Anyone elses FH claim they do nothing because they feel that we want to do everything?

When I asked my FH the other day if he is going to help with any part of the wedding, his answer to me was, I don't do anything because I know you want to do it all. I was so mad. I would like some help in all this planning!

LOL - cute thread... my FH has been pretty good, but every once in a while he'll come out with 'well I don't offer my suggestions or thoughts because I know you LIKE to do it' he's cute!

My FH did all of the honeymoon planning. I like to get his opinions about other stuff, but he jokes around and says 'all he has to do is show up!'

FH helps when I ask...but I don't ask often. I gave him three jobs to do...

Groomsmen Gifts...DONE!

Baby pictures...DONE!

A Song for him and his Mom to dance to...DONE!

He helped me put together the invites (I double checked them all when he wasn't looking... )

I've enjoyed doing the other stuff on my own. I'm the type that won't be happy unless I do it myself. I think I may have gotten OCD through this whole process!!!

Kelly,

You are lucky.

I have been engaged since September, getting married in November and FH still has not decided on his wedding party!


I just recently sent out save the date magnets and he must think that they were addressed, sealed, stamped and sent all by themselves.

My FH told me in the beginning (well, actually yelled at me after overhearing me on the phone w/ my MOH) that I needed to make it my business to include him because he wants to be involved in all the decisions. He doesn't like when people say its 'my' wedding. He's so cute, but it's actually a serious effort for me to remember to discuss things with him because I'm used to doing my own thing!

I have my FI one job to do...set up the transportation to/from the airport for our honeymoon. I figured it was something easy because he wanted to be involved. Well let me tell you that we've had HOURS of discussions of him asking me what is best, what time, etc. because he can't make a decision, so I ended up doing it myself. So I told him to just sit there and look handsome for the next month and I'll do the rest. Less stress for me lol.

OF COURSE! I gave up and he is doing the things he wants to do and I act presently surprised!

Jodi...don't worry sweetie!!! You have time. My FH just recently got asked to be in his cousins wedding and it's in August. Tuxes can really be done any time so don't get stressed.

Fh does pretty much nothing.

He is in charge of booking the wedding night, GM gifts, music .

Other than that, I do everything else.

I must say, my FI has been wonderful. He has helped me make all the decisions on everything from vendors to BP gifts.

i'm going to give fh a couple of things to do, but mostly i would really like to some things on my own, that way i don't have the added stress. i'll make him book the honeymoon, pick out his attendant gifts, pick a song for him and his mom to dance to, and come and pick out the hall with me, but everything else i'll do myself.

My FH actually told me to do everything. However, everytime I show him something I did or will do he has to have a say. All of a sudden he wants to put in his two cents. I say TOO LATE you told me I could plan it all and have everything I want. Na Na Na NA NA!!!!

There were two things he wanted to do for the wedding, first he picked out the limos and second he wants to help pick out the menu.
