Any other FI feel this way????

elektrik273 · April 2010

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being super excited, 1 being not even remotely excited and probably scared to death), how excited would you say your FI is to get married? I'm wondering if it's normal for a guy not to be at a 10....

MyNameIsNot · April 2010

He was a 10 to actually be married. He was about a 5 about the actual wedding up until about a week before.

laurenclaire1386 · April 2010

To get married or to have a wedding? FI is at a 10 for both, really.

megk8oz · April 2010

I'm not even trying to be cute, but on a scale of 1-10 to actually get married, DH was about a 15. Same scale for actual planning of the wedding it fluxated between the 5-7 range up until about a week before the wedding, then he hit 10.

BluValkyrie · April 2010

Mine is about a 9 or 10 on the scale; he has a lot of fun looking at things with me and giving his opinions. He's excited to go look at venues when we visit my parents in August.

It's completely different than friends of ours who is getting married this September. She's about a 9, he's about a 3; but we think that is because of the fact that he had been egaged before, and the ex-fiance was a complete b***h who never let him add anything to anything.

kissamary · April 2010

he's probably a..... 5-8 dependent upon what we are doing. he initially likes wedding ring browsing, solid 7, but after 30 min he is back to a 5. He's pretty consistent at looking at venues, solid 8. I think when the wedding gets really close he will be at about a 2 because he HATES large groups of people. I'm hoping when we actually get married he'll be at a 10 lol

tytbody · April 2010

He's probably at a 10 but his way of showing it is different then mine so, I'll say 10.. Heck, he asked me. So he has to be a 10

iamjoesgurl · April 2010

My DH was about a 2 for the actual wedding and a 10 to be married. He wanted to do it quietly but I wanted friends and family there so we had about 100 people. If we had gone to Vegas to get married, he would have been about an 8 for the actual wedding probably.

tytbody · April 2010

Lisa, I pm'd you. do they work?

whitneykaye87 · April 2010

FI has pretty much been a 10 the whole time, but his parents are coming in town in a couple weeks (my MOH is throwing us a couple's shower) and seeing them usually makes it jump to like 20 because I think their excitement rubs off on him.

kee80 · April 2010

He's really excited about actually being married, but not so much the wedding. I'd say 8 for marriage, 4 for wedding.

felicia220 · April 2010

FI is pretty excited about the wedding, although he only gets involved in things he is interested in such as food, music, after party...etc. But as for invites and centerpieces and flowers he is probably a zero on those. Couldn't care either way. But I would say actually being married probably around a 10, he keeps saying that he can't wait to call me "wife". But we have been together for 10 years so he had a lot of time to freak out about the whole "forever" thing, as did I.

thumperinfun · April 2010

My FI is about a 2. He does not care. He just wants to be married and probably would have preferred a courthouse

Jenni83 · April 2010

My Hubby was a 10 on getting married but about a 3 for helping me plan,My mom & I did most of the stuff like picking the invites,the flowers & etc.i always knew where i wanted to have my wedding so he pretty much didnt get to help pick the venue but he absolutly loved the place so it worked out well,the only thing he was super excited to help pick was the food menue other then that everyting i asked if he liked he said "yea thats great i love it".in the end he was so happy to be getting married and he was so happy about everything that i chose for the wedding so everything worked out perfect.

socialworksarah · April 2010

I would have to say he is at about a 15 for gettting married, and a -7 for planning.

That's a great combo.

SuMmErKuTiE · April 2010

FI is a 10 about getting married and the wedding itself, but about a 7 or 8 for the planning process. He feels I'm doing way too many DIY projects and could care less about all the little details but agrees that they'll be a nice memorable touch to our day. He's like a little kid though and very excited for the wedding, HM, and marriage afterwards.

hdekona · April 2010

My fiance goes back and forth... I thought his head was going to explode with excitement when he picked out my ring.

When I started thinking about colors, he dropped down to a 5.

When I told him that I spoke with a priest and that we were going to start going to church at 8am on sundays, he dropped to a 2.

When we went to the pharmacy to pick up my perscription, The pharmacist walked away after I told her my name (maiden). As soon as she was out of hearing range, my fiance shouted out his last name to correct me... so he was back to a 10.

It just depends on what we're talking about. I wouldn't be too discouraged unless he's in the bottom half of the scale pretty much all the time.

jessyca333 · April 2010

He is a 10 for getting married, and I'd say about 8 for the planning process. He's been pretty involved, which was surprising.

nhelene · April 2010

I'll give him an average of 7 in terms of planning. So far he's been a 10 about the rings and the music, and a 5 on just about anything else.

And apparently he hates any and all cake now.

[Deleted User] · April 2010

Up until about a week ago, he was like a 5. Now that we're 8 days away, he has shot to like a 15. He's nervous about taking and dancing in front of so many people, but he can't wait for the wedding (and honeymoon, of course).

But then, it's easy for HIM to be excited because I'M the one doing all the last-minute running around while he works and hangs out with his dad, who is coming into town Sunday.

quotequeen · April 2010

I don't think I'm even at a 10...

ks3pink · April 2010

Well i just asked and he said a 4! I thought maybe a 5 but oh well. Now he's explaining that he's losing his me time! lol!

mm2aa2 · April 2010

Mine is a 10 to get married for sure as far as the wedding he is a 10 for as well but for planning it he is at a 10 for me doing it. Lol - he has been really good whenever I tell him I need his help to take charge he does and he was really excited about certain parts - food, invites, his clothes, drinks, music - but favors, table decorations and flowers he was less interested in so I didn't force it.

PDXMartha · April 2010

I asked my fiance, he's an 11. I agree based on his excitement level. Plus, he's been a HUGE help in the entire planning process, too. Most of time he probably doesn't care between light orchid and wisteria and mist, but he gave his input, and never grudgingly, either.
He's been super excited since he gave me the ring and I accepted.
1 week left! We're traveling to my hometown this week, so we're both offiically on our "wedding vacation" now, even though we don't leave for a few days.

TaraandRichforever · April 2010

Mine says hes a 9.

kwrobertson · April 2010

when we first got engaged, we were both at a 10, but when it came down to picking the venue, guest list.....it went down to about a 3. but it went up with picking the menu, cake, etc

with a week to go, we're both at about a 5. ready to get this official and spend a week in mexico!!!

akg0053 · April 2010

I'll be totally honest, my FI is about a 20 to actually BE married. He's looking forward to married life so much.

As far as planning, he is actually in charge of quite a lot (music for both ceremony and reception, etc.) so he's actually excited. Probably about a 8 or so on average.

chloetutor · April 2010

10 for the reception and booze. -5 for the planning of said reception.

LoveWins88 · April 2010

About actually being married: Definitely a 10.

About the wedding: Roughly a 2, which is where I am as well.

We've had a really long engagement, and I'm totally burned out and less than excited. We agree with most things about our life together, and what we want our marriage to be. But we agree on nothing when it comes to what a wedding should be like. And almost any "compromise" makes the other unhappy, so it looks like one of us going to have to grin and bear it. That someone is me. But in the end, I will be married to my best friend, so it's worth it.

becgrose · April 2010

I honestly think my FI is more excited than I am! Don't get me wrong, I'm easily a 10 in excitement, but he might be an 11 or 12... hehe

tommyandy · April 2010

My FI views wedding planning to be right up there with taking out the trash.

Any other FI feel this way????
