FIRST: GET ENGAGED. You are only "going to be" engaged. So AFTER you get engaged...
Go to... http://www.theknot.com
It really helped me start out with wedding plans.
Think of a date and place for the wedding. Fiancee and I want a beach wedding, and since we need to reserve it at least a year in advance for the location, we decided the date would be June '08. That will give us plenty of time to plan.
After that, send out an engagement announcement in the paper with a black and white photo of the two of you.
Then figure out a budget. Plan as though it were ONLY YOU TWO paying for the wedding. Any donations from the bride or grooms family should be considered an added bonus and NOT a requirement!
As I said, the Knot has a great planning site. Another good site is http://www.weddingsolutions.com
Congrats!
Also, ENJOY being engaged! Give yourself a year or two to enjoy that part of life, IMO too many people get married right away they don't fully enjoy it.

It may seem really overwhelming at first; but before you do anything try to see if there is a marriage preparation course you can go to together. Because believe me planning a wedding is stressful and before you go through all those sorts of details you want to make sure that this is really what the both of you want. There are those books advertised all over the internet that have 1001 questions for couples, I encourage you to go through a book like that, together. Because there are a lot of issues that still have not come up yet. Believe me I know, my boyfriend and I had been dating almost seven years before we got engaged and now the stress of our upcoming wedding is getting the best of us. But we have one the steps outlined above and that has really given us a solid foundation for our upcoming life together. Oh and CONGRATS! You should be excited as well!!!! Its a new chapter of your life, enjoy it. Take deep breaths and relax.

First, are you going to be the bride or the groom? Your question is very vague. Go to the library and get a book on "how to plan a wedding" if that is what you mean by "what should I do now?". Also, the wedding is the fun part, the marriage is the hard part. Think carefully during this time to be sure you are doing the right thing.

Plan your wedding and just go about as you were before she obvious liked how you were then because she married you! So just go with the flow and act normal!

If you don't know, then you are obviously too immature to be getting engaged.
