Thank you, next (tradition): Something old, new, borrowed, and blue?

Back to the beginning: Which wedding traditions are you ditching?

    “I do”. I’m all about building the anticipation I’m staying with my gals at the hotel the night before and my fiancé has the house to himself and the guys. Smiley laugh The day of, we go to our special BnB. If we had decided to elope, we would have stayed together the whole time. Smiley love

    With a destination wedding, it can be hard because you may need help the morning of! Where are you getting married?

    Indeed. Well I will have his mom there to help at least! I will definitely need help lacing up the corset back. It's funny because he says he doesn't care if he sees me... I'd prefer a little more surprise! ;-) But the good thing about seeing each other is less nerves. We'll be in the Canadian Rockies. Emerald Lake / Moraine Lake

    We are actually doing a 24 hour silent period so talking and no seeing each other its a tradition we will be doing. I think it will be hard since we have lived together for the last 2 years seeing each other everyday and sleeping in the same bed at night but I want to make my parents happy.

    No. We have been together for almost 4 yrs. We have two kids together. We plan on having a party at home for our batchelor and bachelorette party. And passing out with our wedding party. So we will be sleeping together.

    Wow it looks so beautiful!!! Aww I'm glad she'll be there to help lace you up! That's a good point though, you have your person to help keep you calm!

    That's a cool tradition! I feel like it'll be hard, but so worth it when you lock eyes for the first time!

    Slept together even though everyone gave us a million reasons why we shouldn't. My husband actually stopped by the girls room while we were getting ready and we did a first look.
