DH didn't care about wedding details. Maybe because we eloped and had a ceremony/reception months later for our friends and fam.
I didn't care either and let my mom plan everything.

The only thing he cared about what the song I walked down the aisle to. "White as Snow" by Jon Foreman

He'd go places with me if I asked. He would not agree to a destination wedding

He didn't do a lot but he helped with some big decisions. He found the caterer!

He had complete control over the music and relinquished everything else to me. Oh and he also cared deeply about the cake {flavors, not design}.

He did his share! came to visit venues with me and also wedding photog. He came to tastings. He did tuxes and limo, etc. Let me do everything I wanted w everything else!

He had strong opinions about a few things, but mostly just let me run with whatever. Our engagement was only 3 months long so we didn't have the luxury of time to debate things.

Somewhat. He cared about venue and food, and he went with me on all the scouting trips for that stuff. Once venue was booked and menu was chosen, his primary job was music. We had an iPod reception and he put a ton of work into researching how to make good party playlists and picking our favorite songs and ordering them just right. Our music rocked He didn't care about much else otherwise-- decor and all that.

He cared more then I thought he would about certain things. And he made all of the phone calls, mainly because I hate making phone calls.

He had input for the cake flavors and the music during the ceremony and at the reception. He also went to all of our venue meetings and tastings and we decided on that together. All of the other stuff (invites, programs, etc) he had veto power if he hated it, but wasn't that involved beyond the big stuff.

He wanted to be heavily involved, which I would have rather him not! He thinks i would have spent an arm and a leg on things, when I probably would have saved a lot more than we spent if he didn't get involved.
He didn't, however, partake in writing thank you cards **thumbs down**

He just did something if I asked for help. I planned everything.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
He went to all vendor meetings with me. He was involved in the ceremony details, the reception space, and the photographer and pretty much let me have reigns on everything else!

He wanted a dance party. Other than that he let me do whatever I wanted.

He was really involved. He had opinions about everything (vendors, attire, music, etc), but I did any DIY myself.

I asked him what he was really interested in (music and cars) and those became his responsibility. Other than that, I just ran things past him for approval.

Lots of opinions from DH. Several friends thought he was exceptionally hands-on. I'd see Groomzilla come out once or twice.

It was really important to him to have a Catholic ceremony and he helped me with invitations and came to see venues with me. He had super strong opinions about people coming who we didn't know (family friends). It was in Spain though so he had to be heavily involved as we relied on his family to sort a lot of the paperwork and talk to the priest.

Super involved. We planned pretty much everything together, and he designed the invites. He's a designer by trade and the aesthetic was very important to him.

I told him when and where to meet our vendor at and he'd show up. Afterwards, he'd help decide. But i had to do the initial research first.
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
He would not agree to a destination wedding because it was important that EVERYONE see us get married. I wanted to head to a beach and do a reception later. Otherwise I pretty much had all control, he limited the number in our wedding party.

He let me decide the details for the most part (Things like the colours, the table decor, ect) but he was overall very involved in the planning.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
He got what he wanted because he only asked for a couple of things. The rest he left up to me. He didn't want to have it outside (he didn't want to "sweat his balls off") and he wanted traditional-ish vows.

He was in Afghanistan for most of the planning but he helped when he came home.
cantaloupe / 6171 posts
He was really involved. I did most of the groundwork/research and the diy projects, but he came to almost all of the meetings with vendors, and had strong opinions about a lot of the details (like, he even had stronger opinions about my dress than I expected!). He was in charge of the dj and he picked most of the food (I'm a vegetarian, so I only cared about the veg options).

He didn't care as much about the wedding (it was in my church because I wanted that, and he really didn't care about much...though he did help pick readings) but he was VERY involved in the reception (they were on two different days)
He booked the band and DJ, acquired all the alcohol (he was a bar manager so was able to get deals from reps), bartenders, linens, and helped a ton with preparing and setting up since we had to do that ourselves. He wanted to invite so many people, that my mom's farm was the only location available to us (we invited 500, about 280 came).
