The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has published advice on an unusual topic for them: weddings.
CDC’s Wedding Day Survival Guide
"We’re sure it’s just a fluke that wedding season happens to coincide with hurricane season. ... Many of us here at CDC realized that planning for a wedding isn’t that much different from planning for a disaster. ...
[Um... 'Kay. Not sure what that has to do with disease control.]
"Emergencies could range from a tear in your wedding gown, tornado, health issues, monster-in-laws, or bridezilla on the loose.
"You’ve put in a lot of work leading up to this event, so the idea of a back-up emergency kit shouldn’t be too far-fetched. The bridal kit should include extra safety pins, makeup for touchups, maybe a few sedatives. ...
[Yeah, sure, that's the same stuff you'd stock for tornadoes.]
"When dealing with an emotional bride, try to remember your loved one is probably stressed out and will soon return to her caring self after the wedding is over. Be supportive and have some bottled water from your emergency kit and a box of chocolate on hand."
This couple didn't let two tornadoes spoil their wedding:
