The wedding isn't even until May or June, and I'm freaking out already! I'm not even the bride, I'm the maid of honor! But there's way too much going on! Ahh! And is it normal for a 15 year old to be a Maid of Honor?

Really, I'm going to be nuts at my own! You should see the bride though, she acts like she's not freaking out, but, if you knew her like I do...

Yes and yes.
Normal to be nervous and normal to be maid of honour.
Look at it this way. You will have fun and remember most of the real attention is on bride. Just go forward with a smile and let her steal the show.

Don't worry - it's normal to stress out (if you're the bride or anyone closely involved in the wedding), but it helps to just take a step back and focus on what the wedding is really all about. Yes, it's nice to have the right certerpieces/ favors/ dresses/ candles/ music/ whatever, but it's not what the whole day is about. What's really important is the commitment they're making to one another, and having friends and family there to share it.
Just take it a bit at a time, and try not to freak out the bride by how nervous you are. (It should be your job to keep her calm and reassured, not the other way around.)
Oh, and although there's nothing wrong with having a 15-year-old Maid of Honor, it would be a good idea (if you haven't already) to check into whether or not you can actually sign as a witness to the marriage. I had a friend who was 16 when she was MOH in her sister's wedding, and since she was a minor, someone else had to sign. (Usually it's the best man and maid of honor, but another bridesmaid or someone may need to do it if you can't legally.)
Good luck, and just take a couple of deep breaths...

I've never heard of a 15 year old being a maid of honor, but there is nothing wrong with it. Don't stress it.. You'll be fine. If you are this nervous for someone else's wedding, I wonder what you'll be like at your own. Cheer up! :o)

Are you the bride's sister? My 18 year old cousin is going to be in my wedding as a bridesmaid. I am getting married in June and yes, Ahhhh..... I am freaking out too!

I think that's awfully young to be a Maid of Honor. A lot of responsibility too. Can you talk to your mother and have her go over everything with you? It's a wonderful thing that you're so involved, and I'm sure you're doing a fantastic job. Good luck.

You are kind of young to be the maid of honor,but don't worry
about it. Other people will be there to help you,and after this you'll
have in depth wedding experience.
