Traditions/Superstitions!

[Skylarr29]

Nothing very traditional here. Robert and I got ready in the same suite and we LOVED it. I figured I would be nervous without him there and worrying if everything was going according to plan. We had a nice relaxing morning together like always. He went to the living room when I put my dress on and then he didn't see me until we did our reveal. This worked for us but probably wouldn't for many others. You just have to do what is 'right' by you.

I am not superstitious at all.

I wish I could say that I am not superstitious. My grandfather was the king of superstitions. I still till this day will not pick up a penny unless its heads up. I would never for example get married on a day such as Friday the 13. I am glad to hear that I picked a good choice in June and it will be Summer. We will be following all the traditions. I think it is fun to do these traditions that come with weddings. I look at it as I will only be doing it once so might as well do it all.

We aren't big superstition people, but we did sleep separate the night before. He slept at our house (we've lived together practically since our first date!) and I slept at my parents house. We did text all morning though! My sister, also my MOH, was a terror so I needed him to keep me sane! We waited to do pictures together until after the ceremony because I wanted the first time he saw me to be in the church. He also didn't even see a picture of my dress before hand. It was tough keeping that secret!

I'm not very superstitious either... we slept together the night before, got ready together for our Epcot shoot, and rode in the limo together... we were perfectly ok with this and even wanted it this way!

I didn't follow any of them. We slept together the night before the wedding, DH even drove me to the Boardwalk to get ready. I didn't have anything borrowed or blue. I got married in May. I guess if my marriage fails I'm all set! It won't have anything to do with problems in the relationship, it's all because I did everything wrong the day of my wedding! LOL

Ours is similar to what everyone else has been saying - though I call it "tradition" than "superstition" at this point... at least to me! He got a hotel room the night before - more out of convenience because the men in the wedding party were all out of towners and he wanted to spend time with them. He didn't see me before the wedding because there just wasn't time for us...he got out of the limo with enough time for photos and nothing else.

The only superstition we followed was for my 80 year old great aunt - and that was to get married on the "upswing" of the clock. So our wedding started at 2:30pm - so our marriage can only "go up and get better" according to my great aunt!

I don't believe in superstitions either - I'm in the same boat as Ember, LOL. Nothing old, new, borrowed or blue. Whatever I can find on sale here and there and on eBay will have to do, LOL. My DF and I have been together for 10 years and have two kids - and we're getting married in May, on our 11 year anniversary.

I am hoping he will be able to stay w/his Dad and Stepmom the night before the wedding - just so I won't be all jittery in front of him. Our wedding is at 10 a.m. and I think the limo comes to get him at 9 a.m. My make-up/hair person is scheduled to be there from 7-9 a.m., so I'll be finishing up with that when he leaves if he stays in the same room w/me and the kids. I don't want him to see me in my dress though - just for the sheer fun of the look on his face when he finally sees me all dressed up.

I don't really mind if he stays w/us, because we don't drink anymore and I don't want him staying with friends/relatives who might push alcohol on him the night before. I definitely don't want him hungover at the wedding, and everyone we know drinks - many of them way too much. As long as he is out the door before I get my gown on, I'll be happy.

Now if we can just get someone to take the kids on the wedding night . . .
