Who's actually doing the wedding planning?

Who is the brains behind the operation? Who is steering the ship? Who is the mover and the shaker who is getting the planning work done? Is it you? Your planner? Your partner? Your parents?

Who is putting in the most hours to get this wedding planned?

    Me and my parents have done most of the planning, but I'm in charge of the whole operation!

    I feel like I i do the lions share but I'm always sending him or showing him my ideas and it feels like we decide together which to keep and which to discard. I'm sure there are some things that i do/ did that are not negotiable! Lol

    Me without a doubt. I've done all the research and contacting vendors, etc. and just told FH when and where we need to meet with people or make a payment and always asked his opinion (even if there was none, which was often lol) before making a decision. Now I'm starting to collect decor and make smaller decisions so I'm bouncing ideas off my bridesmaids, mom, and FMIL in addition to FH since they actually have opinions.

    Me me me! My FH helps when I ask and my bridesmaids are great for bouncing off ideas but they are the only ones who get input really. I have been adamant from the beginning that I am the one doing the planning!

    I'm the wedding planner. I discuss ideas with my partner, parents and moh, but I've been the one contacting vendors, booking appointments, and deciding the day schedule, decor, guest list, and other things.

    My partner wants to be consulted on financial matters and wants me to stay within our agreed upon budget but otherwise he has given me the control. I can be a control freak so I'm mostly happy to have the ability to plan everything.

    There's two problems I've run into so far that I need to sort out - if I should increase my guest list amount, which me, my parents and my moh think I should, but my partner doesn't want that (I'm having trouble narrowing it down and staying within our 50 person guest list), and where to hold the ceremony. My mom wants to host it at her acreage, but my dad, sister and fiance want it to be at the reception space because they don't believe there's enough parking space and that there's too many mosquitos at the acreage, and I can't increase the guest list if there's not enough parking at the ceremony space.

    Me for sure! I am the planner and the most organized in the group! Plus having an office job, it gives me more opportunity to plan things out on breaks! I just take everything to FH before finalizing things

    I did all the planning due to short tempered of husband telling vendors off easily. Everything was decided by myself as some were his decision to do. All in whole, the vision was approved and credited to me at then venue.

    I get his stamp of approval on everything but I do all the research and come up with most of the ideas.

    Me! I do all the background searching, quotes, picking up of material, we do some of it together or he just says yes. I do the errands and make sure all is paid and have it all organized.

    I do 100% of the research and have the last say. However, FH and I do discuss decisions together.
