Here I was thinking I had mostly everything done for the wedding except a few little things......I went over my list again today and boy was I wrong. I have still so much to do (the only big thing left is the damn Florist) and I just reached the 6 month mark. Can someone help me find the 'TO DO' list so I can make sure that Im not forgetting anything else?
