Would you rather... have a first look or wait until you walk down the aisle?

Which wedding day reveal are you choosing? Would you rather do a first look, or wait so the first time you see each other is walking down the aisle?

    I want to wait until I walk down the aisle but my fiancé wants to have that moment to ourselves and do a first look. He was really sweet about why he wanted to have that private moment, so first look it is

    We're having a first look. I think I am going to be very anxious the day of (because that's just who I am as a person haha) and I know seeing my FH will calm my nerves and give us some time alone before the ceremony.

    If we weren't going to the courthouse, I would definitely do the first look. It saves time and I think is more special because it's just the two of you.

    At first, I didn’t want a first look. But after taking to my photographer about more time for pictures and also having a private reaction (just us), we want a first look! 💕

    I want to definitely wait until I walk down the aisle to see my soon to be husband for the first time! I'm sure he's gonna cry.

    Definitely first look. Mostly because it will be so much better taking all our photos before than during cocktail hour. I was once at a wedding where cocktail hour turned into two hours because they were off taking pictures. I definitely don’t want to do that to my guests. Plus, I love the idea of having a few minutes alone with FH before everyone else sees me.

    First look. We won't have either of those, we are doing a destination wedding and aren't getting a second hotel room.

    First look! We are so excited about our first look! We have our 2 photographers who will be there to capture the moment, but otherwise, it will be just us! And I am so excited to have that time together!

    I suggested a first look for timeline and photo reasons. FH thought I was nuts and thought I made up the whole concept of the first look haha. He said he always pictured me walking down the aisle as the first time he would see me in my wedding dress, so that's what we decided to do Smiley smile

    Wait until I walk down. I don't really have preference but this is what FH asked for. It's equally his wedding as mine and so I'll be honoring his wishes and the photographer has planned accordingly Smiley smile
