    I am definitely the planner. FH doesn't like to plan things a week in advance, let alone a year, and he could care less about all the detail things like flowers, decorations, invitations, etc. He is, however, very decisive (which I am not), so I go to him when I need a final decision after I've narrowed options down.

    I am doing more of the planning. He and I are discussing the big things (like venue, catering, etc.), but all the small stuff (like decor) is mainly me.

    Actually, FH is the better planner. He works in events, so he's great at knowing what he wants and how to contact the right people for it. He the point person to almost all of our vendors. We've made almost all the decisions together, but he's the one that goes for it with the vendors. We actually met with our vendor yesterday and they were like "It's so nice to have a groom involved. Most of the time, if we have questions, we contact the bride. We know to contact you, FH, instead." And that 100% works for me!

    75% me I must say he has been on top of things when it comes to our venue. I just need him to stick with our budget.

    Me! I have a binder in which I have written all the junk down that I think needs done before October. The only time he gets involved is when he's stressing me out to get certain big things done before I'm ready 😂 love him though 😘

    I am a better planner but he has been involved in pretty much every part of the planning. We have both contributed financially. Sometimes I think he is more excited than me. Lols.

    Me! He wants to be involved in major decisions but leaves a lot of the little things to me. He is even letting me design his groomsmen proposals, lol. I'm trying to make them more manly so it's not obvious I did them.

    Absolutely me, lol. I am a huge organization freak, so I am constantly making lists - budget breakdowns, guest accommodations, food/drink options, you name it. If it's something to do with our wedding, you can bet I have a huge detailed list typed up about it. My fiance is more hands-off. He is a wonderful help to me and we have plenty of discussions about details; it's not just me doing everything. But he lets me do most of the time-consuming detailed planning because it's what I like to do and he just gets overwhelmed with it.

    Definitely me. I don't like planning things either, but if I didn't take charge, nothing would ever get done. He does help out though when I need the help.

    I am. I keep the lists, spreadsheet, and keep records of all phone calls made pertaining to the wedding. I was a secretary for over 10 years so old habits die hard. Smiley catface

    Me. I'm literally an event planner. This stuff is second nature to me.

    I am 99% the planner! I ask for his opinions and he gives them, but that is about it.

    I am the planner because I like doing new things. He does too but doesn't think about it unless someone suggests it.
