Wow, 15 and responsible. Go hug your mother!
I think what you need to do is talk to the bride or the bride's mother. Find out what they are expecting of you since the oldest sis/MoH isn't around. They may not expect you to host any prewedding parties but CO-host them. Then again, they might expect you to pick up some of the slack. I'd call or email.
Good luck. You're quite a girl!

It depends on the bride.
She may want you to help her decide on a dress, make decisions regarding the reception and help with preparations. Ask her what she needs help with. She may only want you to stand up with her at the wedding. If so, then you've got an easy job!
You and her sister may want to throw a bridal shower - this often is the job of the bridesmaids, along with a bachelorette party. Ask if her mother would like to be involved with the bridal shower.

Nothing really. I am sure she knows that you probably don't have the means but you can help with stuffing and printing invitations, things like that. When I was 15 and a bridesmaid, I helped with favors, typed the programs and did little odds and ends so there are things you can do

I would let the older sister take the reigns and you offer to help her out in any way you can. She will appreciate that.
Other than doing that, just lend your support to the bride when she needs you. Being a good and helpful friend is probably all she wants out of you!
Good luck!

They won't expect much of you except to just help out. If someone gives a bridal shower, you can help with setting things up, cleaning up, etc. There will probably be a lot of running around to do, but since you do not have a license no one will expect you to do this.
Just relax and have fun and do what you can.

Its highly likely they wont expect more of you as you are only 15. The older sister (mid-20's) will likely take up the slack.
Just lend a hand when you can, Im sure it will be appreciated.

It really depends on the bride's expectations. You need to ask her. As for me, all I want from my bridesmaids os for them to be there for me on that day.

She'll let you know when and if she needs help.

You might have to pay for your dress - maybe your parents will help with that.
