Traditions / Superstitions: Opinions on seeing h2b on the day?

1 to 38 of 38

- CommentAuthorMel D
Hi everyone,
Both my h2b and I want to go to our venue in the morning of our wedding to make sure everything is set up and looks ok. However, he ssems to think that we shouldn't see each other at all on the day. What are your opinions on this? I think it is ok, as long as we are in "normal" clothes, and not our wedding gear.

Got married Sat 28/05/2011

- CommentAuthor~*~ Becca ~*~
i stuck to tradition ...we had a quick last kiss on the night before (we were all stayin at the venue) as he didnt get there til late after finishing work late...then didnt see him til i walked into the ceremony room..had my bridesmaid nip to his room in the morning as he needed to go get our wee lad's kilt shoes changed size!!! and he just asked how i was feeling lol

think it makes it more WOW and more romantic if the first time u see ur groom is the altar but just my opinion

- CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
I wouldn't have had time to see him on the day. Although he did have to drop some stuff off at my hotel- bridesmaid met him in reception.

Don't underestimate how busy you will be in the morning of the wedding- there is a lot to do and you may not have time to see the reception set up- our venue didn't start doing that until a couple of hours before, as there was another wedding the day before, so they had to check out first.

we were going to stay together as normal then h2b was going to drop me at my sisters xx
- CommentAuthorGregorysGirl
We aren't seeing each other either on the day until I walk down aisle! We will do some of the venue stuff the day before and then we have a company doing the rest on the day. Have to wait a while to see him on the day though as we aren't getting married til 3pm, so hopefully he will go easy on the beers with the best man and his dad! But I will be so busy getting ready and having a giggle with my girls that it will fly by! :) x

Finally reunited with the love of my life
Never to part again
This Saturday I will finally be Mrs Codling!
- CommentAuthorJulie Walker x
Not sure on this one, I wouldn't have time to check out the venue before hand anyway, but I don't know where he is going to stay the night before. Im thinking he stays at our home and leaves before hairdresser/make up ppl come along but then where do I put the dress??? I don't go along with superstition as a rule. I don't want him to see me ready until we are ready to do the do's but thats only because it's such a novelty for him to see me in a dress I want to suprise him at the venue lol x

oh I do I do I dooooo!!!
oh I did I did I did!!
- CommentAuthorRedBee12
We are sticking with tradition, and I hate the idea...we haven't spent a night apart in what will be nearly 8 years when we get married so I am not looking forward to it :( I think it depends on whether or not you are superstitious or not - I am!
- CommentAuthorRhiannonollie
Im not doing it for superstition, i just want him to miss me just enough, and then the next time he sees me I look like a princess!

Thats why Im not going to see him on the day!! :)

is soooo happy and lucky
- CommentAuthorGregorysGirl
Me too Rhiannonollie, he is doing it for the superstitious side of him, but I just want him to miss me, and he will terribly as he hates being away from me, and then he will see me all prettiful, lol. I will have to stop myself running down the aisle though, I will have missed him just as much! :)

- CommentAuthoralimarie05
At first we were suposed to be leaving from our house together in the wedding car. now htb has changed is mind and he's gonna look after the kids till i've had my hair done then he's gonna leave me and the girlies too it and meet me outside the register office to avoid seeing me in my dress. with the kids its a little harder as they wont sit still for 2 minutes!!!
- CommentAuthorx ashlil x
im going to my mums the night before and h2b is staying at home, were not getting married til 3.30 and i dont want to see him until the church. Just need to rely on best man to get him there on time and preferably sober lol x
- CommentAuthorRhiannonollie
haha!!! yes, I think if we had our wedding any later than we are (12:00) there is a worry I would have had a glass to many of champagne to calm nerves!! lol!

is soooo happy and lucky
- CommentAuthorUnknown
i am getting married at 12.30 and i know h2b will have had a pint. i have told him that if he turns up drunk i wont marry him!! xx
- CommentAuthorAngelaeris
We're sticking with tradition too I'm staying at the venue the night before and H2B is staying at his home as a lot of family from newcastle are staying the night before the wedding. I wont see him the morning of as I want the first time he sees me I'll be in all my finery lol We've booked two rooms for the night before so that he'll have somewhere to get ready too as the photographer is going to be getting shots of each of us as we get ready.

- CommentAuthorSuzie Bear
I'm stopping at my mum and dad's house. Will be staying in my old single bed. I'm looking forward to a night with my parents looking at old photographs :0)
H2b is goin to his parents too although he needn't but he is their youngest too.
Looking forward then to seeing him at church :0)

Gotta be pink!!! :0)
I think I blinked and missed our wedding!! lol
- CommentAuthorDellie
We are staying in the same hotel he night before but the 2 separate rooms are at different ends of hotel lol..we will not see each other the morning of wedding as we are sticking to the tradition x
- CommentAuthorMadam Butterfly
We are going the traditional route too. Couldn't you go at separate times to check the venue?

H2B is spending night before at his parents... with a crate of beer apparently! I would have liked to check on the venue in the morning to make sure it was how I want it but to be honest I'm not going to have the time and I'm just going to have to trust them!
- CommentAuthorCroc
im a sucker for tradition... seperate the night before and not seeing me until im walking down the ailse to meet him, ijust think it has a sense of romance about it ... plus im not seeing the room until we get there as i want it be a surprise and i want to be vowed too and the way i see it is if i see the room on the day of the wedding before the ceremony i will stress out just incase its not exactly how i pictured it etc etc but at the end of the day who cares once am married i will have more things on my mind than other than the tea lights arent all equal etc etc but thats just me... i dont need any more wedding stress

- CommentAuthorsuzky123
we are sticking with tradition and i will check out the venue before 9, he will check any time after that until 12 noon ceremony. Its personal choice though so if you want to see each other then im sure its fine.

- CommentAuthorbride22feb2012
yes i agree with the other ladies - all that tension and anticipation should show through when he sees you for the first time walking up the aisle in your dress...

you don't want to loose that emotion in the video/photos/guests reactions.

then your wedding will feel more emotional, i think... get the bridesmaids and best men/ushers to check on everything. that can be part of their responsibilities for the day.

no reason why you can't go earlier and put all the centre pieces out in the morning - thats what i'm doing.

we are sticking with tradition, we are both staying at the venue the night before, and are either going to decide times on who is going for breakfast, or have it delivered to each room. Its going kill me not seeing him, and will probably make me more emotional when i do lol

I also sticking with tradition but I'm not sure what time we should leave each other the day before. Is it OK for him to drop me off at my hotel the afternoon before?
- CommentAuthorKatkin
Although we aren't having a 'traditional' wedding, we are being traditional in not seeing each other on the day till I walk down the isle :-)
- CommentAuthorHunny Bunny
I'm going with tradition, besides I'm looking forward to spending the night before with my girlies and relaxing and having fun - am hoping I'll even be able to turn my phone off! I'll be at the venue the night before so I'll be checking the rooms and everything is in place in the morning....
At the end of the day the choice is yours really (well and your h2b) x

I'm sure we will talk to each other on the phone the morning of our wedding, I think I will find it impossible not to lol :-)
- CommentAuthorStevie_Dee
We will both be waking up in the same bed at the venue. We will be having a champagne breakfast together (not that he knows about that part yet) and then after a few hugs hes going to one wing of the building to meet his best men, and I will be staying in our apartment area and the flowergirl and mums will be coming to me. I think the idea of tradition is nice but not practical or wanted for us. xxx
