usually the bride parents plan will help with every thing
just be there for her and if you think her dress looks bad. because if you are real good friends she will want to know the truth.

Ok, you can do this, it's going to be work, but you can do this, and you can do it right. First thing first...
1] when is the wedding
2] what time is the wedding
3] what kind of money did she give you to spend
4] what kind of wedding does she want
a] formal b] simple c] themed (country, mexican, etc..)
5] a list of friends that can help
Sweetie, she's going to have to sit down and give you some ideas! She got to let you know how much money that you can spend. You may have to have an adult to sign contracts. Does her parents approve, are they going to help? If she wants something very basic, you just plan it like you would a party. There are books to help you, you can find them at the library. Do what you are doing there, and ask advice. If you get stuck get on the computer, there's knowledge here on this site, and helpful websites. Can she get married without her parents permission in your state? That's a biggie!!!! Call the courthouse, and find out. Some states you can't get married till you are 18 up to 21 without Mom or Dad signing for you. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT! You have to have a license to get married. She may have a tough time finding someone to marry them, with her being so young, unless she is pregnant. I don't want to rain on her parade or yours but these are big things you have got to know. Her groom is only 19, he may have to have someone to sign for him too!
If they are dead set on doing this, maybe they can have a small wedding at a church, and then a some cake and punch. Or get married at the courthouse, and have a big blow out for their friends at someone's home. There's all kind of possibilities that cost a fortune, but no use in all the planning and worrying if it's not legal. So, please check into this.....Does she know what a big job this is, she owes you big time!
God bless us all..........................

There is a "Weddings for Dummies" or some similar book. I got it when I was planning my own wedding.
Planning a wedding is a big task for a teenager. Do you have a parent or older friend that can help? If anything requires a signed contract, you will not be able to do it. Only the groom-to-be is old enough to sign a business contract.

Yikes! Thats awful young to be gettin' married! But whatever, You have to plan a "stagette" for her (although what you do for someone who isn't even old enough to drink or get a stripper, I dunno!). You just have to listen to her ***** about her mother, mother-in-law-to-be, husband-to-be, etc., 'cuz everyone is gonna be p!ssin' her off!! Nothin' like weddings and funerals to bring out the best in people - NOT! Just keep agreeing with her and reassuring her she's picked the right flowers, photographer, menu, etc. Obviously you guys are best friends for a reason, so I'm sure you'll know what to do, when you need to. Good luck!

Personaly I think she shouldn't do it..But it's up to her and you need help so I think you came to the right place..Oh and talk to your mom about all of this too...
Now on to your question....The dummie books there are two of them wedding kit for dummies and weddings for dummies..I have ordered them at my local libary that way I don't have to buy them and I can check them out as many times as I want..
Start by searching for wedding checklists....Get a few of them and go from there...Most of all be there for her...You both are so young...and she is going to need alot of support..Let her know you don't like this whole idea and that you are lost too...but in letting her know you don't like it be there for her at the same time...
And have her do alot of this work too by the way...don't do this all yourself if she wants to be young and dumb well let her but dont you miss out on anything in the mean time...
You can always mention them going to the court house to get married too...

This is so sad, she is so young. Just go to the justice of the peace and have a few friends over afterwards for cake.

Tell her to wait and not get married until she is 21.
That's what you should do.
