Three weeks before our wedding, my fiancé, Chris, and I visited our wedding site to meet with our band leader and show him around. As we approached the turn-of-the-century mansion, a pleasant smoky scent came wafting toward us. Sure, it was March and we should have realized that it wasn't really cold enough for a fire, but we were too deep in prenuptial bliss to be skeptical of anything.
So imagine our surprise when we opened the heavy wooden doors to find enormous dehumidifiers drying the foyer. Upstairs, yellow emergency tape was stretched across the entrance to the library, the room in which we were to marry, and piles of wet books were strewn about the floor. The site manager wrung her hands as she told us there had been a fire, then became curt when we asked if the repairs would be completed in time for our wedding. 'We have to fly in a woodworker to repair the damage,' she spat. 'I have no idea how long this will take.'
Ah, the best laid plans... The reality is, no matter how organized you are, a last-minute mishap can threaten to ruin your celebration. While Chris and I were lucky that the damage to the mansion was repaired by our wedding day and our party went off without a hitch, or even a hint of smoke, there are measures you can take to protect yourselves from even the worst unforeseen events. Here's how to guarantee some peace of mind for your big day.
