Wedding Photography Checklist?

I am a professional photographer and will be shooting my first wedding in August. What are some questions that I should ask the bride and groom that will help me on their wedding day to be more organized? Any of you pros also and have some sort of "checklist" that you go by for consultation? Any tips and advice on how to be better organized so that things will flow better that day?

I am a pro wedding and social photographer
Your first wedding is going to be so much fun! really. Exciting and new.
Mine went so well!
hanks to the couple too!

just go from the beginning and work your way to the end of the day.
Photograph EVERYTHING YOU SEE
ON A 8 HOURS WEDDING I SHOOT ABOUT 2000 + PHOTOS
20 GB FULL

You will find A LOT of people with cameras, http://idphotography.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/img_0027-edit.jpg That is NORMAL
When they got married give the family the chance to photograph them too. Here you can have a drink and relax for 15 minutes.

------------------------------------
depending where you are they either marry in a church or uot doors on location (Here in central Australia, the last is very popular)

so checklist:
1. BRIDE GETTING READY:
