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?

Back to the Beginning: Would You Rather?

    Yikes, that's quite a question.... hmm, although my husband had very little to do with the planning process of our wedding (because he's in the Army and was gearing up for deployment so he was busy training for that), I'd have to say partner. No one knows your style and desires when it comes to weddings better than your partner. And the day is about them too. So I'd choose him to plan.

    My parents. If my FH planned the wedding it’d be at a shooting range.

    Oh god. Preferably neither because I'm so particular, but I trust my partner way more to come close to something I'd love than my parents. My dad would 100% just plan an event he would enjoy and not take any of my tastes into consideration, and my mom just doesn't care for this kind of thing (and by her own admission doesn't know what my tastes really are nowadays). My partner would come up with something very close to what I want and is good at planning.

    My mom with my fiancé’s help. My moms my best friend, knows everything I would want and would be able to put in all the time and energy it would take to plan. Also she did a lot for my brothers wedding so she knows all the details. My sweet fiancé is definitely involved in the planning but there are a million details he wouldn’t think of.

    Probably my fiancé as long as he can get help from my family a little bit. My mom is crazy and is gonna give me the opposite of what I want, my fiancé knows my style and what I like. If I could hand it over to my older sister or just my dad I might though.

    To my parents, specifically my mom! We have very similar taste and style and definitely enjoy the finer things in life. I love my husband but he has no taste or style when it comes to throwing a party of this magnitude and so I wouldn’t trust his judgment in this.

    My mom. FH would be happy just eloping, but i want a party and my mom would be more likely to give me what she thinks i want. She also has experience with weddings, as she's been married a few times.

    I would love to see My Amazing Man take control and put his stamp on things. I know it would be incredible. Smiley star

    I did tell him long ago actually, that I would have no trouble letting him do it all, as I trust him completely, and I know it would be brilliant.

    My parents. I mean my FH hasn’t had terrible ideas but I’ve definitely shot down a few.
