Staying apart on for the night before the wedding?

We are staying in separate rooms at our venue in my home state. We've dated 6 years, lived together for 4. We are always keeping each other up by talking too much, and not getting up first thing in the morning as a result! For me, this decision is because I want to be able to get up and start getting ready asap for our brunch wedding.

We're superstitious theatre people, so we stayed apart.

I stayed home, which is also near where my parents were staying, and he went back to his parents' place, which was technically closer to the venue. I DID have to text him very briefly after midnight, which made all my superstitious nerve endings go wild, but it wasn't *seeing* each other.

I actually ended up in the bathroom in the venue as he and his BP and family came in, and my bridesman had to RUN ahead of them to get me back up the stairs (I wasn't yet in the dress, thankfully).

We were glad we did this, though, because the only part of wedding planning we'd kept a surprise was our clothing/appearance. It was really emotional to see him again after being apart all day (and really, longer, because we'd both had things to do separately before he left for his parents'). That said, our officiant/friend had to kindly ask us to step apart so he could conduct the ceremony - we were a BIT clingy.

We are staying apart! I'm not sure yet if FH is staying at our house or at his parents' house, but my step-daughter and I will be staying at my parents' house the night before. FH is a lot older than me (20 years difference) and he has never been married before, so it was important to him to stick to tradition.

We've been together for 7 years and, not gonna lie, I sleep so much better when we're together. So we're staying in the same room at our hotel the night before. I have hair and makeup pretty early, so I'll be leaving in the morning and we won't see each other until our first look later in the afternoon.

I think this is what we're going to do!! It would be weird to sleep apart, and he really wants us to sleep together the night before. I've been on the fence because we're doing hair & makeup early at my parents' house about 15 minutes away from the hotel, but I agree. We'll probably sleep better if we're together.

Since we're staying in the same hotel, he'll just sleep in a friend or family member's room while I stay in the suite! We're doing a first look, and because of that, he wanted to not see each other until then lol. We'll be carpooling with family members to the venue to get ready, so we won't see one another during that either!

I think this is what we're going to do as well... it would just be so strange to be separated at this point! Hair and make up will be in my room pretty early so he will have to leave but that will work out just fine, then we won't see each other until much later as well. Thank you!

We will be staying apart and won't be having a first look - so the first time we see each other will be at the alter.
