Wedding Superstition/Tradition: The Night Before The Wedding

No were notinterested in taylor our wedding planning

View Quoted Comment Haha, an April Fool's Day wedding sounds like a lot of fun! Hilarious that you're playing a prank on him during your first look, laughing will help ease the nerves. I agree that having not seen each other since the previous day, will make the first look even more special than it already is!

We got an Airbnb with multiple rooms even though it’s just us. So we’ll be in the same house but will sleep separately and get ready separately. Our wedding party will be getting ready with us as well. We won’t see each other until first look. Not because of tradition or superstition, just because it builds anticipation and I have to get up way earlier than he does. Plus this gives us time to spend with our bridesmaids and groomsmen and have that moment of getting ready with them leading up to first look and the big moment we’ve all been planning for.

He and I will be apart the night before

My fiancé and I are spending the night separately before our wedding day. It’s was a joint decision to follow this tradition.

View Quoted Comment I totally understand not wanting to spend the money on an extra hotel room! You bring up a good point about the added hassle of having to pack up everything and move (because knowing my luck, the rooms would also probably be on different floors and on opposite ends of the hotel, lol). My fiance and I felt similarly on this topic. Plus, I think I'd otherwise be a nervous wreck the night before our wedding if he weren't there with me, and staying together will help me feel a little more calm. Did you also change your mind on the first look? Or still waiting until the walk down the aisle?

View Quoted Comment This is similar to what my fiance and I are doing! We'll part ways after breakfast on the morning of the wedding, and won't see each other until our first look.

View Quoted Comment Very cool that you're following the tradition!

Yes it is similar but we decided not to do the first because my husband wanted to see me walking down the aisle. He wanted that to be his first look. Congrats on your wedding.

View Quoted Comment FH still really does not want to do a first look. With the change in our schedule though, it would be a lot more convenient to get a big portion of the photos and video out of the way before the ceremony; but it’s so sweet and romantic that he is still so excited to see me for the first time at the altar, that I also don’t want to rob him of that experience. However, this weekend I may have thought of an ingenious way to get our photos and video done before the ceremony, and still have him be surprised at the altar. Still working out the details, but I’m hopeful! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

We are staying together the night before, but mostly because we are doing a destination wedding and it’s silly to book 2 separate places for the night. We probably won’t see much of each other the next day though. I plan on hanging with my girls.

Definitely doing a first look!

We are planning on staying apart the night before.

Together! we're already living together so why change it up and add another wrench in the trench?!

View Quoted Comment The Airbnb is a good idea! Even though you'll be in separate rooms, you'll still be near each other. And I agree, it's quality time you can spend with your closest friends!

View Quoted Comment Very cool that you're following the tradition! Are you doing a first look before your ceremony? Or will the first time you see each other on the wedding day be at the altar?

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

Will definitely be spending the night together. I know we’re both going to anxious with excitement and we both know how to center each other.

We will be spending the night separate

Staying together.. like we have since we moved in together. We are a couple now… no need to play roles for a night. Besides we can go over last minute things together too!
