Hello I'm getting married in Cyprus, even thought my wedding is quite laid back and not do traditional I think that I would like to not see my husband to be till we actually get married, we are not getting married till 4.45 pm so we will wake up together on the morning but don't want to spend all day seeing him, so thinking of booking into another hotel that day? What do people think or any advise from those who have married abroad? Thanks K

I'm getting married in this country, but I'm going to stay in a hotel the night before I think so I don't see h2b so I will be more excited when I see him at the ceremony x x

When we got married in Vegas, my MoH stayed in mine and hubby's room the night before and hubby stayed in hers. Worked out well...until the duffus left his key card in her room and had to come to our room about an hour before we were due to leave LOL! I didn't see him - she locked me in the bathroom, so we didn't see each other. Then he and his boys got a cab to the chapel and us ladies got the limo :) I think it's nice not to see each other the day of the wedding, although our wedding was at 11am and not sure if it would have worked if the wedding was in the afternoon...
Vegas baby!

I defo don't want him to see me until I walk down the aisle. I think it's nicer.
CommentAuthorShazk
I wont be seeing my H2B, we both plan to stay at our venue the night before but we will have seperate rooms and be planning on Breakfast at seperate times etc so that we dont see each other (not taht I think bad luck) just dont want any of teh surprise etc given away)
Think it a personal preference to be honest think there are lots of people actaullystaying with H2B night before wedding etc so its not a undone thing xx
I'd defo book another room. That way it'll be really exciting when you finally see each other. xx

Me and my OH are staying in our flat the night before and i will be leaving for my mams in the early hours (ceremony at 11am). Everyone's trying to persuade us to split on the night before, but we both know we just wouldn't sleep at all (not that we'll be able to anyway with nerves, but still!) We're not the traditional type and we've spent every single day together but i still get butterflies when i see him, so it definitely won't spoil the excitement of the day! x
CommentAuthorkimi1987
im staying at my mums with the kids, were going with tradition and not seeing each other. ill be picking eldest daughter up from school then going straight to mums, or might even let him pick her up then bring her to mums after tea. not sure yet lol
caught the catch of my lifetime
25.05.2013. best day of my life
CommentAuthorMrs Cartwright
I agree book another room or if you have other guests maybe swap with them. I don't want to see h2b the night before or the morning. I think it makes it more special and a bigger anticipation of the day ahead
CommentAuthorSam
I think it's nice to keep traditions, I like the idea of swapping rooms but if that doesn't work book another room.
CommentAuthorRosyF77
i think its a good idea not to see each other. We have decided that we can see each other the night before (as were staying at the venue the night before too) up until we go to bed (in seperate rooms) then the next time we will see each other will be when we get married. want to wow him with how i look xxx
CommentAuthorMrsHarrison
I'm staying at our venue the night before with my parents, best friend (also BM), sister (also MOH) & her partner. My H2B is going to stay at his parents for the night. I definitely don't want to see him until I walk down the aisle (: lol, it's just nice that way. But do whatever you feel comfortable with. Xx

CommentAuthorKayleighW36
I'm also getting married abroad and wondered what I'm going to do on this subject. I'm still undecided but think we will probably spend the morning together.

CommentAuthormarie08
i think it nice to be seperate the night before so its much nicer when you see each other on the day and how you feel about each other.We are stopping at the same hotel but in seperate rooms and totally different parts.It is what you prefer to do as i cant sleep properly when my h2b not around but he can..lol. Beths11 i think its sweet that you still get the butterflies :-)
CommentAuthorLynseyA31
We are getting married in Cuba, and as our wedding is a surprise to all of the guests we're not telling anyone until the morning of as a nice surprise a week into the wedding. So we'll be together for the morning, then I plan on a pampering session from lunchtime as wedding is booked for 5pm :-)

CommentAuthorrachymoo
Arrgh I thought I'd decided that we would just stay in the same room the night before and wake up together but now this thread has me doubting.. I love the idea of staying in separate rooms the night before and not seeing him til the wedding but I'm not sure how it would wouold practically! Our wedding isn't until 3:30pm and we also have 2 children so it's kind of like hmm OK so who would have them the night before? He says I'm daft and what's the point of being apart the night before when we've got kids, been together 12 years and lived together for 5... does he have a point lol x
CommentAuthorMrsH-2B
Rachymoo, what kids do you have ? The boys can stay with him and the girls can stay with you :-) My H2B has 2 boys and they'll be with him the night before/morning of... I don't think your H2B has a point at all lol.. I think a wedding is the one day you can throw everything you've done out the window and play it in a proper traditional way :-) I can't imagine waking up next to H2B on the morning of.. It'll be like, 'Morning,... we're getting married today...' No proper element of excitement ! Lol.. xxx
I can't wait to become his Wife :-) <3

