Did FH see your wedding dress before the wedding?

[hsteward90]

So I want to know if your FH saw your dress on or off of you before the wedding. Once I get mine I'm not going to let FH see it until I walk down the isle. I want it to be special, so only my mom and sisters will see if before the wedding.

[gwenshack]

It didn't matter to me, but DH didn't want to see it. I didn't think it was bad luck or anything - I just wanted to respect his wishes on the subject. I actually wanted him to help me pick a dress. :lafhard:

[dodgercpkl]

Anton's mom is VERY insistent that he not see or actually know anything about the dress until the day. I'm kinda ambivalent in that a part of me would like him to be in on that decision too, but part of me really wants to see his face when he sees me in this new outfit with hair/makeup etc done ya know?

So I voted no, he won't see the dress until I'm walking down the aisle. *hmmm... that reminds me that I need to remind my mom to move it to her closet before we leave for the states!*

Mine was on a Tailors Dummy in the spare room right next to DH's PC. It was covered in a sheet.
He got a glimpse of the colour, but not the design.

He didn't see me wearing it until i got out of the car at the Registry Office and walked towards him. ;)

I voted "I haven't decided yet." He probably will see it before...but I would prefer for him not to. We will probably be driving to our wedding together as we are doing a small "destination" beach wedding. No need for exta cars and my family's vehicles will all be packed for their "other vacation" that they will be half way to...and his family will be carpooling like they always do!

[uptowngirl]

I voted yes...he saw the design, and pictures of the finished dress before the wedding day. We also did our pictures before the ceremony and we walked down the aisle together, so he saw me on the day of the wedding way before the actual ceremony.

[Lasko@~]

He will not! Infact we won't see eachother the night before the wedding. Its hard because he is my bestie and I want to share everything with him. But the way I see it we already live together and have for some time, at this point I would have to wear a clown costume to get a reaction from him because he sees me get dresses and undressed everyday. I want to see the look on his face when the doors open and he misses me and has never seen me look so beautiful! I want him to spend the ceremony wishing he could just steal one kiss!! ;)

[jennybaby]

Nope. We're being traditional. Once we leave rehearsal dinner, I'll be back staying with whoever I've been staying with (we're getting married in Buffalo and so about a month before I'll be up there staying with my family) and he'll be either at our new home (if we move there) or a hotel (if we aren't moving there). We won't see each other until I walk down the aisle and he'll see my dress for the first time!

[WBandMe]

Nope, he didn't see it until I came down the aisle. It was hanging on a ceiling hook at my mom's house for awhile so he saw the bag--in fact I think he even helped me move it once. But all he knew was that it was heavy! :)

[Katie-ryn]

Yes. He helped me pick it out. His opinion matters the most to me. We'll be doing pics before the ceremony, as well.

We're about as untraditional and non-superstitious as you can get.

[ChristineLS]

Well, it was my mom's dress...

So he was there when I tried it on, helped me measure it to figure out how much needed to be taken off, took pictures of me in it to show his mother so she had an idea... I mean, those were things I couldn't really do on my own. I mean, he'd seen pictures of my mother in it too, so it would have been kind of silly to conceal it, since he'd already known what it looked like :)

I saw my wife's dress a few days before the wedding, accidentally mind you. I didn't tell her until well after the wedding. Needless to say she looked beautiful.:yesnod:

[MrsDM]

Nope! Didn't see it until I walked down the aisle towards him. In fact, I even managed to keep it from him living in the same house!

[hmz819]

Nope Matt will not see my dress before we marry. I am going to ask my BF if I can borrow one of her closets to store the dress in so that there is no chance of him seeing it.

I did ask if he had an opinion on what kind of dress I got and he said nothing too poofy.

[sandy03]

I voted no because he didn't see me in my dress until I came down the aisle, but i don't know whether or not he saw the design. I posted pictures on my journal here and he may have peeked at those. I was showing it to his mom and he tried to come into the room, but she blocked him. He may have caught a glimpse of it, but I doubt it was enough to know what it actually looked like.

[Docsgirl]

I gave him the option of seeing it, but we had already been married for 10 months before we had the wedding. He chose not to, because he wanted the surprise element.

[pinkbride]

No, he wont see the finished product, he has seen the skirt part though, im a bit bummed about that, I opened an email and it was there on the dressmakers manikin when fh was next to me, but it looks totaly different on i think,... i dont know if he got the full size of it on the email haha x

[firespirit]

We took our pictures before the wedding because we had the museum to ourselves then. I'm really glad we were able to do that otherwise people would have been in the background of all our pics.

[ksherlin]

Ha this is tough for me! I tell him everything (sometimes without even meaning to). I keep wanting to show him gowns and I am sure it will be the same after I buy. I have to keep myself from it!:yesnod:

[bright_eyes]

definitely absolutely not! I'd die if he did. Its sooo important to me that he doesn't. I don't even let my parents talk about my dress in front of him (yeah I know I am being a little OCD about this). We will not see each other from rehearsal dinner to the actual ceremony.

[Dani]

DH did see the dress, we had a destination wedding and were getting ready in the same hotel room. However, we had it in the house for MONTHS and drove it across country and he only saw the bag it was in.

[f77g4]

No as far as I know anyways he didn't see it until I was walking down the aisle. I had asked him if there was anything specific he liked/didn't like and tried to abide by those (no long train, nothing really pouffy, etc). I think he was aware that there was a turquoise sash though since I went out of my way to buy him a turquoise tie.
