The Night before your big day

We're doing a B&B wedding weekend and we live together so we'll spend the night, have breakfast together, then I'll go to guest farmhouse with bridesmaids to get ready and FH will stay in our room to get ready. Other than a pandemic pushing it a year later it's the perfect plan!

Thank you Yours will be too

After our rehearsal dinner, we hung out together but ultimately slept in separate hotel rooms. To be honest, it was nice being alone. I had been around tons of people days leading up to the wedding and I'm naturally an introvert, so it was SO nice to have my alone time.

We are staying together. We live together and both just sleep better when we are with each other.

We are renting a 15 bedroom house for the WP and a 5 bedroom house for our parents and some elder relatives to stay. We will stay the night together with the wedding party and have breakfast that morning together then him and the groomsmen will go to the 5 bedroom house and hang out there until the wedding. Our wedding is at 6:00 pm.

We spent the night before together! We had a large suite, so we were all unpacked & settled in anyway (we checked in Thursday for our Saturday wedding). We had decor/attire/etc. in our room and it was kind of a gathering place for family & wedding party too. We owned a house together & lived together prior so it seemed weird to stay apart. We had routines & slept way better in the same bed, woke up and had coffee together, then I kissed him goodbye at 8AM and saw him as I walked down the aisle at 5PM. I had to run a last minute errand that morning (at 6AM) and I was calm & relaxed the entire day, and I really believe it's because I spent the morning hours with my husband.

That sounds like a great plan sounds like tons of fun everyone together the night before.

We had a destination wedding. What we planned on doing is that my husband would stay in his friends room the night before the wedding. The night before we decided there was no reason to stay separate, especially b.c we were in Jamaica and we didn't want to miss out on any moments together. I'm so happy we decided to stay together the night before. We both woke up so excited and then went our separate ways. He took all his stuff to get ready with to his friends room. We ended up seeing each other about an hour after he left our room at breakfast lol. So even if we didn't stay together the night before we would have ended up seeing each other during breakfast. But after that we didn't see each other till I walked into the chapel. I really don't think staying apart is going to make it anymore exciting. You're going to be so excited after your hair and make up is done and your dress is on and all you can think about is the exact moment you're in.

The weekend of our wedding (wedding was Sunday) we rented a huge house for our immediate families which included my mother and sister, aunt and 3 cousins; my hubby's mom and dad, sister, bro-in law, grandma, uncle and cousin. Yes it was 15 of us in this super mega house about 15 minutes from our venue. Our venue was at least 2 hours from our home so we made it easier by being closer and together. The night before we ordered pizza and go to know the out of town family members better (aunt, cousins, grandma, uncle and cousin), the morning of we woke up ordered IHOP breakfast and my half left around 11 am to the venue to get ready at the bridal suit while my hubby stayed in the house with his family hanging out until it was time to get ready. They arrived about 1 hour before the ceremony and were there to greet our guests as they arrived. The night of our wedding we all left together and went back to the house, the nest day we left to our honeymoon alone. The rest of our family stayed an extra day at the rental house and then they went home. It was crazy, a lot of people expected us to get a hotel room by ourselves but we were about to be gone for a week on vacay alone and spent the extra time with our family who traveled to see us. Our honeymoon was all sorts of wonderful. Good Luck!

We are planning on after the rehearsal dinner she is going to stay with her mom and sisters and I will be going back to our place with my bridesmaids. So we will be apart about 18 hours before we see each other for the first look! I am excited by that idea and will spend the time getting last minuet things done and getting all ready for the big day! Plus I will definitely be needing some alone time to decompress and really mentally prepare for it all (I am a HUGE introvert).

We spent the night before apart- me at the hotel and him at home. Logistically this made more sense for us when getting ready the next morning with our respective parties.

(It also didn't hurt that our hotel comp'd us a free night ).

Yea we are staying apart the night before, we want that BIG moment of me walking down the aisle.
