    After spending a week looking online for a wedding dressing I found one that I would suit my figure (it's a corset fit) and would still look good after I lose some weight ... so on impulse I bought it, without mentioning anything to my partner as it's something I want to do on my own!!! He's been looking for next years holiday (we always book early to get a discount), so he's found one that we were both happy with. Within hours of my ordering my dress he wanted to book next years holiday. When I started hesitating about booking (because of the amount I've already spent on my dress) immediately he says I'm hiding something. Yes I was!! I wanted to buy my dress & not tell him anything about it!! I had to tell him after he wouldn't let it go. His reaction 'Awwwww!' & a big cuddle.

    Nearly yes! I've even shown pics of to h2b to see what he thinks!! I know that he'll always tell me the truth and may even point things out that I hadn't thought of, so the thought of buying a dress without his opinion is a bit scary esp as his opinion is what matters the most on the day!! Glad I have good BM's who will tell me the truth! x

    I tell him most things apart - for example he knows about my dress that its white with red detail and that i've got hoops under it - part of telling him was for the colour scheme and the hoops was so he'd know that for our first dance there's hoops to contend with. :)

    I don't keep things from him unless its important he doesn't know - mainly surprises for him so that's fine.

    i didnt tell my hubby anything about my dress just that id bought it........... i told him most things id sorted 4 the wedding but never told him costs,not cuz i was hiding it from him just because i knew he wouldnt mind what cost what.

    i think every1 has times when they keep somet back be it ''oh it was on offer in the sale'' whenb in truth it wasnt or ''yes babe il buy kellogs cornflakes cuz i no u dont like the cheap 1s'' then buy the cheap ones n swap the box lol but providing u share all the big things i think its ok. x x

    i tell my h2b everything!

    The minute i had bought my dress i just had to tell him or i would have burst keeping it to myself lol. He still doesnt know what it looks like but sometime i have to stop myself from telling him every tiny detail of my dress because i want it to be a surprise on the day.

    I dont think there is anything wrong with telling your h2b everything. I even tell him things that happen to me through out the day lol

    I have only told him that it's big and he said he wouldnt have expected anything different!

    I Get P*SSED off that he tells his mum things that are supposed to be surprises for all of the guests so now i've decided whatever i discuss with my mum and dad, if it doesnt concern him directly, i'm not telling him yet lol is that mean?

    i don't care actually cuz hes got a bigger gob than me lol

    I tell H2B everything too, I will definitely be telling him when i've ordered my dress, I know I will be so excited and not be able to not tell him! I know i'll manage to keep the details secret though, I want it to be a complete surprise. I tell him everything else I do for the wedding though, he is really interested and wants to be involved. I also tell him details about my day often that other people would probably just thing are boring but he listens and lets me get it off my chest!!

    I tell him everything apart from the little surprises I've got hidden from him which I'm struggling to keep from him I might add, he hasn't seen my dress apart from the bottom bit as it was on my old phone that he had to use while his replacement iPhone came, but he deleted as soon as he realised what it was

    Mine has actually seen my dress... I was using his ebay account to buy it, and needed help so he's seen which dress I have... he just hasn't seen the real dress (it's in a special box he knows not to touch) and he hasn't seen it on me and won't be seeing it until the day!

    Knowing him, he's already completely forgotten what it looks like and once it's altered (I'm wanting to change a thing or two) it'll be different, so even though he's seen a picture and knows it's MY dress, it'll still be a complete surprise anyway!

    I think when it comes to money matters you kinda have to be honest without looking suspicious!
    My h2b is pretty involoved with the plans becuase it's his wedding too, he has seen my bm dresses and I have seen his suits. He hasn't seen my dress tho :)

    We share money stuff, but I'm pretty much in charge of what happens with the wedding. I tell him what I'm doing, he glazes over and I know he's had enough of that. If there was something he really objected to he'd say, but other than that he says it's my day mostly and that he's happy to have what I want.

    He's not seen my dress (well I don't think he has!) but I keep letting out bits about it by accident then I kick myself!!!! He swears I'm going to tell him all about it before the big day! He's probably right!

    H2b and I tell each other absolutely everything- he's my best friend. Which makes the wedding frustrating because he wants all of my stuff (the dress, jewellery, etc) to be a surprise, so I can't tell him, haha. Although he had to see my ballroom shoes yesterday because I had to practise our first dance in them.

    h2b and I share everything, we can't even manage to keep birthday or christmas presents secret for more than a day or two. If i even tried to keep something a secret from him he would just instinctively know. Its odd because I've always been a really secretive person until I met him, but it sort of fits our relationship.

    Hubby to be knows everything except what the dress looks like as he has had full organisation, but he also thinks the flowers are 100 cheaper than he thinks as he went mad at 1000 eeeek. Hope he doesnt go in the file. Other than this, yes he knows everything as we wanted to plan everything except my dress together.

    Thank you all for all your lovely replies. We do talk about everything, we're extremely open & nothing is off limits. H2B is having most the say on the wedding date & other details mainly because his organisational skills are better than mine, so my dress is my domain. I'm well within budget on the dress so he will be pleased when I tell him what it cost. lol I know he'd prefer to be surprised on the day but he's soooooo bloody inquisitive. I was trying to be secretive for his own benefit. ;)

    We talk about almost everything but there is some things that you have to keep to yourself like how much my dress actually cost or how much I charge my sister for cakes hahaha.....sometimes it's easier to keep quiet to avoid the fight and bend things ever so slightly.

    I told Dan when I'd ordered & paid the deposit on my dress, I had talked to him about it as it was over budget. Then I made look through a magazine which had it in at all the pictures to see if he made any comments on it, I told him what material it was, length and neckline. He worried me as he told me what he imagined me in, and the dress I chose was nothing like it! But in the end he said he loved my dress and it was perfect.

    told him everything apart from what kind of dress I bought. He knew I was going dress shopping, and I told him when i bought it. I also told him I wasnt sure about it, and he was the first person i text when I went back to try it on again and fell in love with it. He got all emotional and just cant wait to see me in it!

    I have not told him I am wearing a veil though. That is gonna be a suprise.

    i told him when i got my dress mainly as i had to beg him for a hour to buy it for me he will 100% not be knowing anything about it other then its quite big he thinks its gold (its white) and ive said im the only one wearing it so he must not buy anything gold. my dress is in its bag in our wardrobe right next tohis work uniform so he sees it every day but i know he would never look. x

    I tell him everything apart from little surprises that I have planned for him for wedding day, although I've almost let a few slip and then last night I stupidly let slip that he's going paintballing for his stag do. His best man has organised it and I had a momentary lapse of concentration and said "Oh, by the way, don't let anyone shoot you in the face when you go paintballing..." I realised just as I said it and it was too late. I couldn't stop apologising. I feel so awful!
