    Glad to hear you ended up finding a song to dance to! What song did you choose? And wow, that's a super fun alternative to the first dance! We ended up deciding to combine our first dance with a reverse anniversary dance: we will start out dancing, and then will slowly add people to the dance floor based on how long they've been married (1 year or less, then 5 years or less, etc).

    Very cool that you're following the tradition! Are you doing a first look? Or will the first time you see each other on the wedding day be at the altar?

    How do I disable notifications or unsubscribe from emails?? 🤔
    I'm a millennial and this is difficult.

    At the bottom of the email, click on "Manage Preferences", and you should be able to specify which emails you'd like to receive. I think you'd still get a notification on WeddingWire regardless, but you should be able to control the emails.

    We're eloping, we plan to get the hotel the evening before and yes, we'll be staying in the same room.

    This is similar to what my fiance and I are doing as well. We're not eloping, but we'll be staying together the night before our wedding. We just didn't feel strongly enough about the tradition, and didn't want the extra cost of a separate hotel room.

    Following the tradition is fun, but I'm sure your fiance has his reasons for wanting to stay together that night! Being around you might help ease some nerves for him. Are you planning to do a first look? Or will the first time you see each other on the wedding day be at the altar?

    No first look. He wants to see me for 1st time at the alter. I doesn't even want to know about what type of dress I'll wear. The only thing he care about attire is if imma have a vail. I wasn't planning on it....but now I'll be looking for vails

    Very cool, that will make the moment at the altar even more special than it already is! I love that you're planning to wear a veil just because it is something he cares about.

    The dress I am going to get is so dramatic I don't think it needs it. But yes I am searching. 💜

    Wedding is in 13 days! OMG I'm so excited. We are staying separate the night before. He's staying home I'm staying in a suite. My family is coming in from out of state so they will be at the hotel. I plan on relaxing in a jacuzzi tub do a facial and most likely will face time him all night cuz I'm gonna miss him so much.

    OMG same girl lol!!! Literally the only reasons for me as well! I'm planning on getting our hotel room a day early and maybe have my MOH stay with me the night before (if she promises to behave and make me actually go to sleep Smiley xd ).
