Wedding check list
The key of a successful wedding is by far the wedding checklist. After you said “I will marry you” you have to start writing your list. The more detailed the list is, the easier will be for you to organize everything. Write the following headers: “ To Dos”, “Needs”, “Due”, “Who's responsible”, “Contact”. Print your list and in time start checking.
Here is some TO DOs for your panning list:
