    @Lorienne: My FMIL. She has been amazing.

    She lives up in Maine where we are getting married and her best friend (FI's godmother) is a big time caterer up there. So between FMIL and his godmother most of the big things were done in a month!

    Hands down my husband was.

    We made all (ok 95%) of decisions together. We worked on DIY projects together.

    Next would be a tie between my MOH (inching slightly ahead) and Best Man.

    My mom! She's the best! She's the only other person who has as much tireless enthusiasm for it as I do! And we have all the same ideas. Plus she's paying for it whihc is nice too!!

    My mom was the best!  She's exceptionally good at reading me, and seemed to make it her mission that I not get overwhelmed or stress myself into a tizzy.  She's awesome. :-)  Love my mom.

    My mother, by far. My fiance said he thinks she's more excited than we both are put together. LOL

    FI has been a big help but I would say my mom has probably helped the most. I'm an only child so she's totally into the whole wedding thing.

    Not really anyone....except my parents for paying. I really thought my mom would be way more into it than she is....oh well!

    My DH offered support but didn't have many suggestion. I did most of the planning with my mom.

    Definitely my mom. She's in Orlando, so she's able to meet with vendors and narrow it down to 1-2 for me to meet when I'm down so I'm not totally overwhelmed. Coming in a close second is my cousin. She's a wedding photographer and she's been super helpful in recommending good vendors.

    My husband was! He was my rock through the entire process! Second to him was my MOH and best friend who was getting married 2 weeks before me. So, we went through it all together, and it was so helpful to have her going through the same thing!

    My mom! She is my wedding planner. She knows me inside and out and knows my taste and what I like and finds amazing deals.

    My fiance and my bridesmaids have been so supportive, creative, and helpful throughout the planning process. I couldn't have done it without them (or Weddingbee)!

    My aunt most definitely, and then my dad is close behind! I would have lost my mind completely had it not been for her! Both of them have listened to me ramble about ideas or when I've been upset. My aunt though has been through every step with me in deciding colors, my dress, the location, just about everything. She's even helping me with all my DIY stuff.

    My mom, my cousin, and my MOH.  My mom is paying for the wedding, providing food and lodging for me, my FI, and FI's immediate family.  Additionally, she had to go talk to the caterer, venue, and florist - I'm halfway across the country from her AND the wedding.  My cousin volunteered to do the photography - for free!  I haven't seen her since Katrina (she lives in New Orleans), so it's a big surprise.  My MOH, despite having a job, school, and homeschooling two kids (one who is allergic to everything), has helped me figure out a lot of contingency plans.  My other BMs have been more hassle than anything (the wedding is 12 weeks away and they still haven't ordered or said when they plan to order their dresses), as has my brother (they had a month to do the tux fittings, and I couldn't get hold of him until a week before the deadline.  Three e-mails, four text messages, and 15 phone calls later...)

    I've been planning most of our wedding. Although if I have to include someone else, FI has been the biggest help! It is his wedding too Wink

    My Mom is super excited and so eager to go to bridal shows, shop for dresses, look at venues, meet with the priest, etc.  I am so grateful to have her to help me.  She talks to everyone about it and you'd be surprised about the deals/ideas/suggestions she gets from coworkers or friends or even people she strikes up conversation with at a doctor's appt. LoL

    I'd say Bees first. Everyone else is lacking. LOL. Really though, they are very busy. Weddingbee has been the major help, then I'd say FI and my sis (who lives a ways away).

    Mr. Hedgie... but does that count since it is his wedding too? I just know most guys are pretty hands off.
