Wedding Superstition/Tradition: The Night Before The Wedding

View Quoted Comment I think that's awesome that he wanted to see you for the first time when walking down the aisle! That makes for such a beautiful moment at the altar.

View Quoted Comment Ooh, hopefully your idea works out!! That would be awesome if you found a way to get the best of both worlds. My fingers are crossed that everything works out for you! 🤞🤞

View Quoted Comment This is similar to my fiance and me. We really didn't want to pay for two hotels rooms, and neither of us felt strongly enough about this tradition to follow it, so we will also be staying together the night before, eating breakfast together on our wedding day, and then going our separate ways until our first look.

View Quoted Comment It did. He wanted to be surprised. He was was grinning from ear to ear.

View Quoted Comment Very cool! That will turn out to be a beautiful moment for you both!

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

View Quoted Comment Lol, I haven't heard the "another wrench in the trench" saying before! My fiance and I had a similar thought, we didn't really see the point in us staying apart for that night. Plus, it'll save on the cost of an extra hotel room. Are you planning to do a first look? Or will the first time you see each other after getting ready on your wedding day be at the altar?

We are also staying together

View Quoted Comment This is part of the reason that my fiance and I are also staying together the night before our wedding! I know I'll be anxious about the next day, and being around him will help keep me calm.

View Quoted Comment Ooh, you bring up a good point about how staying together that night gives you time to go over any last minute details/tasks that need to be completed. I'm hoping we can get through everything well ahead of time, but I'm sure something will come up that we'll need to focus on the night before the wedding.

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

We are spending it together. We have a 1 year old so it’s easier that way.

Apart but only because me and my girls are having a girls weekend of pampering the days leading up to the wedding. So we’ll be hanging out in a hotel while my fiancé hangs with some of his guy friends that are coming from out of town. But we’ll be meeting up the morning of to have breakfast with our parents and family before we all go off to get ready.

Yes we are. We are living together and have for the last 8 plus years, and are getting married on our tenth year anniversary.

I’ve actually never heard of this tradition. We will be staying together! I’ll wake up early morning and head to the church to get ready with my family and bridesmaids while he gets ready with his groomsmen on a different side of the church. Then we will do 1st looks!

Staying apart! After our rehearsal dinner we will separate and no first look first time seeing each other at the ceremony. I just love the idea of waiting all day to lay eyes on each other…something special and romantic about it for me.

View Quoted Comment We will not be doing a first look but am considering doing a first touch before the ceremony for pictures. But our first look will be coming down the isle 🤗

I wish I wasn’t super superstitious because I would stay together the night before! But we’ll be apart and we’re deciding who gets to have the puppy that night 😆❤️

View Quoted Comment That totally makes sense!
