Fiance's who want to plan!

Kelly, on May 29, 2019 at 9:30 AM Posted in Planning 0 11
We always hear about grooms who don't want to help plan, so let's mix it up! Who's groom is involved with planning, and what mattered most to him?

Mine picked the colors, he wanted a purple wedding with a floral theme.

    Mine only wanted to be involved in picking the venue and the food. I gave him a couple dates and he picked one. We both researched venues and then set up tours and we both ended up falling in love with the one venue we had in common on both of our lists and he walked into the place saying " this is it honey, this is where we are getting married! Sign the paperwork and give this lady her money!" Smiley xd Smiley xd Smiley xd Then after that all he really cared about was the food. But I always ask his opinion on things.

    I am lucky. Mine wants to be involved and help with everything. And has even offered to make some of the DIY stuff when we get to that point. I figure it's our day not just mine so I love he wants to be involved.

    Mine is with some aspects! He went on venue tours, catering tastings, and dessert tastings. So he helped pick all 3 of those. He helped with the guest list, he picked his groomsmen, helped pick their suit, picked their proposal boxes, and helped pick our honeymoon destination. He stamped & addressed save the dates & invites with me!

    Hi ! My fiance is also very involved. He came with me to all bridal expos I wanted to go to. He helped pick out vendors and gives me his opinions on what he thinks about them etc. The design part though he is staying out of(really just the colors) but I want him to help me decide on what flowers, centerpieces, etc. He is actually more involved than I see other guys can be. It is nice for me. I love when he tells me the honest truth too lol

    My husband was involved in everything! There wasn't a single decision I made without him. The venue, the food, and the vendors mattered the most to him. He can't stand certain kinds of people and obviously wanted to be comfortable on his wedding day so his opinion on the vendors was big. He also found picking food exciting and doesn't understand how other grooms wouldn't want to be involved in that.

    My FH has been involved with all the major things. He doesn't really care about little details, but we booked all our vendors together, went on all the meetings together, food tasting, cake tasting, guest list, etc.

    Mine is involved with everything! He has opinions about flowers, photos, colors, and invitations. I thought I would have to drag him to go registry shopping but to my surprise he loves it so much he wants to go back and register for more stuff. I have to be the one to reign him in on everything. I feel bad because he is so excited.Smiley heart

    Oh my fiance is obessed with our Amazon registry. He's giving it out to people already 😂
    Food and music are important to him. He likes watching me do the invitations and decor but isn't into DIY so he doesn't feel comfortable doing those.
    He's got strong feelings about the groomsmen ties too.

    My FH only cares about the music and the food!! He helped me pick our DJ, and now he's diligently working on the song list that we'll give him. FH also can't stop talking about the food. Our venue has their various catering menus online, and options for appetizers, drinks, etc. So, FH keeps going on there and planning (and re-planning) what food he wants. LOL, so funny to watch him, because he gets this really serious look on his face, as if he's planning world financial domination or something!!!

    Mine is too involved! Haha. So much that it's actually making it seem like his wedding, not ours. Either I give in to whatever he wants or we disagree on it so much that we have to quit talking about it. We actually had to not talk about the wedding all month of May because it was too stressful on us.

    The important thing to him is everything has to be formal, not my version of formal, but his. Wedding planning has been more rough than I expected (because I expected to plan most and just ask his opinion), but hopefully he will learn to compromise, not be so stubborn, and make it our wedding and back off some. I'm also hoping pre-marital counseling will help as well.
