Rule #1: Don't Let the Groom See You Before the Wedding
Why You Should Break It: It's not bad luck for your love to lay eyes on you before the ceremony. In fact, it could make the whole day run more smoothly. "Had I not seen my groom for pictures beforehand, I would have missed my entire cocktail hour and most of the reception,” says Orlee Graae, 25, Wood Ridge, CT. "My advice is to see your groom beforehand for pictures so that you can both spend more time with your guests to enjoy."
