Did anyone else spend the night before your wedding alone?

My Husband stayed at his father's house, funny your friend finds it weird I thought it was pretty standard.
It was sooooo hard! But worth it because of how excited we we're to see each other at the ceremony

That actually sounds really nice!! I think it’s just preference. I was the MOH for one of my best friends and we stayed at her parents house the night before her wedding. It was like having a middle school slumber party, we had fun! But I love the idea of just taking the night off to yourself!

I don't think it's strange. I also am spending the night before alone. I was really stressed out about staying in two different hotels and having to move all my stuff into a different hotel on the wedding day which I couldn't check into until 1. So instead of staying in the bigger hotel with my mom I got the bridal suite at the smaller hotel for two nights. Its gonna sound so bad and I'm sorry but I really wanted to be alone. I'm a mom of 4 and always going going going. I really wanted to just stop and relax. No one is upset about it and everyone understood that I just wanted to be less stressed and relaxed. I know people have asked why aren't you just staying in the bigger hotel? The smaller one is a huge base of our relationship from the very beginning. We stayed our first night together there, we take get away weekends. And its next door to the venue. It's kinda a how do I say it. Reminiscent of how we started. It's a very sweet old fashioned romantic hotel. No TV or phone. Built in 1875. It just felt like we have to do it. I'm really excited to just be alone before all the excitement starts

It really depends on your personality. I’m a huge extravert and I hardly ever have time with my friends now that I’m becoming a mom to my fiancé’s daughter so I wanted to stay with my bridesmaids since it’ll be my last night and they’ll help alleviate my stress. My fiancé and his daughter are staying together and the groomsmen downstairs from him. Most people decompress better alone, so I don’t know why this would be seen as weird. You’re about to have the rest of your life with someone constantly with you, so why not enjoy one nice of peace before it starts?

Not strange! I’ve had quite a few friends do this. I spent the night before with my fiancé and I had people tell me that was weird.

Sounds like a great idea! You can unwind and get ready for the big day

I don’t think it sounds strange at all.... I actually love that idea. Sounds very relaxing :-)

Lol of course it's not strange or weird. I think it's a good idea to be alone the night before your wedding. That way you can relax, pamper yourself, and maybe get some things ready for the honeymoon.

The night before we got married we were both alone, we didn't really have a choice because he was sleeping in his barracks room and I was sleeping at my place because I was flying to meet him in Las Vegas the morning we eloped.... but for our vow renewal we are doing things differently. He's staying at his mom's house and I'm having a slumber party with my bridal party.

Personally, I don't find it weird! I think you should do it how you want! Sounds like you had a relaxing night

I dont think its weird at all. I'm planning on doing the same thing and getting ready by myself the day of. I'm looking forward to having some time to myself before all the craziness of the wedding. I'm definitely someone who needs alone time though, I'm guessing your friend is probably an extravert or someone who doesnt need as much time to herself.

I dont think it's weird! I'd love the chance to decompress and just spend some time with myself beforehand!

I did the same!! I felt Like it gave me space to be with myself and reflect of this huge amazing moment that was going to take place the next day!! I would recommend it!!

FI's exchange for having a full 10 workdays plus holiday , 17 day stretch off, was to complete a business deal in Montreal, then fly to just north of wedding, morning of our wedding day. Months on the job, no time off due yet. I'd have been happier with him, but otherwise, happy to be alone. More than half of my family and friends there , ⅓ of FI's by 8 pm Fri, when I went to our suite, til FI arrived Sat morning at 8 am. Nice, relaxing. Did not want any BP or family with me except the dogs. A ten hour sleep the night before wedding day, I woke up when FI came in from the airport. I would have liked FI there, but could not for a minute imagine anyone else. I do not understand how anyone wants a slumber party the night before.

I’m planning to be alone too! I hate “sleepovers” with friends honestly, always have even as a kid lol. We can hang out all evening but then let me sleep alone! I’m super introverted too so I think being alone regaining some of my social energy the night before will let me enjoy the wedding more the next day without being too socially exhausted

I think that’s awesome. I love being in a hotel by myself it’s so relaxing!

My husband and I spent most of the afternoon/night decorating our reception, I spent the night at my mums with my flower girls and two of my bridesmaids and he stayed at our house with a couple of his groomsmen. It was lovely to spend that night at my parents house but we didn't go to sleep until 1am and I found myself awake at 3.45am, I never went back to sleep, instead I made breakfast for everyone and by 7 I had hair and make up arrive, it was a massive day considering I was getting married at 3pm. The memories made along the way was incredible, it was the most amazing day of my life considering the lack of sleep lol.

I don’t think it’s strange at all! This is what I plan on doing. My fiancé is staying with his parents and I will be in the “honeymoon” suite for a few nights 😊😊

This is completely between you and your fiance, no one else. As long as you and he reached an agreement to spend the night apart - rather than you unilaterally deciding - your friends have no grounds to object.

That actually sounds amazing!

I did this. We did a simple BBQ at his parents place and I got dropped off at the hotel by 9:00. We had an amazing suite over looking the ocean and I just sat there reading, drinking herbal tea and watching the sunset. I’m sure chocolate was to be had as well and I crawled into my bed and watched a little HGTV by myself. I remember waking up the next morning around 7am to my prearranged breakfast in bed! Honestly it was glorious. Would reccomend it to everyone.
