Will you sleep separately the night before the wedding? Or are you ditching this tradition?

Are you doing or ditching the tradition of sleeping separately?

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

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

    Yes, we actually won’t even be living together until after the wedding.

    Nah- I've heard you should have sex the night before because the night of you are waaaay too tired. We also have to have the rehearsal on the morning of the wedding anyway so we will be seeing each other that day.

    Girl- do what YOU want to do! Its an outdated tradition and if there isn't a real reason for it then you do you! I'm the same, I hate sleeping apart from him and we've really only slept apart a handful of times in the last three years we have lived together.

    It's not something we thought about but I doubt we're going to sleep separately. Then again, maybe we will. Definitely have time to think about it.

    I think we will do this just because I will have family over so I can have a cousins sleepover!

    Sleeping Separately! On opposite sides of town as a matter of fact!

    We're sleeping together, and the groom will be allowed to see me in my dress before the wedding.

    I think this one we will keep! I know he does not want to see me before the ceremony so that sounds like a great idea! I might just stay at a hotel or the bridal suite with my MOH and bridesmaids.

    We will most likely sleep together the night before (we have been living with each other for years, after all) but in the morning, he'll probably go to the best man's house.
