First, congratulations! Second, what is your future MIL like? Could she put on the Mom role and help you with this? Also, I don't know what your budget is like, but it might be worth looking into a wedding coordinator (though sometimes they are more trouble than they are worth). Also, I understand your sister is busy, but tell her to suck it up and get over it -- you're her sister, you'll help her when it's her turn, and you need her to help now. We've all been to University, we know how busy it can be, but we also know there are plenty of days spent lying around reading Cosmo with your girlfriends. I'm sure she can set aside one afternoon a week to help you out. In my three years in law school (much busier than college, I promise), I've thrown two baby showers and a bridal shower. It's possible to make time, just ask her nicely and show your appreciation.
Also, go to the drugstore and pick up a bridal magazine. I'm sure there is one for getting started, etc .... maybe there's even a "weddings for dummies" book? Also, all of my married friends have enjoyed the book "Diary of a Mad Bride," (I made the mistake of ordering three copies on Amazon, and now Amazon thinks I'm perpetually engaged and always recommends bridal stuff to me. Talk about rubbing salt in my wounds!).
Don't forget about us here, we can certainly be of help. Also, I'm sure there are some wedding message boards you can try too. Have you looked in Google Groups?
Good luck and congrats again!
