Pp just need to rant

Miss-KEM, 31 January, 2016 at 13:32 Posted on Planning 0 4

Ok so OH is stressing me out at the minute.

We get married in June and he just has no urgency to sort things.

I've told him he needs to decide on suits and get booked in but i don't think he understands that it needs done. A few places have said you need to give as much motice as possible for peak time.

Also we still haven't chosen wedding rings and when i tell him we need to start looking he's just not interested.

I know we still have a few months until the wedding but we also have a lot going on over the next few months. I work full time during the week and he often works weekends so its a nightmare finding time to go.

I haven't even got onto the topic of choosing our vows and music yet.

Sorry just needed to vent my frustrations.

Any tips on getting him to get a move on please haha

    Stop telling him you need to sort things, and instead just do it - when you have a free day, tell him "we're going to look at wedding rings today" or "we're going to shop for suits today". If you're waiting for him to organise it, you'll wait until your dead, so do it yourself. You might think "why do I have to do everything, it's OUR wedding", but it's either that or wait until he's ready to do it. I know which I prefer!

    We got married on NYE and the suit shop said all the boys needed to come in the week before Christmas, try their suits on and they could take them away there and then. They had provided their measurements previously. So my Dad and brother went on the Monday, no bother. Husband decided he would arrange with the others for them to go together, and I kept asking him if he had made arrangements with them. Hope! He finally made arrangements on the evening of 22nd December to go on 23rd - by which time one of them couldn't make it due to work! If I could go back, I'd have organised it myself!

    Well i tried that last weekend - told him we needed to go ring shopping. Gets in the shop and he walks off and looks at watches.

    Feel like i'm hitting my head off a brick wall with him sometimes.

    My oh didn't see any urgency either. The night before we flew abroad, late night, he told me he couldn't sort my entrance music and I needed to chose something else. I thought it was all sorted! The only advise I can give is to say I'm sorry for nagging but this needs sorting so we are going to go and do it then we can relax. That way you won't turn into bridezilla through stress. Most men seem to think everyshop will have exactly what they need no matter how late they leave it. I think months last longer for men.

    Sort your own and leave him to do his? It's not like they have to match. I went shopping for, and bought, mine with my Mum, although he didn't have a wedding ring. Alternatively you could do it all online or through one of those companies that come to your house?

    Re. the suits I would tell him you're going to the shop, and if once you get there he won't focus on the job in hand, then choose it all yourself. Then message whoever needs suits and tell them to go get measured.

    I had the same with my OH and when we talked he said it was because he didn't know what to choose and despite me saying i did want him involved her bought I was just being nice. So what he suggested and has worked amazingly is a wedding meeting - all week I can be on hitched, Instagram, wedding obsessed loony but on a Tuesday night we pour a glass of wine and sit and go through things that need deciding for the wedding - he doesn't feel overwhelmed and then has had an input to things like appointment for rings etc!
