    We are staying the night before wedding apart only because we are having a very non traditional wedding... doing first look rather than waiting until ceremony... no religious mention... and less structure all around...

    We thought it would be nice to hold onto one traditional detail.

    His grooms party has an airbnb, best man has air bnb, family has airbnb.... so he has a ton of options to stay free somewhere.

    Keep. This is one thing I don’t mind. Chances are he’ll be with his groomsmen and I’ll be with my bridesmaids.

    Cancel. We live together and the venue is too close for anything else to make sense.

    Keep! My husband is in the army, and we’re waiting to get stationed elsewhere. Our wedding is in 2021 and we will return back home to Las Vegas to have our dream wedding. Since we won’t be living there, I think it would be a cute idea to spend the night with my girls (since we will be spending brunch together the next day before getting ready) and he has a night with his guys.

    We are split.

    He says keep. He says he wants to have an exciting lead up and have our first kiss of the day be our first kiss as husband and wife. He wants to stay at his grandparents and then only see me as I walk down the aisle.

    I say cancel. We have a 1 year old son who has never spent a night apart from me (hes in the military, so always home). We arent going on a honeymoon because we wouldnt have a sitter anyway, so we are working toward his first sleep over... after the wedding. If he leaves, I'm on my own with our son all night and hes a light sleeper. I think his thought is cute but it's going to be a hassle too...

    I think cancel but I haven't really decided for sure. My friend did it and it was so convenient just to kick him out at 7 or 8am. You'll still get the same feeling and your won't sleep like crap without them 😂

    Keep! We are hardly ever apart so doing so will make for a better experience when we see each other at the altar. We are not even doing a first look!

    I feel that you shouldn’t stay with your fiancé the day before the wedding. You should try to stay apart for one night and save the surprise of seeing each other when the bride walks down the aisle in her wedding gown.

    Keep. I like the idea that this builds anticipation to see each other for the ceremony.

    Keep because our venue is about 45 mins from our house. Also, it's easier for me & my girls to wake up together since we're all getting ready in the am. Same with my FH's guys.
