Whats your thought about spending the WEDDING MORNING with my FH?

I was thinking of having early breakfast together on our wedding day, to help us enjoy our last minutes as singles and to help us relax a bit. I was also thinking of taking him with me to get a pedicure done since our wedding is planned to be on the sand and we are going to be barefoot. I'm gonna have my nails done with my bridesmaid and best friend. But wanna do something with my FH too. Any thoughts or ideas?

Nothing wrong with it but as far as the pedicure goes, lol, you have to ask him if he would mind :) Good luck!

I think you should do whatever you want. I personally did the usual, you can't see your groom until you are walking down the aisle. But there are no set rules any more.

Me and FH will be spending our wedding mornings together. The big wedding in Feb is starting at 5pm so we plan on spending the night together having a relaxing breakfast in bed and a spa and then he'll go off to get himself and the groomsmen ready while I have the girls in my room getting our hair and make up done. I dont think its bad luck to spend the morning together and because I stress so much itll be good to have him there to keep me calm.

my thoughts: dont do it. i think on your wedding day, you shouldnt see your FH untill you walk out to marry him. but maybe thats just me.

Do what you want. There are no rules you have to follow. As for the pedicure, convince him that it is not about pretty feet but relaxation.

we spent the night before the wedding together and therefore saw each other that morning. We split up to get ready and didn't see each other until the moment I walked down the aisle. Each couple is different and you should do what would make you 2 the happiest on your wedding day. Sounds like a good plan to me since you will spend some time together but he won't get to see you as a "bride" until you walk out....but I'm not superstitious either. It depends how much build up you want

I think on the day of the wedding you should not see each other until. You should get together the night before and exchange gifts and a little lone time than. And the next thing you know when you see him during the wedding it will be a different feeling.

Well, I ain't spending money at a one of the crappy hotels in town to spend the night and neither would my FH, and our parents houses will be full of guests (and his live 45 mins out of town) I know for a fact I won't sleep a wink because I never do when I'm not at home in bed with him..It's up to you my dear!

I personally want to spend the entire day with him - after all, that's what the wedding is all about, right? His parents are big on tradition though and may put up a fight, but I think we'll end up spending the morning with each other, getting ready seperate, and then having pictures done before the ceremony. If I had it my way we would just spend the entire day together.

Thanks for the comments ladies. I haven't slept with any man so I didnt mean that I would go over to his place (just to clear up) and I was thinking a bit like wowjunkie that I want to spend all my wedding day with him. Afterall we are planning to do the pictures together early to do the pictures while we are fresh and our smiles are strong. Having the pedicure togetehr would be to relax and he wouldnt see me all fixed up so it'll still be a surprise. Our wedding will be till 4 so it would be a LONG TIME TO NOT SEE HIM!!! it would also help me relax.... overall..

You hit the nail on the head, spend the time with him, with your photographer. You will get FAR, FAR, FAR better pictures if you don't try and squeeze everything into 45 minutes between the ceremony and reception. You will ALL be much better relaxed then. The whole "Bad luck" seeing each other before the wedding comes from arranged/forced marriages. I highly doubt that many people here are in an arranged marriage. In most cases these couples didn't even know/meet each other until they walked down the aisle. I always find it kind of interesting when people buy into the superstition and they don't even know the background to the legend!

If we had an evening wedding I'd probably end up hanging out with him and our families for breakfast in the morning. With our schedule we'll part ways after the rehearsal, he'll probably be frantically packing for the honeymoon that night knowing him while I'm finishing with flowers/cake/decorations or what not, then sleep in tiny bit before getting ready and meeting at the church for photos at 11am then split up while the guests arrive (eat a little something with our BMs and GMs) and meet back up at the alter then never leave each others side the rest of the day (or night)!

my wedding was at 5pm we spent all day together he watched me get my makeup done but wasnt allowed to see me get into my dress and the feeling was great walking down the aisle he knew what I looked like with the make up but didnt know how i looked all together with the dress jewlery and all. he still told me I looked beautiful when my dad gave me to him.

I think just the fact that I'm gonna be his Bride will make him all curious. and I wouldn't want him to see me all dressed up before the church to give him the full surprise but then again... if he sees me all fixed up before going up the altar he can be able to show his true emotions and words rather than to be quiet and nervous while receiving me.... Cuz I can already imagine him saying "DANG BABE.." now imagine how that would sound at a church ir with all the people seeing us? lol

Definately get him to get a pedicure. You can get some nice footsie shots and it would look nicer if his feet were fixed up. As for not seeing him that day, I'm leaning towards not.

Since we are already married it might seem silly but he wants us to not see each other. I want to spend the night together, have breakfast and then go our separate ways to get ready though I don't know if he will go for that. I agree with FMS. Neither one of us will sleep if we are not together. When we got married earlier this year at a little Bed and Breakfast and after he got ready he left the room then I got ready so it was still a surprise. When we have what I call the "real" wedding, I still want to see him that day though I don't want him to see my dress, hair etc.

Then maybe what I can do is have the pedicure a day before, send him breakfast and a little note on our wedding morning and not see him till picture sessions?

What would be so intimate as your last day as singles is to pray with your FH. There is nothing more gratifying than praying to God and thanking him for bring you both to this new level of life, a new beginning and hopefully strong starting point. Praying with him is the best.

You know what, I would have LOVED to have spent the morning of the wedding with my FH. I think it would have made everything all less nerve-wracking. He, however, is very traditional and wanted to wait until he saw me walking down the aisle, and he was very happy that he did. So maybe talk to your FH and see what he thinks about the whole thing. One compromise would be to do some stuff together that morning, but he can't see you as you are getting ready or once you are in your dress until the ceremony.

We did the same as Laura. Mike and I spent the night before enjoying each others company, cuddled, relaxed in the hot tub then when we woke up we joked about running off to the court house, got dressed and kissed good buy for now and the next time I saw him was when I was walking down the aisle. It made the day almost seem more special for me, but do what you want. I personally think if you have time for a quiet romantic breakfast that morning, do it. You will enjoy thinking about that for the rest of the day while you wait to see him again.

I don't know about any of the traditions but, Hopefully my bridesmaids and I are going to stay at a hotel the night before. The day before is our rehearsal dinner and I hope to wake up with him that morning go out and have a great breakfast with him and his family which will be staying with us. Then go with my girls to have mani's and pedi's and maybe a massage and facial. Then meet back up with FH for dinner and off to the hotel. The next day wedding. I hope this helps. I was told wedding day is going to be stressful anyway you look at it till after dinner and the party has started. Sop that's why we are spending a little time together the day before. I hope this helps

Some people are so hard core about the not seeing each other that it gets annoying. My sister and another friend were trying to tell me that we couldn't even talk on the phone or text past midnight! I thought that was ridiculous and ignored them.

Well talking is fine but the seeing part I'm not cool with. But to each their own right? Most of my friends let there husbands see their dresses and all before the wedding. MY one friend and her husband even got dressed together and I thought that was crazy...lol

I was planning on it, but my FH actually said he wanted to not see me until the ceremony once. Not sure if he remembers saying that though... lol
