He’s calm, because he’s forgetting half his list. Let’s make sure he doesn’t show up without pants literally.

It’s the small forgotten things that create chaos you didn’t see coming. I’ve seen it again and again, brides scrambling at the last minute because the groom forgot one of these…

💡 5 Things Most Grooms Forget on the Wedding Day:

1. His speech (or vows). Whether he’s speaking at the reception or during the ceremony, triple confirm it’s written, printed, and not just “in his head.”

2.The timeline. Most grooms forget what happens when which can derail the entire flow. Print and hand him a cheat sheet.

3.The marriage license. Yes, this actually happens. Don’t assume someone else grabbed it assign it before the day.

4Getting ready snacks. Groomsmen often go from mimosas to empty stomachs and end up lightheaded by the ceremony. Plan protein-rich grab-and-go snacks.

Over 500 brides used this checklist to get organized, avoid mistakes, and plan with calm clarity. Comment ‘CHECKLIST’ and I’ll DM it to you for free 💌

You don’t have time to micromanage both sides of the wedding. That’s why I created the planning system I wish I had the moment I got engaged, one that handles both the bride’s and groom’s tasks so you’re not up at 2am wondering what you missed.

Wedding photos are forever, but planning mistakes?
They can leave you with blurry memories, missed moments, and regrets you can’t fix later. You spend thousands on photography, but even the best photographer can’t undo these mistakes.

 These are the most common photo regrets brides share after their wedding… and how you can avoid every single one:

💡 MISTAKES THAT RUIN WEDDING PHOTOS:

1.Not creating a photo shot list with your photographer. They can’t read your mind, and the shot you assume they’ll get? It’ll be the one they miss.

2.Skipping the first look to “save time.” It usually does the opposite. You’ll be rushed and sweaty, and miss out on calm, candid portraits.

3.Not padding your timeline. If you’re late by even 15 minutes, your golden hour shots? Gone.

4.Letting guests take photos during your ceremony. Phones in the aisle = ruined shots. Ask your officiant to kindly request an unplugged ceremony.

5.Forgetting to touch up makeup/hair before photos. Your glam team leaves before your first kiss photo, so pack blotting sheets, gloss, and a touch-up kit.

I’ve created a complete decision making system to help you avoid the mistakes most brides don’t see coming until it’s too late.

Comment “CHECKLIST” and I’ll DM you the free 40+ hour-saving guide my brides use to plan their dream wedding. 

That’s why I created a full planning system that walks you through each step from must-have shots to timeline buffers, so you don’t just get the wedding you want, you get the photos to remember it forever.

You shouldn’t have to spend thousands and still walk away with regrets. That’s where my checklist changes everything.
