When I got married I planned and had everything organized down to the last detail.  I had excel sheets organizing the guest lists and gift lists, I had contact lists and itinerarys.  I had everything planned out and done a couple months before the wedding.  Everyone kept saying how I should become a wedding planner and I never gave it much thought.  Course that was until my sister’s wedding then came up a year later.  Then I helped her get that planned and organized up here in Minnesota since she was living in St Louis at that time.  I thought that would then be the end of that once again but then my friend decided to get married labor day weekend and now it seems I’m helping with most of her plans.  I never knew how organized a person needs to been when you get married and plan a wedding until I have been part of the wedding process in 3 completely different weddings.  Hey if need any advice or recommendations on vendors to use I have now assisted on a wedding in Rochester, MN, LaCrescent/LaCrosse area and the twin cities area.
