Hi, I have an ideal date in mind of August next year, and would like to book a venue now. When mentioning weddings to my other half, he doesn't seem as enthusiastic as I do. He said he would get married anywhere etc. Is this a mans thing? How do I get plans rolling if he doesn't really want to be involved? He's not an organised person and he is so so laid back. I just don't know??

Hi mine is exactly the same but my Mother and I went to a Wedding Fayre then told my Fiance how lovely the place was. Three days later he went with me to see the place he liked it so much he decided we should get married there we booked it straight away. The same day we went to see the registrar he took over and we are getting married on 18th August next year. :)

Think we have to take the lead girls, get some good ideas and prices colour schemes etc then present to H2B..

To be honest I think some people are like that. My other half is enthusiastic about it but I know sometimes people just want to turn up lol. Ask him? :)

My fiance came to visit venues with me, and we eventually found one we both loved. He's happy to help with decisions, but I'm the one who researches and narrows down the options 😊

My partner was enthusiastic about venue shopping but now if I even mention wedding he gets in a sulk it's a man thing

My partner was really enthusiastic about the venue, sorting the ceremony and who we were inviting... but I think all the other details he is happy to leave to me... although I have to admit we kind of knew where we wanted our reception anyway. But I think it is a man thing!

Mine is the same not to fussed where getting married just wants to get married he gives opinions of what he likes and that's all I get from him haha

My h2b wasnt as excited as me at first but I dragged him to come and see the venues and is slowly warming up to the idea of being involved. Good luck!

I think it's a man thing - mine is exactly the same, but I see this as a good thing because I have full control over what we do, and as I used to plan weddings for a living I am such a control freak when it comes to this sort of thing. I am dragging him to important things like looking at venues and I will be taking him to the menu tasting as I think these are things that are important for both of us to like. If you want to get him involved maybe give him one or two small jobs that you are not overly bothered about doing yourself - I gave mine the task of choosing our first dance song because i didn't even want to have to think about it - and I think the song he has chosen is perfect!
