First look parent issues

I wanted to do a first look l, because i love the pictures that come out of them, but both of our parents have essentially brainwashed my FH into tradition and he’s now insisting that we spend 48 hours apart before the wedding and not seeing each other until I’m walking down the aisle D: I wish I had some advice to share, but I’ve got nothing.

My sister (MOH) is very traditional and hates the idea of first look photos. But that’s what we’re doing. I don’t want my pictures rushed and that’s that. Just tell your mom your reasoning for it and stand firm. It’s your wedding.

I would sit down and have a heart to heart with her. Me personally I would say hey now it is my wedding and my FH and I will do as we wish. My mother and fmil both expressed their opinions about a first look. My mother very vocal and my fmil very subtle. However ot is your day and your wedding you need to do what works best for you and your significant other. Best if luck

View Quoted Comment Good I'm so glad

My FHs dad has voiced that he thinks they are silly and he doesn't get it and it's allll about the moment of the bride walking down the isle when FHs bother got married earlier this year, but I don't think he'll fight against it or anything when we let them know that's what we're doing. In my opinion first looks just make things run so much smoother. For me, it is a big deal, even if he were to try and "fight against" us doing it or something, it would be worth it to fight for doing a first look. I just think it's really nice to have photos out of the way and be able to relax and know your cocktail our wont go over time or anything.
