Wedding help! - Weddings

Jon and I will get married this next summer. But, that means i will have to plan the whole wedding alone. He's in Texas and possibly will be deployed soon (he should be back in time for the wedding) and i'm in Illinois. It's gonna be so hard picking everything out without him here! I mean...the whole wedding I'm going to have to do alone. All he's going to do is show up. Have any of you ladies done anything like this?? Any pointers?

In reality I think most women plan their wedding with out much input from the groom

. My best advice- get a planner, not a person planner but a book to work from. Having lists that you can work from, even if you aren't going to do everything on them exactly, is really helpful. Good luck!

I agree. He probably wouldn't have been much help anyways. It may be a blessing that he is gone (I don't mean deployed though).
