Did DH see your wedding dress before the big day?

I stole this question from MM.

Did DH see your dress before your wedding day?  Did he see a picture?  Or were you traditional and he saw it for the first time with you in it?

    We are the farthest thing from traditional. He saw it. It was hanging in our closet for 3 years and I also showed it to him on me to make sure he didn't hate it.

    He saw it for the first time when I walked through the doors to head down the aisle. He didn't want to see it or know anything about it at all. I actually wanted his help picking it out. Best I could get from him was watching Say Yes to the Dress a few times to see what he hated.
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

    I was out of town when mine was delivered, so had to get it and make sure it was in correct condition.  He called to tell me that the dress was incorrect because it "just wasn't white" and I had to explain to him the many variations of white, ivory, cream and champagne in wedding dresses.  He was so worried my ivory/pink dress would be inappropriate for a Mississippi wedding, but it was obviously just fine.

    I was traditional and he did not see it until I walked down the aisle. He also had no clue what it looked like either as he wasn't big on that part of the wedding.

    Totally traditional!  He didn't see the dress until I was walking down the aisle to him!

    We were halfway traditional -- he knew nothing about the dress (except he made me promise it wasn't all "cupcake-y") and saw it for the first time with me in it on our wedding day.  However, this was an hour or two before the ceremony for pictures instead of walking down the aisle.

    Mostly traditional. I told DH about it, like that it was ivory and had lace, but he didn't actually see it until I walked down the aisle. I would have been okay with him seeing it, but he was the one that really wanted to have the moment, which was adorable so I went with it.

    He saw the picture of the model online, which actually looked nothing like the dress (it was ivory with a gold sash; mine was white with a coral sash), so I guess it really was when I was walking down the aisle.

    He didn't see me in it until I went down the aisle. He did see some pics I collected online of some of the dresses i was interested in (which may have included the one I bought, but I didn't tell him which one I got). He wasn't really that interested in the whole process....

    He wasn't super interested in seeing it, so I didn't show him. I think I had told him that the dress was changed from a halter top to spaghetti straps, but that's probably it that he knew ahead of time.

    The mister was really, really superstitious about not seeing my dress until I was walking down the aisle. If it wasn't so important to him, I would have showed him before hand. I was terrified that he was going to hate what I picked...

    He told me he did not want to see it, so I did not make him.  My dress was, however, featured prominently in a national commercial (not my personal dress, but the same dress), so every time that commercial came on I would look over at him.  I think I might have once asked him if he liked that dress, but didn't push it.

    Pretty traditional. He saw a different color of the same style in a magazine ad and I'm 100% sure he didn't remember it after that because I showed him several.

    I bought a super informal dress online and he helped zip me up. He had to zip me up each time I tried it on for my "fittings."

    Definitely traditional. We didn't even want to meet or do pictures ahead of time.

    I had the double doors thrown back, grand entrance. He cried (I did not). It was perfect.
