My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
is a waste of money. He says that we could buy a car for that amount of money and that he thinks an extravagent wedding is a waste. I am so upset right now, I don't know what to do.

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
Im so sorry hon. Sometimes men say the most inappropriate things. I dont think he meant to say it to hurt your feelings, but I would have a talk with him tonight.

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
Oh, I'm sorry but yea, men sometimes seem to have that "take" on the wedding. Some men see the stress and the amount of time that goes into it and want to try to "fix" the problem. Their idea may be true but its true, if its important to YOU then trust me, when he sees the final product on the day of the wedding, it'll all be worth it

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
I am so sorry. My FH says the same thing from time to time and yes it is a huge expense BUT it is your wedding and you decided/have to decide together where the money is best put. It is upsetting though.

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
Men don't understand that some of us have dreamed about our weddings since we were little. Don't let him get you down. I'm sure by the time he sees it all come together he'll be changing his tune. Hang in there.

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
Men don't have a clue. Most women have been planning their wedding since they were 5. It is because we know it is our big chance to literally be a princess and marry our prince charming. Guys just don't think that way. Don't worry - my FI said something similar to me in the beginning, be he has since come around. Chin up.

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
I sometimes think that our wedding is a waste of money. When I think of all the other things we could do with the money, it's hard not to think that. FH and I talk about how we could have a house instead....But at the same time I really want the big fancy wedding which is why we're doing it!
I wouldn't let what he said get you down too much.

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
most men think that, either about the wedding or a nice ring. And I think at time us girls thing that way, too. I wouldn't let it get you down unless it keeps up this way. Maybe it is just a phase right now or he is getting worried about finances. if you think it is a finance thing, I would talk to him about it. maybe there is something the 2 of you could spend alittle less on and it would make him feel better. Or maybe he just needs to talk.

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
Nicole - Actually I was the only thinking along the same lines of your FI. I am so glad I did my wedding. It was a perfect compromise of what we both wanted and I wouldn't change a thing. I'll talk to your FI and straighten him out for ya!

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
ignore him. 
FH and i both felt that way, But we both wanted it. There were so many times along this "journey" that we were like "what the he!l are we doing this for".... and seriously, FH turned around today (and actually said it in front of the mgr at the Westbury manor) (he usually doesnt talk in front of other people) and said "up until just the other day, i really thought that we were just planning a big party... but all of a sudden, i see how important this day is"
men are just 'logical' when it comes to money. FH is very sensitive, but w/ him it still comes down to the dollars... But trust me... when that day comes, he wont have any regrets... its hard to see the forest from the trees

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
Thank you girls soo much for your thoughts. We talked things out and he said he was sorry (after much stomping around from me!!!). He said as long as the wedding is what I really want then it isn't a waste of money.

Re: My FH just told me he thinks the wedding...
Sometimes I feel frustrated and start thinking like that...but then I think of the meaning of the whole day...family, committment, love, sharing...and to quote the commercial..."priceless!"
