I want a small and simple wedding and ring? Is there anything wrong with that?

As long as you are ALWAYS patient with him. Men, or at least me in particular, think we are stupid when it comes to this sort of thing. He may be so nervous trying to make the woman he loves happy, that he make make some really dumb mistakes. Just be there for him if he needs help, and give your honest opinion on anything he asks.
If my wife asked me to do it, I would be so terrified that we probably never would have had it.
Many of us guys think that a wedding is one of the most important days in a woman's life.
When I got married, I just kept giving my wife money and told her to do whatever she wanted to make her wedding perfect for her.

It's not wrong to ask the guy for help, but chances are he'll just be a regular guy and not be into all that, other than helping with major decisions! Hopefully you have family who will help you out with the planning.
Of course there's nothing wrong with wanting small and simple anything - the wedding is to be an expression of the two of you as a couple, for your family and close friends to celebrate your marriage!
Good luck to you!

No, not wrong to ask the guy to help. One of my friends, who just didn't do this stuff, had her guy arrange the wedding. They had a small wedding at his church (and just immediate family attended). Later in the evening, all of us friends and larger family attended what was more or less an open house party with lots of appetizers at his parents home. It was great and simple and cheap. And the most fun I've ever had at a wedding!

Not at all, some guys would love to help and may be nervous about butting in. Speaking as a guy, I personally didn't want to do anything more than show up and marry the woman I love. I gave honest opinions, but did not more or less than asked.
I would say most guys don't want to plan a thing and would just rather elope!
Nothing wrong with either

I barely knew anything about my wedding until we just kind of threw something together. It turned out great. I felt the same way you do.
We ended up with a free venue (boat dock out on the water of a pretty lake), a great dinner at a restaurant, and a small group of friends and family.
The dress was a few hundred bucks, the tux was rented, and the rings are titanium bands.
I even forgot to carry my flowers. I didn't even notice until someone asked if I was going to throw the bouquet. I was like, "Sure...where is it?" Turns out, it was sitting in a cooler with some juice. LOL
Have fun!

I think I would try to get a girl friend to help. You may get a lot more help than the guy.but yes I would ask him he may want to do his part. A small and simple wedding may not be as hard to do as you think
what we did was drive around till we seen a little chapel on the hill that was soo pretty we went in and inquired about getting married there for the whole thing the pastor charged us 50$
from there we got our license and went to the bridal shop bought already wrote out invitations and just added our date and typed the directions to the chapel on a computer then copied it and pasted it till it covered the page then copied them then cut them out and put in the invitations ,
small and simple just a few friends and family but yes get him to drive around and look for a small church or chapel and have him help cut out the directions and fill out the invitations
he should enjoy that too
oh yeah we made our own heart shaped cake too with a big rectangle cake on the bottom

Nope- I was exactly the same way- Simple ring, simple wedding, and happily married for 2 years (so far).
Thankfully my husband was willing to help plan things and we kept is SO simple and inexpensive-
The most important thing to us was that our family and friends were there- so we made invitations and invited them... There were few decorations, we made sure that the guy that was marrying us was there, the groomsmen wore dress shirts and dress pants, the bridesmaids wore dresses that they could wear again someday, and I was fortunate to have a great dressmaker make my dress... It was so LOW STRESS!!!!
The most important thing isn't the "right wedding" but rather marrying the "right person"!!!!
Best wishes to you.

believe me, i'm in the same situation. I don't really even know what i'm doing, so i ask my fiance his opinion on all my choices, because i want him to like the stuff i pick, and it's his wedding too! I was shocked even, when i went to show him pic's of dresses i tried on ( i showed him the bridal mag, not pic's of me in the dresses) and he acted very excited and wanted to guess which dresses i liked before i told him. You may be suprised with the fact that your fiance may want to pitch it on the work. Best wishes!

Why can't both of you be involved with the wedding; it's for BOTH of you? Keep it small and simple, if that's what you want. Best to both of you!

No nothing is wrong with asking your soon to be husband for help. After all, it is his wedding too!
