Men ... They just don't get it x

That's a very broad brush you're painting with there.

I'm sure that you ladies don't understand how us men feel a lot of the time either.

OK, this is a venus/mars issue isn't it? We don't know how they can NOT be excited, they don't understand how we can be SOOOOOOO excited. T

BH you have over a year, you're going to get bored if you organise everything now, so sit back and chill for a bit.

And AJ we know it's an unfair generalisation - the OP was obviously referrring to HER men, not ALL men (for the record my OH is actually more excited than me!)

Like Pigeons, I'm quite sure men think in Binary. 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1

?

My OH is quite meh about it, although i like to remind him when he's being lazy that it's his fault we're getting married so he should pick up the pace a bit!

Plus, OP, us brides do tend to get the bit by the teeth and get very forcussed on organising the wedding. Your OH is probably wondering where his girlfriend has gone to be replaced by some wedding-frenzied fiance. I agree with Jude that with over a year to go, you might need to sit back and enjoy being engaged or maybe consider whether you're being a bit too full on re the wedding so soon (I dunno, I'm not there with you, but from his point of view you might be a teensy bit too excited?!)

I also wonder if they're also very worried about letting you down... after all you've just said that it's got to be the best day of your life. They're probably/possibly feeling a little set up to fail if they don't get their participation or contributions right

My OH has shown a distinct lack of interest in the wedding and even honeymoon too. I think this is mainly due to the fact that its not until next June, when its closer to the time I'm sure he will perk up a bit (he better do anyway)

Sorry AJ, I do think your just an exception. Most men do not get it

I know I'm an oddball... but I guess that's why she loves me

I certainly wasnt saying that it's a bad thing. I wish my OH was more interested

My OH wasn't interested for a while because it was so far away and he didn't understand that some things do need booking waaaay in advance. He's getting a bit giddy now that things are coming together though ?

My OH isn't excited either and is just moaning about how much it's going to cost!! Kind of takes the wind out my sails. He says he'll get more excited after his boys holiday snowboarding Japan in Feb...... we'll see!

Thats unfair, AJ is not an exception, but maybe in the minority. But I think many brides who sign up to hitched do so because of the lack of support from their OH, family or friends. Some men definately DO get it. AJ is not the only groom here, which proves the point.

My OH is very interested in the whole thing - to the point of 'getting in the way' at times, but I would hate if he was a 'turn up in the day in whatever she wants me to wear' kind of bloke.
