I'm at a little over 106 days until we get married. I have been doing all the planning. My MOH has been great with things. My bridesmaids are out of town but have offered help and just started delegating some things but I never really expected much of their help. My fiancé has great intentions but he just sucks. I am firm and give him reminders without nagging but he's just so casual about it. I'll ask him for names from his side and for example - someone just got remarried, he just told me to use her old name. Stuff like that is important to me. I know names seem so small but they're HUGE and it's such a pet-peeve of mine when people are so careless. Then he acts like it's such a hard job to do when this whole time, I've been dong this the past few days:
- writing, adding information on our wedding website, including pictures from our engagement shoot
- finalizing the guest list and having to re-upload on another spreadsheet, to get Minted's recipient address
- negotiating with hotels and reading proposals
- emailing ceremony music and DJ
- re-negotiating with the videographer
- contacting my old church to get my baptism certificate (and it's been taking a while for them to respond back. Phone tag is real)
- registries and items
Each time I tell him I need his help, he is so open and receptive and tells me he is more than willing to help. When we do get together, we don't do it or he falls asleep. I feel like I need to be a drill sergeant to get his a-- in order. I went to this yoga retreat this weekend and gave him specific instructions. He wanted to invite his college friends and I told him to text them ASAP, in the morning, that way I can get their addresses, add it, and then upload it and order it. This is what happened: he texted them at 7PM. 10:00PM he's at a movie with his friend and told me he would send the addresses during previews. NOTHING. I need to order the invitations now or else it delays sending our invitations. We can't wait anymore bc we've been stalling for weeks to do them.
On top of that, I'm in the middle of job searching. I graduated from grad school and have also been working and meeting with recruiters, revising my resume, re-doing my linkedIn, getting advice with advisors, networking...
