Information about the night before the wedding...

So, for the night before the wedding, everyone will have to be together. We have several tasks to get done in the morning of the wedding and they need to be done, and we need to be back, at my house, no later than 11:45 AM. This means we have to get 5 girls completely ready for a wedding in a very short amount of time in the morning. Which means everyone is staying at my house (or some other as of yet undisclosed location) the night before so that we can all get up early in the morning together and GET STUFF DONE. Cause that is how we roll. If you suggest that we have plenty of time, you will get this response:

Why 11:45AM you might ask? This is because the photographer will be at my house at noon wanting to take the pre wedding shots of the bride (me), the bridesmaids (you) and my parents (them?) in various different poses. This process takes at least 1 hour and then he goes to the church to meet the groom and his groomsmen to take some picture of them (the groomsmen and Alan in this case, not my parents, the aforementioned them) before the ceremony starts.

Also, the night before the wedding is traditionally the rehearsal and directly following the rehearsal dinner. Plan on being free that entire night, and the entire day IF POSSIBLE. I realize that some people are not taking off the entire week prior to the wedding as I am, and actually have to work. I get it. For those without the pesky job responsibilities, however, it would be awesome if we could all meet that day at say 10 am? There will be lots of floral stuff to deal with at the very least. REMEMBER to all bring everything you will need to spend the night AND everything that you will need for the wedding. The rest of you who have responsibilities, just get there ASAP. As soon as I know more about the rehearsal dinner, I will talk dress code. 

Following on from there, in case Woman has something else up her sleeve which I don't know about, that may be the bachelorette party which will consist of the making of bouquets, centerpieces, and anything else that needs to be finished before the wedding. 

So, to sum up:

Be at my house, with your dress as early as possible the day before the wedding. 

Be prepared for stress.

Come with everything you will possibly need because once you are in my clutches I will not let you go until following the ceremony. 

Smile pretty for the camera.

This is the final thought that I leave you with. 

You know it.
