do you attend wedding fairs with your fiance?

He was actually working a very serious work and school schedule and going through several health problems and serious family issues so he was never physically able to attend fairs with me. I did not have an event coordinator, either, I did the whole thing entirely by myself. My mother was kind enough to pay for it, so I had her input on cost effectiveness, but I planned and put together the whole thing by myself.

I went to several. the first one I went to was actually several years before we were even engaged, it was just on in town and he actually suggested that we have a look around to pass the time. it was fun. I love wedding fairs. when he was in hospital I went to one on my own, but we went to loads more together. it was just as much his day as it was mine, and we were both equal in involvement. a lot of people found it wierd that he chose his own clothes for the day, but I chose mine, why should I expect to tell him what to wear? it's JUST as much the grooms day as it is the bride, and any area he wants involvement in, he should be involved in. we both chose the locations, we both chose our own clothes, we both had input on flowers (I had the main bit there because I'm into flowers, and love Old English style roses, like the David Austen ones, in vintagey colours, but the florist wanted to give the men cream buttonholes and he insisted he wanted pinky ones to tone in with the burgundy velvet frock coat he chose, with a lovely red silk and gold embroidered waistcoat. he chose to have a collarless shirt with no tie or cravat. and he looked beyond stunning. I feel very sad that you often see people on wedding forums complaining that their fiance doesn't want to wear the colour waistcoat or cravat that they've chosen. it makes me wonder if they think that the day is all about them and not about the two of them as a couple. so my advice is to have fun planning together. if he's not interested in an area of planning, then do as you wish. if he expresses an opinion on something it probably matters to him, and you should give him plenty of input. my husband spent quite a lot on things for goodie bags for all the guests, like CDs with a selection of our favourite music and music from the key points of the day, kinder eggs (he gave me my engagement ring INSIDE a Kinder egg, so that's special) and absinthe miniatures with Drink Me labels, among all manner of other things. but it was something that he found really exciting and a great way of expressing himself on the day, and making it really personal to us. and because he was so excited by his ideas in this area, I told him just not to bankrupt us over it, but to do what he wanted. express his creativity through it. and he loved doing them. just remember, it's not just the brides day.
