My fiance hasn't seen my dress yet, but he came very close to seeing a picture of me in it on my phone. I got a little angsty and I explained that it wasn't because I'm supestitious (i'm really not) but that I want him to be surprised and blown away and all those things. He looked at me and laughed and said "do you think if i see you walking down the aisle in a dress I've seen you try on, I'm going to go 'Ugh, she's wearing that old thing?'"

He's a smart cookie, my man.

My fiance and I had our wedding outfits custom-made together, so he knows exactly what my hanbok looks like on and off of me. And of course I know how his looks on and off of him.

My Man most certainly did care about seeing, not seeing me in the dress before and he also helped me decide on the color. I had been thinking I would like a red or black dress, but thought that no one would like it…blah blah. So one day we were talking he said he thought it would be so awesome if I wore a black dress, as long as it didn't look like I was in mourning. Then he also surprised me when I tried to show him pictures of dresses I was considering and said, "I don't want to see the dress before I see you in it on our wedding day." Wow, blow me over. Anyway, I was a little aggravated, had wanted his input, but said alright. Now as it turns out, because of time constraints and photo-ops he will be seeing me in the dress the evening before the wedding, but decided it will be alright because we don't want to miss our on the opportunity to have some truly awesome pics around our area. I love him so much!

I agree that it doesn't matter. Besides, on your wedding day, your hair and makeup will be done special too so it will be the whole package he'll see, not just you in the dress.

I e-mailed my boyfriend a pic of the dress after I bought it just to get his opinion. Then he wanted to see it in person, so I tried it on for him. He thinks its great! I'm wearing a knee length one at our destination wedding – think he was just glad to see I still looked like "me" as opposed to some poofy vision in white he didn't recognize.

Lovely advice, and I will go and sniff tonight

But my darling is a very visual creature and what I am wearing is extremely important to him, and he will notice and remember every tiny detail, more than I will. As such he is fully involved in the design and the decisions. He says he doesn't want to see the final version *on me* until the day, to have some kind of surprise, but we will be meeting privately that morning so we share that surprise together, not for the benefit of the congregation. And vice versa with his outfit of course. My point is that not all men ignore the dress. For mine, that's more important than, for example, the readings or music.

Good job we are not superstitious at all!

We saved big bucks on our wedding photography by going to the studio to have the formal portraits taken rather than having the photographer travel to us (my uncle who used to be a pro photographer did the candids as a gift to us). So my DH saw me in my gown prior to the wedding.

We'll be celebrating our 10th anniversary at the end of this month

My first husband was with me when I found, tried on, and bought my dress. The divorce had nothing to do with him seeing the dress and everything to do with him being a nitwit. If your fiance's not a nitwit, don't sweat it.
