Like a walk to get iced coffee, and moments of lightness spontaneity that helped her snap out of the dreamlike flow of the day. Find people that make you feel calm, and cared for to surround you on your big day. It can be very stressful, and having people around that want to help and do so with ease can make all the difference.

Ultimately the planner did not ease the duties and stresses of the day in the way that would have actually been helpful. Do not just suffer through a bad planner!
