Im sooo confused what type wedding he wants 🤯

Stephanie, on July 7, 2020 at 1:27 AM Posted in Planning 0 21
We both want destination in Florida and we both agree about 20 or so people. This is our 2bd marriage for both of us. We agree to keep it at 10k or less. Now comes the issue...

We talked and both liked beach or else Disney wedding. Now i priced out Disney and it fits the wallet fine and we both love its different. Less stress as a destination location. We know things are always beautiful so pretty stress free. He liked the idea of the pavilion since you see the castle etc.so thought this was more them likely it
Looked at beach on both sides of Florida have quotes that will cost more unless we cut some things down or out.however either way the beach will be more money no matter what we cut back on. He said just make it simple get a permit go to the beach say our vows and be done with it. In the same breath he says we need to have photographer wants 2. Reception have toast dance buffet meal and real flowers. How is that simple or cutback? Like i don't mean to sound like the nightmare bride . I just want it pretty and memorable. If we are just gonna go stand in sand say idos. We may as well go to the court house . Skip everything at the beach . I can cancel my dress . He wants dress shorts. He said this is getting bigger then he thought. One minute he wants this stuff thrn it changes to wanting it very basic cut to the chase style.It makes me sad i had something beautiful in my head and feels like its being washes away. Should i just throw my hands up say forget it and do a quick beach thing. The worst part is it bothers me enough i wont want to wear my dress anymore. Id just go get something basic to wear. He keeps going back and forth its driving me nuts

    It sounds like he is wishy washy in what he wants. That can happen sometimes though I know when I was wedding planning I had moments where I was doubting the choices I made or doubting what I wanted. You gotta ask him what’re the most important aspects he wants and then see what compromise can be reached

    I agree to sit down and discuss what is most important to both of you so you’re in the same page. If it’s not the cost, maybe there’s something else that’s bugging or worrying him. You may both have to compromise some, but I’m sure you can come up with a plan you’ll both be happy with. Good luck!

    Are you both pretty involved in the planning, or are you the one doing most of the research? I’m doing most of the planning, and I have found that my FH seems pretty confused about what he wants sometimes... but I think that’s because he doesn’t have all the information that I have. He has also talked about wanting certain things but is surprised when I show him the cost. He doesn’t really know what’s typical because he hasn’t been doing the research. Like others have said, maybe it would help to sit down and have more in depth conversations

    I would have a talk with him explaining your feelings and what you really want. I bet he would be on board then.

    I have done the research and then sh0wed him. I have to try and do it again. He was saying whatever you want its the brides day. I told him no its our day. I may have to just say list your priorities and show him prices again. I'm just tired of gojng back and forth from this beautiful day just snall scale ...to then it seeming like for me a quick i do in 5 minutes. As i said if its gonna be a 5 minute thing i may as well forget all the stuff just go to the court house.

    Same!!!
    My fiancé thought we could have a wedding and reception at a venue in coastal Virginia for under $10k. He head basing his numbers off being married before in a different area that isn’t a huge tourist/destination area.
    I agree with everyone else. Find out what elements he has to have. It’s not just your day, it’s his as well. And outside opinions from anyone, including your daughter, need to be cast aside. It’s not their wedding. It’s not their love being celebrated. Do what you two want. The Disney thing sounds awesome. My FH would have loved a Star Wars wedding but I’m not nearly as into it as he is.

    I understand. My FH has pretty much said “do whatever you want” for everything beyond where and when, but I still keep showing him things because sometimes he surprises me and gives me good feedback. His priorities were location, date, and food, everything else is just extra money being spent to him. Maybe rather than going over options again, just sit down and discuss what your expectations are for the day and what gods expectations are for the day. You want a nice aesthetic, he may not care about that, but there are things that are important to him too I’m sure.

    I feel that is men. I want a bigger thing and then he wants more simple. I dunno about your fh but I know mine would have wanted the courthouse. I will say beach weddings can be lovely. If you only have 20 people I would look up officiants that coordinate beach weddings as some of them will be cheaper than Disney. As others have said sit down with him and compromise on what you both want. You do not want the beach but sounds like he does not want a Disney wedding. Maybe the compromise is a Gazebo or bed and breakfast. Many venues are doing elopement specials right now or check these sites for inspiration you can both agree on:

    Thats just it he loves the Disney part . He wanted the pavillion as did i. I wasnt gonna ask for it since he was already liking the Disney idea . If he could he would married in the park but thats to expensive for us.
    Maybe he has to many choices lol.

    Men are just annoying. In one instance my FH said small wedding with family. I literally planned for that and kept it at a reasonable budget then he gets frustrated and asks what happened to it being just about us two. Then we planned for just us two and our two friends ha ha. At one point he agreed we should go abroad and when I looked into it he asks why spend all that money? LOL One minute he will say he does not care and then when I do something he has an opinion -_-. Men are just as complicated as we are. I would suggest talking out your feelings and ask him what exactly what does he want and compromise where you can both be happy.

    No shorts!!! That's all I have to say. He can sweat for 15-20 minutes. He can also wear a lightweight suit. They're not all hot wool

    I highly recommend the Naples Princess. It's a yacht that has a 2 hour sunset cruise. It is gorgeous!!! Rent the 2nd floor out. It's PERFECT for 20 people. You can have your gorgeous dress, and whatever decorations you want. You can go big, or keep it simple because the views are amazing already. You won't need to do a lot. You can have a seated dinner or buffet. We had to have seated due to Covid. The maple ham and mahi mahi are delicious. The cost of the second floor, open bar, seated dinner, and the chair sashes with matching napkins was $4500. DM me if you want more info. All of my vendors were amazing! 😊 The pictures on WeddingWire are pre-covid and they renovated everything during that time. Here are a few pictures from my wedding last week to help you get an idea of how it looks now! By the way, they have air conditioning!! Good luck with everything!

    Oh that looks pretty thanks for sharing that. I found a place on vero Beach we just signed our contract. Thank you though it might be a good option for a renewal he said we should do it in a year for our anniversary. I thought sounds good lol planning and doing all that is fun

    Good! I'm glad you found a venue. That was the hardest part for me. Everything else seemed to fall into place. Best wishes!!
