Am I the only one not doing first look?

You are not alone. We aren't doing a first look. His first look will be when I walk down the aisle. Plenty of time for pics after the vows.

WE didn't do one. This was one of H only request and I agreed. We stayed apart the night before and the anticipation leading up to that moment was just amazing. Wouldn't change it for the world.

Absolutely not doing a first look. My FH and I joke around about him shedding a tear when I walk down the aisle. It's something about that raw moment of emotions that prevents me from wanting to do a first look. An hour is sufficient time to take your pictures, in my opinion. I have many photog friends that prefer the traditional route. The bridal party is often not ready which shortens the length of time to do the first look photos.

We didn't do first look. We also live together, but he spent the night a friend's house. We avoided seeing eachother all day, when he got home (backyard wedding) and he didn't see me until I was walking down the aisle. I've been married before, and this is his first. Even though we did a backyard wedding/bbq, I wanted him to have those moments. As soon as he saw me, he started crying. It didn't matter that it was in front of everybody, he gets anxiety about being center of attention and hates it.

I would like to but FH is adamant that we don't. He wants to see me in my dress etc. for the first time coming down the aisle. He hasn't fought me on much so he can have this one

We'll probably do separate party/family photos before the ceremony, just without seeing each other.

A first look was one of the 1st and smarted decisions we made. All photos were taken before the ceremony. I've been in bridal parties where we've all missed the entire cocktail hour. Nope ...

We aren't because the way our wedding day will be set up simply won't allow it. However, even if we could I wouldn't want too. I can honestly say that I'd never even heard of it before coming to wedding wire... I always thought that first moment walking down the aisle is a special part of the ceremony.

We're not doing one either and I know we won't regret it. I can't wait to see his face when he first sees me coming down the aisle. It's one of my favorite parts at weddings

You all make feel so much better! This has been the one thing FH wants and I'm not budging.

We are doing the first look because it's what will work for us as well. I wouldn't worry about what other's think, we want to get to cocktail hour sooner to mingle with our guests. As long as you have a cocktail hour it is perfectly fine not to do the first look.

Not doing a first look but will take a pic between a door holding hands

We are not doing one either. I want to do a little first look with my dad before the ceremony.

We're doing a first touch instead- he has been adamant he doesn't want to see me or know anything about my attire beforehand. So superstitious and romantic!

We aren't doing one either. I wouldn't mind if we did, but FH really didn't want to. People aren't going to leave after the ceremony, especially if there's food and alcohol. My photographer is going to take some pictures of us outside separately before the ceremony and then she'll only need 30-40 mins after the ceremony.

We aren't doing a first look nor are we sleeping together the night before. i'll be staying the night at my moms house with my bridesmaids. I really want to 'wow' him when he first sees me walk down the isle. Plus I want to get his reaction when he sees me for the first time.

It is a personal preference. We're just doing it because we want to enjoy cocktail hour and spend time with our guests. If you have food and drinks people should stay for your cocktail hour.

This is definitely a person choice issue. We are mainly doing one because of time. Our photographer said we can get a lot of our pictures out of the way early on if we do a first look, and then we can do family portraits during the cocktail hour. But it is honestly different for every couple. I personally never thought I would want to do a first look, but ended up agreeing to it.

I'm not

We aren't doing a first look. FH is completely against it. I don't really care either way.

At this time we are not doing one per FH's request. While I would really like an intimate moment with him that we capture on camera, I do understand he wants to see me walk down the aisle as the first look for him. I think it is fine whatever you choose to do.

Eta: One of my BFFs did a first look with her father while we were waiting in the bridal suite. It was a very special moment and I'm pretty sure all us cried. In case someone wanted to give it a try
