If you had to hand over complete wedding planning control to either your fiancé(e) or your parents, who would you choose??

Would you rather let your partner or your parents plan the wedding?

Next Question: Spend a day with your mother-in-law or spend a day with your father-in-law?

    My partner. He's clueless but I feel like if it was my parents they'd spend more money

    I was raised by a single father who I’m sure would hate planning a wedding and I would need a woman’s touch so definitely my partners

    My partner over my parents but if we could pick his parents I would say his parents because his mom and I have the same taste in everything and she has been helping me the most with ideas!

    FH for sure. He would do exactly what I picture without me even having to tell him.

    I think my mom... I would love to say fiance, but i know he wouldn't get anything done. My mom knows me very well and knows fiance pretty well so i think she would do a good job planning. Fiances parents- i'm not sure how well they know me really and they are a little bit more bougie then me.

    My partner-- he knows me sooooo well and to the T, that I am sure out nuptials would be something super special. He probably would not have done a big wedding, but rather taken me on a trip somewhere and done some type of destination ceremony and then a celebration with family separately all over-- which i think would have worked just as well. Also he like dragons, memes and pusheen cat-- and chocolate ... sweets... fudge. The man would've done something decadent.

    My FH for sure. He's actually very involved with all the decisions and is pretty particular about how it will look. I would fully trust him to do all the planning! Actually, I would love for him to take over the reigns haha, but he works way too much

    My FH would try so hard, but my mom has helped plan so many weddings I think her end result would be better.

    Partner. My mom would have had us get married in her backyard and throw a reception in her garage. No one would have come. She offered that for a reception party back home and we respectfully declined...she did that for my first wedding and it was tacky and no one came because they live in the middle of nowhere.

    I would LOVE it if my fiancé took over! Planning is fun but stressful

    I would say my partner, but he’s already stressed with school and work, and my mom didn’t get to plan her wedding, so I’d ask my parents

    I guess my mother-in-law to be. My mom is in heaven; it would be too stressful for my dad; and my fiancé would probably get the cheapest whatever!!! I choose my future in-law.

    My parents have passed away, but i'd rather have them plan it as ghosts than have my fiancee do it. He tried setting a 1500 budget for the ENTIRE wedding. He has no clue what goes into planning a wedding, even a small one
