Given that almost all American couples have known each other for a long time before they tie the knot, the surprise element is no longer necessary to ensure that marriage continues as planned. Let\u2019s discuss about the reasons why groom can\u2019t see the bride.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a lot to be said for the first time when the bride sees her bride in her wedding dress and he bride&#8217;s jewels appear at the end of the aisle and begins to walk to her. Since he went to the wedding salon to help her select a wedding dress, a great discovery is always a great moment. I do not believe it would go down if the bride and the wife had seen each other in their wedding clothes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-77\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahevansweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seeing-the-bride-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"894\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sarahevansweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seeing-the-bride-1.jpg 894w, http:\/\/sarahevansweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seeing-the-bride-1-300x142.jpg 300w, http:\/\/sarahevansweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seeing-the-bride-1-768x363.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That being said, for the first time ever, the bride always sees the bride as a real bride, sparkling in the exquisite robe of a pearl wedding diamond, even though it is done before the wedding. It is a good idea for the photographer to take a look at the groom at that moment. That is why, after all, they call it &#8220;first look&#8221; photography.<\/p>\n<p>You can even make a private phone call to your fianc\u00e9 on the <a title=\"wedding morning\" href=\"\/traditions-superstitions\/what-do-grooms-do-in-the-morning\/\">wedding morning<\/a>. This gives you the ability to examine and see how the other person does without the potential to interrupt the tremendous discovery at the ceremony. Do not waste this precious time on last minute wedding details! If you are having a wedding afternoon, another idea is for both of you to have an intimate meal. It will be very special to share the excitement of the perfect day before we go to get your hair done and wear your wedding gown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brides and grooms have decided for decades not seeing the bride before the wedding.
