Looks good! I didn't even do a cover letter, nor did I send wedding photos or chat logs! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone on here, but for those of you who already sent your I130 and didn't provide a cover letter/checklist, don't panic...we still got an approved petition. I did include all the important documents and boarding passes from all of my flights over so they could atleast see that we have spent lots of time together. Good luck!
