Compromising is Key!

I was wondering if there were any couples out there with struggling to come to a compromise about details related to the wedding? My partner and I continue to have difficulty agreeing on two things, our rings and buying drink tickets for all of our guests. I have tried to explain my thoughts, but theses seem to be two topics that are not negotiable with my partner. Any suggestions?

    I would cut the souvenir shot glasses. Most people don’t care about favors and would rather have the alcohol the night of the wedding. The favors get buried in the back of the closet and never used and this is money in your budget for your bar.

    Sorry you have such a hard time compromising. This is both our second marriages but the first time I eloped and he had a wedding so he let me take the lead. Our rings are two totally different styles because I honestly didn't care what he picked out. He has a lot of good ideas for when I get stuck or frustrated with something.

    I agree with the others, pick out your own rings and cut the souvenir glasses and shot and pay for beer and wine for everyone instead! Smiley smile

    Jennifer, thanks for the advice. We both agreed to cut out the shot glasses and get drink tickets for our guests. As for our rings we are still gonna look for one style we both love, if we can not find one then we may get different rings.


    Thanks to everyone for your feedback!

    Yes it is difficult to find the compromise with all the different things you have to plan and decide on. What I have done that has helped is give him tasks for him to do and let him have control over it and I just have to realize it is both of our days and not just mine. Also we get so caught up in trying to make it perfect and we forget to enjoy this time because it only comes once in our life (sometimes) lol

    My FH is very understanding, but there are a few things we have had to talk about a lot. Usually, we just lay out exactly what we are thinking so the other person can understand, and if we don't agree still we do a little bit of both as a compromise.

    That’s awesome Oliva! That seems to be the key in compromising. I think there will always be disagreements for sure.
