    I hear people do it usually 6 months before. Other stop a month before. What is your personal decision on this?

    We have no intentions of stopping.  I understand that some people do, but it's just not for us.

    We've stopped at about 4 months out. HOWEVER, that's only because we had a pregnancy scare last month and I don't need the extra stress. I'd be fine if we happened to get pregnant after the wedding but I really don't want to before.

    We're definitely not stopping until a night or 2 before the wedding.  We need it as our stress reliever! We both get super cranky without sex. :p

    We may not have sex for a couple a weeks before the wedding but that is just because we will be busy with everything. Otherwise we aren't stopping for any special wedding night purpose...although I jokingly use it as a threat lol.

    If I could do it the morning of I would to be honest.  I can just imagine my mom, god-mom and FMIL all in the room while Im  getting ready and I know I will be super stressed and need some "reflief".  I'll probably need a valium since I wont be able to have FI.

    About a week, because my mom is flying in to stay with us. Mom does not equal sexy time.

    No plans on stopping. We aren't spending the night together the night before, so I guess the day before? It'll be more of a "bah, we have no time to do it" situation 'round here.

    Considering we have sex more than once a day, one night will be more than long enough for both of us. If we do that...hard to stop something that wonderful.

    DH suggested stopping a month beforehand, which surprised me. We thought it might be fun since we've never stopped before, but it didn't last at all. As others have said, we needed the stress relief! Plus it's our way of reconnecting and playing together, so really why would you want to miss out on those fun times right when you need them most? That's how it ended up for us anyway!

    We have no plans of stopping either.  however, my dad has been living with us since his surgery, so it's been a few days now.. we are going to have to sneak out to get things done I think! ha.

    We stopped a year before the wedding. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Didn't really make anything more 'special' to the point i felt "wow that was worth it!".

    Eh....

    We're waiting until we're married to have sex. However, we're planning on not doing anything sexual (just kissing) for 6 months before the wedding. =)

    @melodicsighs1 yep at least everyday, more than once a day most days. We have both been in relationships where sex was not happening so now it is wonderful.

    we stopped two months before. He wanted four months, but he remembered it would mean no birthday sex, so we pushed it back. I think it actually made it better last night and this morning (married yesterday).

    We won't for about a week and a half before the wedding. But that's only because I'm flying out there before he is ;]

    We have talked about stopping a couple months before the wedding, but I don't really know if it will work out that way. We don't live together, and don't plan on moving in together until we get married, so maybe it will be easier than most to stop for a bit.

    However, my libido is out of this world and i really don't think i could go very long without any action. :)

    The night of the wedding will be wonderful, whether we have been abstinent for months or just had sex that morning. IT'S OUR WEDDING NIGHT!

    We are not stopping I don't really see the point!

    What's done is done and every time is special so I think the wedding night will already be extra special because he gets to take me out of a wedding dress!

    We don't plan on stopping either! At least not intentionally. But it will realistically be for a week, because we are flying home at different times and each staying with our own parents. I think the wedding night will be great none the less :)

    We're both Christian. Soon after I got engaged, then saved at our church, then became a reborn Christian I moved out of my FI back to my mother's house. It was hard, but I did it. I really wanted to stay pure for my wedding. We fell into temptation a few times.... but as it came closer to our wedding it was easier to abstain.

    We didnt' stop...great stress reliever and boy did we have pre-wedding stress the last month or two. I don't think we could have stopped without going more crazy. :)
