This isn't really an "asking for advice" post. More like a "Isn't this funny/annoying? Who else experienced this" post to start a chat.
My FI is pretty picky when it comes to the wedding planning aspect. I had read all the typical stuff about how they don't want to plan and will just show up the day of looking a little bewildered. And, like most brides, I tried my hardest to get him involved. And he did the typical "whatever you want" thing. But oh no, that's not really the case. I tried saying "Okay, let's do brown, light blue and spring green" for the colors and he then he had all these opinions. Same with the music, the location, the reception. Which is fine except he doesn't actually help. He just sort of blurts out his opinion and then wanders off to go hide in his office. And when he actually has to do something(pick out groomsmen outfits) he waits until the absolute last minute(still no outfits for the groomsmen). I'm happy for his input, to be sure! At least he's trying.

Is this typical? Does your FI love to plan and has taken over? Does he hate it? What were you expecting compared to what actually happened during planning?
