Here is a topic no bride or groom what to talk about but Peter Bruce Photo & video are here to help and have a check list.Question....Bickering more than usual? Not quite connecting between the sheets? Take our quiz to find out whether it's just prenuptial jitters or if you two should take some time to work things out before you walk down the aisle on your wedding day.

1. You come home from work with a fabulous idea for how to arrange the seating. How will your guy react?

"Honey, let me pour a glass of wine and then I’ll be ready to discuss."

"Let's talk about something else."

"Great! Whatever you want is what I want."

"Cool, lay it on me."

2. Now that you're engaged and planning a wedding, how often are do you fight?

More than usual, for sure!

All the time -- literally.

Fight with my shmoopie? Never!

We fight, but we always make up afterward.

3. When was the last time you two had a weekend when you didn't talk weddings?

Probably before we got engaged.

It's been years -- we talk about it every weekend and we talked about getting engaged all the time before then too

We hardly ever talk about it -- I'm planning the whole thing.

Recently. We definitely don't talk about it every second!

4. When people ask how the planning is going, what's your most likely (and honest) response?

"I just wish we were going to City Hall."

"I can't believe how much I'm handling by myself. Doesn't he have an opinion?"

"It's big fun! We should do this for a living!"

"It's harder than I thought, but as we work out each detail I feel like we're accomplishing something."

5. Is there a particular sore spot you just can't agree on?

We disagree about several major things -- like the size of the wedding and where we should have it!

The whole thing is one big sore spot.

We're in agreement about most of the details.

We have a couple of things that we can't work out but if we take a break, I think we'll figure out a compromise.

6. When you aren't in agreement on a wedding detail, how do you work it out?

I let him have his way, then grow a sizeable ulcer brooding over how unfair it is.

I sleep on the couch until he agrees that my niece is a better flower girl than his boss' daughter.

That's really not a problem for us.

We have a standoff, then ask someone else to help us figure out a tie-breaker.

7. Time to turn in! As you switch off the bedroom lights, you...

Ask if he remembered to call the string quartet for availability.

Toss and turn, worrying about details, as he snores happily away.

Say something like, "Three months until we can do this legally!"

Carefully avoid bringing wedding chitchat anywhere near your slumber-haven.

8. When you picture your life together after the wedding is over, what do you see?

I can't picture life after the wedding. I'm too consumed with details, details, details!

Twin coffins for after we've strangle each other over what kind of cake to have.

I see a lovely year of honeymoon bliss and more adventures.

Just like now -- we fight, but we also make up (and that's the good part).

We hope this was helpful. Please let me know

Cheers Peter Bruce photo & video
