"I have one girlfriend whose fiance is doing his internship for med school and has no time to help plan their May wedding. On the other hand, I just heard a story about a groom who planned the majority of his wedding because his bride-to-be worked during standard business hours (she was a school teacher, so it&amp;#x27;s not like she could just slip away). AP and I are caught somewhere in between.We tend to share responsibilities for most things--if anything, he does more around the house than I do--so it never occurred to me that he wouldn&amp;#x27;t want to be involved in the Big Day. I don&amp;#x27;t know if AP and I look this happy making decisions, but we try!Although we agreed to make all major decisions together, I did decide to delegate the researching of certain tasks to him. For instance, he has a much better grasp of the religious aspects of our ceremony, so I put him in charge of &amp;quot;all things Jewish.&amp;quot; That included securing a rabbi, scheduling all times to meet with said rabbi, finding/approving the chuppa and explaining different wedding traditions to me, so that we could make decisions together about what we wanted as a couple. I also gave him music duty. It&amp;#x27;s up to him to find a few bands or DJs that we can check out together. I&amp;#x27;ll keep you updated on how that goes... Photography and location I took on. So far, it&amp;#x27;s working for us. We update each other every day about the progress we&amp;#x27;ve made and plan our next steps. I give a lot of credit to brides (and grooms!) out there who do it on their own. There&amp;#x27;s more than enough work to go around! How involved is/was your fiance in planning your wedding? What tasks did you ask him to help with? How&amp;#x27;d he feel about it? Was there anything he really liked doing?
