I am pondering over this so much. Ive gotten some feedback already (thanks Julz33) but I REALLY need more info.
Basically my ceremony and reception are at the same place so the only time for pics is before ceremony or during CT hr which we dont wanna miss so....
Have any of you have 'private time' before the ceremony to see your FI and take pics? If so, are you happy you did it, regret?? Did it feel different when you came down the aisle?
TIA
FM if youd like

I dont mean to be rude but reading some of the posts about how you opted not to see FH isnt helping me and is only making my decision harder.
Please only reply IF this situ relates to you.
Again, I love you all for responding and PLEASE dont take my post as mean, I just need to make this decision as painless as possible.
THANKS
you might want to adjust your question then to read, *if* you saw DH before ceremony, blah blah blah. The way you have it now doesn't really imply that you ONLY want people who saw their DH to respond.
Ok my post was friendly and Im sensing yours isnt. Am i correct?? I REALIZE i made an error in the title of my post and that is why i added a new post to explain what I was looking for. I didnt realize my syntax was going to be graded. I appreciate your response and the time it took you to write it. Please respect that I was asking for something else. There is no reason to be rude.
by suggesting you change the title (which you can do by editing your original post), I thought I was being helpful! Not rude. Please respect that this is an open forum. And also for newlyweds.
If I were to be rude, I'd tell you to not post on the NEWLYWED board and instead, post on the BHB board, which LIW states in the first post on this board ('The purpose of this board') but I didn't do that.
I was simply giving you a friendly suggestion.

Ok than I apologize for thinking you were being unfriendly. And I purposely posted on here bc you guys are the experts now I couldnt post on BHB bc none of those brides have gone thru it. Anyway, i def. dont wanna start drama over this crazy topic. Like i said, it was nice enough of you to reply at all. Its nice that all of you still stay in touch now that youre married. Thanks for the advice. Im still pondering what to do. I dont wanna miss CH and I was so always against seeing FI before ceremony, but now suddenly some weird spell has been cast upon me and Im actually considering it. And this was the one thing I was most sure of that I didnt want. Its so funny how circumstances could change your mind.
Thanks again all of you for your tips/advice. I think Ive made up my mind

Re: Did you see DH before ceremony?
We were married at Flowerfield, so we debated this too. We actually did see each other first and I am SO GLAD we did. It was an awesome moment when we saw each other and when I walked up the aisle. I was so happy that we got all of our pics done first, and we could enjoy our entire cocktail hour and reception. It was great.

Re: Did you see DH before ceremony?
We got married at the catering hall and debated over seeing each other before the ceremony. I have absolutely no regrets- we have pictures and video of us seeing each other for the first time. We have tons of pictures together that we would not have had the time to get otherwise. My feeling is if you're paying all this money for photography you might as well get as much out of it as possible. If i had to come up with one negative it would be we had to start getting ready awfully early to be at the watermill at 9!
