don’t want bad breath when you’re sayin’ your “I do’s”, now do ya? And this is important, ladies, especially important: tampons or pads, whatever you use. Even if you don’t think you need ’em, bring ’em. Mother Nature has a way of showin’ up at the worst times, and you don’t want to be caught unprepared.
- Cash: For tips, sodas, or whatever comes up. Just a little bit, you don’t need to empty the bank.
- Gum: Fresh breath is important, especially on your wedding day.
- Tampons/Pads: Just in case. Better safe than sorry, that’s what I always say.
And here’s some other things you might not think about, but I’m tellin’ ya, you need ‘em. Safety pins, those little pokey things. You break a strap, rip your dress, a button pops off? Safety pins to the rescue! And bobby pins, lots of bobby pins. To keep that hair in place, even if you’re dancin’ up a storm. And hairspray, the strong kind, so that hair don’t move an inch. You don’t want your hair looking like a bird’s nest by the end of the night.
- Safety Pins: For fixing rips, broken straps, and runaway buttons. A lifesaver, I tell ya.
- Bobby Pins: To keep that hair in place, no matter how much you dance.
- Hairspray: The strong kind, to keep that hairdo lookin’ perfect all day and night.
Oh, and one last thing, comfy shoes. I know you wanna wear them fancy heels, but your feet are gonna be killin’ ya after a while. So, bring some comfy shoes, flats or somethin’, to change into when you can’t take it anymore. Your feet will thank you, believe me.
- Comfy Shoes: For when your feet can’t take them fancy heels anymore. Trust me on this one.
So, there you have it. The things a gal needs on her weddin’ day. It ain’t rocket science, just common sense. You be prepared, and you gonna have a wonderful day. Now go on, get hitched, and be happy!
Remember, it’s your big day, so enjoy it! Don’t let nothin’ ruin it for ya. You plan ahead, bring the right stuff, and you’ll be fine. And don’t forget to smile! A happy bride is a beautiful bride.
Now, you listen to your old auntie, and you do what I said. You’ll be glad you did.
