  If you are non religious like myself, you may not want to follow old traditions that were based on religious beliefs, for example:

  “Roman superstition held that wearing a veil would confuse the evil spirits that loomed near the bride. It was said that the spirits might be jealous of the new couple’s happiness and that covering the bride’s face would keep them from recognizing her.
  And yet another explanation . . . In ancient times, marriages were arranged by families and were often nothing more than good business deals. It happened more often than not that the first time the couples saw one another was standing at the altar on their wedding day. To ensure the groom wouldn’t have second thoughts at the sight of a bride perhaps less attractive than he’s assumed, veils were used to cover the bride’s face. The veil was not lifted until the very end of the ceremony, only after the groom had already said, “I do.”
  This may also be the reason why traditionally the bride and groom are not allowed to see each other the day of the wedding.
  Some traditions are rooted in superstition and closely connected with good and bad luck. One superstition proports that it is bad luck for a groom to see his bride on their wedding day. Another, also well know superstition is the tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a lucky sixpence in her shoe.” This most familiar of wedding-related sayings dates back to Victorian times.”

  Hope this helps!

  sure you can ride together. it would be romantic for someone to chauffeur you there. but many cultures and religions do have the couple ride and arrive together. why not? its your day. you do whatever makes you happy! I wish you both happiness and good health.

  There are no rules attached to your wedding day,so you may choose to do whatever you wish.The idea of separation was so the couple could think of life intolerable without each other,and the joy of union at the altar.

  Any way you want. At my wedding. My wife is Lutheran. I am Catholic. The church was Protestant. The minister was Episcopalian. And we had a keg of beer outside the church because it was 95 out.

  It depends on the values of the bride and groom. Just because they are non-religious doesn’t mean they don’t have any values.

  It depends on if you go by the tradition of the groom not seeing the bride before the ceremony or not. That has nothing to do with religion!

  Whichever way they want to. There’s no rules for that, even in a religious ceremony. That whole seeing each other before the wedding thing comes from pagan superstitions and times when marriages were arranged and people might not even meet each other until they were at the alter. It’s a bunch of hooey. Yeah, I said it hooey!

  We arrived at our ceremony together, when we eloped.

  It is really up to you. Separate can be romantic, but together can emphasize the term “union.”

  Good luck!

  There is no right or wrong way to arrive weather your religious or not. Its their wedding they should do what they want to.

  I guess that you could arrive “traditionally” but the actual ceremony would be what makes it religious.

  I think riding in on a pair of burros would be cute. Dressing the burros in tuxedos would be the icing on the cake.

  I think separately so they will look forward to seeing each other even more. It seems a little tacky to arrive together.
