Staying apart on for the night before the wedding?

Our venue has a bunch of cabins that we rented out, so space wasn't an issue for us, but we decided to stay apart.

FH and I live together now, so it's not about that for us, but I'm using the night before to relax and prep - I am going full spa in the bridal suite the night before so I can be relaxed and not stressed.

Because we will also be doing a first look, it gave us additional time to build up excitement and anticipation of seeing each other.

Nothing quite compares to the feeling you get seeing your H2B for the first time at the alter, I feel that would be diminished a bit if you were to have already seen each other in the morning.

Staying together that night. We have a 4-year old as well so she'll be with us. My sister will be staying at the same hotel as us so we will separate when it's time to get ready and then do a first look and pictures before our wedding. I'm not traditional though nor am I superstitious so I would rather that night be about us as a family and then my daughter will stay with my sister so we can have our own time together alone.

Early days yet for me. But I'm planning on doing a sleepover with my bridesmaids, or at least some of them, the night before.

Hi, I just logged in to my account to get a few addresses I needed and wandered over here. I've been married for 5 years and I never regretted what we did. We had dinner just the two of us the night before and stayed together that night. The next morning we gave each other kisses and he went to another room in the hotel to get ready with the groomsmen while I got ready with my bridesmaids. Seeing each other while I was walking down the aisle was still special for both of us. I also felt like I had my best friend with me the night before. We were both excited and happy to be together that night. Whether you stay the night together or not, I would recommend to at least share a special moment alone with your loved one before the wedding. Even with the rehearsal, you can still plan something right after with him before going your separate ways for the night if that's what you decide.

My husband and I also found this to be hard to do. I feel I would not have been able to sleep well if we were apart. We ultimately decided to stay together that night. It was exciting and very nice for both of us. We were still nervous, but we snuggled and slept well. We woke up in the morning, hugged and kissed each other and changed in separate rooms with our bridal party. Walking down the aisle was still special for us. I don't regret that we did it that way. In fact, the only things I kind of regret from the wedding were the more traditional things I was not sure about before the wedding. If you're doubting some traditional things, I would say don't do it.
