Has anyone gotten ready with their fiance?

kels, on March 23, 2016 at 3:22 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

I know it is tradition for the bride and groom to get ready separately before the wedding, and, until recently when first looks gained popularity, not see each other at all before the ceremony, but just out of curiosity, has anyone here gotten ready with their fiance?

    Awwww I think that sounds cute, actually. Maybe I should suggest that to my FH. I don't want him to see my dress until the day of, but I don't care about actual first look pictures.

    I think part of our first look is going to include me tying FH's tie for him, but we'll otherwise get dressed separately.

    We got ready together (out of convenience) and it was a blast. We also did a "first look" as part of our photo shoot. We were the only two who knew it was not the actual first glance. Hehe. The photos still show how captivated he was with me in that dress on our big day.

    We'll probably get dressed separately and do a first look. I want him to be surprised when he sees me!

    We plan to get ready together. Or photog is going to be there when I put on my dress, so his first time seeing my dress will be captured. Smiley smile

    We're being very traditional. I will not see him at all that day until I walk at the ceremony.

    I wanted to but FH said no to seeing each other at all before the ceremony so we're not. Haha

    I say go for it!!

    Personally I could give two sh*ts about etiquette and tradition. It's stifiling and no one should be telling you what to do. It's still going to be beautiful and romantic when he sees you coming down the aisle.

    I went the traditional way and didnt want to see him at all the day of the wedding until I was walking down the aisle. It wouldnt have even crossed my mind to get ready with my husband
