If it doesn’t bother you, then I don’t see a problem with breaking such a silly tradition! It didn’t bother us.. I actually took Mr Ant dress shopping with me and he’s seen me wearing “The One” twice already!

I’ve heard of a lot of couple who have taken photos all decked out in their wedding attire before the wedding day. I was suprised at how many men there were at the bridal salons helping their fiance pick out their gowns! I think a lot of people are doing away with that tradition. You do what you want!

I honestly had no idea my fiance would care so much about how I looked at our wedding. Up until a few months ago I thought i had 100% control over the wedding. Then I discovered that he had a specific vision of a dress I would wear, how i would do my hair and that i would wear a veil. He even tried insisting that i had to walk down the aisle to the Wedding March which I was able to convince him that it was not going to happen. My fiance also surprised me at how specific he was about certain ceremony details. The good thing is that if I couldn’t handle all his requests (esp. regarding the ceremony) I made it his responsibility to figure out and narrow down the options. So far it’s working wonderfully.

heh. i actually showed my fiance a pic of my wedding dress. of course being a guy if you asked him which was my dress in a line up of dresses he still wouldn’t be able to tell you because like mr. plumeria, he doesn’t really care about that part of it.

but honestly… i don’t think it matters if he sees it on you ahead of time. and honestly, you won’t be as pressured the day of for photographs. either way the day will still be special regardless of what you’re wearing. be it the same dress or a plastic bag.

My FI helped me narrow down the dress selection. He’s seen me in it, but not in the entire get-up yet. And he claims he’s not sure which one I actually got.

I think a lot of Chinese couples take wedding studio pictures. They usually have this huge poster that all the guests can see upon arriving at the reception. I personally don’t see the big deal about it, and would like to take pics prior to wedding myself. However I may rent a dress for the photos and wear my real dress on the actual day

agree with you Miss Plumeria, I just did my “wedding photos” today even though our wedding is March of next year. Since we wanted outdoor photos, the photographer suggested we take the photos now instead of March, as it’s possible there will be snow on the ground. I was agonizing taking the anticipation away from the actual wedding day, but this is mostly an issue only for women. As a man will appreciate youre ensemble on the photo day just as much as the wedding day (or not at all for both) that being said, I’m wearing different dresses for both days so there will be something new to distinguish the two occasions.
