Groom can't see the wedding dress?

[♥Future Mrs. Chandler]

So, I know the groom can't see you in your wedding dress until your wedding day. But can he see JUST the dress, not you in it? My fiance is so excited about our big day that he wants to see my dress... Can I show him a picture of it online?

Its completley your decision, but just imagine his reaction when he sees you for the first time walking down the isle. He will be so happy that he never saw it before, just explain to him that you want the suprised reaction and I have heard its the most amazing thing for the groom to see the bride for the first time, it just makes it so special..Trust me I am dieing to show my fiancee my dress, but I wont! =) I would personally wait! Hopefully you guys do too.

nooooooo! what's the point? even if you don't believe in bad luck, it's just such a cute idea for the groom to be stricken speechless when he sees you come down the aisle, having no idea what you look like beforehand.

it's your call. personally i wouldn't. I wouldn't want my future husband's first site of my wedding dress to be of it on another woman (aka, the model). Plus, it'll ruin it for him on the day of the wedding. most men I know say their best memory of their wedding is seeing their bride for the first time and seeing how beautiful she looks. Why take that moment away from either of you?

No it would ruin all the fun let him wait till that day

 

[whatever]

NO!!!! i mean, ok if you really want to, but dont you want him to be surprised?? I would hate to have him see what even just the dress looks like!

Trust me, you will NOT regret making him wait. It is fantastic that he is sooo excited, but it will be worth the wait!!
Somewhat like the feeling you have when you know you bought the perfect present for someone and you're dying to give it to them early- but of course it's worth the wait, right?!

If you let him see it, he may inadvertently say something about the dress that causes you to second guess it, or he may not say much at all...than you'll be reading into that- OR he'll love it, but no matter what- it will take away some of the magic.

It is up to you sweetie, but from experience- it is absolutely worth the wait ESPECIALLY if he is already that interested

Congrats!

I know how you feel! Me and my fiancee do everything together, we've never kept a secret. We always give our xmas presents like a week early because of we can't keep anything a secret!

The truth is, you and your fiancee know each other. If you show him a picture, he can imagine how you will fill it out. I know he hasn't seen you veil or make-up, but the dress it the most important. Think about how other grooms faces changed when they saw their bride for the first time! That look alone should be enough to stave off you urge to show him. And besides, everyone knows things are more interesting when they are kept a suprise. I think if you did show him, you would be disappointed.

all my sister told her fiance was that it was white. haha its your call but personally i would just wait. dont tell him:]

 

[justcurious]

I described my dress to my husband verbally to make sure he wouldn't find it hideous or something hehe. I wouldn't show it to him.

My finance is dying to see my dress too but I won't tell him ANYTHING! It's so much fun. I say make him wait and it will be even better when you see each other for the first time on your big day!
