Ok, so the other day, BF and I were at a local park, sitting on a bench by the pond, and across the pond we saw a bride and groom having pictures taken with their wedidng party. Coincidentally, not 10 min later, another bride and groom and their "entourage" (as the BF called it) came from the opposite end of the same bridge and were having their pics done too. Being 92 degrees F that day, I commented how hot those brides must be under all that gown. This sparked a discussion between BF and I about when the best time to have wedding pics done would be, in our opinion (not necessarily OUR wedding pics, just in general). We both brought up the old tradition of the groom not seeing the bride until the ceremony, and how if you have pics done before the ceremony (like my sister did)..it kinda takes that away. The downside to having them afterwards is that everyone could be puffy-faced from crying, and make-up could be ruined..etc. Anyway, having this conversation with him made me wonder what your opinions were and what some of you engaged ladies plan on doing, and what some of you already married ladies did for yours.
Just to add a disclaimer - this is in no way planning for our own, "possibly futuristic" wedding. Just a conversation sparked by what we saw and I thought we both had valid points and was curious about yours.
