It has long been tradition to not have the betrothed see each other before the wedding, as superstition says it is “bad luck”. Since the basis for the tradition was to keep grooms from breaking an arranged marriage by seeing something he didn't care for, today's weddings show that this is a tradition that can stand to be “tweaked” a little.
Sometimes you just can't stand to be apart for that long on one of the biggest days of your life, but still don’t want to see each other before the ceremony, a little creative hand holding might be in order.
If you still want to stick a little to the tradition and just have one person not see the other, it doesn't mean one of you can’t “take a peek” at the other!
And then there are always those who just can't take it anymore and have “the big reveal” before the ceremony! This option can definitely help with photography--And get a bunch of those pix out of the way early!
And you just might get a shot of the groom like this...