CommentAuthorrachymoo
We have a girl who will be 5, and a little boy who will be 3.. I suppose that's one idea although my little girl is a right daddy's girl and my little boy is a proper mummy's boy so might do it the other way round lol! Will have to put this idea to him! x
CommentAuthorMrsK2b
Im not seeing my H2B in the morning I don't want to see him until I walk in.
My sil2b & Bil2b got married last year in Cyprus and I stayed in her room the night before. They didn't get married until 4:30, we was on different floors.
I think its nice that I don't get to see him until I walk in gives me butterflies just thinking about it :)
Cant wait until I become Mrs K
CommentAuthorAna40
When i marry, i will be getting ready in my mums and my H2b will be getting ready in the hotel. If i were you i would maybe book another room, maybe in another hotel so you could walk around freely without worrying about bumping into him. x

I guess it's alittle more difficult when you are abroad but I think I'd still do the separate thing. We've been together over 30 years and are rarely apart but I wanted to follow tradition and not see each other on the actual day until the ceremony. We wake up every day together, I wanted our wedding day to be different. I sent him a text at 11.55pm saying good night and don't talk to me after midnight, until the ceremony - he sneaked a text back at 11:59. I actually liked the feeling of us all doing girly getting ready - and thinking of the boys in our house, getting ready. There was something magical that the first time we saw each other that day, he was waiting at the front for me (with tears in his eyes aww). I'm glad we did it that way
CommentAuthorMrs Cartwright
I will be spending it at a hotel preferably one where we can hold our reception and my h2b will be spending it at home. It's one of the traditions I wanted to keep. I think it'll make it more special on the day :)
CommentAuthorCatrinG2B
To build excitement and tension I will/Would not see my H2B the night before. I, staying at the venue and he will be at the house with the BM.
CommentAuthor*The NewMrsMalin*
Personally I don't think I want to see him until the actual wedding. I mean that on the day; the first time he'll see me on that day is walking down the aisle :)
Met in 2009
Got together on12th May 2011, proposed on the 12th May 2013
When you get knocked down; smile and pick yourself up again!
Fight for what you believe in!
CommentAuthorvicki
My OH and I are staying together the night before the wedding but he will be going to his BM's before I get ready so he won't see me in my dress until I walk down the aisle. I did it the traditional way when I married my ex so this is one tradition I'm really not bothered about
CommentAuthorNataliesoon2bMitchel
Me and my H2B are separating the night before the wedding, We are getting married in Cyprus so we are going to go for a nice romantic meal together and then my MOH & Godson are going to stay with me and my H2B will share with the MOH's BF. We are getting married at 3pm and I do not plan on seeing my H2B at all until I meet him at the end of the Ailse :-) Me and the bridesmaid and MOG/MOB are going to have breakfast together then a little swim/ sunbathe, before going to get ready. I want a nice calm girly morning and by 3pm I will be really missing the OH.

CommentAuthorMrsWade2B
I'll be staying at my mums house the night before and sharing a bed with my best friend the night before my wedding as there is not much room...My best friend is a guy :O ... No way would I stay with my H2B I think it would ruin the excitement for me...
CommentAuthorMrsManiatt
Even if you don't think its superstitious i think it would be nicer to not see each other the morning of the wedding, it'll give you a last little bit of me time to prepare before making your vows, so I'd say book a separate room :) xxx
CommentAuthorWhovianbride
We are having a rehersal at our venue evening before followed by a small dinner with close family then h2b will be going home with his lads before the stroke of midnight an will nit see him till im walking down that aile

CommentAuthorLauraM9144
im staying at the venue with my mummy :) and i couldnt be more hapy about it! we are spending the day before decorating the evening venue with all my girlies so i will not actually see h2b at all that day and not til 2pm on the friday when i will become his wife! arrghhh he will be with his best man playing darts (we met when i played him at darts in the local league and beat him ;) so thats seems appropriate) the registra is going to come to my room for "the talk" to make sure we dont bump into each other. its nto so much for tradition just that i think the little time apart will make us more excited and make the day that little bit more special to us. but i think this choice will always depend on the couple and theres no right or wrong to it
One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!
CommentAuthorBecky1608
I personally am looking forward to the moment that we see each other on the day so I'm going to stay at our venue with my bridesmaids, parents and some family friends and H2B will most likely stay with his parents or one of his best men.
Again it's a personal choice - if you would prefer to wake up together on the day then there's nothing wrong with that! xxx
