I don't want everyone to see me before I walk down the isle

pinkie798

I'm getting married next month at a park and I don't want anyone to see me (of course except my parents and BMs) before I walk down the isle. However, I don't know if this is even possible! The location of our ceremony is out in the middle of the park. No matter where I come from, eyes will be on me long before I start my walk down the isle. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can stay hidden?

Just think of it as a very long aisle? 

Because it's awkward for people to stay turned around I have a feeling they won't turn around until the music starts.

can you bring a small tent/canopy to "hide" in before the ceremony?

Walk behind your BM and they'll obstruct the view of you.  Other than that it will look a bit silly having props for you to hide behind.

I have a friend that rented a classic car and the car drove her closer to where she walked down the isle. It turned out very nice!

Could you wear something like a white cape or something that would obscure your dress and then take it off once you make it to the aisle?    It might be kind of pricey to buy and a little "supermanish".  If its in the middle of the park, it doesnt sound like you could have someone drive you up to it in a car.....   Any chance of a horse drawn buggy that could drop you at the aisle? Trying to think outside the box here

[QUOTE]Honestly, I don't see how you could keep this from happening.   You're getting married in a public park.  You can't clear out the entire park so no one will look at you.  You could always change your venue to somewhere indoors, so you can stay hidden in a room until time for the ceremony, I guess.

This!  You're getting married in a public place, so people are going to see you.  Just smile and enjoy it.

Thanks for the ideas everyone! I think that I'll go ahead and have my BMs walk in front of me as some of you suggested. Such a simple idea, don't know why I didn't think of it earlier:) Thank you again!

For my Brother's wedding we used a tent/canopy and used safety pins to pin sheets along the front and side. The room she was getting ready in was behind the tent so we were able to get her into the tent without people seeing her. Is there a way to pull up behind something? Maybe you can turn the ceremony so you can use something like we did. The classic car idea is great too, take advantage of making an entrance. Good Luck!
