Just need to vent! We had our first meeting with the venue last night and OMG.....FH was driving me nuts!!
He's left most of the planning (little things) up to me. So as we started going through the list, he was like, I wasn't consulted on this (linen/dinnerware); you have this already?? (moneybox), I don't like that (Kissing Game), I think this is stupid (picture of us) , I wanna do this (over 5 mins speech), I wanna do that (both seating chart & place cards), OMG!!!!!! I swear if it wasn't for the glass of wine I was having, I would have lost my S$%^!!!!!
First time he was "involved" in the conversation. I have mentioned little things and got a lack of real response. Suggestions were made for another kissing game - and he's like no don't want any of that - um well we can't have guests clink glass/flatware - if they chip I gotta pay for that. I think are game is amazing (kissing toss - toss the ping pong ball in the designated/coloured bowl and ring the bell for a kiss). Going ahead with this whether he likes it or not.
The moneybox and receiving table (polaroid camera & Wedding Mad Libs) - this is during cocktail hour; we won't even be a part of it. Need to keep the guests busy for the hour they are in there besides getting drunk.
Our picture - he hates the way he looks in pics - so we have a caricature that I was thinking of putting out. He shut that down asap! He's like no, none of the pics we have are decent WOW - wants to have new pics taken of us
Seating chart / cards - venue said have both and he caved lol
The speech - this is the one i'm having an issue with. He wants to say a few words, thanking specific people at the wedding (buddies) that have been there for him, supporting him. But for 5-10 mins??? No one wants to hear a 10 minute speech - I told him guests will be bored and start to lose interest if you babble. And specific people, i don't know, as a guest, i would be kinda offended - or is that just me??? Even the Owner said, ya that's quite long, you have to keep it to under 5 mins - we have a timeline - especially since we are doing speeches during dinner. Of course he is adamant about this one. Ok thank the buddies BUT end it by thanking all your guests cause without them there, the reception you really want would not be happening.
Am I the only one who has a significant other who has made comments that have left you with a WTF moment?? Trying contain my composure and let him have input.
Ok that felt good to get it off my chest
