Wedding-Nervous??
19/f
My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years in November. We are engaged, and planning a wedding in 2015.
I know he is the one I want to be with, we have a normal relationship, it isn't perfect, but its worth every second.
Last night my mom asked me about the wedding deal, and it got me really thinking about it, and now I have butterflies and I'm really nervous although its 3 years away.
Is this normal?
What are some tips when planning a wedding; like things you wish you knew BEFORE you got married?
Any tips would be helpful.
I don't have any female friends-too much drama and dont' care to have any- so what should I do about BridesMaids & Maid of Honor??

Family members could take the place of maid of honor or bridesmaid. From your family or his. Even if they are not close friends you could still ask someone to be in it

I got married almost a year ago after a long engagement.
One thing I like to pass on to other brides-to-be is that the most important thing is to remember that it's just a fancy party. The wedding only lasts one day, so it's not worth putting yourself in debt and stressing yourself to death over.
I spent $3500 on my wedding. No, that's not a typo. We had an afternoon picnic in the park for ours, with a friend for a photographer and a cake made by another friend of ours. It was casual and a lot of fun, and I really wouldn't have done it any differently. I wasn't stressed, I wasn't under pressure from relatives, and I didn't really care if I impressed people or not. The best part is that friends of ours who got married a year before us still haven't paid their wedding debt, and ours was paid cash up front!
No matter what kind of wedding you have, be it a $100 000 extravaganza or a $100 city hall ceremony, you're going to come out with the same thing. You go home married at the end of the day no matter how much you spend. That's the truly important part, and if you can keep that in mind, you won't agonize so much over the colour of the chair covers and where to sit your great-aunt Bertha.
Also, make sure you put some elements in that are unique to you. I walked down the aisle to a song by the Smashing Pumpkins. We had a couple of funny readings during the ceremony, and an entirely non-denominational ceremony as well. It was all very much what we wanted. Don't let anyone force you into a magazine wedding that makes you feel like you don't belong there.
I also don't really have many female friends. We had a small wedding party (2 on each side), so my bridesmaid was my sister and I had a man of honour, since my best friend is a guy. We had a blast, so I definitely recommend having your true best friend up there with you, whether male or female.
