You were certainly up and chipper the next morning after the wedding! As opposed to some others whom I will keep nameless… (God bless McDonald’s breakfast menu)

I can’t speak from experience as I haven’t been and am not currently married, but here’s my thoughts regarding this in my own personal situation.

If we go ahead with the plans that we have for how we want our wedding, then I would definitely expect to have wedding night sex. I can understand after all the planning (and partying) that goes into some weddings, that it would be exhausting and just easier to go to bed (to sleep).

As for whether you’re marriage is doomed if you don’t have sex on the night of your wedding…well I (personally) think it’s just superstition. What about the whole saving a piece of wedding cake and eating it on your first anniversary? Same goes, I think. At the end of the day your relationship/marriage is going to work if you’re both putting the effort in to maintain it. ‘They’ were right when ‘they’ said relationships are hard work. But damn if isn’t worth it :-)

I’m cracking up because I am the same way when it comes to passing out after big nights! The beauty of a good relationship is the other person doesn’t hold it against you when you’re three sheets to the wind and passed out cold!

Hahahaha – ditto! We got to our honeymoon destination at like 2am & were TIRED. We passed out sober! But then again, we lived together for almost a year. Maybe that’s a huge deciding factor – whether you lived together before your wedding. Because then it’s not really a huge deal???

Os, that’s my normal NON hung over personality….all spunky and chipper like ;)

Hehehe……

Lucy- I agree with everything you said on all levels. And believe me, nothing sounded hotter than having PC throw my wedding dress up and have some hot fun sex. But alas….when the night came to an end that obviously wasn’t the case. Oh well. Still fun day. :)

Babe- EXACTLY!!! *grins*

  Vixen

Roxy, that might very well be the case. If we hadn’t ever had sex (you know those two years before we got married, lol) then maybe it would have been a different story/more important.

If you don’t have relations the night of your wedding, you will end up divorced!
True, about half the time.

If you do have relations the night of your wedding, you will end up divorced!
True, about half the time.

If one night of sex (or lack of it) can make or break your relationship, you haven’t done a very good job selecting your partner.

Americans spend too much time focusing on how their relationship or their partner can make them happy. I think they should be focusing on how they can make themselves better people and get happy along the way. You SO is someone you want with you on your journey.

I actually doubt that very many couples actually have sex on their wedding night. With all the work and stress that goes into weddings these days it seems that the bride and groom would just want to crash when they finally get back to the hotel. That’s what we did and here we are ten years later.

On another note – I wish I had honeymooned at Hedonism, sounds fun!

  Vixen

Prof Fate, lol. Agreed. ;)

Jeff- that’s what I’m thinking too.

Well, it was a kick ass place to honeymoon but you can go there anytime. I highly recommend it! I’m dying to go back again sometime soon!

Hmmm
I dunno. I have been married once and tripled up on the wedding night, as well as doubled up on the morning of.

Reckon what that means?

  PC

Well, I don’t think it was just that you were drunk. I also remember something about thousands of mosquitoes and the two of us trying to protect ourselves with the netting from your crinoline.

;)

  A Mother's Thoughts

Well let’s start this off by saying I’m married (not happily but I got the papers). I think that celebratory events are so exhausting, that by the time you get to the bedroom, you just want to curl in a ball and die…I mean sleep. Why can’ it be morning sex!!!? Why can’t we be happy being rested, where you can fuck…I mean have sex when you both are rejuvinated! I think that consumation of a married is WAY to overrated. Now I would have to say, I was bullied (that’s right, true love right there) that I had to have sex the night of our wedding. “It’s just the thing you are suppose to do.” Well I catch on to his little game when Tuesday turning Wednesday was an eventful time. So I say morning sex!!

Vixen,

Let me know when you’re going and I’ll meet you there!

  Vixen

PC, DOH! Totally forgot about that part.
Haha!!!

Lynn- I’m all or morning sex. And day sex…. And night time sex…. *ahem* But yeah. I agree with what you had to say ;)

On our wedding night, Veronica and I drove 3 hrs to the Poconos in PA for our honeymoon. We were exhausted when we got there, crawled in bed, looked at each other and basically said “yeah, I guess we should” and had sex. Don’t know what that says about us :-)

  Emmy

Our wedding night – we had sex even though we both wanted to sleep. It was pretty ridiculous how we felt like we had to do it given how freaking exhausted we were.

And like you, if it is an event night – FAIL.
Too much work beforehand, I guess.

  Joanna Cake

Nope, no sex on my wedding night.

  nitebyrd

No. It takes more than that to doom a marriage.

I’m lovin’ that last picture!

  kittykillkill

Interesting. Personally, I can’t remember if I had sex with my first husband but obviously that ended in divorce. I did definitely have sex w-Temper the day we got married. So far so good on the second marriage.

Not sure if whether or not you have sex on your wedding night will determine the outcome of your marriage. There are unforeseen reasons not to have sex on your wedding night. Sickness, etc…
