my bf and i aren’t engaged yet but have talked about our wedding. we’re planning on having two: a civil ceremony on a beach for just the two of us [his dream wedding] and then the big to-do with family and friends [which most likely will be my dream wedding].

while telling him the progress of my best friend’s wedding planning, he said that we’d just pick a date and get married without much planning. after learning that he meant the second one [the family one], he realized that wouldn’t work, with rentals and stuff, and i told him he could plan our first ceremony, which he’s very pleased about.

silly boy.

We are actually in really good shape with the planning, all because of FH! I tend to be indecisive plus I want to please everyone all the time, while he can be really decisive and is great at simplifying things. If it were up to me alone, we’d still be setting the date!!

Katy - you guessed right! I’m a Bruin (and diehard fan) and heading to ND for the game! I’m super excited for the game and fly out tonight!

Mr. Orange says “Yes Dear.” He also was instrumental in pushing me into making decisions regarding florist and limo company and the STD cards since I was so indecisive.

We’re 50/50 (at least averaged out over time). Early on he tried to talk about how the wedding was all the woman’s day anyway, and we had a serious talk about that then and there. There’s a lot of work involved in putting together a wedding on a small budget, and it was going to be something that both of us would enjoy. If that was the case, then we both had to put that time in.

Hi Miss Lemon,

You mentioned that you fiance was Catholic and would be the one meeting the priest. You may already know this (in which I’m sorry for being redundant), but just wanted to say that you both may be required to meet with the priest before the ceremony, and may even need to attend a pre-marital retreat or counseling before a church ceremony.

That’s great! You have a terrific fiance. Mine is pretty active. He’s enjoying reading Engaged Groom and puts in a lot of input on some ideas I come up with. He’s adamant about going with me down to OBX to meet all our vendors. He doesn’t care about what kind of flowers I get, but does want to see the contracts and make sure no one is taking advantage of me and our wedding. He’s also really active with anything music related. Lastly, since he’s the Catholic one, he took care of all the precana stuff (check too) and making sure his Catholic priest can marry us when we return.

Not really. I guess I’m kinda ok with it since my fiance has pretty outrageous taste (except with me) with things, he likes Euro and over the top, while I was classy, elegant things. But I wish he can be a bit more euthiastic instead of the “tell me when and where” attitude, where hurt my feelings at times. I’ve delegated things that I don’t have a strong opinion for to him, such as DJ and dance lessons. So he can do his part and make the wedding personal to him.
