  • My H2B is usually next to me, he's seen other peoples ideas and dresses, I think he appreciates this sort of information goes both ways. He knows most things about our wedding, the only secret thing is going to be the dress, and I'm going to encourage him to choose the mens outfits and keep that secret from me all (he is getting is a swatch with the colours of my dress - he knows it's two colours and the shade of the bridesmaid dresses)

    I've found showing him other peoples ideas is a good way to work out what sort of things he likes (or doesn't like!) without having a formal "wedding" talk so he contributes without even realising or getting bored! For example the dress is based on the style of ones he said look "awesome" (though he thinks I dismissed the style as too expensive - over £1k so hopefully he'll be surprised when I turn up wearing it as mine and 2 bridemaid dress are costing less than the ball park figure of the mens suits hire for 6)

    I only come on here during the week I spend all weekend with him so don't really come online much. But I show my mum your dresses and stuff ect ect buttttt saying that we have found our perfect venue and he is excited as me now! He was even talking best men, colours and boats yesterday!!

    I know it's a good while off but sometimes when you find something that looks so good it just gets you into the mood.

    My H2B is usually sat behind me on his own laptop blogging away on a music forum when he's not sorting music files out. He skits me a bit and does get a bit exasperated when I get all excited at somebody's pics and want him to look too...he just cant seem to get as enthusiastic as me! As far as talking about personal stuff goes (and I also visit the marriages/relationships forum) he has no worries - he knows exactly what online friendships can be like and can't say anything bad about it as the two of us met through an internet chat room :)
