FH doesn't want to take E-pics *UPDATE!*

I have posted before about how he doesn't even want to wear a ring. I can understan that, he hates jewelry and his job is sort of physical and he doesn't want to lose it or scratch it. But, I just told him that all I want is just ONE pic , and he said no.

Does anyone else's FH fight them this much? Are they really that freaking macho and can't suck it up for this one time in their lives??? Or did I get stuck with the only one who is too 'cool' to do something like that for his FB.


UPDATE: This actually turned out to be a huge argument last night between us. HE slammed the door and everything lol

Finally this morning I am trying to explain to him that he can do whatever he wants. We can have a fun shoot where he wears his 'Phuck Philly' t-shirt and is beating up the Philly Phanatic or something. And NOW after all this arguing he goes 'oh...that would be cool.'

It doesn't have to be traditional candlelights and roses type of stuff. I am just happy to say that 'I won' lol

I WON, I WON, I WON , I WON !!! wooo. It feels good to win lol

aww... sorry to hear that. My FH also hates jewelry and he was nervous as well about scratching or breaking it at work, but for some reason he was absolutely excited about getting his wedding band. That's mostly because we got him one that's 'cool'. Rather than a regular lookin' gold or silver one, we got him a titanium black and he adores it

As for the E-Pics... yeah, he was a little hesitant, but he ****** it up for that one day. He knew how important it was to me (even when I told him that he couldn't wear his usual baseball cap. lol) Later on when his family saw the pics they kept asking me HOW i got him to sit and pose for all them. I told them that I'm just VERY persuasive

So my only advice is that maybe you could just explain to him how important these pictures are to you. If he's not comfortable dressing up, then do it casual. Nothing's wrong with that!! And instead of a TON, just have a few chosen. Maybe even discuss the poses ahead of time, so he's sure that he'll comfortable with 'em all. That's what I did.

my dh thought he'd be uncomfortable in front of the camera but he still did it. Once we started he loved it though and we had alot of fun taking the pics. Talk to him nicely and tell him once in a while he needs to sacrifice and do things you want. Show him how much it means to you.

I didnt know how thrilled dh would be with wearing his band since he doesnt wear jewelry. But we got one that was his style and different than the typical band and he loves it now. I thought he wouldnt wear it to work bc his job is very hands on but even to work he wears it most of the time. Just let him pick something that suits his style.

lol I just read what you said, and I tried to pursuade him by saying 'what if you could wear whatever you wanted, your Mets jersey and your hat, whatever you wanted!?' and he said 'no.'

*sigh* I guess it's just a lost cause.

We don't even have any pics of us except for what is in my album lol and those are like 3 years old haha I just want a nice freaking pic. I guess I will just have to cherish the wedding pics haha B/c there will never be any other nice pics of the 2 of us together!!! Unless we are in Shea *'scuse me* Citi Field, with Metallica playing and strippers dancing around us lol Maybe then he wont mind.

My FH originally said no to a ring but then seems to have changed his mind. You can always get a REALLY think band for him so he won't notice it as much. My dad basically has a chicken wire band. The only thing is if your FH works with machinery or anything with moving parts, he shouldn't wear one while he's working.

Maybe show him so E-pics from here and maybe that'll inspire him to want them too! I didn't originally want them but since they came with our package, I looked at the pics here and they all look so FUN!

Give him time...it's still early and he may change his mind in the next year. Epics can usually be scheduled any time so there's no rush.

I am in the same situation. My FH doesn;t want anything to do with e pics. I have the appt back in April and he made me cancel it. Now it is getting closer to the wedding and he still wont do it. I am getting frustrated!!!

---

I just think he is afraid to look like a 'Biotch'. He can freaking shed a tear in front of all of his buddies at the last day at Shea. Yet, he wont just suck it up and do this one thing lol what a P-U-S...ahh you get it haha


He says he wants to get a band tattooed on his finger. I told him that is fine, that is more permanent than a ring anyway lol I think he is stuck with this mindset of being a cool guy, and macho and doesn't want anyone to think he is the 'P' word.

there are ways to be posed where he doesnt have to be like that lol. Show him e-pics that dont look like that, i guess show him more of a photojournalistic style. DOes he realize that for the wedding day there are pics haha and he'll have to get over this.

Yes, I said to him just now 'you do realize at the wedding we will have to take pics right?' he goes ', I am not that stupid' lol

Apparently you freaking are. B/c this is apart of what goes with weding stuff.

Maybe I will have to do the girly thing and cry for him. He hates when I cry and hates to see me upset, so maybe I will use that this one time hahaha

My FH refused also....but when we finally booked photographer & they said they would do it FREE he is now interested.
We just haven't been able to coordinate schedules to be off on same days during week.

FH was a little hestitant about the pics just because he's a shy person in general, but once he realized how much it meant to me, he caved and agreed that it'd be fun to do and great to have.

Some guys are just hard to crack though, their big macho personality and all lol

ha! My FH wants to do that too. But it'll be UNDER the actual wedding band. He just wanted something more permanent as well. I was considering getting the same thing done. I'm thinkin' bout it. lol. Maybe.

I always liked the idea of that as well. But , due to the job that I have, we obviosly can't have any type of tattoos showing. and even though its a 'wedding band' its still a tattoo. :(

Stupid society! lol

FH doesn't want to take E-pics but not because he doesn't want to take photos - he just doesn't see the need for them.

I really wanna have them and told him it would be nice for the table Numbers... that changed his mind.

He is totally excited to wear a ring it cracks me up... he found this plastic ring somewhere the other day and I have caught him wearing it to work and around the house... omg... he's so cute!

My FH is totally opposed to E-pics. He thinks its just another thing created by the wedding industry to make money...

most photographers dont charge for this and its free, so not really.

for my sisters wedding, they actually both didnt want to take e-pics. They happened to be on a cruise and took one of the pictures at their formal night... they used that photo as their e-pic. Happened to come out really really good, and at that point i suppose you only need one. Maybe instead of some of the corny ones on the beach and things like that you can just go into the studio and take a posed picture like a family might do at christmas time? Maybe that will get him to do it??

crying always works too hahahaha good luck!

My FH can't wear a ring to work. He's in a union and works with a lot of machines. After the wedding we are both getting a band tattooed on our finger.

My FH is a ham for a camera so he's going to love the e-photos!! haha.

Try to get him to take the photos!!!!!
