    Is it bad luck to TALK to your fiance the day of the wedding? I know your not supposed to see him but I have no idea on this one...

    Are you planning on communicating with him in the AM, while getting ready, etc...?

    Nope.  I don't want to be talking to him at all.  I figure I'll be too busy getting ready anyway.

    Probably a bit over the phone early in the day.  I'm expecting to be a nervous wreck and he always helps to calm me down :)

    I think I sent him text messages like "we're having yummies for breakfast. You should be jealous" or "i look hot. you'll see"

    I kept it to a minimum cuz it was a girls' fun day but I couldn't help but send him a couple of messages. 

    I don't believe in luck, though, but sometimes it's fun to go with tradition.

    I will have to talk to him! I think it is cute to have a couple of conversations or text msgs going back and forth!

    I want to share the whole day with him!

    We're doing pictures between the ceremony and the reception...

    I'm THINKING of just texting him once or twice. I have a hard time going more than a few hours without talking to him so it should be interesting...

    Yep.  We're doing a "first look" and taking as many photos as we can before the ceremony.

    We planned on sleeping in different rooms the night before, but couldn't decide who would give up our suite to go sleep with our snoring parents... So we ended up seeing each other in the morning just to kiss goodbye and went our separate ways until just before the wedding.

    He was getting ready in our suite's living room, and I in our room with my mom and friend, but we didn't see or talk to each other even with the proximity - that was a very special moment...

    We really waited until the ceremony, when he watched me walk down the aisle with my father to see each other, and we don't regret any part of it.

    I don't think it has anything to do with luck either... just a personal choice!

    We plan to go our seperate ways after the rehearsal dinner and I don't think I will talk to him until our first look reveal. I do think I will exchange some text messages with him the morning of when my girls and I are getting ready. I don't see it as a supersitition/bad luck type thing, I just think the suspense and alone time with my girls will be important.

    We slept together the night before the wedding, had breakfast together, talked several times up until our first look, and did photos for 3 hours before our ceremony.  Everyone is different though, our best friends didnt see or speak to eachother until they walked down the aisle, whatever makes you happy :)

    I don't know that we planned on talking to each other before the wedding, but it just kinda happened.  I think we texted early in the morning, and then we definitely talked a couple hours before the ceremony (I wanted to make sure he was on his way to the church to get ready).

    I think it will help to ease nerves and remind one another of all of the lovey dovey stuff.  At the same time, I don't how he would feel about it, like if he thinks it's bad luck or something, so it's still undecided.

    We didn't talk to each other before, but we did have an 11:00 am wedding--It was before text messages though, I think we would have if we'd had the technology :)

    We won't see each other until the first look about 3 hours before the ceremony and we most likely won't talk either. Not only is that girl time for me but it's also guy time for him. Plus, I'll be so busy getting ready that I don't think I will have time to focus on that. We are having lunch at the church for our wedding party before pictures and before we all get dressed that way I don't have to worry about having everyone running all over town and not making it back on time and so nobody eats in their dress/tux before pictures but mostly because us to have some time with our best friends and provide another little thank you to them for being there for us that day. However, I have asked to have the food in separate locations for the guys and girls because I don't want to see my FI. Not because of luck but because of tradition and suspense. To each their own.

    I'm pretty untraditional in this part I think and still think the wedding day will be just as special---but that's just me.

    • We are staying the night together in the same room at the hotel---saw how much of a hassle it was for my sister to get ready, pack up her stuff and get out before they were billed for another day's use and then get to the wedding.  This way we can just leave stuff where it lays for the most part and not have to worry about it.
    • We are decorating the morning of for about an hour--place doesn't need much at all--and he will be there to help set up the arbor thingy we probably will have.
    • While I'm getting ready he'll probably go get ready back at our house--second photographer dude will be with him.
    • While I'm getting ready I'm sure we'll text but I won't call him since I probably won't be able to...got to tease the boy that I'm looking be-a-utiful!
    • Will do a first look at an off-site location and then also at the venue location.

    We both agree that we would have a hard time getting any sleep if the other wasn't there the night before our biggest day.  If it was any other day, and he was out of town or something, fine, I won't sleep well and wouldn't care, but on my wedding day I want to be rested! :) 

    I don't really believe in the whole "bad luck" thing too much.  He's already seen my dress, not on me, but see a picture of it online because I was just thrilled to death I even found a dress in the first place.

    I haven't really thought about that, but he does calm me. SO, I am not really sure yet. I know for sure we'll probably text.

    we thought we had to do the traditional sleep seperated the night before... and then when we were leaving each other we realized that it was stupid! we did it because we already planned it, i had a hotel room with my sil and sister and he had to watch our dog at home, but both of our nerves would have been much better if we would have just stayed together. that being said, yes, we talked to each other throughout the day. we needed that! we also did a first look, which we decided to do because we did a ketubah signing ceremony before the actual wedding ceremony.

    We will definitely talk, although we aren't seeing each other.  We are having an evening ceremony, so I can't imagine going all day without talking to him! We will at least talk on the phone when we wake up, and maybe by text off and on..

    I always thought I would but FI informed me that there is to be NO talking/seeing each other before I walk down the aisle. Silly to me, but that's what he wants so we're going with it :)

    Ha, we totally saw each other a lot the morning of the wedding. We slept together in the same bed at our hotel room the night before, woke up together, had breakfast in our room together, and talked a lot.

    When my hair/make-up people arrived, my husband was still in the room, on his way out for the morning, and they were definitely surprised. I just told them we were really untraditional, and they laughed, and thought it was cute.

    We had a first look.  His presence helped calm me down as always.  I was pretty nervous since I was 45 minutes late for pictures!  I definitely did not have time to text or talk to him that morning.  We spend the nights apart in seperate inns.  I shared a suite with my brother and he did his best to calm me down by playing banagrams until 1:00 am with me.

    I can't imagine starting our wedding day without him. We'll talk and see each other before we both go get ready.
