My fiance and I do absolutely everything together, so naturally we're planning on picking out my dress together. Everyone I mention this to tells me that I'm nuts - and my mother is already freaking out about it!
I figure that he is going to look at me all day on our wedding day, and I want a dress that he'll love to see me in.
Is anyone else as anti-tradition as we are?

Just so you know, most bridal places will not let men in. I brought my FH with me to a bridal place when I was a BM in a wedding last year and there was absolutely no one else in the place and they still wouldn't let him past the entraceway.
But you do what you want to do. It's your wedding. You have to be happy.
What?! They won't let him in?! If there is an open dressing room, then I could understand, but for them not to let men in to a showroom sounds to me like sex discrimination!

Wow, i have NEVER heard of anyone taking their FH dress shopping and I can't understand why you would want to. In my opinion, it's fun to have something as a surprise. I'm not a big traditionalist but that is one thing I would never budge on. i can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees me in my dress coming down the aisle and just keep in mind that you won't get to experience that.

NO WAY JOSE!!!!!
ETA: the store I bought my dress from doesn't even allow men beyond a certain point in the store.

FH will be coming with me when I go for my measurements next week and fittings when I come back from Italy. Can't help it, he's my ride!
Actually the dress will be a surprise to both of us. I haven't sclue as to what it will look like. It's a gift from my godmother who makes gowns!

You should do whatever you want.
For me, I don't want him to see my dress before our wedding day.

Gee, I was lucky to get him to go hall shopping. There was no way I would have ever gotten him into a dress shop. Plus, my mother would have KILLED me if I brought him along!!

Honestly, I wanted him to go shopping with me, I have been getting his opinion for so many years it was so hard to make the decision without him. But I did it and I'm glad he will be surprised.

My DH didn't want to look through bridal magazines with me because he was afraid he would accidentally see my dress.

I am not bringing him shopping with me, but I have been showing him the ones that I like and asking if he likes them Whichever one I choose even if he sees it will be different on then in a pic! Though FMIL had a fit when I toldher this
