What is the best suggestion your future spouse has given regarding the wedding?

My FH has made a lot of good suggestions, but I think the best one was our final decision on the favors! We're doing chocolate bars from Newfoundland Chocolate Factory. He's from Newfoundland and it's one of the first gifts he ever got me - a small variety box of them from the flagship store in St. John when home visiting family.

It has a lot of meaning and, let's face it, it's darn good chocolate!

Although I'm doing majority or the planning he has had suggestions on everything. We've 100% made all decisions together I just go out and make them happen. So I can't really think of one specific suggestion he has made that was the best.

Thanks, Rachel! We are both discovering that we are not well coordinated - but at least we still have lots of time! I'm really looking forward to it all coming together!

View quoted message I've gotta say, I'm a little jealous haha. I suggested dancing lessons and I was very quickly told "no way"! That's such a fun little surprise for your guests!! I hope you have so much fun with it!

My FH suggested that we take dance lessons (I know, right???) and now we will be surprising everyone with a choreographed 1st dance! You guys are the ONLY ones I've told!

The venue! It's the only suggestion he's made, and I wasn't sure I was happy with it at first ...but it's actually made planning a LOT easier (we are getting married at the Pioneer Village). It dictated the theme and the decor for me. It's been a blessing

Although he hasn't exactly suggested anything he is extremely supportive of idea or anything I show him. (Unless he is just agreeing with anything I say lol)

It was my FH's idea to get jars of honey instead of DIY-ing our favors as I had originally planned. And like many other partners, it seems, he's always ready to calm me down when I start to freak out and remind me that at the end of the day, it's just a party, and the only thing that matters is that we're getting married

It was his idea to hire a Food Truck instead of a traditional caterer! Now this is our favourite detail about our wedding!

My man has been really good at reassuring me that it will all come together!

and also, last night I got frustrated with the decorations since we are getting closer to the date and haven't put down a deposit or really figured out what we want for centerpieces (we are renting them all) and he said he would handle everything so now I don't have to stress about it yay!

Just relax, baby!

He's been good at reminding me that at the end of the day other people's opinions don't matter and to focus on what we want. Everyone seems to have an opinion on your wedding whether you ask for it or not and he helps me to shrug off all those opinions and suggestions

He's been great at focusing on the after-fact: that we'll be married and on our honeymoon! He's focused more on planning that and our house renos, so I can focus more on the wedding side of things.

I've been constantly trying to figure out if everyone has their flights/accommodations/ferry booked. He has told me that I've given everyone more than plenty of notice and information. If they can't be responsible and book their stuff, it's not our problem. If they miss our wedding because they couldn't get organized, it's not our problem. This has definitely helped me, because ultimately it isn't my problem if they can't follow instructions.

Relax. I normally hate that word, especially when i'm stressed out. But when he says "relax, this is going to work out. And even if it doesn't, we still end up married in the end and that's what matters", he really just melts my heart

Not to care what others think! I'm so worried about how others will like our wedding but he keeps reminding me it's OUR day, and it should reflect us.

View quoted message Aruba is beautiful! My parents did their honeymoon there and my future sister in law too! Everyone loves it!!

To just be me and run with the wedding I want! Lots of opinions were coming at me, and FH told me to stand my ground and that he has my back if anyone tries to bulldoze what I want.

Our honeymoon! I’m pretty sure he was the one who suggested we go to Aruba, and I’m completely on board with it! He definitely convinced me that it’s going to be the right place to be ☺️

He is not a planner at all lol, so it's been a lot of me planning, and just making sure he agrees before deposits are put down.

We were talking about our cocktail hour and what we want to do. I was ok with picking the finger foods from the venue, but he's Italian, and goes " it's not a wedding without an antipasto bar" lol... So antipasto bar it is!

He’s had lots of good suggestions! He’s been really good with helping me make decisions because I’m super indecisive when I have too much choice.

ultimately, he reminds me our day is going to be amazing and that’s really all I need to hear.

It's our wedding- not to care what others think (specially when ordered wrong size of invites), not to worry if anyone is upset if they don't like anything. Just tells me to breath and not take it so personal. I have anxiety so he feels I take it more personally than others would and dwell on it way to long.
