PW Guide Article: My Fiancé Hates Wedding Planning!

I love this article, me and my fiance are older and this is our second marriage so he thinks that all he has to dois pick his tux and show up. Because we can not agree on the color pallette he feels that he is now left out. But I love the idea of creating a list of things for him to do. Then maybe he will start taking some of the responsibility.

very important article i dont want my fi to feel left out!

I am lucky to have a very involved fi.  He made sure I knew that he wanted to be included in the planning - and I handed him tasks such as DJ, Photographer, coordination of Honeymoon.  While he has come with my to my Florist/Wedding Planner meetings, I would definitely agree that this was the area he felt out of his realm in.  However, yesterday we picked out our invitations and he had a ball with it.  You just never know what might appeal to them - once you start with the basics, it might light a fire under them.

This article is great! I hear this a lot!

my fiance' is so caught up in planning our traditional wedding.he does try to be interested but for now it seems too early according to me, fo him to plan the wedding.so traditon first then white wedding later....hope this will change though.

Well obviously we all see things differently. My fiancé is one of those guys that could care less and has said I would meet you down the aisle in a brown paper bag, just tell where to meet! I absolutely love this as I have full reigns and don't have to argue with a man on anything. All I go over with him is costs and contracts. Nothing more, nothing less and I love it. I have received input though on things by showing him pictures in magazines and I do it as a game. What's ugly and what's not? That's fun and a good tip for women who also have guys disengaged from planning. That way you are still getting input. :)

I am lucky my FI enjoys planning our wedding.

My FI doesn't hate planning. He listens to me when I give him the run down on things, I give him tasks to do which he tries to complete as soon as possible ( he's just that kinda guy). He's pretty much just cares that I don't go over budget, which I won't!

We have a long engagement so right now my fiance has minimal interest in wedding details. He does try to be interested and there are a few things he's getting excited about. I'm hoping he gets more involved as the date gets closer.
