The Big Checklist

Planning a wedding is a big deal. There are a lot of things you need for a wedding, especially if you're having it at a venue that provides next to nothing. Sometimes I honestly have no idea what's left to buy, rent, borrow or steal and what I've already taken care of. So, like any good control-freak, I'm going to make a list. This is actually going to be the Mother of All Lists, containing everything I need or might need for the wedding day. As I purchase or order items, they get crossed off. Here goes!
