    Putting some imput into the wedding. Mark just agree's with anything, he just doesn't pu his opinions across. He made it clear he didnt want a big party but thats it, I seem to be making all the decisions. I know I shouldn't complain but it would be nice to have a little help with planning. He just keeps saying he trusts my judgement and he trust I will make the day special. Is anyone elses H2B like this......

    he's a man hun lol..thats all they do is lay back and let us plan...tbh in their minds all they gotta do is pay and turn up!!!

    it seems to b e more of a "woman" task...so dont feel disheartened..just cause he's not givin much opinon doesnt mean he doesnt care etc..all i got througout my planning was "i dont mind" "im not fussed, you choose" etc

    Yeah H2b is great at saying if he likes something or not and he also has ideas for songs and other things. He is also going to help me make the invites too! Thank god cause I don't think even I want to sit making that many lol. I think some men just want you to have the day your way so don't want to put a downer on anything hence they just agree. It doesn't mean they don't care and they do want to get married. They just want it to be like your dreams.

    Well, when we started arranging the wedding Mark was the one who picked the date, booked the venue, and arranged the band. I found and booked the photographer, though we both went to meet him. Since then Mark has said he's happy for me to organise the cake and flowers as thats more a girl's thing and he's not really fussed what we have lol! I have also been getting onto him about arranging to meet the guy who will do the hand fasting ceremony but he still hasn't e-mailed him, I have done a draft copy of our invites and am still waiting for him to 'tweak' them and print them off, and we still haven't started our hand fasting cord!!! Arghhhhhh sooooo much to sort out :-(

    My oh doesn't seem to be interested at all! He has told me things and places he doesn't Like but not what he does like! It's so frustrating coz I want it to be abroad I want to send the invites out asap but I can't without knowing where it's gona be! I found a hotel I loved but he doesn't like it so I told him to find one but two weeks later has he looked online? Nope! And if I mention it.... I'm pressuring him! Argh I keep saying people are booking for 2013 and places will be booked if we don't start looking now but it seems he is not bothered and doesn't believe what I'm trying to say! Thing is he asked me to marry him yet he doesn't wana talk about the wedding at all. Haha anyone feel for me???! Lol

    When we first got engaged Steve told me that he was happy for me to make all the decisions but that he would like a bit of input as to what we had... now he's the one saying no to almost everything while I'm running around trying to find things... I think the phrase is "be careful what you wish for" lol

    david is involved very heavily and I know most brides would love that but I kind of like to have wedding related things done within a certain time so I have to wait whilst he does the research ive already done if you get me..... so everything I get excited about gets put on hold until he checks it out.... good in that at least we are planning it together but im too impatient to wait.

    cant wait to be Mrs Evans less than 3 weeks woooo

    Yeah he's helping a lot. We discuss everything - but things like my dress he's left to me. He's been involved choosing colour, bm dress styles, everything to do with ceremony, reception and night do - and even went with me to enquire about flowers (and give advice to me about everything).

    In fact I've just found him online looking up music for the ceremony lol. Now that's being involved.

    unless it's to open his wallet (which he hasn't done yet) or to attend a meeting than hasn't really helped out, he helped picked the venue but for him he says he's too much stress and tbh with his job and own business to run i can imagine why he's saying that. He just wants me to have my perfect day so said that they only way to do it is if i'm picking the main items.....give it another couple of months and he'll want to join in haha x

    My H2B has let me know just how he wants the day to be, but then left all the arranging up to me. . . He has no idea on the cost of things, he set aside £100 in his budget for all flowers (he wants church flowers 3 bouquets, buttonholes, corsages, centrepieces, e.t.c.) Which makes it alot harder!!! Men hey? Xx

Decision please!". I reckon most men are the same, TBH. :)

    My h2b has been ... ok. He booked the DJ (but only because I told him I wasn't going to, and if he wanted a DJ he'd have to find one!) but he was brilliant with our invitations - we knew we didn't want anything with "formal" wording, so he made up a poem! He chose his outfit .. but other than that I've done it all.
