Anyone got any rough timescales of what i should be doing month by month?
I have 12 months to go now so need to get my backside in gear as so far we have a date, church, vicar, photographer and reception but done nothing else. I dont want to do everything to quickly as work full time so dont have bags of time and like spreading things out but equally i know i need to get started too.
Thanks ladies xx
