    My something borrowed.

    On morning of wedding I had to give my daughter a safety pin that she lent back to me.

    Other than that, no. I am supremely organised (ahem)

    Nope. At least, not that I have since recalled.

    On the night, i would have forgotten to do a first dance and cut the cake if H hadn't organised me!

    I forgot to throw my bouquet.

    Nothing in the run up I don't think.

    We forgot to cut the cake though? Had to do it at 11pm and have a mate take a few pics!

    If your dress has buttons I'd definitely recommend one of those crochet hook things - my mam said it made life very easy putting me in my dress and husband found it rather helpful getting me out of it!

    Yes.

    If you haven't already, appoint someone to 'take' stuff on the day. I got ready at my parents' home and then we drove to the ceremony and then to the reception.

    I had left a pile of stuff I needed taking on the dining room table and most of it got taken. But not my iPod (which I wanted for background music) as someone had decided I must have put it there accidentally! Also the gifts for the usherettes, as they were supposed to come over the day before but didn't in the end, and I plain forgot.

    I had a horseshoe on a ribbon that I was going to take up the aisle with me. Completely forgot about it. Found it on the dresser in our suite after the evening do!

    Lent it to one of my bridesmaids when she got married 6 months later though, so at least it got used eventually.

    I lost my 'To Do' list which was the cause of much swearing on the way to the venue (losing the list meant I forgot my wellies, my stockings and the readings for our ceremony).

    We also forgot to give our our lovely midnight feast snack, boooooo.

    My friend forgot to assemble her table centrepieces the night before the wedding or ask anyone else to do it the morning of the wedding.

    Cue a very agitated wedding co-ordinator rushing over to me and the other bridesmaid about 15 minutes before people were to sit down to eat, asking us what to do with the two large brown boxes of stuff! The other BM and I grabbed our OH's and rapidly assembled the items how we thought they had in mind - despite having had no real talk with them about it. We forgot the mirror plates and probably didn't do them quite as planned but no one noticed!!

    I forgot to tie the photos of my grandparents onto my bouquet... gutted.

    On the day as I was leaving to get in the car I had to run back as I forgot my engagament ring, then back again as I forgot my flowers, and then again as I forgot my bottle of water!!!

    p.s. anyone with transport, water in the car is a must, you will get a dry mouth.

    I also forgot to take off my engagement ring. Don't think I forgot anything else. Everyone says I forgot to throw my bouquet but I never wanted to through it anyway

    We didnt cut the top tier either. Although that wasnt really our fault it was the venue. They cut the cake up before ?

    I don't think we forgot anything, if we did, we haven't noticed.

    I made multiple copies of the to do list, and gave one to Mum, one to H, and one to someone else (my friend?) in case one went missing. Each day of the build-up was planned and everything we needed to do that day was listed down and ticked off. Control freak, me?!

    Just daft little things like our tog didn't take a photo of our FG handing me my "good luck" horseshoe but I can live with that!

    Would any of you care to share your on the day/ must take to the venue to do lists, i aspire to be a list person but always end up being a last minute panic person.

    Not that I can remember, I was a list Queen though and kept my master list with me at all times ?

    On the day though, I forgot to wear my garter and therefore my something blue. I didn't even realise until we got home the next day and saw it on the bed!

    Bizarrely i forgot about my flowers till after our morning ceremony. were delivered to the wrong place and i didn't even think about them. weird.

    we didn't have a photographer but i had a dictaphone and thought i would get someone to record the ceremony and speeches. got the wrong batteries though as i left it to the very last minute.

    On the day, I forgot just about everything bar me and my dress/veil

    As we were about to leave the room for the start of the ceremony, I realised I'd not got my garter or my Gran's ring (old) so had to get those on quickly. The photographer then joked with me about me having everything now and I told him I had everything but my head....

    ... I was about halfway down the 'aisle' before I realised I'd forgotten my bouquet?. Someone had to run back to my room and get it for me so we could start again (except they forgot the key, so had to run back again! ?) - good job H was under instructions not to turn round until I was in the garden. I also forgot my heel protectors and totally trashed the heels of my beautiful shoes [:'(]

    My something borrowed, I borrowed my nieces lipgloss in the end last minute and stuck it down my bra! I also forgot the thank you cards for the ushers to leave on their place settings, they got them the next day... I also would have forgot to do our first dance if H hadn't have come and found me! I was busy chatting and forgot all about it! Oh! I also forgot toothpaste in our overnight bag for our wedding night hotel.. grim. Lovely alcohol breath newlyweds!
