So much to do before the "I dos"

How do people do this? I feel so overwhelmed already... its well over a year untill we get married and I'm already stressing out. There's so much to do - so much to plan and SO much money to come up with. I'm starting to think, more and more, that we should just have a small courthouse wedding and then have a reception... that right there would take 3/4 of the unknowns out of the equation. I have a feeling that even if I had given myself 3 years to plan a wedding I woudl still feel like there's not nearly enough time to get everything done. Is a piece of paper really worth all this hassle? As far as I'm concerned we're already married...

ugh! don't EVER try to plan a wedding...just sayin...
