He loves you, it is true, but he thinks your relationship is great as it is, a paper and a signature do not mean anything. More than that, he does not understand why you need to spend money on a big party (just for the sake of it), something any woman would love to have but you...you want the whole package badly and want to make him understand that.
First of all when money is concerned, you need to write down all expenses.
Secondly, you want to sign papers because you want to have his name, you want to be misses not miss, plus you do not like an ''illegal'' relationship for the rest of your life.
It is a necessary formality, it is not like you handcuff him or get him imprisoned for the rest of his life.
About the event itself...you are a woman and any woman dreams about the wedding dress and saying ''I do!'' in front of the altar.
From the very beginning establish rules after the big event. When it comes to domestic chores, nobody is excused. The same with party time: both of you need to spend time with friends. He will go with his friends to play football, to have a beer and you will go with the girls to see a movie or do some shopping.
The most important thing is the fact that you are not chained to one another. He may be stressed out because of the changes that will appear after the wedding, so you need to set rules that will offer him the safety that there will not be major changes.
