Re: Anyone's Fiance not helping out?
FH is helping out but I guess not up to my schedule I want to get things done where he is more laid back w/ a 'it will eventually get done' attitude. I guess thats why i'm on this board looking for so much advice!

Re: Anyone's Fiance not helping out?
I pretty much do the leg work and then go to him with his opinions. He went with me to look at halls, we will book the big things together.All the little things I will be doing on my own.
I really do not mind though.

Re: Anyone's Fiance not helping out?
DaniRN...What is your 'idea' of what your FI should do. Is your schedule maybe too jammed packed with trying to get everything done at once? What do you think. I bet you arent getting along because you feel all this pressure. Im the same way....

Re: Anyone's Fiance not helping out?
Mine isn't helping out either. I knew it from the beginning and it took me awhile to get used to the fact that he wouldn't come to look at vendors with me. I have to admit, I am having a wonderful time going with my mom and his mom and some of my girls.
I just fill him in on the details and he's cool with that.

Re: Anyone's Fiance not helping out?
I definitely learned to give him things to do... He was in charge of the honeymoon... He was in charge of the wedding night hotel (still not booked, ugh)... He came to look at the hall, rehearsal dinner, and other vendors I did and reported back. We had MANY fights regarding prices, but I learned the hard way to just give him a price and not break everything down for him. It was easier for him to swallow that way. I also compared our vendor prices to others, and when he heard what others charge, he felt much better!
My poor FHs problem is that everything he has suggested I try my hardest not to criticize, but sometimes can't help it...although what he has suggested has been minimal. He's a great guy, but this wedding planning stuff just isn't 'him'. Gotta love him though! He's a cutie patootie - and at this point, just show up at the altar and I'll be a happy gal!

Re: Anyone's Fiance not helping out?
David thought that since we were not getting married for a year and a half that he could relax. I tried to tell him that places in New York book up a year in advance, but he did not care. Anytime I asked a question or wanted him to look at something he would get frustrated. He just wanted to enjoy being engaged ( which is sweet ). Finally I told him that he did not have to help. I would plan this wedding myself and if I messed it up I would get my next one right Now he is extremly helpful

Re: Anyone's Fiance not helping out?
My FH isn't helping out too much cause he lives in another state and the wedding is here in NY.
I was just talking about it with someone and I mentioned that all he has to do is show up and I will give him the most beautiful wedding there ever was.
