However, I just read a blog on WeddingbeePro about the "bride and groom cannot see each other pre-ceremony" tradition. Turns out that taboo started because most marriages used to be arranged, and they didn't want the groom bolting if the bride was fugly!! Yeah, I'm not really feeling that. I was totally against seeing Jae before the wedding based on this "tradition" and I really didn't even know why! Not seeing my dress until next year is one thing, but I'm pretty sure I don't have to worry about me and my dowry being rejected. (I am bringing a large collection of shoes and books to this union). Taking couple photos before might really calm me down and maybe I won't cry walking down the aisle.
This has been bothering me every now and then. I know, I know, I'm going to cry at least once during the whole thing but I really don't want to cry during my little time to shine. I'm going to see Jae and he'll smile, and I'll turn into bubbling, makeup-ruining mess -- great first impression. And all the pictures of me walking with my Dad will be me wiping my nose and eyes and also trying to hold a bouquet. No. No thank you. I want those gleaming, "OMG my life is perfect" editorial-quality photos (that I will be paying way too much for). *sigh* So this might be a good option. See Jae beforehand, not make fool of self within first 2 minutes of wedding.
However, am I just going to ruin my makeup earlier than expected? Is it really a good idea? Although I would have a chance to fix everything, unlike being mid-vows...
What do you guys think?
i think in some ways, pre-wedding is better, because once you have the ceremony you probably just want to go to your reception. I was at a wedding today and it was an hour and a half after the ceremony and receiving line ended that the bride and groom finally got to go to their own party!
