Had an interesting conversation last night, just looking for a coorelation..

So, I did not find out the sex of the baby...it was a "surprise" I also did not see DH the day of the wedding till I was walking down the isle. I wanted that big moment. Am I just a big moment person?

Did you-find out the sex?
see DH before ceremony?

Same here.

I think there is a huge difference between the two events so I don't think choosing one or the other determines whether you are a big moment person vs a practical person.

I don't see a correlation.

We waited to find out the sex of both dcs. I think having a baby is a huge moment regardless of whether you knew the sex or not. For me I wanted the additional surprise finding out the sex. I also didn't see my DH until I walked down the aisle.

Those that saw their DHs beforehand still had that "moment" walking down the aisle to their husband-to-be.

Yes both are big moments, but I don't think you are less of a "moment" person if you did either of those things. I see it more along the lines of some people like a surprise, some like to be prepared.

I saw DH before the ceremony. We were married at the catering hall so we chose to do pictures beforehand. But the photographer did set it up so that we were alone the first time we saw each other that day.

We didn't find out the gender of either baby.

Guess I am just impatient! We saw each other before ceremony, mainly for sake of pics so we could attend the cocktail hour.
Found oiut sex of baby so it would be easier to prepare for her!

I am with you Janice. Very few of those kind of moments in life.
The first time we found out the sex was in the delivery room when they said, "it's a boy" and the first time I saw DH was walking down the aisle.

Re: Had an interesting conversation last night, just looking for a coorelation..

We found out the sex of both of our babies. Now the wedding question is a little tough to answer. I moved with DH a week before we eloped. We saw each other before because we lived together and we drove to Reno. We NEVER told our families we were married. 2 days after we eloped we got pregnant with #1. When we told or families we were excepting they demanded a wedding before the baby was born. So I was 7 months pregnant getting "married" The only person at our wedding that knew we were really already married was the pastor. Our parents made us sleep seperate and we couldn't see eachother untill I was walking down the aisle.

We did the same thing at our wedding and we didn't find out the sex too.

Just curious did your family ever find out the truth or is this still a big secret?
