Seeing each other before the ceremony

Original post by dariamarie2

How does everyone feel about seeing their FH before the wedding ceremony? I always thought it was bad luck but I know a lot of people are doing it now. If i get married at the venue the only time to really do pictures would be before the ceremony because we want to enjoy our cocktail hour and say hi to everyone. I'm just curious to see how people feel about it. Thanks

We are both too traditional to see eachother before. But we'll have plenty of time to take pictures and I'm still not going to cocktail hour because I want to eat all that yummy food and I kno w I won't get to if I'm at cocktail hour.

We are both Jewish, and will be signing our Jewish marriage certificate (it's called a ketubah) before our ceremony with the rabbi and our parents, so we're definitely going to do a reveal. Plus, we want to enjoy our CH, so we will do all our photos before the ceremony. I know it's more traditional to see each other when first coming down the aisle, but I'm a crier and know I will be a hot mess when we first see each other. So this works out for us in many ways. Lol

We won't be seeing each other for the first time until I walk down the aisle at the church but FH and I are horrible at keeping secrets from each other. He already knows what my dress looks like and I'm sure I'll be showing him what I look like after my makeup trial in a few weeks. So in a way, we are doing a reveal... Just way before the actual day, haha.

Fh and I aren't seeing each other until the wedding ceremony in the church. FH said one of the greatest moments of his life will be when he first sees me walking down the aisle. I get so excited just thinking about it!

FH doesn't want to see me until I'm walking down the aisle and I think that's under stable. I also don't want to be with my guests at cocktail hour because we want to be announced. so we added 1/2 hour onto our cocktail hour for ample picture time.

FH and I are going to do the reveal. We won't be seeing each other until then since we'll be spending the night before apart.

I really want to enjoy our cocktail hour and we have SO many pictures we want and I just know with my family its going to take FOREVER. Also... we're getting married in December so the sun sets around 430.

I also really like the idea of doing the reveal because it can be a private moment between us. It'll probably be the ONE moment we can have thats just US without anyone doing anything to us or telling us what to do and annoying us.
