    Walk down the isle! The first looknis the only regret my best friend had. Her hubby cried, but then had a solemn look during the ceremony.

    If we had a traditional wedding, I would’ve waited until I walked down the aisle. But since we eloped, we got ready together.

    I don't know. It's both our 2nd marriage and we are having a small ceremony of just our parents and siblings. Not sure!

    We wanted to wait until I walked down the aisle but we want to make sure we have enough time for pics in the daylight so first look. Plus I really like the idea of an intimate moment where he gets to see me before everyone else.

    I would wait to see each other walking down the aisle, that would be more special that way. And to see his face knowing that I'm coming to him to be his bride. Cause he doesn't know how I look in my dress.

    I’m kind of old school/ traditional, I prefer to wait to see each other for the first time, when walking down the aisle

    Wait. We're doing a Catholic ceremony, and he's getting kicked out to his parents' the night before (and I hate days when our schedules keep us apart), so it'll be a Whole Emotional Thing, when I walk down that (very long) aisle.

    Wait until I walk... I think , logistically it would work better to do a first look and then pictures with families and bird party and such but FH is swinging more traditional so I think he would rather wait and since he hasn't had much of an opinion on anything I think I'll give him this one

    First look, BUT, if it weren't for logistics, I think I'd want to do the first look when walking down the aisle.

    Well we do not have an isle to walk down as we are scuba diving for our wedding so by default I guess a first look

    I would rather wait for my FH to see me going down the aisle, but since we're doing a winter wedding in the evening I'd like to get some outside wedding shots before the sun sets so it seems like the First Look is the way to go for us.
