I'm Getting Married in the Morning:
Final Checklist for the Night Before

Remember to set an alarm or arrange for a wake-up call.

Locate all essentials that you might forget in a panic—wallets, keys, airline tickets, rings—and put them in one safe place.

Read over your vows and put that piece of paper in a prearranged spot, whether it's in your tux pocket or with your best person.

Double-check that your wedding attire is neat and you have all the accessories: the right color socks, belt, cuff links, shined shoes, headpiece, handkerchief, undergarments, and jewelry.

Pack your getaway clothes separately from the luggage you'll be taking on your honeymoon.
