How has/did wedding planning affected your relationship?

Closer. It has let me know that even if I act like a lunatic, he still loves me.

Oh gosh. We really saw the worst in each other.

We are the same as usual. FH is very involved but it like a regular conversation on a day to day basis.

Closer we are both even more excited

Definitely closer. What's caused us to argue are home renovations. Those are more stressful IMO. We're more laid back when it comes to the wedding details, but not when it comes to our house design projects.

It really hasn't. Neither of us are high strung about it though, we both know that things are all going to be beautiful and a reflection of us as a couple and as individuals, so there's no reason for it to really have any impact on our relationship.

Wedding stuff doesn't really cause us to argue. Now I do think I'm so stressed and some anxiety is bringing out the worst attitude in me personally. So my bad attitude mixed with work and then his bad days mixed in the loop bring out the worst in us but we always work it out. To be honest we haven't been any different if anything we have grown closer together but I don't believe it has anything to do with the wedding. Wedding is just stressing me out I need the planning portion to end my moods are just terrible right now.

So much closer! Some family members have been driving me crazy, but my FH is so supportive. He also helps to make decisions when I am being really indecisive, which I very much appreciate.

No real change.

We fought, a lot more during wedding planning (2years) than we we normally ever did.

It was mostly because he really didn't want a wedding and was really only having one because I did. So for him every expense was not necessary.

H is by nature already a lot more even tempered than I am. So he is really good about talking me off the ledge when I get hott (which can happen quickly). Wedding planning was no exception to it, but most of our flights we're a result of outside parties putting pressure on us {Me}, he really pulled through and in the end always had my back with decisions being made and it showed me that we really are a team... and a pretty damn good one!

If I'm 100% honest, H paid for majority of our wedding & honeymoon, he did a lot of OT! So another thing I learned about us {Him} is, that man will do absolutely anything to make me happy & support my dreams even if they aren't the same as him dreams & not what he wants.

In the last 6 months of planning i think he started to get excited about the wedding and now says all the time how happy he is that we had our wedding and that it was the best day of his life. So it was all worth it in the end

We fought like crazy when we were planning our big wedding. He didn't want it as big as it was going to be (I was bracing for the offense that would be taken since it was so small) and he didn't want to have it in my hometown. It was a constant source of stress until I talked to his dad about it and he had a conversation with DH. FIL told him to back of let me plan; his job was to support me and show up. That was really nice of FIL. It all didn't matter, but DH hated the planning process and he hated that our ideas were so different.

We ended up married.

(not sure why it would have any negative effect unless you are negative people or have toxic people in your life. Or Jades case, where you both have different opinions on what you want the wedding to be)

No real change at all. If anything maybe a bit closer. As we get closer to the wedding date we realize this is really happening and it's made him even more mushy. Love it! We both compromise on aspects of the wedding planning to ensure it reflects both of our wants and isn't one-sided. He does not care about certain aspects of the wedding so I ask him once, get "It really doesn't matter to me", and then move on with my decision. It's working just fine so far.

Nothing has really changed. We feel like we are basically married anyway. We do get into little disagreements but we both just compromise. I have to remember its his wedding too

Not much change... we have cuter nicknames for each other now. Fiancoudin being one of them (little Greek twist on fiancé/fiancée).

We love each other enough to compromise on what each of us wants, and to talk things out if we disagree with the planning. And we always run ideas by each other. We've had some minor arguments over details but those were due to financial worries and not wanting to accept quite so much help from our parents, but we tend to have a good balance of one calming the other down.

DH thought I was a bit consumed with the planning. He just didn't understand that there was a lot to do in 5.5 months. He would help with decisions that were "this or that" but didn't help with any DIY. It made him a bit cranky to talk about even though I handled the bulk of the planning. On thee day of our wedding, he loved everything and was so proud of me and how beautiful our day was.

It's affecting our bank account more than anything else.

I mean we both are excited to be married, but think it's a PITA to plan a wedding. We agree on that.

It doesn't affect our relationship. Sometimes we think about what else we could've done with all that money but that's it.

He knows that this is the process we're going through to be married. Obviously that's our goal. He did mention the other day that he's just ready to be married so we can move on with our lives.

It hasn't really effected us we are already super close. He has put in a lot more help and suggestions then I thought he would so that has been great. He has also expressed to me how he wants my wedding to be the day of my dreams. I am really excited to know the day is just as important to him
