ETA: mine is sort of involved. He doesn't want to do any research so he left meto pick the vendors I wanted to look at and he'd look at them with me. At the hall thought of course he asked 1000 stupid questions about the food, etc...I wanted to hit him..LOL

Re: How involved is FH in the planning process?
i would say im planning most of the wedding. fw just has the girly parts to worry about.
we both made decisions on vendors... (all my vendors came from LIW)... she rarley comes here to research stuff.
we are both making our favors from stratch.
somtimes i think i did too much and she is missing out on this fun stuff

Re: How involved is FH in the planning process?
He is totally involved. What we decided to do is split up the responsibilities. I like to do research so, I look a bunch of stuff up and send it to him in an email to look it over. Then we discuss the list and narrow it down to a few choices. It is his job to call and make all the appointments. We go to every appointment together. So far this has worked really well for us.

Re: How involved is FH in the planning process?
He was very involved with the major stuff- like photographer, videographer, band, flowers, reception and church. But with all the little things- well the invites in particular, I have to stay on him about getting addresses and the final list from his parent's. He is busy at work but so am I. I can't take care of everything. It seems like if I don't bring it up he won't either.

Re: How involved is FH in the planning process?
He's not really all that involved, and it doesnt bother me one bit. I like getting to pick the vendors I want to use and him just being ok with everything! The only thing he cared a LOT abt was the band, and it worked out cuz we both totally agreed on that one. And oh yeah - hes very into going back to register for some things HE wants now. Thats getting me a little nervous! I totally saw him eyeing up a keg machine at Fortunoffs.......

FH is really into it and enjoys helping me out. He's obviously not as crazy as I am with it, but he loves giving his input on things.

I get so frustrated, FH isn't involved at all. His primary involvement is complaining that he has to pay for the wedding. He says paying is involvement.
I asked him to take care of the honeymoon, which he hasn't done a thing for except send me to the travel agent to get more info.
He's driving me crazy!
Don't worry Laura, it must be a USMMA bride thing. My FH told me giving me his share of the money is all he has to do. OH and that figure is fixed regardless of how much things cost. I guess I have to come up with the extra, huh???? Is this only my wedding?????

Re: How involved is FH in the planning process?
Well, as he says, he is involved by working 70 hour weeks to pay for the wedding No, but honestly, when we first started to plan, someone on here had a great idea, ask him what he wants to be involved in and what he could care less about. So I did that and all the things he was really into, he gave a lot of input on and some things he just nodded to when I gave him a choice. But he ALWAYS went to appointments with me. The only thing he wasn't there for, ironically, was for videography. The ONE thing he knows the most about. Anyway, he's about as involved as I would like him to be without being up my a$$

Re: How involved is FH in the planning process?
Totally involved.... I loved it.. until TONIGHT.. we went to look at limos and totally disagreed on them... the one he wants its ugly and the front looks like a mad shark!! We got into a huge fight about it but I gave in and told him he can have whatever he wants. I am getting my way with everything else, the least I could do is let him have some say!!

Re: How involved is FH in the planning process?
In the beginning my FH was like it doesn't matter to me, then when we went to our first hall he had to ask a million and one questions and then we had to visit about another 15 halls and he didn't like any of them. He finally gave in and realized that this whole hall thing in really not gonna matter to him in the end. He has gone to the other appointments with me. We've realized with choosing the hall we have completly different taste, it's easier if he lets me make the decisions. I keep telling him don't worry you will have a beautiful wedding. TRUST ME. US GIRLS KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING.

Re: How involved is FH in the planning process?
I am so happy with my FH..Ladies let's put it this way...he was sooo excited when he found out that he is also able to post things on here! Sometimes I think he's on here more than I am.. I soooo get yelled at whenever we don't have appointments with vendors on the weekends... I LOVE MY FH!

He's tooooooo involved...He has problems with EVERYTHING including the color of the bridesmaid dresses!!!! I love the fact that he has an opinion, thats one of hte reasons I'm marrying him, stimulates our relationship that way..but in this case, I wish he didn't have such a strong one!!!!
