I love the idea of a makeup professional, as I never quite mastered the art of makeup. It would be worth the splurge on this special day.

As an aside, be prepared on how to respond to questions about your health. I didn’t want to talk about my diagnosis and treatment at a happy event and learned to say so: “Thank you for asking, but I am here to celebrate a happy occasion and do not want to discuss…..” This may not be you, but it is something to be prepared for.

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding and best wishes with your treatment.
