Seeing eachother for the first time - at hotel....
If FH and I see eachother for the first time at the hotel, take some pictures there - and then go over to the RH to take the rest of our pictures before the ceremony, is it ok if we ride alone to the RH together? I know we can do whatever we want but I'm just wondering how to work it out.....I would like to go with him - its OUR wedding, so I want spend as much time with him as possible BUT I always imagined riding over with the girls and him riding over with the guys - ya know, with our bridal party....so not sure what to do - I just need to figure it out before we book limos....

This is one of those question where its entirely up to you! Since you'll have already seen each other, it doesn't matter at this point. So do whatever you want to.

We are both getting ready at the hotel but different rooms, then we are leaving separately in limos to the RH to take pictures there.
If you want to be ride with him to the RH, do it! It's your wedding and you get to do whatever makes you happiest.

Well I figure when we take pics at the RH its just going to be our pictures for the most part so we really wont need anyone else at that point - so if we go alone we can start pictures and then our parents and bridal party can take 1 limo over to the RH a little bit later....then we can do bridal party and family pictures with them....
and its cheaper that way - only need 1 limo and like a rolls or something for FH and I
the other way we would need a car for the guys, a car for me and the girls and a car for the parents....

we rode seperately to the park where we saw each other for the first time but after that we rode together to the RH. if we had saw each other at the hotel we would have all rode together.

Do whatever you want to do, it is your wedding, go with what you always pictured you would do!

I agree! my girls and I got ready at my parents house, and then had a limo do drop-off at the hall. DH got ready at the OOT hotel with his family and the groomsmen (all were OOT and stayed their the night before) and they all drove over together. We met up at the hall and then saw eachother for the first time there for pictures etc
I had fun riding in the limo with the girls, not sure what I would have wanted to do in your scenario. just do whatever you want and dont worry about what you are 'supposed to' do

you can do whatever you want. We wound up getting one limo for me, FH, our moms, my brother & nephew.

Re: Seeing eachother for the first time - at hotel....
at first we were going to wait until we got to the RH to see eachother, but i think it might be easier to see eachother first at the hotel - and we can take some of our pictures there- b/c with AG you can take pictures just about anywhere then im thinking that FH and I can leave and go to the RH by ourselves and knock out almost all of our portraits while our bridal party and parents hang out at the hotel for a little bit - they can come seperately about 1 hour later - then we can do the family pics, bridal party pics, all that good stuff....then we can wrap up, hang in the bridal suite for awhile and freshen up before the ceremony....i think its the least hectic that way....

I'm having the same dilemma. Right now, im riding seperately to the picture location and then me and FH are taking the rolls to the hall for more pics/ceremony/reception. Since he will see me before the wedding anyway, it doesnt matter and this way, I get to share that moment with him and a bottle of champagne before we get to the hall.

You can do whatever you would like of course but I just wanted to share my experience. Our ride over in the limo was one of my favorite parts of our wedding. It was one of the few parts that it was just US and it was quiet and we could talk and just be alone together. I will always cherish that ride and the funny thing is that I was so nervous about getting stuck in traffic but we both said we wished that there actually WAS traffic so we could have more time together.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking - it will be the only quiet time, where we are truly alone - no photo, no video, no stopping to talk to anyone, nobody watching us - just us alone.....it sounds nice
i know we are going to go directly into the bridal suite after the ceremony - and we want CH food in there - but its going to be for just us - bridal party and parents are free to go to the CH - we are telling everyone we want some alone time.....then after we eat we'll head down to CH for awhile - ours is 1.5 hours so i'm figuring we'll have to time to be alone and then time to go down and mingle...
i just want to make sure we have a lot of time together that day - i know at our eparty we were together pretty much the whole time, we dance together always, so i know we'll be together dancing during the reception, but thats different - we'll be drunk at that point - i want sober, nice time spent together
