My husband didn't get the concept of pintucked linens.
He swore I had them upside down and the seams shouldn't be shown.
I still make fun of him for it...

Lol, my hubby said the same thing about them! When I first said how much I loved pintucked linens he was like, "They look messed up!" After he saw the whole idea together he changed what he said and thought they looked "sick." :)
FI is still (quite seriously) pro-StormTrooper uniform as his outfit- to which I have vehemently said NOOOOOOOOOOOO
When we were looking at bands (music) online I said "oh well this one has tuxes included in their package" and he says "well that doesnt matter since everyone will be wearing polo shirts and khaki shorts anyway"
Umm... not so much at our Country Club/Golf Resort EVENING wedding!!!!!
Mineeeeee ants to wear a powder blue tuxedo...ala Dumb and Dumber. Thinks it will be hilairious. Not getting his way 
Got totally crushed when he realized that I was kidding about having a Pirate -Themed wedding.
He was shocked and dismayed to realize that I expected him to go with me to see the top contenders for potential reception venues, then asked if there was a complimentary Xbox for grooms to play while the bride looked around.

i laughed at my then FI's concept of what he thought wedding/vendor prices should be - he had no idea

Since we're having a morning wedding I was complaining because none of our local salons are open early enough for me to get my hair done. My FH's solution? Just go in the night before and have it done then! He was dead serious. I still laugh everytime I think about it... sometimes I wonder about his logic.
So, it's not exactly wedding related, but I decided I wanted to grow out my bangs some so I could style them sideways. I wanted to decide before the weedding which style I liked best. After a few weeks of the growing process, I asked my FI if he liked my bangs better longer or shorter. He studied my face for a moment and then asked, "What are bangs?"
Hahahaaha that is fantastic Soon2BeMarsC!
My guy suggested renting children to fulfill flower girl and ring bearer roles (we have no super young relatives)
He also suggested having a legit Bollywood concert 1. he's NORWEGIAN, which is hilarious enough and 2. he naively claimed that it would only cost a couple thousand dollars. Yeah, honey, probably more like a couple hundred thousand! Hehehe, he's so silly :)
Well It is between the following, maybe not knee slappers but thought I would contribute as well.
#1) Does not want me to book the venue/site for our garden wedding as he states, we can have it in out "future back yard" of the home he plans to buy in the near future.I added that I really did not wish to do so and that we need to plan. I stated that I really wanted a gazeebo or arch and that the cost to rent of tables, chairs and a tent would add up. His reply, seriosly " we will just get in good with a local church and borrow all the items" Not!! He is 100% serious and we argue about this a bit, also said he has a whole year! Does not get that it has to be booked! So on the invitation's I could just put, location future backyard?
#2) He does not want to wear a vest or any color (thus black and white) and a flower. His idea a bow tie and cumberbun-not certain of spelling of that? So sorta like rain man meets Forest Gump.
#3) I plan to have a flower girl and a ring bearer, he thinks we should make (his nephew) a flower boy!
#4) Not necessarily funny yet suggested I have his sister whom I have never met, and is really close to his mom (which is as warm as a iceburg, adn the personality of a rock) be one of my BM. The woman whom upon first meeting her, and going right to work cooking and cleaning the whole lovely weekend, told me I was using the wrong attatchment on her carpet.
At our couples shower I opened up our new crock pot, you know, the Rival 7-person crock pot. His reaction, that he said loud enough for people to hear, "Oh, that will be good for dip!"
Hahaha, we still laugh about that.
ha! these are all too funny! This isn't exactly something my FH did but when we were in Miami (his hometown) 2 weeks ago, we mentioned to one of his friends (not the sharpest tool in the shed) that we were getting engagement pictures taken the next day. Friend's response: "Wait, what? Aren't you already engaged? You're proposing again with a photographer??" HA! boys have no idea about these things...
On discussing color...him: "Can't we just have it be...blue?" me: what kind of blue, hon? Navy, Royal, Sky? him: "I don't know. Just regular blue."
After Fi, FMIL, and I had sat through our back to back meetings with the cake lady and florist, the florist proclaimed that she doesn't remember the last guy to sit all the way through the meeting, most "have an errand" or "need to go fill up on gas"
He was very upset knowing these options were available. 
@butterywaffles-- My FI loves your FI's idea about renting children. He thinks it would be better than having to have my sister's kids there. I can only shake my head.
@easterbaby: We're using one of our nephews as our "flower girl", but he'll be throwing leaves and feathers, so he'll be our "leaf boy". Hehe. Good thing he's only two, or else he probably wouldn't be very excited about it!
My FI insists on giving me names for our guest list like: Punk Rock Jim, John Dirty, The Count, Monty Carlo, etc. These are all his friends' "band" names. I have told him several times that I flat out refuse to address our invitations to someone named "T-Bag Tim". He doesn't understand why I have a problem with it. Sigh.
When I told my future hubby that I had bought my 3 veils he looked at me and said "are you returning 2 of them after you decide or something?" I am wearing a cathedral for the ceremony, a blusher for the ceremony and a elbow/fingertip length the whole time :)
These are hilarious! Mine's not quite as funny, but it makes me smile. :) We're trying to keep our budget under $10K (for 120 people) and he declared that the only things he really wants are a full sit down dinner, and an open bar. He didn't seem to think that it was asking for too much... After he learned how much those would cost, he changed his mind. :)
I told my FI before I accidentally found my dress that I was going to start looking for it in September. His reaction? "Why the heck are you looking a year in advance? What it you lose weight or something?"
These make me giggle! Just tonight I told FI he could start looking on the web for pics of bouts he might like. He said "What there is more than one kind?" He seemed to be under the impression all bouts were white. Boys are silly!
