FH and I are getting married at the RH b/c he is jewish and I am Catholic. We however do not want to see eachother before. Is anyone else doing this? I feel like so many people are doing an unvieling and we def. do not want that.

we originally were against seeing each other before the ceremony...
but we are also not getting married at a church...i find it so difficult to schedule photos between a RH ceremony and cocktail hour..
i dont want to miss my cocktail hour
and i def dont want to rush photos
we are leaning towards doing a 'reveal'
the other option i thought of, was to host an additional half hour between ceremony and CH of signature drinks, water, champagne and fruit- and some type of entertainment- video montage? harpist? something like that to give us more time for photos

are you getting married at the hall?
We are also getting married at the RH and not seeing each other before the ceremony. We are going to try to take all the seperate pics before to get them out of the way and then do our together pics after. We also extended our CH by a half hour so we and our bridal party will get to enjoy some of it.
I am also getting married at the RH and my fiance is Jewish and I am Catholic. We are seeing eachother before the ceremony because we intend to sign a Interfaith Ketubah. I originally did not want to see FH but after speaking with the Rabbi I realized that it was not possible. Oh well more pictures together which is a plus!
We did it gav us more pics, & more time with each other.

That's a good idea-the additional 1/2 hour. With the exception of using the RH space; it's really only the extra costs of the small selection of drinks and fruit-not like a full extra 1/2 hour of food.

most of the halls i went to, didn't charge much and a few weren't going to charge at all
Are you guys planning to have a ketubah signing? If so, you'll usually see each other before the ceremony. We are seeing each other for ketubah and pictures.
I dk.... I dont want to see FH till after.. We are havign a rabbi/cantor and a priest. I am hoping the rabbi or cantor will let us sign it during it. They are already marrying a jewsih/catjholic person on a friday night so we will see... do you think that is possible... Fm me!!

We didn't get charged the $500.00, we ask them to wave the charge and they did.![]()
I think we are going to do the whole reveal thing. I always thought I didnt want to see FH before but in teh interest of getting the pics we want and being able to be a part of the party, we are probabaly going to go that route
We are seeing eachother so we can get all the photos done & out of the way. We want to enjoy our party & not be bothered. I was a MOH at my cousin's wedding. They did not see eachother & she was STRESSED OUT! Thank god her photographer was really on top of his game. He got all the photos done in no time. It could have been much worse.
We had already signed the contract and thy changed it for us to no charge.
