Personally, I believe that 19 is too young an age to start a family. BUT it's good that your fiance has shared his plans to have a child. It means he's committed to you and that's hard to find. Ultimately, having a child isn't something that's just rushed through and sadly, many people have them by accident. Think about where you are in your life. Are you stable enough to raise a child. Will your parents help, if they're able. If you have school you'd like to get done first. Experiences you'd like to live. Having a child, while a very rewarding thing in life, does take away many of these things that young people would like to do. Think about it. Seriously think long and hard because that child will stay with you for life. It's not a pet. The decision lies with you. If you evaluate yourself (and I mean, really, really inside) and think you honestly aren't ready, let him know. You two can always have children later. If he's seriously into you, he'll understand since you two are getting married. It's best to have a child a few years after marriage anyway so that you two can live a long 'honeymoon' stage and just have fun loving each other. If he insists despite your reluctance, I suggest going on the pill or using your own condoms just in case he'd get the wild idea to 'accidentally on purpose' get you pregnant with a condom he might have messed with. I know that's a harsh thing to take in, but you wouldn't believe what some people do nowadays right? Either way, seriously think about and speak with him openly. Give him a chance to speak his mind and LISTEN. It can be hard being a young parent, but it's not impossible.
Good luck! I hope I helped.
