I highly recommend buying the book 'The Knot Complete Guide to Weddings In The Real World'
I bought it on half.com for like $5 and it's helped me out so much.

Re: Do you guys feel the same way I do?
I started to feel stressed. I thought a friend of mine was going to help me plan, then we she started acting lackadaisical, I hired a professional wedding planner. That's my recommendation. You will ultimately save money in the end!
