Again NOT a newlywed...have another question regarding your wedding dress and FI

DId you let him see a pic of it before the wedding?? I told him it was bad luck...is it? Or is it just the day of the wedding he can't see you in your dress before the ceremony??

What did you ladies do??

No way, not even a picture of it....it killed me but not even close to the dress. It stayed @ my MOH's house after I picked it up.

Some people take pictures the day of before the church or ceremony. I think thats ok.

I am just a worry wort.

Nope! No pictures of the gown or me in the gown before the wedding!

ETA: I didn't care if it was bad luck or not - I wanted him to be totally and completely surprised that day!

I dont really believe in those superstitions but I thought it would be fun to keep a secret so I did.

I know plenty of people who didnt keep a secret so it just depends on what you want to do.

He saw a pic. I ended up having to buy a new dress off of ebay, so I really wanted his input. He didn't see me in it though. I figure that the dress looked completely different on the model in a picture, than it looked on me in real life and by the time he saw it on me on our wedding day, he had completely forgotten about the picture anyway.

Nope..not a wink. Not b/c of the supersitions, but b/c I wanted it to be a complete surprise (Nothing else was..... )

I wanted to, but he declined. And honestly, if we didnt have pictures of us, the only thing he would remember is that it was white

Re: Again NOT a newlywed...have another question regarding your wedding dress and FI

It is entirely up to you. I didnt let DH see a pic, but he had an idea of the style. Anyway he did not see it until we took our pictures, which was before our ceremony. So, he got to see me when we first met, and when I walked up the aisle to him. Both times were special. Some people say it is bad luck if he sees you before the ceremony, I just dont believe in that.

Re: Again NOT a newlywed...have another question regarding your wedding dress and FI

Re: Again NOT a newlywed...have another question regarding your wedding dress and FI

I wanted to show him a picture of my dress because I was in love with it - but he refused to look at it, so he didn't see it until the morning of the wedding when we took pictures before the ceremony

No, no pic nothing.

Re: Again NOT a newlywed...have another question regarding your wedding dress and FI

Mine saw a photo of it from the website, but not the dress in person, or me in it until I was walking down the aisle. It is funny, but my brother refused to look at a photo of it because HE wanted it to be a surprise

My DH did the same thing to me! Since I wouldn't let him see what dress I picked, he had full reign over the tuxes for himself, the BP and the Dads. He did very well.

Re: Again NOT a newlywed...have another question regarding your wedding dress and FI

Nope he was not allowed to see me in it nor see it at all.

Re: Again NOT a newlywed...have another question regarding your wedding dress and FI

No, I did not! Once I brought it home & put it upstairs I told him he wasn't allowed up there (we lived together by that time). He was ok with that. He is not & never was a snooper

Re: Again NOT a newlywed...have another question regarding your wedding dress and FI

I was so excited after I bought it that I explained it to him. He would have never been able to envision what I would have looked like. He knew from the beginning that I wanted a dress with sleeves so it wasn't a shocker when I told him mine did.
