Why are men so slow in doing anything you ask them to? I love my OH to bits, and i'd do anything for him, but i sometimes wonder why i'm the one getting stressed about the wedding and he's not. Infact, why is he causing me stress? Everything i ask him to do, it takes an age for him to get it done. I've told him i'm not having anything to do with the Groom side of things (Kilts etc), but find myself getting annoyed that he's made no progress with anything related to it when I do ask him how he's getting on, he just gives me this little grin and say's "i've not done anything yet..."
It took him 6 months to ask his uncle if he would play the acoustic guitar during our ceremony. - I asked him about this more times that i care to count, and even offered to do it for him but he said he would do it. Suppose i should be grateful that he did it at all.
When we got engaged, we asked a couple of his close friends to walk the bridesmaids down the aisle. One of them i don't really like that much, i find him to be a bit on the immature side, quite untrustworthy, very 'it's got to be about me' attitude and he's a horrible drunk too. (he threw a strop because one of our friends are getting married a week before his birthday)
So i asked my OH about 4 weeks ago to speak to them both and make sure that they were still up for the job of grooms men, and to make sure that we could count on the one of his friends that i don't like to be there and not f*** anything up, or try and make it all about him. Unsurprisingly the OH still hasn't done what i asked him to do and i'm starting to lose the plot with him. How is it so difficult to send a Facebook message to someone and organise a night to meet?
He still hasn't started looking at Kilt hire stuff. I know he's not going to physically book anything until September, but still, i'd rather he had a good idea of what he wanted, sooner rather than later because i know what he's like with remembering to do stuff. I know our wedding is about 6 and a half months away, but that means we have about 4 - 5 months to get all the important stuff ready, and given his track record, that's a couple of months short of his usual time line.
I just want to see him doing something that he says he's going to do when he says he'll do it, instead of it being several weeks down the line and i'm asking him how he's getting on and getting peeved because he hasn't done anything!!!
I'm maybe just a bit hormonal this week, but i really wish he would at least look like he's making some kind of effort in organising Our Day so his mother doesn't think it's me that's organising it and not letting him have anything to do with it.
Sigh (sorry for moaning)
