Any other FI feel this way????

when we first got engaged mine was at least a 15. he barely let me out of his sight, always had a firm grip on my hand, and ditched everyone so we could hang out day and night. now that time has worn on things have returned to normal but he's still about a 9 and i get some breathing room. [although the extra attention was nice!] with details and planning he is about a 6 or 7 but concerning the actual marriage he's a 9.

but i wouldn't think it's abnormal for a guy to be less... don't stress about it!

I just asked mine. He said that he is a 28 to be married, and a -4 about the wedding. That sounds about right.

Planning the Wedding he was 5-7- Depending the day.

Getting Married- 10 for sure, he is ready to be husband and wife

He also has started getting read giddy about going to Hawaii...its kinda cute

I'm at about a 3 or a 13, never anywhere in between (wedding, not a planner and realizing that our small destination wedding has blossomed to about 70 people, i thought we'd be lucky for 20)

He's really surprising me. I've left him totally out of anything because in the 7 years leading up to this it's always been "I hate weddings, I don't mind being married, but I don't want a wedding" but then when I do ask him a question, he gets super excited.

I'd probably put him at an 8, and I'm shocked about it. Probably a 10+ for the fun stuff — fishing trips, snorkel trips, parties at bars, etc. And shocking me at a solid 6 for the planning things. To the point where as we're heading into the home stretch, i've decided I'll go to him with more questions/for more input.

I think a guy wouldn't be a 10 for the planning unless that's in his nature anyway. He'd probably be excited over the party and the fun, but probably not the detail. The key is to leave the headachy details out of it, and let him have fun with the fun details. Sucks for you, but that way you'll get the enthusiasm you hope for!

I'd say fiance is at a 10 for all things involving food... cake tasting, menu planning, deciding if we're going to have a candy bar.. and all things involving entertainment. As for everything else, he's probably at a 3! He does get a lot more excited when I step down and let him make some of the decisions, but let's be honest, I can't step down for that long!!

Mine is at about a 50 or 60, haha. His dream his entire life was to grow up, get married and have a family so he's actually more excited than I am. I would have rather had a JOP than a big wedding but I wanted him to be happy too.

He's definitely a 10 (or higher) all the way, when it comes to getting married and having the actual wedding. He's very involved with the planning too

bridgeeboo · April 2010

I would definitely say a 10 to get married. . .he always knew I was "the one" since we met. The actually wedding he is really excited about, but with the stress from planning and family issues, I would say he is about an 8. He loves the planning we are able to do on our own, but once we include parents and siblings, he gets a lot less excited.
