Dearest Bride,
   Make a list of E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Everything. Make a list of the lists you make so you can keep track of them all.
   You’ll soon see that doing this will do more for you than just help you remember things. All of a sudden you’ll think of things in the darndest places at the weirdest times. Things you wouldn’t have thought of if you didn’t have those lists.
   Keep a small notepad or digital voice recorder with you always. It’s for those things you want to add to one of those lists that, by the way, you keep organized in a 3-ring binder.
   What you want to understand about lists is that they free your mind to focus on other things. Your imagination will be free to come up with other things that might have gone overlooked.

You want all this info in one place, easy to find, easy to write in, easy to keep organized!
