Hello all
My name is Natasha, I got engaged on 1 December 2013 and our wedding is booked for 26 September 2014! EEk !!
I found this list which helped me when I to started to think about what is the format. Them marry that with mine and hubby's tastes. Then it was easy to decide what we wanted to do what we didn't want to do. What we could do our selves, what we needed to buy. I'm a list maker too, so I have many lists.
