Hi Kelly- The whole wedding thing is a whole new world and a new vocabulary. I found www.theknot.com to be a great site for help and tips and to do lists. Post on some of the wedding bulletin boards, you'd be amazed how much other brides want to help. Try to find a Canadian one that has people in your area on it so that they will be able to give you good tips.
Remember, you have lots of time so play a bit and dream a bit. Wedding planning is fun but stressful too.
A lot of the tips are quite local re marriage licences etc. My top tips are to read and browse and find ideas that you like and what you want from your wedding eg huge party -vs- intimate affair etc and start from the very beginning. The first thing that you usually need to choose is a venue and from there it will all start to take shape and you'll have an idea what your wedding will look like.
