Idea: Grouping by "The Journey"

Instead of a long list of files, group them by where the couple is in their timeline:

  1. Phase 1: Booking & Engagement

  2. Phase 2: The Final Countdown (1 Month Out)

  3. Phase 3: After the "I Do's"

This prevents them from feeling overwhelmed by documents they don't need yet.
