Re: O7 er's TO Do List
Ok 2 words: HOLY CRAP
At the same time, this is going to help so much because it was that little stuff that you would never think about and it's good to have a check list.
Thank you sooooo much

I am so happy that I still have over a year til the wedding. Long engagements are definitely better for your stress levels.

Re: O7 er's TO Do List
For the sake of my own sanity, I thought I'd go through and mark the things I actually plan on doing - so much of this is just extra, and I don't even plan on doing it! When you think about it in those terms, and you delete the repeats, there's about half as much as it appears on first glance.