I imoulsively bought a dress, and new it wasn't the one as soon as I tried it on, but when I took it out so i could get pics of it he hid and wouldn't look at it. It was hilarious!
when i was thinking through what color our moms should wear, the first color he suggested was white! he had no idea that only the bride should wear white!
I was saying I needed new makeup brushes and I was complaining about the price. FI says "can't you just get, like, regular paint brushes?"
After we picked out my ring I suspected he had bought it but was waiting to give it to me after my brother's wedding. So a few nights after the wedding, I'm sitting on the couch doing my makeup. He walks in and gets on one knee and hands me a ring. Not THE ring. And says, will you? Then falls on the floor laughing. I wanted to kill him! But now it is something we laugh at because I really thought he was proposing.
My fiance is actually pretty (surprisingly) saavy on all this stuff. Or maybe its that he has as little clue about things as I do. He wasn't surprised on prices (not happy, but not surprised) and he actually gives a crap about the design of the cake and the decorations, sometimes even more so than I do.
But one concept I and his mother had a hard time convincing him was legitimate was that the groomsmen should all match in some way! He didn't understand why I thought that they should all get matching ties or vests or SOMETHING that is congruent to the yellow and orange dresses the bridesmaids are wearing. He was ready to let them pick purple, blue, whatever the heck they felt like. We finally got him to agree to tell them to all pick one specific yellow vest and tie. The suit itself has only a couple stipulations: black and no tails. Not that hard, but MAN it was like pulling teeth!!!
These are not as funny as everyone elses, but I thought I would chime in.
I was looking at wedding dresses one day and showing FI, asking him what he thinks. He usually just says, "i dunno" but we were looking at some really poofy ones and he said they look like giant marshmellows and some of them looked like wrinkled paper bags....he's so nice when it comes to this kind of stuff!
OH and when I showed him my birdcage veil, he said i looked like a pirate and now when I talk about the look to the wedding he always makes a pirate sound. "Arrrrr", even in front of my mom! Looks like im not wearing my birdcage veil!
My guy suggested renting children to fulfill flower girl and ring bearer roles (we have no super young relatives) I'm DYING!!!
FI is constantly shocked as to why we are doing anything "so far in advance"
Not engaged or planning (yet) but we've discussed likes and dislikes for weddings.
HE recently suggested 1) crowd surfing and 2) us singing a song together (neither of us are singers nor have good voices).
I hope he was kidding.
This morning we were talking about how the ceremony will work - who walks down the aisle when, etc. I said we will need to figure out how he is getting up front and he looked at me confused and said "aren't I just there waiting?" I said he still has to get "there" somehow!! He can't just appear!! But he didn't seem to understand. I am just picturing him standing there for 25 minutes or so as everybody comes in or just "appearing" before the ceremony! We will need to finish that conversation another time : )
Ugh, mine just seems to think his mom (who does not want us to get married) should be included on everything--like going to bridal shows with me and my mom!
So I asked my FI to go with me to pick up my Crenoline Skirt (I bought a used one for $30 and when I am done with it I can take it back in and get $15 back). He says sure. We get to the store and they go to the back to bring it out for me to try on, while we are waiting FI looks at me and very seriosly asks "baby, what is a Grimlin", I looked at him and smiled as I said honey that is the little monster that sits under my dress and bites anyone who gets to close. Then I almost fell over because he was not making a joke he really thought the clerk at the store was going to bring out a green thing that he was going to try and talk me out of.
BTW: Mine wanted to put all of the GM in White Tuxes and could not understand why that bothered me, so I told him I would buy a black dress. So then he says he will wear white. It took me weeks and phone call to both our mothers to talk him out of this. The boys are wearing black with White vests and ties.
I can't wait to see what the next thing will be..... He does get some credit, he did a great job helping me plan the ceremony and most of the ideas were his.
I decided to dye my hair a darker color using the ever popular at-home kits that I've been using for years. I decided to go from blonde to dark brown, and after dyeing it, I realized that the dark didn't go as dark as I thought it would since it had to cover light blonde. I showed my FI and said..."What do you think of my hair?" He said "I think it needs another coat."
This isn't paint, darlin. We can't just slap on another coat. Ah my funny dude.
cmk1215 - My FI did the same thing! He was just going to "be there!" I actually had to draw a map and say "ok, you get out of limo here...then eventually you will need to walk to HERE!"
Trying to explain Spanx to him was pretty funny also. And when I showed him the purely functional bra I would be wearing, he just kind of looked confused.
My fiance didn't know that he had to buy a wedding band! He's so adorably clueless.
The best was when my FI and I were talking about the ceremony. We'd already decided on the song I was going to walk down the aisle, too, and then he casually mentioned probably needing to pick some songs and readings for the beginning of the ceremony, before I walk down the aisle. I reminded him that I walk down the aisle at the BEGINNING of the ceremony and he got kind of confused and said, "Oh, I thought there was some other stuff that came first before that....I guess I haven't been to a wedding in a while...." I just about died laughing, imagining him starting the ceremony before I walked up the aisle, getting to the "I do's" and only then realizing that I wasn't up at the alter yet :-P. He was a bit embarrassed. Needless to say, I will indeed be walking down the aisle at the BEGINNING of the ceremony :-).
Oh, and I also had to talk him out of green for our bridesmaid dresses. I love green, but we're letting our bridesmaids pick whatever dress they want as long as it's the same color (brown), and I tried to explain that it would be really hard to make sure all the greens matched. He didn't quite get that concept and for several weeks afterwards, whenever he saw something green he'd point and say, "How about this green?"
