    is it just me or other h2b's not really into weddings and helping to make decisions. im just venting here.

    my h2b just wants to turn up to the castle and say i do then eat and have a drink with family and friends. he doesnt want to be involved with the arrangements. he says i can do whatever i want and have whatever i want as its my day.

    should i be happy bout this

    HAH! I think its a man thing. My H2B is "dress, suits, and registry office is sorted...its done" In his eyes its basically sorted, he's not that fussed about all the other details, he's leaving those up to me, but I still do his opinion on things even though he says its my day and his mum has told him to let me have what I want :D

    Some men aren't interested in the details hun but don't worry about it too much. I find if I talk too much about wedding then Neil gets fed up but he still takes an interest and will make his voice heard if he doesn't like something. lol. All men are different and if he's not involved in the planning it means you can get your own way :)

    Isn't that all that's important tho? Turn up, get wed in front of friends and family, then have a celebration of your love. Everything else is just dressing. We love the extra bits but they're not what the day is about. Whether you have favours and seat covers or not your marriage is what people have come to see. As long as he wants to marry you then I'd say he's as involved as is necessary.

    yeah i think its a man thing too, i do think they should have some input as its their day too!! my oh is happy with anything as long as there's no 'pink' in the theme.... now i think if he wants an opinion like that he should show more effort for everything else too x

    Mine is exactly the same which is great for me coz I dont have to keep asking him every two minutes which colour/ flower/ venue he would prefer etc.

    Im just really glad that he is excited about and wants to get married to me in my childhood church. We are only having a party afterwards and so that Im not stressed on the day, im decorating the hall the night before with balloons and table cloths, candles and confetti etc.. Im paying someone to do the buffet so i dont have that stress and a mate of mine is doing the dj so Im not stressed about that side of things. All i have to do is choose things. xxxx

    hummm its hard because if he did help then he might make things less stressful for you. but then if he does not wish to help he might make them more if you expect him to help and he does not.

    I've now came to the conclusion that mine is only interested in the party :(

    I was annoyed at first at how much he was trying to take over things but now I want him to be like that again, I think hes bored now! Suppose he can't win with me haha xx

    My OH has his moments of interest - mainly when it comes to the money side of things! Although he did say last night he'd be quite happy for me to choose everything, tell him the date (As long it doesn't clash with any football lol), lay his suit on the bed and he'll turn up!

    yeah mine is fairly the same! he'll come with me and have a decision on things but he's not overly concerned i don't mind tho i have my mum and 2 sisters with me also, but i know some of you don't so it is really frustrating for you!! but i just buy things that i like and luckily we have the same taste in stuff.

    saying all that he was the one who chose our venue tho

    xx

    Live every moment
    Laugh everyday
    Love beyond words
    Happily ever after

    Button-Bell - haha I know, but we're both football fans, so it works both ways for us! Hence choosing May/June time - no football season lol. x

    My H2B always said from day one of getting together that if we ever got married it had to be out of season in an odd numbered year as he didn't want it to clash with any league, cup, or international football!

    But he is also the same caz, keeps saying he can't wait until its over then i'll stop going on about it!

    Mina - what would it be like if he actually did?? Ha! I'm very lucky - H2B is very excited & gets involved with all the planning. He doesn't even roll his eyes when I'm going on and on...not yet, anyway! x

    I think lots of men are into the wedding day but not all the stuff that leads up to it. They just want to marry us and are not bothered what colour the flowers are or what favours we have. They know we love it so leave us to do it all knowing it will make us happy having the day the way we always dreamed of it.

    I'm lucky the h2b does take an interest but I wouldn't take offence at him if he said he wanted to leave it all to me and he just turned up on the day. Like he says he is marrying me not the venue or the dress.

    i dread to think lol

    i remember how he was reading me the riot act of how you just go into a florists, pick up a bunch of flowers and said these are the ones i want. when i tried to explain that they like to know a few details about the wedding so as not to make you look stupid, he turned around and said that he thought they were trying to tell Brides what they can and can't have.

    he took more of an interest when we thought we were bringing it forward but now that we're back to the original date; he's more interested in the move. i might call his bluff actually and tell him closer to the time that he's organising it lol
