Wedding Superstition/Tradition: The Night Before The Wedding

View Quoted Comment We're doing the same!

We will also sleep separately. I want the excitement of not seeing him until I'm walking down. We're doing a destination but there will be enough people that either he can sleep with his best man, or if needed, we'll just get an extra room that night.

View Quoted Comment Awesome that you're following the tradition! I think that will make for one special moment at the altar, when you finally see each other on the day of your wedding.

We don’t live together so no we will be separated until the I do’s

View Quoted Comment Very cool that you're following the tradition! What other traditions are you incorporating into your wedding?

We will be spending the night together before the wedding.

We will be separate the night before

My Fiancé and I will be separate! We are getting married at a hotel and I have to be up early that morning to get ready plus we have a puppy at home who has separation anxiety, so we thought it would make the most sense for one of us to stay the night with our dog since she’ll be away from us the night of the wedding. Plus he requested to not have a first look so he can wait to fully see me when I’m walking down the aisle! Plus he snores really loud and I want to be able to sleep really well the night before 😂

View Quoted Comment This is what my fiance and I are doing as well! Are you doing a first look? Or will the first time you see each other after getting ready on your wedding day be at the altar?

View Quoted Comment Aww, I'm sure the puppy will love having at least one of you home with her that night! I also totally don't blame you for wanting to sleep as well as possible the night before the wedding.

We are staying sperately because it will make it more exciting to see him the next day because of how much we have missed each other

View Quoted Comment Staying separately will definitely make seeing each other on the wedding day more exciting! Awesome that you're following the tradition!

My fiancé and I are getting married on Friday the 13th (in October) so... we're already smiling in the face of superstitions, haha! We're throwing all superstitious traditions out the window. We've been waking up beside each other for the last 6 years, and we don't plan to stop that now. We'll be spending the night before together, waking up together, spending the morning of together, doing a first look, and approaching the reception with the plan to be "chained together" (on purpose and not literally) so we can actually spend OUR day together.

We are staying together. It’s an outdoor wedding at our farm. We’ll be setting up what we can the night before with the help of family, and finishing the rest the morning of the wedding. We’ll be separate for getting ready about 1.5 to 2 hours. There are traditions we are keeping (something old, something new, etc.), but we are not superstitious.

View Quoted Comment Very cool that you're throwing superstitions out the window, especially for a Friday The 13th wedding!

View Quoted Comment My fiance and I aren't superstitious either, so we'll also be staying together the night before our wedding. Very cool that your wedding will be at your farm!

I'm sticking to the tradition. It seems super exciting to me! Our wedding is on April fool's so I am pulling a prank on him for our first looks... Going to have one of my bridesmaid's husband dress up in drag and pretend to be me! I think it'll take the stress off a little too. But there's just something so exciting about spending the night apart then seeing each other all dolled up.

When we first started planning our destination wedding, we were adamant about staying separately the night before and not seeing each other the entire day of; including no first looks. But now that we have had to postpone twice (making our engagement 4 years long!), and have moved in together, I think the magic of that is gone LOL At this point I think we are just ready to get on with the wedding and save money where we can (ie, not drop the extra $600 for an additional hotel room for the groom to sleep in the night before, then get ready in the day of). Plus, we have really stressed that we want this to be a super chill event that we can enjoy and not stress over, so why have the groom pack up everything he needs to move into another hotel room the night before the wedding, then have to pack it all up and come back again?

We stayed together the night before and on the morning of the wedding. We eventually split so that we can get ready for the wedding.
