You only need:
marriage license
husband
ring
You may want to look into:
reception area
limo
flowers
centerpieces
place cards
favors for the guests
presents for the bridal party
tuxes
DJ or band
Videographer
Photographer
Passports if you plan to travel
I know you said you got your dress, but don't forget to include in your budget:
the veil
the shoes
makeup/hair/nails
Also, if you are getting married in the church, you need:
pay for the church fees/ organist/ alter boys/ cantor and your pre-marital class

Have you arranged a caterer? Either way, you have to make sure you have everything you need for the meal; not just the food, but the dishes, utensils, tablecloths, etc. Some caterers supply everything-some don't. Are you going to send out Save the Date cards? Did you purchase gifts for the bridal party? Corsages/boutonnieres for the parents? Have you hired a photographer? How about planning the honeymoon & packing for it? Have tips ready. Favors. Have you purchased a guest book? Those are just a few things off the top of my head. Congratulations and best wishes.

First of all...Congratulations!
Remember to schedule in your dress fittings and get all of your accessories together and put them in a safe place.
Find yourself a good photographer and/or videographer. Usually, you have to book these in advance so make sure to go over what you want and what they offer carefully. Also remember to discuss the price as they vary. Also, tell them exactly what types of photos you want and have a list ready of pictures you absolutely want them to take.
Get your stamps ready to send out those invitations.
Don't forget to order your flowers.
Order the men's tuxes...your bridesmaids' dresses.
The gift for the bridal party.
Transportation for the bridal party.
Also, don't forget the details...
Unity Candle
Cake Cutting Knife
Champagne flutes
Guest Book
Favors
Here are also some websites that can be very helpful in planning and executing your wedding!

Hire a wedding consultant, it is way too stressful to try to do this yourself. How about favors, food, music, program, officiant, have you secured a church for the ceremony as well as a place for the reception. What about your attendants and their dresses? If you do not want to hire a consultant, there are do-your-self books, with a checklist of all the thing you'll need to do.

A photographer/videographer, favors for the guests, gifts for the bridal party, flowers, a garter belt, make sure you have a seating chart, is the reception hall catering it?, a wedding song and possible dance lessons for you and your mate...It could be a lot of things...Are you taking a limo?

MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC!!!!
You can never, ever forget the music.
Whether it's a band, or a CD, or a mix on your ipod. Just make sure it ROCKS and a lot of people will enjoy it.
