Spending the night before the wedding with your groom to be?

We are spending the night together like we always do and he's dropping me off at my aunt's in the morning so I can get ready with everyone. Honestly, following tradition doesn't decrease your chance of divorce any so why change who we are because of a silly tradition?

We had a destination wedding. We spent the night before together and we also got ready together. It was really relaxing and a lot of fun being able to spend time with each other before the wedding.

We are following tradition I guess mostly cause I wanted to have a slumber party with my bridesmaids who could stay in the hotel the night before. FH will also be staying at the hotel in another room.

We spent the night separately, him at our house with his daughter and me at my parents' house with my sister, but we worked out together the morning of and then he dropped his daughter with me so the girls could get ready together. We also had a first look.

We want to build up the anticipation so we are sleeping separate. After the rehearsal dinner he won't see me until I walk down the aisle.

We will be staying together but I'll be kicking him out in the AM so we can get ready. I can't sleep without him.

We'll be staying together at home. I know we'll both sleep best there so why change anything when we want to attempt to be as rested as possible!

I'm booking a hotel room and staying there with a friend of mine. It's not so much about "tradition" of not seeing each other before the wedding. But because my friend and I thought a "sleepover" would be a lot of fun the night before. We did it last year when she got married and had a good time just relaxing together. So we'll do it again this year

I feel like I should clarify my post a bit- People that don't follow tradition are just as likely to divorce as people that do, as we all know it depends on the marriage what ultimately happens. Anyway, I say my comment only because FH's mom is insisting we *HAVE* to follow tradition or we are doomed. Ummm hey lady, you've been divorced twice and supposedly followed every tradition in the book...

So anyway, ignore my crazy please. It's early.

We are staying separately. I mean, we live together now so it's not really like spending one night apart "sticks with tradition" but we just wanted it that way. I'll probably have my MOH or another friend stay with me in the hotel room, and he'll be at his parents' rental house.

Part of me likes the idea of the anticipation and excitement of seeing each other for the first time if we don't spend the night before together... However on the flipside, it seems silly to spend the extra money on an additional hotel room to only be separate a few hours anyway.

Are there any friends that one of you can bunk up with the night before, so you only need to get one room? I agree though, if it doesn't make logistical sense, don't worry about the tradition. It just works out for us that his parents have a house he can stay out anyways. We're getting married out of town too.

Our venue is about an hour from the house so we are staying a hotel the night before. He is staying in one room with his son, and I will have a room to myself. I will wake up and go to the venue to get ready likely before he is awake. I am ok with seeing him in the morning before I am ready, but if I do it will be because we ran into each other rather than planned it. I don't sleep as well without him, but I will have at least a few drinks at the rehearsal dinner so it should help.

It isn't that we are traditional, we are not. I like the idea of him having a night with just his son.

I'm leaving it up to FH he has a lot of out of town guests, he may want to stay with his family or friends while they are here. We are doing a first look so it's not like we're following tradition anyways

We are sleeping separately the night before. We are doing a first look before the ceremony though. I can't wait!

I'm sticking with the traditional that after midnight we will not see each other again until I walk down the aisle. We are having our wedding at an inn thats maybe 20ish minutes from us. So I will be staying at the inn the night before that way I am there for everything the next day. And my bridesmaids will be staying with me. And he will either stay at home or with his friends. Obviously it's all personal choice. Whatever you want and whatever makes you happy and comfortable.

We are sleeping separately the night before and possibly two nights before because he may have his bachelor party Thursday night. I like traditions but there are more reasons too. His groomsmen are staying at our hour the night before and since I have to be up early to get ready at my parents the next morning it makes sense to sleep there. I don't think either way is necessarily right or wrong, just what you want to do.

Sorry for the multiple posts...my computer spazzed out

*double post*

I'm sleeping at our place because it's closest to the venue and FH is going to his parents' house after the rehearsal dinner.
