Well of course ladies we are in charge of it 100% but we gotta give our OH something to do other wise he'll be bored or be like you didn't let me choose anything or get my opinion on anything to do with Our Wedding Its not just your big day its both so this are what i think our H2B should be on charge off: *His attire & Groomsmen attire *Food Because He Cooks More Than Me (Well I don't cook when he is around) *Drinks *Gets to choose his own Wedding ring *Button holes (maybe) *Cuff Links *Music *DJ (I LOVE CAKE HE WILL HELP PICK!!!) *Stag Do (Best Man)

I said to hubby he could be in charge of the suits, even then I ended up going and helped him pick. That was it, he could not even remember to give the groomsmen their little personalised sixpences.

CommentAuthorVelcro
He's got a say in everything, but so far he's ran with all my ideas even put his foot down and said we're having X venue or else haha. We're ready to book now and finally start getting somewhere, so I think he's goign to take an even more active interest. Groomzilla incoming. There was a thread not too long ago about allowing the groom to pick the first dance song, when I initially read it, I fist though no fecking way, but now I've told him he can pick without my input lol. Could be a risky move. But ultimately, I want him to have a say in everything, I wouldn't like it if he wanted something I hated and insisted on it, or else, and I won't do the same to him
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey
*Kelbel* is my wedding twinny!
I have PLENTY of ideas about what I want, but he is going to have to have a say on everything as it'll be multicultural. Shame, 'my' wedding would be awesome haha! He could just agree with me on decisions, or it could all go baaaaddd... Watch this space ;)
CommentAuthorOWB
H2B has to have a say on everything (apart from the decoration, as he admits he couldn't really care less if we have bunting or 'other dangly things'). We sat down with a list of things to do, he took the stuff he knew he could sort, but always checks with me before finalising things, I took some of the list and the rest we're done together.
I have ended up doing more, but part of that is because I wanted to, and partly as anything to do with design just isn't his thing, he doesn't understand the whole coordination thing. However, if I felt that he was leaving things to me then I'd throw my toys out of the pram.
I've checked h2b list, he has to: - liaise with the minister to sort out our visits - order the ties - source and order the favours - find and order pinks socks for the males in the wedding party - sort the guests with appropriate accommodation - Buy the sweets for the sweet buffet - Organise the ushers - Plan his stag do - Buy gifts for his half of the party - Buy a suit - Find me my shoes - he loves to shop, I don't and I've had enough of looking!!
If only life could be one long tea break
CommentAuthorSparklez
I know its wrong but I don't think I could leave him in charge of any decisions other then the suit colour and who he want as BM/Ushers.
The rest will be joint decisions, even his ring as i'll be getting it through the supplier for good discount lol :)
Feel bad saying that now... but its true, and he knows it xx

CommentAuthormym72
My husband wasn't in charge of anything!!! WE did everything to do with the wedding together!! After all, it was OUR day so WE planned it. A wedding isn't just the bride's day, it's a day for both of you so both of you need to work together to plan and implement it. Surely that's one of the reasons why you get married - because you're a team and have a say on everything together.
CommentAuthorSianyCaitlin
My h2b has had a say in everything so far .. actually, except the venue! Me & one of my BM's went to view it & I put down the deposit before he'd even seen it! He said all he wants a say in are the suits, the music & the colours & the rest he's leaving up to me but he WILL get some jobs to do whether he likes it or not! Lol x

We have done every single bit so far together as OUR wedding day so important he is involved. The only bit I have done alone is my dress but we choose bridesmaid dresses together than showed the bridesmaid the options. We also discusses hen and stag dos together then told our best man and bridesmaids our thoughts and left it them now. I think its important you do as much together as not my day but our day so I want his input and choices as much xxx
Finally marrying the love of my life !!

Glitterfairy don't you feel happy that he asked you to help because in another thread one of the brides does not want him to have the outfit he has his heart set on because she doesnt think it will fit in with her color scheme which is fair enough he may stand out but isnt that good if the pair of you stand out as it is both of your weddings Kel Bel getting anything out of your H2B can be a mission as sometimes you feel like your talking to a brick wall at least your H2B is involved :) Hi 5 LizzyLou Velcro trying to pick any music for our wedding is going to be the biggest mission ever as we have such different tastes in music i have not got the song i walk down the aisle too or the one we walk down as husband and wife let alone our first dance song Ill get there one day got 3 yrs =D Poppy you sound like me I have so many ideas but sometimes I think my head is in th clouds i think of the idea part but I do not follow throught to think of the design stage the finished product/idea OWB how you get your H2B to do so much whats your trick Sparkles don't feel bad you know how he is and he knows it too so your only saying the truth =) Kimi1987 Your H2B Is FIRED!!! Looool mym72 I get your point Im going to try get my H2B more involved but he keeps saying that Im in charge of the rest I can do it he has his little list to do Ill have to wait and see =D Siany give him a long list of things to do only fair I choose the Venue too H2B just agreed with me as Im not going to get married any where else =D I think my H2B will get more involved in everything closer to the wedding and have a say and opinion on everything but till then its still early days in his eyes n mind its forever till the wedding =D <3 X

my h2b is invovled with a lot more wedding planning than people think, he chose the venues, i think said yes. He is choosing his suits. we both chose the bmaid dresses, flowers, invites, table decorations, centre pieces, flower girl dress, the theme, colour scheme. He chose my underwear lol...
Give him time :D he will soon get excited and more involved. But give him the choice on things, like you said you have a while togo yet till the proper excitement kicks in :d

The only thing me and my H2B have agreed on so far is the venue!! We have completely different ideas on what we want for everything else and I know its driving him nuts that he can't be involved in choosing my wedding dress - though I do wind him up by cutting out really ugly ones and putting them in the scrapbook lol. Our wedding will def be a team effort though and there is no way he would be left out of any part of it :-)

I shouldn't be surprised but my fiance and I have literally planned everything together, apart from me and my girls' outfits, and him and his suits. We work so well as a team that we just carried on doing the same for the wedding. Didn't realise he would be into the flowers even! Very pleased and just reaffirmed what I already knew and that we're perfect for each other. Can't wait to get married in 2 weeks! :) x

CommentAuthorLauraJo87
Haha I still don't like his suit...but I wouldn't dream of stopping him from wearing it if thats what he really wants to do as its the only thing he's done 'by himself', as the dress will be the only thing I do by myself.
I'm kinda of the opinion that a wedding ought to be a joint process of discussions and agreements and disagreements and compromises, rather than such a full on delegation approach. I think the process of planning the wedding has actually bought us even closer together, things like going through readings and songs and picking out why they mean what they mean to the two of us.
In a marriage, you are never going to agree on everything and in planning a wedding you certainly won't! Originally we were just going to go down to the registry office and go for a meal with the family but that wouldn't have worked with my family arrangements. On the day I'm sure there will be things that I would have necessarily preferred, but at the end of the day it will still be the happiest day of my life, to end it knowing that I am his lawful wedded wife.
