Other cool stuff we should know about: How about a few random pieces of advice?
- Don’t believe the haters. A cat does indeed make an Excellent Brideskitteh.
- Hire a band. Hire two bands—but skip the DJ and make your own playlists.
- Why stop at one officiant named Ian when you can have two?
- Wear bright red lipstick.
- Serve tequila at the bar. Even if it’s morning.
- As it turns out, when you get married people take your picture all day, even before you’re dressed and made up. Who knew? So when you wake up on your wedding day, find something to wear other than that grungy old cat T-shirt in a crumpled heap on the floor by the bed.
- MARRY FOR LOVE.
- Wisdom from Allison’s father during his amazing toast: “Do more than your fair share, and don’t keep score.”
