My Fiance is a dud when it comes to planning!

Real Bride Question: My fianc� and I are getting married October of next year and we�ve already begun doing some planning but it seems like unless I constantly remind him nothing is gonna get done it feels like I have more help from my best friends and very little from my fianc� so ladies and gents of wedding planning..help me please :/ (she goes on to explain that when she does give him a list, he doesnt follow up and claims there�s a ton of time)

My Response: such a frustrating situation! have you considered asking him what aspects he would be interested in? Perhaps choosing limo�s, music, or specialty cocktail might be more �dude like� and might help get him inspired to participate. Also, i find that over 70% of the honeymooners that contact me � are the grooms. and guess what, they are almost always rushing with about a month notice! I tsk tsk tsk them, because i�m sure he was tasked with the planning ages before. sigh men, we love �em!

Have you tried to tell him how this all makes you feel? That i makes you feel like he doesnt care about the wedding. Maybe you can go on to say that his dismissiveness about the wedding feels like he�s dismissing you. If you can get him to see that you arent nagging but that you read his behavior as a reflection of he feels about you, maybe he�ll change his vantage point a little bit.

Wishing you much luck and love! Lara
