Ok, so my mum says its bad luck for the groom to look at the bride before she gets to the end of the aisle? Is this true or is she just having me on? I was quite looking forwards to seeing my H2B's face as I walked down the aisle xx
Can't wait until the 14th July 2012!

I don't care. If h2b doesn't look at me as I walk down the aisle,I will be fuming!
Now Mrs Cobb!!!!!! :-D
CommentAuthorMel D
I've not heard of this one ... Dan was turned around looking at me as I walked in, and same for all the grooms of the weddings that I've been to that I can remember. Bit unfair on him isn't it? To be the last one to see her, and then he won't get the full effect of the dress, all he'll be looking at is her face xx

CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
Things being good/bad luck is purely superstition and, as with all superstitions, means absolutely nothing unless you believe in it.
You can tell I'm not a big fan of superstitions!
CommentAuthorFruity_pops

search google maybe that will help

cant believe it .. less then 30 days to go !!!
CommentAuthorNerdette
I think this is in the similar vein as having the veil covering the bride's face so the groom doesn't even get to see her until the ceremony is over and can't run away if he doesn't like the look of her.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Your H2B loves you - just try and STOP him looking at you as you walk down the aisle!
On 21st April 2012 I will marry my best friend!

I love watching the groom watch the bride come down the aisle. It's one of the sweetest moments in the wedding.
CommentAuthorkimmy
Im sure your h2b would have something to say about that...it's the best bit :D
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
To say about what?
CommentAuthorUnknown
i hadnt heard of this, but if h2b doesnt look at me while walking down the aisle i will be so annyed and upset xx
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
I cant wait for h2b to watch me walking down the aisle towards him, i cant wait to see his face! Though i do very much suspect i will cry!!!
CommentAuthorJulie Walker x
Tbh I think that one was invented by the fellas just so then they didn't have a cry!! My husband cried (hopefully because he was happy lol) and he watched me walk down, saw him have a bug slushy sigh too lol x
oh I do I do I dooooo!!!
oh I did I did I did!!

glenn kept his eye on me from the moment i entered the room,and strangly it calmed me down,he smiled and grinned at me and it was like he was keeping an eye on me,i wouldnt have it any other way,his face when he saw me was magical his whole expression changed,i even caught him wiping a tear away!!
CommentAuthorMrsSaraParry!
adam has decided he wont look at me as i walk down the aisle, purely because its traditional for the groom not to. Although I'd rather he did look at me but its his choice. To be honest i dont think he'll be able not to anyway!
CommentAuthorluvlifejen (mrs berr
i doubt its true coz i think most if not all grooms look back to see their bride xx
soon to be Mrs Berry 26.11.2011
CommentAuthorjo Santa
You need to see his face - it's a really romantic special time that walk down the aisle and tradition or not, I think he should enjoy it all the way x

CommentAuthorSoon2bMrsS
It did used to be traditional for the groom not to look at the bride but if I remember correctly this was the origin of the veil. The thought behind it was that the groom wasn't truly looking at the bride (veils used to be a lot thicker) so it wasn't bad luck...this is what my Nan told me when I was younger anyway. Hope it helped xxx
CommentAuthorSuzie Bear
Hmmm I hope he looks at me! But then I got thinking that what if other people catch my eye walking up? Family and friends? Where do I look!?!? lol x
is Mrs Suzie Bear!!!!
Gotta be pink!!! :0)
I think I blinked and missed our wedding!! lol
CommentAuthorSoon2bMrsS
lol well everyone would be looking at you obviously but I think I am just going to concentrate on H2B. Generally people don't wave or distract you when walking down the aisle anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about this plus they would understand if you were to engrossed in your hubby to respond to them. Don't stress!! X
CommentAuthorMissSL
If it was alright for Prince William to have a cheeky glance back I'd say its alright for our H2Bs!!!
Kaya - I also would be fuming if he didn't!! lol...
CommentAuthorSophie Sherwood to b
My W2B will be the 1st down the Aisle, I will telling her to Keep looking forward at the registrar so she dont get overcome with emotions, which she probably will do. Then I will enter, and She better be turned around looking at me for the 1st time in around 7hrs of being apart, I will be looking straight at her, This will be 1st time ever i have seen her in a dress let alone made up to look even more beautiful than she already is xx

That's really sweet sophie! Not long to go for you now. After all the trouble/secrecy of keeping the dress away so he can't see it, he'll be dying to see it won't he?
WARNING:
I say the first thing I think of!
CommentAuthorSoon2bMrsS
awww that's nice...I'm terrified i'm gonna start crying because once I start I find it hard to stop!
CommentAuthorSophie Sherwood to b
Thanks girls xx Im also like that "Soon2bMrsS" I broke down at my aunties funeral, god knows what I be like on my day lol
I recon your H2B's will deffo want to see you walk down the Aisle
He has been kept in suspense and not being allowed to see the dress, so im sure he will want to be the 1st, otherwise he will be the last to see the dress in its full glory with his W2B inside walking down the aisle, to me that would be horrid if my W2B wasnt the 1st to see my dress properly as it was meant to be seen
Im wondering if the tradition is such due to Women are supposed to Walk behind their Husband once married, such as the wife used to say "obey" well sod that, No way would i insist my W2B to say "Obey" and its a deffo I will not "Obey"

total loss to date: 24.5 lbs now need to maintain!
CommentAuthorSoon2bMrsS
The superstition is more focused now on not seeing the bride before she walks down the aisle but I think it's more for that WOW factor than believing it's bad luck. I definately want Gav to watch me walk down the aisle. I know i'm either gonna cry, go bright red or be grinning like an idiot =p Gav thinks it's going to be all 3!!

CommentAuthorEnny
tbh i dont know and would give a dam :D would be pretty disappointed if he wouldnt look at me :) xx
CommentAuthorYourFirstDanceBride
I heard this but I told him to look. I'm going to all that effort of getting up early and having my hair and makeup done if he couldn't get the full effect at the start of the day. Plus I think its much nicer. I personally think it seems rude if he doesn't look, kind of like he's not bothered about seeing you!!
CommentAuthorMel D
Just seen our video ... Dan had a couple of looks back at me, but mostly stood facing forwards xx

CommentAuthorlili1988
I don't think any groom can resist looking back at his bride!
and I think that as a superstition it is completely outdated, as like many things it probably roots back to being snached my evil spirits!
Personally I will be rather annoyed if my h2b doesnt look around! and i think you should follow your heart and if you are looking forward to him looking round enjoy it :)

CommentAuthorClareS
h2b better turn round an look at me as I'm walking down the aisle! lol
CommentAuthorClairebear67
I cant say Ive heard that one before, think she is having you on for sure, like ClareE my H2b better turn round and look at me too as im heading down the aisle lol.
CommentAuthorNishaVyas88
I've not heard it before, but if I did I'd probably ignore it anyway. In fact, the only reason we're not seeing each other prior to the ceremony (i.e. travelling up there together) is because my parents believe it'll be bad luck. I'll still be sending him sneaky texts, I think. That is, if my MoH doesn't catch me and hide my phone, lol!
