Heck No...we will be taking all our photos without each other pre-ceremony and all with each other post-ceremony....because I said so. If anyone has a problem with that they I can think of something they can take a picture of!!!!

Yep, we will be seeing each other. We are doing pictures before the ceremony, so the guys are going to come and pick us girls up at the hotel to go to the picture site and we are going to have a little special time together quick before we go to pictures. I'm not all about the tradition of "ooh I can't see the groom before the ceremony."

I wanted to keep the suspense built and didn't want him to see me until I walked down the aisle to be his wife!! :)

Pat doesn't want to! After we get done with rehearsal dinner, he wants to not see me until the next day at 6! I don't know if I can do it!

Sean and I saw each other before the wedding. We woke up together, we had breakfast together, he took me to my bm's house, then once I got to the church he and I and our friends hung out some before getting ready.

No way! I want him to see me for the first time on the arm of my father walking toward him ready to be his wife for the rest of his life.

I stayed with my mother at the hotel the night before and they wouldn't even let me talk on the phone to him before the ceremony! To me, it wasn't the superstition part of it; it was the surprise part. I knew I would look a BAZILLION times better to him if he hadn't seen me all day! :)

I didnt want to see Nicholas for the fact of the surprise of is as Kelli said. His mom and grandmother said we couldnt even talk untill we met under the arch the next day. But with a friends help I spoke to him once before heading to bed.

One of the biggest things that I don't want to compromise at our wedding is that I do not want to see Cody beforehand. This is something I really feel strong about. I want the first time he sees me to be in my dress and walking down the aisle to become his wife. I think that feeling is going to be amazing! I'm also going to stay with my parents so that I won't be with him the night before either.

After the rehearsal dinner I will stay with my parents in their cabin and he will either go home or stay with his parents. He'll probably go home because some of our friends will be there. I'm not doing it because of supersition either. I just want that anticipation built up.

Nope!! Corey is a traditionalist and wants the first time we see each other to be when I walk down the aisle.

Jamie and I are spending the night before in a hotel away from everyone else, we get to have champagne breakfast in bed and help each other dress - we dont want anyone else around. Then we are being picked up by a horse and carriage and taken to our venue together - im looking fwd to that time alone before mayhem ensues!

I think I would be more relaxed if I could see him before hand. But, my mother will not allow it. So, if I see him, great! If not, that's fine too.

We are doing our rehersal dinner at a friend's house the night before the wedding. J, and the boys will be staying there. The girls and I will be going back to my house that night. My mother, sister, and I prob won't get any sleep that night. We all tend to not sleep when there is something big on our minds. The photographer will take individual pics prior to the wedding.

I just want Jason to be floored by how beautiful Amber looks as she is coming down the aisle!! :wub:

We both feel strongly about waiting until I walk down the aisle to see eachother. Its not that we wont be dying to see eachother, we just feel that for us, that moment would be best captured when those church doors open

Well, unless I kick him out of our house for the night we'll see each other in the morning. We are planning on having breakfast with our parents too.
But he won't see me in my dress and with my hair and make-up all done up until the wedding.

In traditional Jewish weddings, the bride and groom don't see each other for the entire WEEK before the wedding, but there's the veiling ceremony right before the actual wedding when they see each other for the first time.
I have NO idea how I'm going to survive a week. Or how that will work if we're living together, lol!!

I'm not superstitious in that I think its bad luck for FH to see me in my dress before but I kinda want to surprise him. I guess I'm still on the fence about it.

It's fairly likely we won't see each other... I don't think our families will allow it... but personally, I don't care much one way or another.

We're going to spend the night before the wedding apart. We're going to see each other right before the ceremony starts. We figure that we'll be more calm if we have some private time first.

We most likely won't but if we did, it wouldn't bother me. I think you still get that reaction you are looking for when you first walk down the aisle, whether or not you saw each other before or not. Besides, if you have a really great photographer, they will get a shot of when you first see each other both times!!

No he didn't see me until I walked down the aisle. He wanted it that way, which I liked too.

Nope, didn't see him. He and his friends were out golfing right up until it was time for them to do some pre-ceremony pics, so there wouldn't have been time.

Yes, we spent most of the morning together and rode over toegether along with the rest of the BP. We are best friends and I couldn't have imagined doing it any other way.

We won't see each other before the ceremony. I want the suspense to build-up!

Neither one of us wants to see the other before the ceremony. I think he's afraid I'll be too emotional or a bridezilla. I want the "wow factor" when I walk down the aisle and he sees me for the 1st time.

Umm yeah we'll see each other, but not necessarily because we have pics to take. We live together and will probably drive to the lodge together.

We spent the night together before our wedding and hung out at home that morning. My parents picked me up to go get ready and the next time I saw him was at the wedding.

He doesn't want to see me before the ceremony! Not even before I start to get ready. He's so traditional :p (and I'm not! :)

Haha, I didn't think it was really that big of a deal, but we were watching platinum weddings the other day and he flipped out when he saw them taking pictures before the ceremony. So that's a big fat no.

Nope. He is going to stay with his parents for a week before the wedding, so that my family (from NY) can stay at his house (where ceremony will be held)
He won't see me until I walk down the aisle.

he didn't see me before. :D

I voted maybe because we plan to see each other on the day (to decorate, etc), but not after we are dressed in the wedding clothes. He insists on not seeing the dress. We have an evening wedding so I couldn't imagine logistically not seeing each other.

Heck i woke up next to Him. :D
I started giggling and when He asked Me what was so funny. I said "Oh Wow!, We Get Married In A Few Hours. And I Didn't Cook The Sausages" :rofl:
Then We got up and went to Breakfast at the Hotel Restaurant.
But He did get ready with Me there. Then He left the room and went across the hallway to spend time with His Daughters and Grandson.
We spoke through the door once or twice. Then He left for the Registry Office.
He saw Me as i arrived because We had to go in together and fill out some paperwork.

We are taking most of our "romantics" pictures before the ceremony. I think it will be completely special to capture the first time we see eachother on camera! :)

Absolutely not! I didn't see him until the ceremony.

DH went to his parent's house the night before the wedding. That was about 7 pm. We seen each other again at the ceremony at 3 pm the next day. That was a long 20 hours!

While we saw each other the morning off the wedding and I ironed his suit shirt for him, he didn't see me in my dress and I didn't see him in his suit until I walked down the aisle! I didn't want to spoil the surprise for us.

We will probably see one another the night before at the rehearsal and dinner, but after that it will be as I'm walking down the aisle that he sees me next.
