Seeing the Bride Before the wedding

Hi Sarah, As per rituals in my community we cannot meeet on the same day before some of the events are done, so I could not meet her entire day and it was 1:00 am in the next morning when we came together but still did not see each other. We saw each other during rituals without any talk. Thank You.

I guess we didn't. I don't even remember!

Hi Sarah! As regards seeing each other before wedding ceremony, we did not see each other, however, we saw and met each other, when the ceremonies started. We had met on some earlier occasions before our marriage, therefore, we were not uncomfortable or say nervous during our marriage ceremonies.

My sister and her husband spent the night together and saw each other before the ceremony! Same with my friends Jeff and Mary! It is like no one cares about tradition anymore! If I would marry (which won't happen) I would honor the tradition and the other ones like somethigb new,something old and something blue stuff!

We lived together for Many years before we got married. But the day before we got married, I went and stayed with friends, and we did not see each other again until i started down the isle.

We had planned on not seeing each but apparently we had nervous bladders at the same time. he left his grooms men thinking that I was in the church taking pictures with my brides maids, and I thought he was down playing billiards with the guys. It was a dark hallway, so he did not get the full effect, but I was a bit disappointed.

I am surprised to learn that in this aspect your culture is similar with here. Here the couples are not supposed to meet each other before marriage. Otherwise it will bring them bad luck. Although I am not a superstitious person, but we stayed away before the wedding day. I love China

No we did not and I was very adamant about it. Even when we lined up at the church to walk down the aisle. I stood behind a curtain so he could not see me until I was coming down the aisle. The priest was even told me to come out and my mother in law told him that I did not want to be seen until the wedding officially begun and I was walkind down the aisle. I did everything in my power not to jinx my wedding day in any way. We have been married almost 21 years so maybe it worked.

If I would get married I wouldn't want to see my bride before the wedding because I want it to be a surprise.

we haven,t seen each other before marriage ceremony
