My Fiancé surprising me with Reception

Mary, on September 13, 2020 at 1:12 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 14
Rob and I have been engaged for over a year and of course COVID did make wedding planning a pain in the ass to the point I wanted to just give up. I am the worse at making decisions- I change my mind all the time and just can’t deal with the pressure of deciding things especially our wedding. With that being said, I told Rob (fiancè) that I would be perfectly happy if he just took over the reception planning and surprised me with it (we are planning an intimate wedding of only 60 guests out here in AZ). We both have that same thought of doing something in traditional and have it somewhere like a rooftop bar or restaurant. So I’m excited to see what he ends up finding and deciding on! Would any of you let your significant other surprise you with your reception?!

    Sometimes I would love to hand the planning over to my fiance, but he's not much of a planner. Plus I'm somewhat of a control freak so the worry would stress me out more then the planning itself lol.

    I was surprised (we’ll sorta) that Rob was such a planner. He has better ideas then me so I’m surprisingly calm about it!! My sisters were very much controlling when it came to their weddings and I thought I would be too! Funny how things workout!

    It really is. He said he had a dream that he surprised me with the wedding so it pretty much falls in suit with that which is so sweet.

    You’re not alone. My fiancé is not a planner and does not like to make decisions. He basically told me he would play a game of darts to make decisions. 🙄 That also explains why he hasn’t chosen his wedding band ... he wants to look at EVERYTHING that is available before making a decision. Lol!!

    That sounds wonderful!

    DH is not a planner, and I'm ... not easily surprised. (I've spoiled my own surprise party, figured out gifts weeks ahead of time... I'm not really fair.)

    I hope it's fantastic!

    Why not? About half the women I know planned their entire wedding and reception , and their guy got measured for his suit and showed up. So clearly one person can do it🙃
    And I just love sitting back and letting a guy pick up all the work and responsibility sometimes. My FI / hubby did more than most guys I know of, with no prompting, but unfortunately most things he voluntarily picked up to do, he had to come to me to find out what to do. Or his mom. And was sweet enough to say, at some point, that 10 years after considering himself to be a grown man, independent of family, he was surprised to find to what degree he went from his mom taking care of most things, to me doing it. So applaud your man for doing this.

    That is awesome! I personally am a control freak so that would probably kill me LOL.

    My sisters definitely at first we’re sure that I would have a hard time with it because I’m a bit controlling myself but ever since we made this decision I’ve had no stress or anxiety o we the wedding so I’m so thankful!
