Tasks to be done by individuals

Katherine, 21 November, 2023 at 21:28 Posted on Planning 1 1
I discussed with my groom, I felt it important to inject our individuality into things and it would be nice to do stuff like make invitations together
Tonight he has insisted he has no individual tasks and that we should do things seperatly
I told him his groomsmen, what they wear and how they look is his choice. The same with my bridal party But everything else is kind of joint, if he doesn't want to partake in decisions or just approve ideas then that's his perogative just like I can. But if he wants to get involved then he can but he can't cut me out

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but you sound as if you have very set ideas on how a wedding is planned which your partner doesn't seem to agree with - you have decided that apart from your own outfits and those of the bridal party, every other decision must be made jointly - but that in itself is not a joint decision if your OH does not agree with it! Also, you commented on your other post about your OH wearing a buttonhole so that he 'ties in' with the wedding party and presents a 'cohesive' look - obviously, this decision that the bride and groom need to 'tie in' with the bridal party and look cohesive has not been a joint decision since your OH doesn't agree with it!

    It sounds as if you are both struggling a bit with communication and compromise. Can I ask if you have done any kind of marriage prep or pre-marriage counselling? If not, I would really encourage you to make this a priority. I know it's not nearly as much fun as designing wedding invitations or picking venues, but honestly, it will be totally worth it in the long run. So many marriages fail over poor communication, so it really is worth putting some time and effort into learning how to communicate (and disagree!) effectively, how to compromise effectively when your opinions differ and how to make sure you are on the same page on key issues as soon as possible. You will save yourself SO much stress and hassle in the long term - as well as hopefully having a smoother wedding-planning experience.
