Organized Wedding Planning Everything from Your Engagement to Your Marriage

"The Organized Wedding" is a book of checklists to fill with your information. There are no lists of what flowers mean, but there are lines for what your grandma's corsages will include with checkboxes for when you order them. Most wedding organizers never even mention getting Grandma corsages, but most of us really love our Grandmas and want to make them feel special. It also covers the wedding ceremony - the part between getting dressed and the reception where you actually become man and wife. Most ignore it but I think it's kind of important. Unlike most wedding planners, this one doesn't end with the reception or even your honeymoon, although there is an entire section devoted to your honeymoon including a page just for all the confirmation numbers and contact information. Of course, it has timelines, pages to list gifts you receive at showers and your wedding, and all the things you expect in a wedding planner but it ends with something you don't expect: questions for your life together as a married couple. You know you have to update your wills (or write them, more likely) and change the beneficiaries for any life insurance policies, but do you have a list of your new spouse's doctors, in case of emergency? Do you know where to find their birth certificate, passport, and other critical documents? Have you talked about family and holiday traditions?
