OH and I LOVE the sugar scrub idea! Now, I have to think of some special occasion to have an excuse to make it! 

 

Since posting this question I have seen that sometimes couples will pick a spot on the ship for the "first look."  For example - the grand staircase, somewhere on an upper deck, etc.

Hmm...that is an interesting concept!  My FI and I have talked about not wanting to see each other until I walk down the aisle. However, I think that those would be a good idea for pictures that I see him, but he doesn't see me. I don't know what you would call them or if what I'm describing makes sense. It probably sounds like I'm crazy though.  lol

Sorry for the delay! I don't come on often enough anymore!

 

He and I did meet up on the boat, in the main level bar, which was empty at 9 AM. One of my friends walked me down and dropped me off. I kind of did an appearance from behind a staircase/elevators and it was a little bit but not too dramatic :-)

 

He and I got off the boat, found our transportation, went to the courthouse and did pictures together all before the ceremony. I LOVED spending that pre-wedding time with him. He's my best friend, who else would I want to spend my wedding morning with?! It was perfect for us.

 

Good luck with the decisions ladies!

Thanks!
