wedding night?

Question

ok guys i'm so excited i am about to get married and i waz wondering do the groom and bride sleep in the same room the night before the wedding,, and what is a garter??/? what is it for and what do u do with it???? remind you my very first wedding

Answer 1

Sleeping together (or the same room) the night before not typical. A garter is a lacy frilly thing a girl wears on her leg they are old fashioned they used to hold up a womans stockings. These days the garter is really just a tradition and its about putting on a show... at the reception most of the receptions I've been to the bride will sit or maybe stand the guy will kneel down and sometimes with his hands sometimes with his teeth he'll slide the garter down the brides leg and then take it off wave it around grandly a bit and then the tradition is to toss it over your shoulder to all the single guys in the room (get them standing together) the man that catches it is the next to get married.

Answer 2

You can sleep together the night before if you want but you are not supposed to see the bride the day of. The garter is on the brides leg and during the reception you go under the dress and take it off (usually with your teeth). The garter is for you to throw to all the single guys at the reception and when the bride throws the bouquet the those two that caught them are supposed to be the next to get married.

Answer 3

Traditionally you aren't supposed to see the bride before the wedding and a lot of people consider the night before as well. All the couples that I know who've gotten married recently spent the night before apart from each other, typically at a friends house or hotel. I plan on doing the same when I get married next summer.

A garter is an elastic band that the bride wears under her dress to hold up her stalkings, but they don't really hold them up. The groom typically takes the garter off at the reception and throws it into the crowd of single men. Whomever catches it will be the next man married.

Answer 4

Uh, not the night before unless you want. These days, it doesn't really matter. Sleep together if you want. A garter is a little thingy that goes around the brides leg for that embarassing tradition that everyone posted about. It will NOT be happening at my wedding.

Answer 5

NO! You're not supposed to see your future spouse before the bride walks down the aisle. Also, the garter is worn on the brides leg and the groom takes it off at the reception and throws it to the eligible men, kind of like the bouquet.

Answer 6

no, you sleep separtely the night before, cuz he's not supposed to see you until the ceremony!! and a garter is basically a strip of cloth that you put on your thigh that he removes during the reception and throws to the single men, like yu throw your bouquet to the single woman. the man who catches the garter must put it on the woman who caught the bouquet.
historically, garters were thrown to the guests to distract them from the couple trying to get to the room to consummate the marriage, which came befoer the reception. often guests would get over zealous and start trying to "help" the couple with, erm getting undress. also, a piece of bride's clothing was considered good luck. so they invented garters so people would argue over that instead of earing the bride's clothing to shreds!
good luck and congrats!

Answer 7

My fiance and I are going to be in the same room the night before.

Our wedding is destinational. It is non traditional, therefore, the whole typical "tradition" stuff will not apply to our plans.

Garter was used to help keep a woman's stockings up. Now it is a form of fun entertainment to spice up during the reception/dance etc.

Answer 8

You don't want to curse it so don't sleep with her the night before. Garter is just a piece of cloth that she puts on her leg under her dress. You take it off of her and throw it to all the single men. Kind of like tossing the flowers. You will do fine, just take a deep breathe and relax.

Answer 9

wow... after the wedding.. sleep i the same room, bed yea...

go slow, don't expect too much the first night as your hormones will all be screaming, "Me first!" so, treat your new bride too a bath, (if room has one) give her some personal space and let her adjust too you ... and do ALOT of cuddling, and small kissing.. hold back on the liquor.. no drunks... and some time in the near future go find a nice book on sex and start studying.. as there will always be issues...

we all bring some luggage into a relationship and understand each person has their own expectations of the relationship. Communication is a good thing....

Oh.. congrats...

ok, from experience, i didnt get much sleep at all before my wedding, i was too excited! we hired some hotel rooms for our guests and slept in different hotel rooms, him with his groomsmen and i took one to myself because i was too stressed. also my hubby snores so i wanted a good nights sleep! lol. but we text messaged each other in different rooms complaining about not sleeping together. it was about 4am before we got to sleep. if i could have i would have but then i hate tradition! we didnt do the whole garter thing, i found it quite sleazy and tacky but then i didnt throw a bouquet either. its really up to you guys. we are pretty shy people and didnt really like all the attention being on us, we just wanted to get out of there and be together!
