    I just got married on Saturday :D I had a bag to use but ended up not using it at all. It stayed in the family room upstairs (in a room I had used to get ready prior to the ceremony), and I went upstairs to touch up my powder and lippy twice. Would have been easier had I given my lippy and powder to someone else to carry!

    Well, got married today! :D I took my little bag, filled it with all my little bits and bobs....and never used any of them! Ah well, it looked nice and pretty hanging with my flowers and heart (made from dried flowers that my Mam and Dad gave me), and I'll use it again, so I'm still glad I got it.

    No bag here, my bouquet was heavy enough and between that and the tissues as my hayfever flared up I had enough! That's why DH has a sporran lol

    Handy! :D

    When (went to put OH!), my husband (Oooo get me! :rotfl:) got emotional, he blamed it on hay fever, and I was like "Those flowers are artificial you know!" Must have been horrible to get it for real :( I used to get it really bad, so I can sympathise.

    I never used to suffer but do now, I had taken my antihistamine aswell. The make up artist gave me a row (in Italian so heavens knows what she was saying!) as she thought I was crying when I reached for the tissues until she realised it was just my nose! It went like a blimmin tap all day!
    I had a spare down the front of my dress just incase, had to give it to DH during the ceremony as he had a sweaty brow, and he had to give the photographer, put of his sporran again during ceremony as he was sweating buckets!

    DH had tissues, money, my cards, and a spare lippy, BFs partner had her phone, lippy, tissues, my phone, my camera, his glasses, and whatever else he had to fit in. Was hilarious every time he went to try and find something!
