    When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours
    we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying
    weirdness and call it love, true love.

    We live together, well he lives in my flat at the moment as he sold his house. We move into our new house once it's renovated in March hopefully. On the night before the wedding though I'm going to go and stay at my parents house in my old bedroom and we'll get ready and leave from there so will not see H2B after the late afternoon the day before until I walk down the aisle. So excited! I guess he'll stay in our house.

    I like the tradition of not seeing him before the wedding, so I will probably take over our house and he can stay with his parents haha :)
    Want to suprise him with the dress xx

    Hopefully apart the night before, and there is no way on Earth that he'll be seeing the dress(es) 'til the day! We won;t have an aisle so will just have to meet at the venue.

    We live together but I think the night before the wedding we will be apart, we're probably going to be together in the evening go for food and a few drinks with family and then part our ways, H2B will be staying at his mums house with his BM & I will be staying at home on my own.
    I don't want people fussing on me the night before so I'm quite happy to be on my own and have an early night.

    A big group of us are staying at a hotel the night before the wedding as we are not getting married in out home city. My H2b and I have booked seperate suites, so after a big family and close friends meal we will sleep seperately. I have one of my bridesmaids sharing with me and the others joining us in the morning so we can all get ready together before heading to the venue. I like the idea of my dress and hair etc being a suprise for him.

    Have you booked the cottage Siany? Its just that my friend is getting married at Southwood hall, and was told she could have one of their rooms for the night before, then she got a phonecall saying that a wedding had been booked for the day before hers and they had booked and payed deposits on all lodges and rooms so she could no longer have it. She has now had to spend £850 out for transport instead! Dont want that happening to you too! xxx

    We were over in Vegas and so my MoH came and stayed in our room and hubby took her room for the night. It was his stag do the day/night before and so I had my hair and make up trials with MoH and then we met our mums in the evening and went to a show/had dinner.
    So the last time I saw my fiancée was at about 9am the day before our wedding - I was without him for about 26 hours before the wedding.

    Ouch!! We haven't booked them yet, I want to wait & see how many of the bridal party want to stay overnight too & they will pay for their own rooms & guests will have a look at close b&bs. Your poor friend though :( that's very naughty! Really, they should of told the wedding party that the cottages are already booked for the previous night, but obviously they've just thought about the money from the actual wedding so cancelled your friend! Did they give her the deposit back?? Do you know which cottage she booked & how much she paid for a deposit? I suppose, if we do book the cottage, they can't turn us away last minute as the wedding the next day will be mine! Lol xx

    We got married at Gretna so stayed in the same hotel we were having for our reception. We paid for an extra single room the night before the wedding so that husband could sleep there - then the next morning he got ready in the best man's room. I stayed in the double room for both nights (night before and wedding night). The other rooms were taken up with wedding party and guests.

    No sorry Siany dont know how much she payed deposit wise but I think the cottage was £400 and that was for her, 4 bridesmaids, her mum and he brother (he is 7). The couple would only book the wedding if they could have all the accommodation too, so they told her she couldn't have it anymore! xxx

    We decided to stay together because we went to a wedding recently (first one my H2b has ever been to) and his mate, the groom was pacing and sweating and constantly looking at his watching cos my mate (the bride) was a few minutes late. You could physically see the relief in his whole body when the BM told him "she's here". Me and H2B were seated and he grabbed my hand and whispered please dont do that to me, id keel over" lol!

    Later that day at the reception the groom told h2b the million awful thoughts that had run through his head in just that couple of minutes, some as bad as that she had died and He felt he was close to a real panic moment because he realised it was so long they had not spoke for (24 hours) and when we got home that night he asked if i would mind us being together and sharing a bed as normal on the eve of our wedding day.

    H2b helped me choose my dress so no need to hide from him and i wanted to be with him anyway so perfect for us.

    I never saw mine on the morning. We had to book the room at the venue for the night before so that it was surely going to be ours whenever we wanted it on the day, so hubby stayed there the night as I was getting my nails done at home. I had to take my dress over in the morning but I texted him to say I was leaving home and that he could then make his way home so he could start getting sorted out so that we would not see each other.
