Our Big Gay Wedding

Donation protected
So Elwin and I got together just a month short of a year as I write this. Now I know this may not seem like a cause worth funding, after all we are both just so young and what not. Despite the fact that we are both 18, and yes I am fully aware we have plenty of time to declare our love for one another, but we simply don't want to wait so long. After all we both want to go for a masters if not doctorate in college, which will create a 12+ year engagement as it is, then with all the debt and what not involved in that much schooling we will be hard pressed to even marry in the next 20-30 years. Not to mention  we want all of our friends, and most of our family to be there, so really we just want to have that day, so then we can truly take the next step to the rest of our lives together.  
So just to be clear this is to pay for our wedding and honeymoon, we are trying to keep the wedding cost effective as possible, but even then we are going to need all the help we can get. So any help anyone can give will be much appreciated, thank you. Oh and for anyone who is coming to the wedding this will be taken in place of a wedding gift,
I'm going to tell our story is a unique way, backwards. So our relationship recently has been like that of any old married couple, arguing about literally everything just to mess with one another. We don't actually really even fight with each other, just play around to ya know have fun. We recently celebrated each others birthdays and valentines day, both of us had a blast. I actually got to meet his parents then, both of them were wonderful, unfortunately I only met them for that day since they were split, both of them living in different states. I have met his Dad on a seperate occassion before hand but that is another story. Anyway in all of these days together we had fun and really just enjoyed each others company. I'll rewind a ways back to december now. The day was the 6th and it was particularly cold. My loving fiance, or well boyfriend at the time, decided he wanted to take me on an extra special date. We spent the entire day in his city, we listened to local poetry and music in a small cafe, we even went to the high schools play to enjoy some theatrics. All of this perfect date he planned had me smiling like an idiot, wishing it could never end. However it ended up getting oh so much better, you see upon completion of the play he introduced me to some of the cast that were his friends. One of them in particular he had apparently enlisted to distract me. So I was talking to her, but me being the love sick puppy (Funny because that his pet name for me) I am decided I wanted my love back. Upon turning around to look for him there he was on the ground on one knee. I thought maybe he was just tieing his show or something, but then I saw it. He pulled out a ring made of gold, with three beautiful diamonds that looked like stars. Honestly I don't know what crossed my mind next, I was informed that I shook my head yes, then just fell to the ground in tears with him holding me. After all of those shennanigans we (being a couple of his friends and us) went to a nearby park in the freezing weather. I was still crying from the proposal, but also from the park which was flowing with beautiful lights of several colors for christmas. I'll end that story there. The reason all of this occured is because of months of planning on his part, he knew I loved christmas, and the arts. He planned that entire day just so he could make that one moment perfect. He even went as far as to start fake fights with me over the stupidest things previously just to make me not think it was coming. 
Now really there is plenty more to tell but I think this is a good start. Don't worry I'll add plenty more as time goes on, just as he will. 
Thanks to anyone and everyone who helps :)
-Love Dustin
