There’s no end to the number of things that can go wrong on the one day you’re supposed to look and feel your absolute best.
Unsightly pores, a broken heel, ripped dress, late arrivals, terrible weather, last-minute arguments—the list is endless; and the possibilities are oh so terrifying!
As teenage girls, we all dread a vicious zit making its ghastly appearance at the most ungodly hour.
Prom night, graduation party, birthdays, formal dinners—each occasion is exposed to the threat of an unforeseen debacle.
But nowhere are its implications as severe as on your wedding day, where the slightest deviation from your plans can result in a disaster of epic proportions!
Sound the Alarm
Accidents happen all the time.
You break a nail, spill coffee, trip and fall, forget your wallet—it happens to the best of us!

- Unpredictable weather
It’s raining, it’s pouring—the wedding is boring!
I’ve seen several outdoor weddings get touched by a downpour—much to the couple’s chagrin.
But it’s Mother Nature—whaddyagonnado?
First things first: be spontaneous and keep a positive attitude.
Always stay up to date with the weather forecast and even if you have the slightest hunch, make sure the venue offers an indoor facility where you can take shelter for the time being.
Umbrellas are your friends, use them generously. And remember: nothing beats the romance of kissing in the rain! #TheNotebookWedding #RainyRomance

Your tie’s missing or you ripped a part of your dress—the horror of horrors, I get it.
