    Has anyone heard the one where it's meant to be bad lukc to be together the night before the wedding?

    We've booked separate hotel rooms for the night before. Though I do have to stress it's more to do with me wanting to make a big entrance for him than anything else.

    What's everyone else's plans for the night before?

    I was thinking that about the covers too :)

    Plus the fact I get a super king size bed to myself for the night, am so tempted to stick a do not disturb sign on the door and have a lie in as the wedding isn't until 17.00

    I'm staying at home and H2B is staying at his parents, i want to be able to get ready in the comfort of my own home and want him to be surprised when he see's me.

    I'm also having the bridesmaids stay overnight too so we can have a girly evening of pampering and face masks ready for the make up artist in the morning.

    I'm not superstitious i just want to wow him.

    We were in a hotel the night before the wedding - and had separate rooms. Because we were away from home with most of the guests in the same hotel, we all went to the local pub the night before. When we got back though, husband and I spent quite a long time in his room watching TV and talking - so we only finished up actually sleeping separately.

    I didn't see him the next morning though - as he had to move rooms so he could get ready with his brother (the best man) in his room - and my bm came into mine to get ready with me (rooms were very far apart lol).

    We'll be staying at separate hotels! My mum is booking me and my BMs in at crewe hall the night before for fantastic friday and the guys will be staying at the venue hotel. :) It's so I can have a car to take me there, not my idea though it was all my mums I said it would be nice but it's expensive to do. But as long as it's not me paying I said that was fine :p

    I must be crazy giving myself only 6 months!

    H2B is staying at home the night before while I stay at my aunts that way I know I'm gonna get a nice lie in as doubt I'll get much sleep through the night and a yummy cooked breakfast ready for when I wake up! Plus it's way bigger then our place so much more room to get everyone ready and a nice relaxing bath as our flat only has a shower :(

    The funny thing is we're actually in separate buildings - the executive suite (where I'll be) is in an extension that the hotel had built outside in the gardens, I'll find a few pics and put them in my photo albums :D

    the full bridal party and a couple of guests are all staying at the venue night before and night of the wedding. at this point im in my own single room and h2b is in a family room. i asked my moh but she will have 2 oung kids and its not fair to say ask her to leave them with hubby.

    I was worried about that with my MOH Louait as she has 3 young kids, she's travelling down to me on the Saturday before for the hen party going home the Sunday then travelling back down on the Tuesday with her eldest who will be 6 to stay with me and her partner is travelling down on the Wednesday (day of wedding) with her mum and dad with their other two children who will be 3 and 1 x

    does seem like a fair bit of travelling there nikki. holls will be 4 and carrick 1 and a bit and tbh i think she would rather stay with them. the rooms weve booked can be switched depending on how many left after guests have booked theres, mums even suggested i go in the family room and ma bro stays in the single room. im not really bothered about the whole superstition thing it was mil2b that was a bit funny bout it all!

    I hadn't even thought about it! But we did say to each other when watching dttb that it would be really hard not talking to each other on the wedding morning. I'd just want reassurance that everything's going to be ok. When you're used to talking to someone all the time to suddenly not is hard.x

    I stayed at my mum's house and Dan stayed at the hotel. Only becuase he wanted to spend the night apart, I would have been happy for him to stay at Mum's with me. My MOH said that when she got married they stayed in their house the night before, and even went to the church together.

    I think we'll probably go out for a meal with everyone and then head back to the hotel to set up decorations etc

    So far we have 6 of the rooms confirmed by Chris' family for the night before the wedding, and then I need to offer the rest of the rooms to my family, am really excited to have everyone there with us

    My h2b could go to his mum's, but his Friday nights, he likes to unwind after driving all week with a drink - there's no way that will be allowed at his mums!! He'll stay here with me, but I have a hair appointment at 8am near his mum's so I'll be dropping him there beforehand, then coming back to get ready and go separately so we still have the grand entrance :0)

    I didnt want to see him until I walk down the aisle, and if we had breakfast together, we would obviously see each other. So he is in one down the road with all the groomsmen, and will have breakfast there.

    I've booked a room in the hotel where we're getting married with my BM so all I have to do is walk downstairs! He'll go back to his parents' house and my parents can then stay at ours. The excitement of seeing each other all dressed up after a few hours apart makes it more exciting I think. I'm not superstitious but it's fun to play along!

    I think I'll pack myself a breakfast to have in my room - fruit and cereal bars probably - but as long as I eat something small, also if I have to go and check on the decorations I'll get someone to go to Chris and tell him to stay in his room lol
