How much is a one way ticket to the wonderful, idealistic Planet Fairytale that YOU live on??

Hi,

'Planet Fairytale'? Don't be silly. This is real life.

Anyone who knowingly enters a marriage where they are not prepared to place 100% trust in their partner is asking for trouble......When I married my wife, we both made promises to each other which centred around trusting each other. Without making and keeping those promises, the marriage will fail. Simple

(In this day and age - i think anyone who places "100% trust" in someone else is asking for trouble alongside being beautifully naive ....but thats just me, living on Planet Prudent i suppose....) :cool:

More like Planet Selfish IMO. Why would anyone commit to spending the rest of their life with a husband/wife if they cannot commit 100% guaranteed trust with each other? Because the want for a lavish wedding outweighs the actual meaning of the wedding to some people, and without any thought of their spouse-to-be.....and usually results in an unhappy or failed marriage.

I would! But I'm not good with suprises! I twitter on to try to find out what I'm getting for Christmas/Birthdays enough! I don't think I'm too much of a control freak as I'm easy to please and don't mind what it is - but just don't like the not knowing bit!!!

I trust my OH completely, but would prefer to have some input on the honeymoon. I don't think it's about trust, it's a joint major holiday so I would like some say in where we were going, if it is worth the expense to fly business class or would we be better off spending more on the hotel etc.

I would trust my other half to do it no probs, in fact i would let him do it but as some1 else said - Id want to get involved to get the best deal lol

I have already told my DF that booking the honeymoon is his job, but to remember that my name on the booking needs to match my passport etc if we fly anywhere! Otherwise I can imagine arriving at the airport to be booked in as Mrs New-Husband when my passport still says Mrs ex-husband!!

Let him? I expected him to!

hmmm bit of a tough one my OH doesn't like holidays! But I'd give him the idea of what I want and then take it from there

Men can't be that stupid!

I'd be happy just to HAVE a honeymoon, so wouldn't really worry about where lol!

I let my hubby book our honeymoon, I had complete faith in him and knew that if he wasn't sure he would ask his parents who were an absolute godsend in helping us organise the wedding.

With him organising the honeymoon it was one less thing for me to stress about.

Before my own wedding I would have said yes,absolutely,I would love a surprise honeymoon and I would have trusted my other half to arrange it.
After the wedding though I would say no,if you want it done right or at all do it yourself.Thats in my own case though so you should know whether you can trust him to get it right,.
My husband had one job to do for our wedding,sort the reception music, and in the end he didnt do it.It was only to be downloads and cd,s of out favourite tunes from over the many years we have been together but we ended up having to use cd,s which were at the venue as he just didnt do it.He did take a cd along which happened to have on it the first dance song I wanted so that was fine at least.
So,no,I would not trust mine to organise a honeymoon.We didnt have a honeymoon but I have booked a little break away(minimoon) for early next year instead.
