The "No Look" First Look

I was actually all set to doing the first look with Mox because I wanted to have a private moment with him before all the chaos during our wedding day. But when I suggested this idea to him, he flatly refused to do it because he wanted to be surprised when he would see me in all my bridal glory at the church.

And while I felt kilig that he wanted to preserve that special moment, I also felt sad because I wouldn’t have any chance to be alone with him for a minute before we get married.

Then I suddenly had an inspiration when I saw what Patty Laurel did during her wedding. She and her then-fiance also had a “first look”, but with a twist! They didn’t actually see each other because they were hidden behind a big door. But they had a chance to exchange letters, talk and even hold hands! They had a private moment together without breaking tradition. Oh diba, it’s a win-win situation!

I wanted the same thing for our wedding. And since Mox doesn’t want to see me before we get married, then I’d just find a way to hide myself from him and yet have a chance to hug, kiss and talk to him. I could do what Patty did—hide behind a door—or I could blindfold him! That way, I won't be too worried that he would get a glimpse of me wearing my bridal gown.

Here are some pictures of the "no look" first look that I got from the Internet.

Of course, if Mox still doesn't want to do this, then maybe we could just have breakfast together on that day. Hehe.
