When did your H2B...

And breathe!?

You can book the suits without knowing who the best man/ushers are going to be, provided you know how many you need. They don't need to do the fittings till about 6 weeks before anyway, so it's fine.

My h2b is pretty much uninterested in the wedding plans, and I still don't have his final guest list (I want to send the invites in less than a month!). He says he doesn't get excited about things until they are right on top of him!

I think we are marrying the same man!!! ?, H2B just wants to open his wardrobe on the day and pick one of his suits (would save a lot of money but..NO!)

Why can't men just be excited...you would think it was a life sentence they were getting ready for! ?

I'm just obsessing...11yrs I been waiting on this and I want everything done now...I should just chill and enjoy ?

When are you getting married Carebear?

Ha ?

is all I can say

We get married 3 months today, have been engaged 2 1/2 years and he still hasnt chosen best man or a suit (for himself let alone anyone else) or a ring etc etc

This wedding wouldnt exist without me organising it to the ground

Orders for 2010!!?
I thought I was having a busy year! I would not worry too much about the suits yet. Suit styles, fabrics and colours will have changed alot come 2010. I have been buying my new hire stock for 2009 (buying now to arrive Autumn 200? and there are lots of new exciting things happening in hire suits over the next year. I have not even started to think about 2010 yet!

Most suit hire places will book 3-6 months in advance. I am quite lucky I get alot of bookings 9-10 months in advance, but I am in the minority I think.

I am sorry I can't give you any advice on the whole best man thing. But us guys can be a slow bunch with a different set of priorities to our female counterparts. I am sure he will make the correct decision when he feels ready.

I love shoes...I thought my man was bad ? ?, at least you got the whole day the way you wanted it ?

Marc, thank you for talking some sense into me, h2b actually said the same thing about the BM dresses but I liked the style and its what I wanted, I'm just worried incase I can't get a waist coat the same colour as my BM dresses but I'm sure purple never goes out of style ?

We get married on 20 September, so less than 5 months now. I want to send the invites on 20 May and we're moving house next week!!!!

H2b is forever telling me I need to turn off from the wedding stuff. If we're shopping and I see a nice vase I always have to see how much it is! If I wasn't always "turned on" as he puts it, we would be paying a lot more for this wedding, as it is, I have been sniffing out bargins for over a year!!!

He also told me a couple of months ago that he can't wait to go on honeymoon because it will be nice to get away after all the planning stress!!! The man has no idea ?

Oh, another point on the choosing the best man point!

My h2b chose his best man straight away, the day after he proposed. Then about 8 months on, realised he had made the wrong choice and asked another mate, but doesn't have the guts to tell his original choice that he wants someone else, so he's having 2 best men!!!!!! ?

Maybe taking his time could be a good thing in the long run ?

It's over two years away, there's no rush! And you really don't need to book suits now. They can easily be sorted 3-6 months before.

Debs,
Thats no problems, I am sure you will be fine finding the right colour waistcoats anyway. If you get stuck give me a ring and I will find it for you. ?

Marc

My H2B chose his best man after we got engaged back in 2003 and now the wedding is nearly here he's decided to ask someone else because over the years they've both got different jobs and aren't as close as they once were. I don't think he's got round to telling the first one though - he's probably hoping he's forgotten! We've ordered enough suits but until the first fitting he can easily change his mind about who to have.

You've got plenty of time to decide and a lot can happen in the meantime so I'd say you don't need to make any decisions like this for a while yet.

Ali ?)

My H2B already knew years before he even met me that his twin brother would be his best man. It's going to be funny putting them in identical suits!!

I really wouldn't worry about it yet. We're also getting married in 2010 and my H2B hasn't chosen his best man yet, although it's between two of his best friends. I'm not even going to think about suits for another year at the very least. You'll be fine!

From a mans point of view (for a change) I personally knew who my best man would be before i knew i was going to get married (even before i'd met lady_e)

I think i asked him pretty much the weekend after we got engaged.

There was never a choice - (for either of us) it was always going to be his best man from his first marriage! He's a lovely bloke & I could trust hinm not bring up H's first wedding, which he didn't ?

Marc I will keep that in mind, thanks again ?

H2B doesn't really have a "best" mate, he classes all his mates the same, he doesn't go out (must be his age (56) ? )

Ah well!, I have plenty to keep me going anyway ?, just can't wait for the 852 days to fly in ?

Best man knew he would be best man before I knew I would be a bride, he asked him first! He must have been confident id say yes!

I think maybe you are stressing a bit too much thou, if you are like this now what will you be like 3 months before - chill- It will all sort itself out x

Bloody hell, it's 2 years away. Calm down. ?

125days no best man yet i wish mine would choose one..... ??
