There are a lot of things to keep track of for a wedding. Although it’s set to be the most wonderful day of your life, it doesn’t exempt you from having a long list of decisions, compromises, and maybe even worries. There’s the venue to spruce up, the catering to finalize, and of course, the entourage to orient.
