Can you tell I am more non-tradtional!! LOL

Traditional/....not seeing him befor ethe wedding, not going to the cocktail hour

non traditional ...hoping i can find a dress thats not in white, not planning on having wedding music going down the aisle at the ceremony, and not getting married in a church

I am doing most things traditional but my non-traditional is removing traditional things!

Like, no bouquet toss, instead I am going to present it to the next bride and groom and congratulate them.

Also, I don't want the bridal party dancing with each other, they are all married and will have only met each other the night before. It is alway so awkward!

Besides, I want our first dance to be just us, it's the only time I'll get FH dancing so I want to enjoy it just the two of us.

tradition - wearing a white dress....

non tradition - maybe seeing FH before the church.. but he might put a stop on that... so - premarital ahem.. hahah
