Hi im 20 yrs old and my fiancee is 18. he is in the army and in AIT right now a thousand miles away from me. He asked me to marry him the last time i was down visiting him, and i was happy to say yes. Now he wants to get married in august, on our anniversary and i have no idea where to start even organizing things. I really don't have the support network i need, and he is also clueless on how to make a wedding happen. Can someone please help me out?

You need to find out if your state requires a blood test or any other prerequsite. The work and cost depend on how large and elaborbrate you want it to be. The bigger it is the more help you are going to need. Consider a wedding planner. If you are planning on doing it all your self and and keeping it small and intimate there are many ideas you can get online and craft stores. Use your friends to help. Other than finding a licensed/ordained person to perform the ceremony and your state guide lines. Order your cake pick your dress and have a ball.
You can make it what ever you want it to be. It is your day afterall.

If i were you. i would sit down and make a list, find out who you want in it, on both sides, make sure they can all attend on the date...then you need prices. Of everything! i mean, if you are having it catered, call for prices, find a cake, call for prices, find dresses, call for prices, tuxes, flowers, church, preacher, invitations, thank you's, seating, hair do's. also, you will have to find out about the marriage license and blood tests. You want to make sure you know how soon and when to get it all done.

There is really nothing to stress over. If you are having a smaller wedding, you really don't need much. a preacher, a dress (i'm guessing he's wearing his uniform), some flowers and a license!

The best place to start would be figuring out your budget so you don't get in over your head from the start! Either way, no matter what, it's going to be beautiful.
