So, I’ve been messing around with this whole wedding tradition thing, and I stumbled upon a question that got me thinking: Can the bride see the groom’s suit before the big day? I mean, we’ve all heard about the whole “it’s bad luck” thing, but is it really? I decided to dig in and see what’s up.
First, I hit up some wedding forums and, man, was there a bunch of different opinions. Some folks are super traditional and were all like, “No way, it ruins the surprise!” But then, there were others who were more chill about it. They were saying stuff like, “Who cares? It’s our wedding, we’ll do what we want.”
- One bride said she wanted to see the suit to make sure it matched the wedding theme. Makes sense, right?
- Another couple mentioned they did a “first look” and didn’t care about seeing each other’s outfits beforehand.
- Someone else brought up the whole “something old, something new, something borrowed” thing, but that didn’t really answer my question.
Then I went down a rabbit hole about the history of this superstition. Turns out, it might have started way back in the day when arranged marriages were a thing. Apparently, they didn’t want the groom to see the bride in case he didn’t like what he saw and backed out. Yikes!
After all that digging, I realized there’s no real right or wrong answer. I started to think about how I would do things and thought about the following.
My Realization
It’s all about what the couple wants. If they’re cool with seeing each other before the wedding, who am I to judge? And honestly, coordinating outfits sounds like a pretty good idea. I mean, you don’t want the groom showing up in a bright blue suit when the whole wedding is pastel-themed, do you?
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of wedding traditions. It seems like this one is more about personal preference than anything else. What do you guys think? Would you let your bride see your suit, or would you keep it a secret until the ceremony?
