I was just wondering how much of a role did the groom play a part in planning your wedding? Did he actively participate or did he say just tell where to be and what to wear and he'll show up? How did you feel about it? Men feel free to answer.

He told me the date and time. I did everything else because he had no interest. I told him if he didn't want to help.. don't complain if you don't like anything. Turns out he liked everything i did. So i lucked out. good luck.

My fiance has actually been... well... perfect as usual (yeah i know, we're nauseating).
He has opinions on everything. he expresses things he doesnt like, but for the most part if he doesnt hate it says it works. He has taken hold of everything Groomy and Groomsmenish. (Tuxedos and such). He says he wants to take care of transportation (we're arguing on that one). He has opinions of dresses when i'm thrumbing through magazines, which is helpful as i have TOO many ideas.
Hes helped pick colors, favors, invitations and a lot of the little details. Its kinda helpful to have the person you're sharing "THE" day with, have an animated opinion, and offer ideas to the table. It really makes it feel more like OUR day, and not just something someone threw together for us.

My husband didn't have a big role in the planning. I think most men just want the woman to show up and get it over with. I talked to my husband about it, but ultimately, I made all the decisions.

My husband was very involved with the planning. He came to all the appointments and had a part in each decision except my dress. But of course not all men are that involved. You have to find the sensitive guys.

My husband helped some, but not a whole lot. For the most part he just gave me suggestions on decisions I couldn't make, and showed up when & where he was supposed to. He DID do a great job helping with keeping things organized on the day of. My family was driving me nuts with questions about it all, and he took over on some of it & really saved my sanity that day.

My fiance and I are planning our wedding together. He's been probably more active in the location planning than I have been but he's more familiar with what our area has to offer (not much!). We both have very similar tastes and ideas so we definitely agree on most of it. I think our only disagreement has been on the size of the wedding. I wanted something smaller and he wants something bigger. Hopefully it'll balance out considering most of our guests are out of towners.

My man is VERY involved in the planning as it is HIS day too!
I do not believe a wedding is ONLY the bride's day, that is just rubbish.
We both have made decisions and great ideas about our wedding day. I would not have it any other way.

He did participate quite well. Helps with the planning and everything except for the decorations and what to wear.

We're actually one of those freak couples that are planning it pretty much 50-50. Our colors are both our favorite colors (purple and brown), we both looked at engagement/wedding rings together, we both looked at the venues, he actually picked the date, and we both looked into the honeymoon.
It's been really nice that he's been involved as much as I am. I told him when he proposed that it wouldn't be just "my" day, it was a day of celebration between us and those that love us! He's really taken it to heart :)
Good luck :)

He cared that the colors weren't anything he hated (no pale blue, no pinks, no silver)
He cared about the food and that we had open bar.
He chose his outfit claiming it was only fair since he had no say over mine.
He did say he didn't want tall centerpieces and no branches like I wanted.
He didn't care where the reception was but he had a definate church in mind.
Other that that he really couldn't have cared less.

as involved as he wants to be. there is a reason they say its your day though. The cerimony is ususally more important to the bride so she usually makes most of the decisions. If you want his opinion ask, but make it a simple choice and listen to what he has to say. If you ask for his opinion make sure you really want it because if you ask and then get mad at the answer he will not want to help on the next decision.
