How involved is FH with wedding planning???

I'm curious to know how much everyone's FH is doing. Mine is involved in every decision concerning the wedding down to the BM dresses. The only thing he didn't want to help pick was my gown. I'm not allowed to do anything without him. He's to freaking cute sometimes. He's actually the one who picked out the BM dresses.

The only things he was not involved in were my gown and the BMs gowns, other than that, he has been involved every step of the way, which I love!

Mine is right there with yours. I also LOVE that he is so involved.

Oh god, sometimes I forget I have one!!! He wants nothing to do with the planning process. He said, all he wants in an invitation. Otherwise pretty much everything is up to me!!! Its kinda nice, but there are some things I would like some input/help with. Oh well....

He's been very involved except for my dress and the bridesmaids dresses. He even got upset when me and my mom went looking at halls without him when he was away for a weekend. He's been so helpful, it's great!

Mine just says- tell me when to show up! He did help pick out the band since music is really important to him and meet with the catering manager to pick the menu, but that's about it. He just doesn't care about that stuff as long as we have good music, food he likes and an open bar

Surprisingly, mine is too!
Not the BM dresses though
I always thought I will be the one planning and he won't help. BUT, he is helping with everything! We decide everything together! I think its great, but also, a bit annoying

Re: How involved is FH with wedding planning???

He's quite involved, but only at my request. He comes to appointments under duress and then got a little P.O.'d when I went and chose the flowers by myself. And they say women are hard to please...

Greg took care of the limos and the church cause those were the things I didnt want to do... I told him if he wanted to get married in the church he better contact the priest himself (I dont agree with a lot of things that the church preaches so I was afraid that I would get pissed off and yell at the priest or something lol)

Same here. I do run things by him when it comes time to decide. But I am almost glad that I have free rein. His family has not even asked about anything, no interest whatsoever

Re: How involved is FH with wedding planning???

he was very involved at first with pick out the hall, florist, photographer etc, but know the little things he doesnt care about

Re: How involved is FH with wedding planning???

um, does complaining count as involvement?

We went to 3 halls together and thats all he did. He just keeps saying 'just tell me what time I have to show up' and then complains about how much the whole thing is costing him.

Re: How involved is FH with wedding planning???

I call Michael 'Groomzilla' because he is so involved.

I am happy about it, though it can sometimes be annoying.

Re: How involved is FH with wedding planning???

Not really so much. I brought him in to see to see the reception hall before I signed the contract. He's also had some opinions on the menu and the music, but otherwise, he's left most of it up to me.

Re: How involved is FH with wedding planning???

Mine has been very involved. He was in charge of photo and video since they are his expertice. I also run things by him before I decide and he always expresses his opinion.
