I love my fiance. But I don't like it when he doesn't listen. Its annoying when he doesn't listen to me. But when he doesn't listen to himself? Oh. My. Gawd.
Proper etiquette tells us that any guest over 18 should receive their own invitation to our wedding... common sense tells us that 1) sending 4 invites to the same house is a little excessive 2) an 18 year old male doesn't really care about a wedding invitation. So I asked my fiance what he thought we should do as this is his immediate family. He decided sending one to his grandma at that address, and one to his parents to cover everyone else would be fine. [If this is where the etiquette police decide to attack, I don't need you.] So we decide to hand deliver these invites to his mom and grandma. They live a couple blocks away and we were already headed over there.
We go over, drop them off, and an hour later, he asks me if we have separate invitations for two of his siblings. ARE YOU KIDDINF ME?!? YOU were the one who decided this was the way you wanted to do things. And now you're questioning why I went along with you!?! I was so mad.He has NO recollection of choosing white shirts for going under suits. (I didnt choose them. I dont like white and would prefer black.)He has NO recollection of the invitation discussion.Today I sent him a screenshot of an email I got from the photobooth people. Asking what our colors, theme, and wording we want on our photo strips. I wanted his input. Obviously our colors are chosen. He joked that our theme is "things we like" the other day. So I was curious if i should tell them that to try to get some of the stuff incorporated or not. And I wanted to know if he had anything else he wanted other than just our names and date. He asked if they had samples. So I sent him samples. Instead of answering the questions, he just picked out 3 of the samples. No! Help me answer the questions. The questions I sent you before I sent you samples. If they're going to design something for us, let them design something. Then if we don't like it, we can choose something already made and have then tweak it for us.He wants to be involved. And I let him be involved. But somehow he just manages to forget everything we talk about, or ignore what I actually want him to do. And just does whatever he wants.And then the tasks I do give him, he doesn't complete. I asked him to pick music 8 months ago, and I'm going to start nagging him about it in 3 weeks.
Being the groom must be great. Because if something goes wrong, it's the bride's fault. Even if it's the groom's fault. Because the groom doesn't remember screwing things up. 🤦♀️
