“Who? Wait, wha? You have a calligrapher?” Seriously, I think that was my response.
He coolly replied that he was doing “research for something” and was in contact with a calligrapher. Okie dokie. I have no idea what he is cooking up, but I must say, I’m excited. I’m also happy (and, at times, pleasantly surprised) he’s found ways throughout the planning process to involve himself. He lets me know what is important to him; and he is also honest if he is clueless about something or doesn’t particularly care. (i.e. If you ask him about the types of flowers for the centerpieces, his focus will begin to fade. But ask him about the food, and he’s back on track). All in all, it has worked well for us.
If this is a day that only comes “once in a lifetime” for the bride, the same is true for the groom. He has as much invested in this day as the bride does. It has taken me months of wading through a lot of “this is the bride’s day”-type comments from people to realize that, yes, this is my wedding day. But, it’s Mr. G’s day, too.
Has your fiance found ways to get involved with wedding planning? How so?

Sounds great to get a well written envelope! If you guys have time (and want to save some bucks), you can learn to do it yourselves as well! Sitting around with a favorite movie, some snacks, writing out envelopes will definately make a memory!
Sounds like you’ve got a great guy there. I’ve always believed it’s a “couple’s” day, not the “bride’s” day.

Oh – and just to help you keep perspective, while a perfectly written address is a lovely opening to a wedding invite – most folks don’t keep the envelope. 😉

Not only is that picture adorable but so is your future hubby! That is so awesome that he has a calligrapher! I am sure he was so proud of that and I am sure you just smiled from ear to ear at the thought of him being involved. So sweet!
