heather, i am 19 and have been engaged since october 27th 2007, my fiance and i didnt exactly have support from his family, and financially from mine...which the brides parents are suppose to pay for the wedding. seventeen is a hard age to be employed at but i recommend all grocerie stores, convient stores and subways, not the most fashionable, but flexible and subway pays pretty good for a first job. your young and should try to quit smoking now, it will save you sooo much money you wont believe and your life and your fiances. trust me. smoking is so overated. if you need someone to talk to you can IM me on mrsmrkleinknight or email me at mrsmrkleinknight@aol.com
