Just for fun!
How involved is your Groom?

Good morning, Ladies!!! I woke up so appreciative of Philly and how much he has done to help with the wedding planning process. Any time I complain, my sisters tell me that I am very lucky that he is as involved as he is, one sister said her husband was done after giving her the ring, haha.

Granted, most of the planning and ideas have been mine, but I think that's pretty typical. Philly is a very visual person, and unless he actually SEES something, he just isn't able to give an opinion. But I still wanted him as involved as possible.

He took over ALL of the painting. He actually joked about our garage being "Sohns Custom Wedding Painting" for awhile. HAHA. We made our card box together, he painted it and did the cutting, I did the decorating. Same with our cupcake stand, he did all the painting and I did the ribbon. And then my Mom threw at us that she wanted something on the small pillars at the ceremony, so I chose flower pots. Found black, couldn't find pink, so there he went again, painting the flower pots!! :) And he painted the wishing tree also!!

Almost every week he will ask what still needs done, and if there is anything he can do. Sometimes I give him a list of things to get, and he comes home with them, too sweet. And he's been amazing at helping put stuff together and giving opinions on colors, looks, thoughts, etc. And he's made every vendor appointment with me!!

Probably the BIGGEST thing he has done, is he is my biggest fan. He loves everything that I've come up with, and is always so genuinely impressed when I finish something. And tells me so often how amazing our wedding is going to be thanks to me. He really is so sweet and supportive, love him to pieces!! Even when somthing I tried doesn't work out, he's the first one to help figure out how we can fix it.

So I just wanted to do a shout out to my fiance, with a big thanks!!

How involved is everyones future husband? Do you want him to be? Or would just rather he sit and look pretty? HAHA. :)

Hope you all are having a great day!!

groom, future husband, just for fun

You, my dear, are very lucky!! My man wants to help, but then when I ask him what he thinks of something or if we should start booking hotels and such, he replys with "let's just wait and see"... I mean what are we waiting and seeing for?!?! It drives me up a wall. But I guess that what men do sometimes... haha Although, he has plenty of really sweet moments to make up for those not so good ones! MEN!!
But I do try to keep him involved as much as possible since he is paying for a lot of it. It's usually a lot of "I don't care's" and of course, waiting...  haha!

I agree with alecia, you are very lucky. Most men don't want to participate. That's really awesome that your FH actively wants to help you, instead of you having to ask him.
My FH does want his input. He's mostly the final vote. I do all the research and creative ideas and he says "yes' or "no". He really has no idea what to do when planning a wedding because the only wedding he has ever been to was 3 years ago to a very strict Catholic wedding and ours is going to be far from that! His only 'real' job in the wedding process is deciding what he and his groomsmen will be wearing. I told him I'll be there to help, but whatever he wants to wear is okay with me!
I like when he gets involved with the wedding decisions, mostly because it shows he cares about things I care about.

Hey! You are very fortunate girl. I guess I'm right there with you. My FHubby is pretty involved with the wedding. Since we are both paying for it, he definitely wants a say in what's going on. He even picked the colors for the wedding! He has very strong opinions on entertainment and food. We both have an even say and agree on a lot of things. The only thing we didn't really agree on was the lighting, but we compromised on it LOL

Thanks, girls!!! I have to agree, I am very lucky!! :) There were actually a few times in the beginning of the planning that I said I felt like I was planning it myself, so that must have gotten the ball rolling in his involvement, lol. :) Ever since then, he's been on it! @alecia, lol, guys are so like that! Why do today what they can put off until tomorrow? ;) @2bmrsaltuzarra, I agree, guys really don't ever understand how much goes into a wedding, it's like they think it all magically appears that day? lol. So glad your FH helps with the final say! :) @tiffany, that's awesome that he helped with that, especially since you didn't have to ask! @flrjohnson, that's so funny he picked the colors! But so helpful! We also agree on most everything, so that helps! Glad you were able to compromise on the lighting!! ;)
I guess we are all very lucky girls!!! If nothing else, we get to marry the men of our dreams!!! xoxo
