Sleeping together or apart night before wedding

Don't know if I should sleep at my parents house. Or at home with my fiance. I've heard it's bad luck to sleep together the night before the wedding because ur not supsto see each other is that true?

    I’m not superstitious either but we slept apart the night before. It build the anticipation of not seeing each other the whole day. That was my reason for it.

    He will be staying with his brother & I'll be at my mom's house since the girls can arrive early at the venue before the guys can

    We live together and thought it would be fun to wake up together and make breakfast together before everything turns crazy. We love our morning time.

    I think it's more of a traditional thing than superstition. Do what you feel the most comfortable. We are sleeping apart. We live together, but the night before we're gonna give each other space to reflect.

    Please do what makes you comfortable. Although I have some time for my wedding we aren't planning to sleep together that night because of the anticipation, suspense and I'll probably drive him crazy anyway with last minute DIY projects that I think of on a whim.

    I guess it just depends on you and your traditions. my wedding is going to be very non traditional. we have a baby together, im not wearing white and we are getting married in a small chapel in vegas. we are way pass the superstition so of course we will be staying the night in the same bed.

    I would love to spend one more night with him as his Fiance and see him first thing in the morning, give the last stare and know that tomorrow morning I'll wake up and see my husband. i think it depends on the time of your ceremony. Ours will be at 5pm. so I doubt waking up together will mess anything up. Smiley ring Smiley heart

    Congratulations and go with your gutt feelings!

    My fiance and I will be together because the wedding is at our house and our family is staying with us. And our wedding it at 3 pm so we will be busy finalizing everything that morning. But at noon, I disappear and he won't see me again until the wedding.

    I plan on not staying the night before with him, not only because of tradition and superstition but I'm sure I'll get up way earlier than him and I want to let him get his sleep lol.

    I don't believe in the whole bad luck thing but I think sleeping together the night before takes away from the experience. After our rehearsal dinner we went to our separate rooms with our sides of the bridal party. I had fun doing girly things like singing and dancing to throw backs and having girl talk which allowed me to really get to know his little sisters which was great. And the guys played cards and games in their room. The day of the nerves built up but we had our closest friends and eachother's siblings around us so we were fine. We didn't do a first look so we saw each other first down the aisle. We also had a sweetheart table for the reception and not seeing each other the night before and day of made us so excited to get to talk while we ate. It was perfect I honestly couldn't imagine it any other way!

    I'm staying at the hotel with my MOH and future hubby with his best man (brother) at parents house. I plan on not seeing him until I walk down the aisle.

    My fiancé and I have remained abstinent, so we are definitely not sleeping together the night before our wedding. The first time we will be sleeping together, will be the night after we get married.

    The night before the wedding after the rehearsal dinner my fiancé will be staying at his moms and I will be staying at our home. (We have a house together now but we like tradition). My cousins and brother and his GF will be staying with me at my house the night before. The next day is the wedding and I will be going to my moms bright and early for hair and make up before heading to the venue and then I will have my cousin call my fiancé to give him the OK to come home to get ready 😂❤️

    I’ve heard the same thing you have. We are definitely spending the night apart. I just think it will make it more fun too.

    I'm a very non-traditional person, so this isn't something we've even thought about. Some people stick to this tradition for various reasons and others toss it for various reasons. It's whatever you two feel like you should do and is right for how you feel.

    I don't think it really matters at all. What does matter is what you guys want to do. Just as everyone said. Me and my FH own a house together for over 3 years, have lived together for 5... BUT we actually are not staying together the night before. The reason is, we think the anticipation will be fun! He is staying with his 2 brothers at his parents house, and I am staying at my moms house with my sister.

    For us, it was just a fun way to say 'goodbye' to the last chapter and be ready to say hello to the next chapter. Obviously, we left the previous chapter a while ago LOL. I know it's cheesy but the thought of not having those moments beforehand with my family before I create a new family just wouldn't feel right. That's just the situation I am in. It's not good luck or bad luck.

    If you would feel the most comfortable heading into your wedding day by spending the night before in the comfort of your persons presence then you should ABSOLUTELY do it!
