Am I the only one not doing first look?

We are for multiple reasons, but it's an entirely personal choice. No one should say it's weird one way or another.

There is no wrong or right in this situation, but I love seeing how many people are choosing not to!

We aren't and that was one of the biggest things we were adamant about. We are throwing many "traditions" put the window, but we love the idea of being able to share that moment with our loved ones.

We aren't doing one. I want him to be surprised when I walk down the aisle.

We aren't doing one. You're definitely not alone on this!

It's a personal preference though, I'm just excited to see him at the end of the aisle!

I am not doing one. I want my FH not to see me til I walk down the aisle.

We're not doing one either, FH was strongly opposed to the idea. FMIL and I were discussing the option and FH shot it down immediately. Once he left the room FMIL says "you know he's gonna be bawling his eyes out up there, you ready for that?"

We will not be doing a first look. Instead we are doing something more like i am on one side of the door and he is on other. We would then hold hands and not see each other but just say a prayer before the ceremony starts.

@ZosoMew my FH told his mother she couldn't stay with us last month when she visited because my dress was in the guest room closet.

You are not alone! If your want to not have one and your logistics represent that, ignore those who disagree. This is a decision between you and your FH.

The only time I try to steer my couples to doing a First Look is when they want to engage in the cocktail hour and/or have daylight in their "together" images (Fall/Winter wedding). This is when you can't do both. It sounds like you guys know what you want, figured it out, and are united in that decision. It's a done deal! Ignore all other comments trying to convince you otherwise (although easier said than done).

Best wishes and congrats!

FH and I are not doing a first look. He's against the whole thing. I have him compromised on a first touch. We are going to write something special to each other, and reading them while we hold hands and get a picture that way.

... by the way, thanks for posting this. It's a nice reminder for me that sometimes it's not all about what's convenient the day of. Lorith posted an image of her hubby seeing her during the ceremony. It's a good one. Page 4.

I'm not doing one either, I am trying to keep it traditional.

Stick to your guns! Im not doing a first look either. People have tried to convince me otherwise, but i will not change my mind. People who go to a wedding expect time for pictures, so dont worry about others being impatient. Its your day!

I was thinking of taking pictures that hide us from each other not exactly a first look since we technically won't see each. Plus it will be a great surprise when we look back at them later. If anything I would get the shot with parents and bridesmaid out of the way then less pictures to take later. Maybe save some time but probably won't be too much lol..

I didn't do a first look. We did a last dance with just the two of us. I suggest finding some time in the day where you and your husband get a few minutes to yourselves. It doesn't have to be a first look. There are many ways to find that time.

We're not doing one either. We see each other every day as well but it's something about seeing your bride for the first time coming down the isle! Nothing like it!

Not doing one! Just don't want to

We aren't doing one. I just want that moment when I walk down the isle

I didn't read the rest of the comments, fyi.

I think this is totally a personal choice and up to you. We are doing one, because I don't want to leave my guests waiting and I have been in many situations where "just an hour" turns into two. I initially didn't want to do one at all. But I think doing a first look doesn't take away the magic of the walk down the aisle. And I'd rather have the first look as a private moment for the two of us (and the photographer! lol).

We are not doing one. We will be staying separate the night before to so that moment of walking down the aisle is pretty special. (Yup I miss him one night away so ill be anxious to see him) i think more than If I had already seen him the day of. I think pictures will be so beautiful of both bride and grooms face as they see eachother as you walk down.
