Wedding Chore Update

So this is my "master to do list" for my wedding.  I wanted to share it on my blog so that I can update everyone on my progress.  I have seen this on several blogs but I based mine on Megan's from Fried Green Pickles.  It's a rather long list that I'm tackling one list at a time so bear with me.  The items crossed have been completed and the items that are highlighted are on the list for August.  I will be reposting monthly as a update to my readers and also a reminder to myself.
