My fiancé is more excited than i am 😂

Andrea , on March 15, 2018 at 6:39 PM Posted in Planning 0 25
Just thought I'd share something with you ladies. So my fiancee is on of those men that agrees with whatever I like or want. Our wedding isn't until 8/2019. So I haven't started much planning. Every time I mention something to him he gets excited but irritated because I ask so many questions because I ALWAYS take his opinion seriously. What are the MAIN things a name opinion is needed on? Do they have input on cake or flowers or music? Did you ladies leave any future for the FH?

    I have selected three options for everything and asked him to decide, in a way that I'll be happy regardless of his choice.
    So he'll have a say on everything! 😊

    Good point, so far I have just included him on the location and date. We already chose the colors a while back. I'm letting him do the cake considering I don't eat cake so I'm not sure what people will like, so that's left to him and the MOH 😂😉

    My fiancé is involved in every decision except my dress. I narrowed my top choices down for everything then went over it with him to make the final choice.

    Honestly, I wish I would just stop asking my FH's opinion. He has opinions on things I just want him to agree with me on not mess up my vision. lmao

    We have wedding meetings every other Monday. For the big stuff, I do the research and then give him a few options.

    Every meeting we go through a checklist of things to do. He takes certain things on that he wants (wedding website, hotel block, music/entertainment, picking out songs). If things come up between then we talk about it, otherwise we limit wedding talk to that specific time so we don’t get overloaded or lose our relationship to the wedding.

    My fiancé is involved and has an opinion on everything besides my dress and my bridesmaids dresses. It’s our wedding, not just mine. He’s happy to be involved and wants to plan this with me.

    Basically my fiance is excited too however i ran everything by him to make sure he was okay with it. After a while he said, hey i don't care too much about the details. So for small things i didn't bother cause i didnt want to irritate and overwhelm him. As far as cake, i ask him if he likes it but he really doesnt care. Venue i did all the research and then narrowed it down to 3 and took him to give his opinion. I went with the one he liked most. That has been his biggest part. I booked my vendors by myself he didn't care as long as i thought they were cool he was fine. Flowers he had an opinion on "girly colors" lol however on the day of he isn't going to care what they look like. His focus was his side of the guest list, picking his groomsmen and finding his apparel. Since we decided to push our date back to 2019 he has more time to do all this cause he was slacking lol

    ETA: Venue location he didnt care and our initial date we both decided together. Our new date i went over our options and he said it was my call. Still not sure if our wedding will be March or May. We really wanted warm weather. He also chose navy as one of our colors.

    My fiance life's to be apart of the planning, of course some things are more exciting than others but he always helps. OP maybe narrowing things down to just a couple options and letting him choose from those or only talking through one topic at a time rather than having long drawn out conversations will help you both.

    It is both of your wedding. He should be planning it too. I've said it before and I'll say it again- it's extremely selfish to just expect a wedding to be planned for you and to just show up. Hello, emotional labour.

    My fiancé is involved in nearly every decision unless we’ve established that he doesn’t have an opinion on something (like the color of the linens). However since he was most excited about it when we started planning our wedding, I have mostly delegated cake to him. It’a actually been really hard not to take it over! but he seems to really enjoy having that responsibility.

    It's his wedding too, of course, he should be involved! FH helps to make all of the decisions, I highly value his opinion and he is very involved. We decide everything together from the venue, catering, date colors, etc. right down to the details of the centerpieces, table linens and, flowers. Since I'm crafty I'm putting together our DIY projects and since music is more FH's thing he is researching our music selections. The only thing I purchased without his input was my dress and even then I ran some pictures by him and asked his opinions.

    I started talking to my FH about the music and he freaked LOL. He just said all he knows is classic rock so he will not be apart of that or we’d be dancing to pinball wizard by The Who. He is helping with the cake LOL what a shocker

    My FH and I are a pretty equal team and we value each other's opinions. Since this is OUR wedding, we've made all decisions together except for my dress so he can be surprised

    My fiancé is apart of every big decision I make- however I make it pretty cut and dry. My FH only cares about marrying me so details bore him. He doesn’t care about flowers or cakes (we both aren’t cake people) or decorations- so I don’t ask him about any of that, although he sees everything, and tells me he likes it 😂 he is in charge of the grooms men’s outfits and that’s about it.

    Lol sounds like my husband. He just say yes & agree with everything. Yes I think it's good to get the husband input on everything. My husband helped with everything but my bridal squad dresses.

    You make a really valid point. I get involving him in everything. But some stuff should be left to the bride. It's never planned for just one person though. He is very involved, but what is it that you are doing where your not beating down his neck. For instance, the flower colors, or the dish color.
