Wedding Planning causing bickering

Ladies,

I am so stressed right now and the bickering doesn't help. I try to include FH in the planning and ask his opinion and he jokes with me. For instance, we were talking about the attire and he said "why cant the GM just wear black jeans". That really ticked me off even though he was playing. I then went on about how there are times to be serious and times.

Then he wants to give the band a list of songs to play for 2 hours straight. I am sorry, I am not going through that extra trouble, if he wants to he can.

Am I wrong for that?

You have "officially" been crowned!!! LOL I think every single one of us at some part has had this frustration with our FH/DH!!! My FH is just "beginning" to get excited now and providing his input (yeah, after I have been thru all of the major headaches!!)

Tag, you're it. Soon2b is right, we all go or have gone through this. Trust me, the closer it gets to wedding, he'll fall in line and you'll both be in sync. He'll be whipping his men into shape as well.

Take it from me this is quite common. Planning a wedding can be stressful, try not to let it bother you too much.

Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37

Re: Wedding Planning causing bickering

I agree with Rhony. Don't let your FH's joking make you upset. When he said "why cant the GM just wear black jeans", that was a prime opportunity to loosen up & crack jokes back. As far as the 2 hour song list for the band, if that's what he wants, he's on his own. I bet, he'll change his mind. Pam's got a point, too. The closer the wedding gets, the more he'll get right. I remember having a breakdown a month before the wedding where I couldn't make decisions. DH stepped up and made great choices. Have faith in your FH!

I'm a married woman as of December 2, 2006.
Delight yourself also in the Lord & He shall give you all the desires of your heart.-Psalm 37:4

Ding, Ding, Ding, welcome to our sisterhood MrsReed2be. We've all been down that road and some of us are still going down that road. Try not to let it bother you though. Maybe he thought that you were too frustrated and decided on the joke about the jeans just to get you to relax. You should've just kissed him and say "The reason why your boys can't wear Jeans are the same reason I can't walk down the aisle naked", kiss him again and walk away smiling. Then you would've had the last laugh and you retain your decorum. On the more serious note, if you're feeling too stressed out, there's nothing wrong in getting a wedding planner or to push some things to your wedding party for help. You don't have to do it all alone sister.

Re: Wedding Planning causing bickering

Ginoue .. Good idea I think I will use that one next time FH makes a wise crack.. lol Good to see I'm not alone sometimes I want to step on his neck! Seems like he only has something to say one I've made up my mind.. URGGGHHH ..

O gosh and the guest list... I could kill him.. he's a social butterfly and I'm just not.. so he is constantly wanting to add someone to the darn list. Especially the play cousins and auntie's he haasn't spoken to since he was 5. So I finally told him you add em YOU pay for em lol..
He hasn't added anyone since lol..

Honey, once he starts adding the $$ with the reception the closer you get, he'll start making excuses like..."Now why are we inviting such and such?"
