In wanting my fiance to have some enthusiasm/involvement in planning our wedding?

Don't get me wrong - this is not enthusiasm for the actual getting married bit - this we are clear on and he def wants to do this which is why he asked

Its the HOW. And the long and the short of it is he doesn't know what he wants. Only a long list of things he doesn't want. And I am getting a bit fed up with his lack of positive in put.

From his POV he doesn't generally like weddings as he says he finds them all too similar and uniform and tedious. Which is of course his opinion and fine. But he has no suggestions as to what he wants to do AT ALL.

Am starting to feel a bit that he never comes up with anything positive. His latest is that I can plan the day I want (he imagines this to be big white wedding stylee) and he will go along with whatever I want. AIBU to feel upset that he does not say this with any good grace or even a smile? And any suggestions as to how to move forward?

TIA

Sorry 'fiance' - I previewed that too! Still can't do accents though...

ABetaDad, I get where you are coming from (despite being female!). I was never interested in being caught up in the hysteria, I just wanted to get married without the fuss and more or less that's how it happened .

I felt like vomiting looking at all those silly wedding mags in the newsagent, what a lot of twaddle...the things people buy into..
