Have you been completely entrusted with all the aspects of wedding planning or are you and FI trying to coordinate it together while he's on deployment?

If it's the latter, how is that working out?

It is all me!

I think it makes FI feel a little bad that he is missing it all, which makes me sad. I try to keep him informed of everything- he pretends like he doesn't care, but I know it makes him feel good to be part of it.

He is really bummed about missing the cake tasting!

The wedding is just about 1 1/2 months after the date of his redeployment- so it really gives us something to look forward to. Instead of a countdown to coming home, he has a countdown to the wedding- it kind of makes my heart melt :)

It's all me too.  Steve is gone for 5 weeks during this CRUCIAL planning time.  Invitations were done by me and my friends.  Addressing by myself.  Stuffing envelopes by myself.  The list goes on...  :)  He feels really bad but he's SO busy at the course he's at so I couldn't ask him to do too much.  :(

He's pretty laid back and doesn't care too much about the invites or decor, etc but we are trying to get our honeymoon planned and things like that and hes in the middle of the freakin california desert on training....phone calls are MAYBE once a week so its really hard to catch up and tell him I miss him as WELL as try to straighten out things we need to discuss...we still are ten months out from the wedding but its stressful cuz his deployment is up in the air and the uncertainty of it all just plain sucks...but in the end the stress of missing him is worse than the stress of wedding planning

"the stress of missing him is worse than the stress of wedding planning" 

I totally agree- 100% 

yeap..military life is hard..BUT knowing what he does makes a difference makes me such a proud wife and makes it all seem worth it :)

You ladies rock!  I hope that you know that EVERYONE appreciates the sacrifices you and FI / DH make - even if it seems as if they don't.  Some people might not like the wars, but everyone loves our soldiers.  <3

its all me. he knows ill make it awesome. and i soooo am lol

He helped me make the decisions, he trusted my judgement but I still talked things over with him...He wants me to have the wedding i love, so he's cool with mostly everything, but I sure wish he would have been there to be happy about our church, reception etc....:) He's incharge of the honeymoon.

It is SO nice to hear that I am not alone in all of this. I wouldn't trade my FI for anything in the world but I know this isn't gonna be easy.
