If you have a lot of different tasks lists that you want to see all in one place, check out Trello. Trello is a task management tool accessible via both app and website.

This free app also has the ability to mark and sort tasks as to-do, doing, and done.
Mint: For Budgeting and Keeping Track of Funds
Mint is a free app where you can take the guesswork out of keeping track of your wedding spending.
