next on the list...?
We are just under 4 months until the big day!!! Does anyone have a checklist of like literally everything I could possibly need to do from this point forward? I didn't think I would have the wedding nightmares, but as of the last week or so, I've started to have nightmares about forgetting things for the wedding and it's stressing me out :(I apologize in advance for repeating a question that was probably asked already!
