I Do, He Doesn’t
In case you were unaware, I have a little secret for you, most men do not care about 90% of the wedding planning process. There, it’s out, now you know.
When I was planning my big day I could go on and on about the color theme, the cake, the guest list, the budget; my fiance’ lasted about 10 minutes. While it can be terribly frustrating, it’s also very common. I would love to dish out some brilliant ideas to make your fiance seem more interested but that just won’t happen.
Here’s what you have to remember, just because your man could give a hoot as to whether you have a raspberry ganache or cream cheese filling between the layers of the cake, it doesn’t mean that he isn’t excited to marry you. Most guys are envisioning the big picture, that picture containing you and you only, in a beautiful gown, looking like the princess he knows you are.
That being said, still try to incorporate your fiance’ in the planning process as much as possible. You may be surprised by some of the inspired suggestions he offers up in one of his fleeting moments of interest.
I love your suggestions for a wedding. Before I get married I will come to you for advice! ((((hugs))))
