I saw a thread yesterday with photos of a wedding where there was only the bride, groom, their child, and the bride’s parents (I think). This is the link to the thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...g-photo-50655/. She had a link to her wedding photos in her post. Some of the photos showed her husband-to-be helping her get ready. I’m not sure if that is something you would consider.

I know I want to do the tradition of not sleeping together the night before the wedding, but I don’t know if we can avoid seeing each other the day of the wedding before the ceremony. Since we will be doing a cruise wedding, it will be difficult to avoid seeing each other in the port. But, I definitely don’t want my FI to see me in my full wedding attire until I am walking down the aisle.

If I were you, I would move your ceremony up earlier in the day if it is just the two of you. That gives you more time to spend together after the ceremony. Just think of all the anticipation you will be feeling while waiting for 5:30 to roll around.

I just had to share… I got 4 more RSVP postcards in the mail today, so that makes 13. Yay! Just waiting for 39 more! My RSVP deadline (preliminary RSVP) is November 6th. So, for now I have 11 sailing and 9 non-sailing guests for my cruise wedding.

I think we're going to spend the night together the night before the wedding. I like the tradition of sleeping separately but we've been living together for so long now that neither of us sleep that well without the other and I want us to get lots of rest for the big day. I really don't want him to see me in my dress or anything until I get down the aisle, though! He hasn't seen my dress, either, not even a pic so it'll be a nice surprise.

Yay Congrats!! I really didn't do my research because I didn't do a preliminary rsvp and I put Feb 2010! I have received a few though...and a lot of people have booked already so I know some will be coming! lol

LOVE the pic of you with the Alligator - brave woman! I'd love to hold one!

I am sooooooo kicking his butt out of our room the night before nuptials! and mostly not because of tradition, although I'm looking forward to the anticipation of not seeing him until the ceremony...because we ALWAYS see eachother lol
It's mostly because I can't bloody wait to have a King Size bed all to myself!! My FI's a crowder, roller, sleep talking hugger and I'm a need space and need to be able to breath sleeper - So the night before my wedding may just be the best nights sleep I'll ever get for the rest of my life, lol!! Oh yeah - getting rid of the kid for the night too, gotta love Grandparents!! lol
OH I can't wait for a little slice of HEAVEN!!!

I sleep so much better when the FI is with me too, but I want to attempt to do the traditional thing. We'll see if I stick to it!

A king size bed! Wish I had one of those. I'm still rockin' the queen size bed. We'll have to upgrade after the wedding.

Well, gotta go to bed now. I think I've gotten enough wedding thoughts out of my mind for now so I can get some sleep (in my queen size bed).

Hahaha, no we have a queen at home most times it feels like a twin!! I'm talking at the resort, a KING size bed all to myself for one night only!

Thanks for the idea & info...I am really thinking of moving it up...I have 2 rooms...one is the stripview for our wedding night..I planned on fixing that one special for our wedding night..will just play it by ear..like most of you we live together neway..so maybe we could part ways on that Saturday morning...
