Okay...I have to share this with you ladies!! I made it a point to have FH do "nothing" for this wedding. I basically told him to just show up. Now, keep in mind, he did come with me when we booked the venue, when we booked the photographer, the dj and the limo, when we did the taste tasting...however it was all me as far as who to book and when to go!!! I even bought his suit, shirt, tie, shoes and socks for him. Trying to make life simple and easy for both of us. So when we first started discussing what to get the BM and MOH (months ago), he said he wanted to make the BM a knife. (FH works with stainless steel, iron, etc.) and has made quite a few things that are actually on display in Ontario!!! So last night, 6 weeks before the wedding, I asked him how the knife was coming along. ARE YOU LADIES SITTING DOWN?????? He told me he hadn't made it yet and he wasn't in the mood to make it. WTF???? So I asked him, if I didn't ask you about this now, when were you going to tell me???? He said he would have some time. Now FH and I have never, ever, ever had an arguement or a disagreement. So last night I told him I was disappointed in him for not making that knife and for not telling me about it, until I asked. Well guess what, he is now playing victim this morning and "HE" is the one that is surprised by how I reacted last night and that he didn't deserve it!!! Holy cow...my blood pressure is at 6000! MEN!

| Lovemrk: I had a good chuckle out of your situation. In most cases men cannot be trusted to do assigned tasks. I gave FH only two tasks since February and only 1 has been done yet. I guess the only good thing is you asked him now, not the day before the wedding! This is one thing I don't think you should take away from him, so don't get involved. If his BM doesn't get a gift it will be a reflection on FH and not you.

Wow okay kinda nervous now because my dress is at the tailors and I won't see it until about a week before the wedding. He's also doing my bridesmaid dresses (getting created from scratch) but they'll be ready for their first fitting in August. I'm sure it will all be fine but it's hard considering the dress has been hanging in my parents closest for months now. I can't go try it on whenever I want anymore.  But otherwise the fitting went fine. Tuck in here, let out there (boo), hem and bussle. So I can't wait to see how it fits for the big day!Nicotina: I remember seeing that invitation a while ago when I was looking up ideas for invitations. I showed it to my mom and FH saying to both aren't you glad we didn't have to complete one like this! Was a great laugh. Lovemrk: big hugs. I know I keep giving FH a bunch of suggestions for gifts and he hasn't said ANYTHING about whether they are good ideas or if he wants to do it, etc. I know he will probably be at the mall the week before picking out something (thankfully there are some options he could pick up last minute). Men just don't seem to get that things can't always be done last minute and with a wedding things will always pop up that are important and need to get done so the sooner you can start something the better! Xaria: well said. I never thought of it that if the groom doesn't have a well thought out gift it reflects him rather then the couple. That took a little bit of a load off me.

What a wonderful day!

| Lovemrk: I'm sorry to hear that you and FH got into it over this. I understand what you mean. You've heard me lament about my FH and his lack of planning. If I had waited for him I still wouldn't have a DJ. Sometimes I think that we enable them to be such morons about this stuff. They think "why should I break a sweat - if I leave it long eneugh - she'll just do it for me." And they're right. They have gotten us trained perfectly! My FH does stuff like this all the time! Its a little passsive/agressive. He'll wait until I absolutley have no chance of NOT giving him what he wants before he tells me about it. Like telling me Saturday morning when I ask what he's up to today to tell me that he was "thinking" of going and spending the whole day with the guys. Of course this is just before one of the guys calls to see where he is! I still haven't given in on the honeymoon I am not doing it and I will never let him forget it if he doesn't do it!
