Wedding book fun
I cut up some more magazines tonight because I hadn’t played with my wedding book in a while.
I added an invitations page with a couple of ideas on it. I tried to print out some flowers and a cake that I really like, but the printer is dying, just about out of ink.
James picked out a few boutineers that he liked. I love when he gets involved in stuff. He also saw some flowers that I was cutting out and said he really liked those, too. I don’t have the names of them right in front of me, but they’re something a little bit different from the usual roses.
But, of course, it wasn’t as easy as just picking out some stuff that he liked. He asked me what I thought of his choices. And I said, “It’s up to you. You’re the one who will be wearing it.”
I thought I was doing the right thing, the thing he has asked me to do: Let him have an opinion. But he thinks that I’m not helping him. He says he doesn’t know anything about this stuff and that he values my opinion.
I don’t know how to balance keeping him involved and letting him make choices with giving my opinion and help when he needs it. His reactions confuse me. He wants to have a say, but he wants my input.
We decided to set aside some time each week, probably Sunday nights, to just talk about wedding stuff. Hopefully that will help to resolve this issue. I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope.
