This is a suggested wedding timetable only based on planning your wedding one year in advance. Some couples may have a longer period, others a much shorter period in which to achieve their dream wedding. Should you find yourself in the latter category it may be prudent to delegate some tasks. If you do decide to delegate ensure there are clear lines of communication at all times. Organise some face-to-face meetings and do not be afraid to ask for specific details on how the task is progressing.
