What do I do about planning a wedding when I won't see my fiance for over a year before the wedding. We met in South Korea where he's in the American Air Force and I was an EFL teacher. I'm leaving next week, and he'll be here until next May. Our wedding is in mid-June. He says he trusts my judgment and that he'll help with the guest list, but that it would be easier for me to do it cause we're getting married in my hometown and not his. Is it okay if I plan it without him and with the maid of honor, bridesmaids, etc.? What's the proper thing to do here? I want him involved in the planning, but it's almost impossible to do so.
Frankly, I think that most times the groom is not all that involved anyway.
What are your concerns? What are the things that you think you cannot do without his input?
If you are feeling overwhelmed enlist the help of a parent, bridesmaid, special friend, etc. I assume that your fiance has access to email or some sort of communication so if you have any questions you can write or call.
