Arrangement of documents and evidences

[shamsia]

Hi all! Im back with another question.

I know everyone has their own way of arranging everything, and I have mostly seen people clump together all the pictures, all the emails, all the phone records, you get the gist.

However, I was wondering if it is a feasible idea to divide all my evidences into 4 parts -

a) Wedding proposal and background (arranged marriage within the family)
b) Development of relationship
c) Wedding
d) Post-wedding

And in these parts go all the evidences of when they happened. For eg - the emails exchanged for the first time would go to the first folder, while the emails sent after the marriage go into the post wedding.

Just trying to identify the pros and cons of this plan. Absolutely any input would be much appreciated!!
Thanks!

You can arrange it separately like that, yes.  Whatever you do, you want to arrange it logically, making it easy for the IO to find everything they need to refer to.

yes, put in separate folders by "category".

You may want to bundle all the e-mails and letters into a single folder.

Instead of bundling all the emails and letters into a single folder, I want to divide them into folders based on the development of our relationship...like emails exchanged before the marriage go in the first folder, while the ones after marriage go to the last. Need more input about that idea...

you can do it that way but it's a bit harder to organize.

i guess you can have folders such as "pre-engagement", "engagement", "post-engagement", "marriage", "honeymoon", "post-honeymoon" and put all your evidence in the appropriate folder.

I did the same but forgot the "post-honeymoon" LOL...

Yep, thats exactly what I want to do. My folders would be
a) Wedding proposal and background
b) Development of relationship
c) Wedding
d) Post-wedding

We did not have an engagement for various reasons. Just wanted to know how feasible this idea is. Thanks!
