I decide stress or happiness. And the later wins. Happiness and Breeze in Wedding Planning! Hooraay!
I completely say no to the conformity of wedding cramming.
And so far here's what I accomplished.
Highlights on the following big rocks:
Set the Date and Budget
Reserved the Church and Wedding Venue
Reserved and have chosen the Photographer and Videographer
And most of all... I'm within my budget! Woohoo!

You can also do this, just have Martha Stewart or the Knot website complete your wedding checklist.
And if you have coordinators, ask them too and merger the checklist like what I did.
Most of all, ask help. Talk to your families and friends to help you with the errands and before you know it
you're checking each and every box.
I will be posting a lot more of what I do so feel free to comment and give a good cheer.
