OMH: What did you forget?

We have a ton of weddings coming up around here, so here's a question for the married ladies that might help out the soon to be brides. (It's also slow around here.)

In all of the craziness, what did you forget the day before the wedding/on the wedding day/day after?

Mine:

When we got to the hotel I was spending the night before the wedding at I was unloading the car and realized my suitcase was still sitting in my living room. In all of my concern for getting my decor and wedding day attire in the car, I left my suitcase full of normal clothes. My lovely BM's volunteered to drive the 45 minutes there and back to get it.

On the wedding day I received a pearl set from my DH, I was wearing diamond stud earrings and just set them down on the dressing table in the bride's room in my excitement to put the pearls in. It wasn't until I took the pearls out at the hotel post-wedding that I realized I had no idea where the diamonds were. Again, BMs to the rescue, one had picked them up for me and had them in her purse.

My DH forgot shoes to wear after the wedding and got to rock tux shoes to brunch.

Lesson learned: Appoint a responsible BM to handle things you think you will remember but won't.

    We forgot to set aside some time to exchange our gifts.  It ended up being a very rushed thing, and I wish we could have had more time to savor it before rushing off to the rehearsal.

    I forgot to tell the guys to make sure they cleaned up the dressing room at the chuch - so me, DH, and a couple others were gathering up tuxes instead of heading off to our hotel, after the reception!  (DH had left his stuff there too.)

    That's all I can think of at the moment.

    We left our overnight bags at the venue when we made our exit after the reception. Oops. We had to turn around. As far as the wedding day, didn't forget anything. I was pretty prepared.

    I didn't really forget anything important.

    All I can remember is that I didn't bring a regular bra for the day after... only had the strapless that I wore to the RD, but it wasn't really a big deal.

    I forgot my phone charger of all things and Ben had to bring it.  My wedding weekend started on Thursday with my lingerie shower and I forgot earrings for that night. 

    I didn't forget anything wedding related though!  :)

    Hmm... I forgot to tell someone to take the wrappers off the FG's candy bouquet.  When I saw that bouquet AFTER the ceremony and the wrappers were still on, I was like - really?!  But, oh well.  That's all I can think of.

    I left my veil at the hotel.  Luckily, the church was five minutes from the hotel.

    I forgot to give the groomsmen their gifts, I can't remember if I left them at home or at the hotel. However, Courts forgot his suit jacket. Luckily, my dad was just kind of hanging out/running errands that day, so he was able to drive home and get it!

    I almost forgot my veil and to take a bath.
    I did forget my bouquet and to put a charm that DH got me on the bouquet.

    We had boxes like Stephie had. 

    With all that will be going on before and after the wedding, don't forget about yourselves!
