Ad Revenue 2008

He’s getting frustrated with me "nagging" him about ideas. Is it just him being a man? Our wedding is scheduled for May 2010 and he think it’s waaaay too early to be planning. Let me not mention our barely there budget! We needed to start planning LAST YEAR!!! Any suggestions?
Let me clarify some things:
The only thing I’m concerned about at this point is the ceremony and reception venue and how we can save money in those areas(those are the only things I really need his input on right now)

And second (this is for the commented who asked if I’m nuts): FIRST OF ALL NO IM NOT! AND IF YOU READ CORRECTLY, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT WE’RE NOT AT OUR FINANCIAL BEST AND FOR US, THE EARLIER WE START THE BETTER! <READ THEN RE-READ =)

*Also I would never bore him with the colors and flowers portion, he already put that in my hands.

You’re not nuts, you’re smart. I’m not even engaged yet and I’m planning my whole wedding (as much as I can save the actual booking and whatnot) because I want to enjoy my engagement.

I think you should put it in perspective. Most men understand that the wedding is their soon to be wife’s day. Just hand him a piece of paper and say "look, this is all you have to do" (this should include typical groom stuff such as telling his men to get tuxes, picking out groomsmen, a best man, getting groomsmen gifts, and booking the honeymoon and the groom’s cake). Give him a few months to do the "man" stuff.

Do the bride stuff and ask what he likes and doesn’t like. Give him about 4 months on this. All the while save. In 4 months, set a date, see where you’ve come. Ask him what he thinks about the colors you picked out and blah blah blah and tell him what you think of the honeymoon. If he’s surprising you let him.
