Default My (really, really) big to-do list

I've probably e-mailed this to at least 8 people in the last few weeks. And today I did one of these:

Duh! Just post the little monster!

So, for your planning (or amusement at how totally A/R I can be), attached is my 105-item to do list. I set it up so it reminds you about things. When you've got 2-weeks to complete something, it turns yellow, when you've missed your deadline, it turns red.

Pretty easy to use; put your wedding date in cell C1, the rest of the dates are calculated based on 120 days out, 90 days out, etc. If you want to add anything, just insert a row. It won't automatically calculate the deadline, but you can hand-key it into column D.

Also, there are check boxes and tickmarks - they are dingbats - the box is a (lowercase) c, and the tickmarks are a (lowercase) a.

Happy planning!!

Becks, you are awesome. How many times this week do i need to say that??

Ok, I am sure I totally missed this somewhere else, but what do you need to prepare to change your name? I thought I would just change it when I got back...

I don't know about PA, but in NY you can opt to change it when you register for your marriage license. I figured that out by googling "marriage license NYC". Try the same for PA and see what comes up.

Ahhhh. We never applied for a marriage license cuz that is all supposed to be done by the resort for us, since we are having our legal ceremony in JA. But I am going to check it out anyway. Might as well find out with 3 weeks to go, if something isn't right!
