    We got engaged in October and my FI was like I want to be married in the next year. Well for some reason he thinks that wedding planning is planning for like a weekend BBQ and not a wedding he thought it could be done in like a weekend . UGH don't think so...

    lol Men! I keep trying to explain to mine that we need to start planning things now. Our wedding date is still over a year away, but it is going to be a popular date (11-11-11), and we live in a very small town. We need to find a venue now and book it, or else we might not have anywhere to get married at!
    At least he's opened up quite a bit on the subject.

    I'd say I've had a lot of "blah" moments. I've been engaged for 2 1/2 years, and while I have been wanting very badly to discuss wedding issues and start planning for the big day, the FI didn't want to tallk about it. He said we had "plenty of time". For the first year I couldn't even get him to set a date. Then he set some random date that I was unhappy with, and only recently compromised and agreed with the date I really wanted. He is a lot more open  to talk about the wedding now, but I do realize we have other things occuring in the here and now that need to be worked out (like me finding a job in the career of my choice, buying a car and getting some bills paid off so that he can quit his second job. We have a lot on our plate!

    Sounds like you did get lucky! None of the jobs here pay good unless you have a bachelors degree or higher, which neither of us has (yet- I'm still working my way through college.) Plus the slump in the economy, and the fact that it is VERY hard to get work in our town- we actually feel lucky that he has the two jobs and I have the current crap one I have. We're not poor but we're not rich- it just really sucks that my guy is tired all the time- and when he does have free time he definitely does not want to engage in wedding planning! :p

    We became engaged in October as well, and FI made the comment: "I don't get why you're planning this far out for a July wedding.  Let's enjoy being engaged and start planning closer to July, like in May." Ha!

    But, yeah, about a month ago, I was in a wedding planning rut, where I honestly didn't want to do a single thing for the wedding. It passes.

    Any way you can just break it down, do a little this weekend, and then take time to relax and go back during the week/next weekend?

    Seriously! My FI originally proclaimed May 19, 2012 as our wedding date and wouldn't budge. Then out of nowhere he declares that he still intends to marry me on Nov. 11, 2011- the date I really wanted. I'm like, seriously? Suddenly my wedding date, which was 2 years away, is only a little more than a year away. He doesn't think it makes a difference, but it really does! Men are so.... ugh, frustrating! :p

    I had the blah moment from about February until two weeks ago.  All the major planning was done, so it was a bunch of waiting.
