    So I hear that many times couples are way too tired to have sex on their wedding night.  My SO were curious how true this is, since we're afraid we may be one of the too tired couples.  Also a few newlywed friends shared that it was a tough thing to carry out.  I guess that's what the honeymoon is for.  Either way we wanna try to make things romantic and hopefully have some energy left for each other.  Anyone else curious or have any suggestions?

    We managed it without difficulty (and in between bouts of taking care of some very drunken guests, no less).  I have two suggestions.  First, get started as soon as you get to your room.  If you shower/bath/lay down and relax first, the tiredness can take over.  Second, don't attempt epic, romance-novel sex or try something very new and different.  Go into it expecting nice, average sex and it will be fun!

    My main suggestions are: don't drink too much at the reception (definitely at least alternate alcoholic drinks with water, or just limit yourself to what you can handle without getting overly tipsy) and dont try to be the last man standing (your friends and family can entertain themselves if they want to stick around for an after-party).  Not sure what your logistics situation is, but is it possible for one of the bridal party members to get your room ready for you before you go up?  We were staying at the hotel where our reception was, and our best man went up and cleared away all the mess, put candles and flowers everywhere, and had someone bring up a little snack tray (cheese, fruit, wedding cake) for us to have later, and it really helped set the mood, to have such a gorgeous, romantic room to go back to (instead of a chaotic mess).

    We were tired but we managed! We even left our after-party early so we could go home and "celebrate".

    Ack, no! We made the mistake of eating, taking off the uncomfy wedding clothes, and tearing through the cards.... we both straight up passed out. :/

    Nope. :( I passed out at 10:00ish and he stayed up watching the Goonies. We made up for it the following night though. ;)

    we had a 4:00 wedding, but since I was losing my virginity to him, we technically did, but I'm sure it wasn't great for him     luckily it was still really a special night!

    Heck to the Yes! We didn't want to be one of those couples who didn't.

    For fun I wore a white cute little babydoll and a veil :)

    Ahead of time, I was kind of expecting us to be too tired, and while I was exhausted, we had a very good time together.

    My husband spent our wedding night with a stomach flu. So, no, we didn't. Sometimes life throws you a curveball!

    Yes.  And even though we'd been living together (and....) for 4 years at that point, it was still amazing.  I'm really, really happy we did :-)

    We were too tired honestly.  And with my health stuff, sex hasn't been too amazing lately sadly.

    Plus going back to your own house isn't really too romantic.

    We tried, but things didn't physically work out. I think we were over tired and nervous. We did do it the next morning, not great but the deed was done. We were both virgins.

    We were so exhausted! I had always told myself there was no way I was not getting busy on my wedding night.. but after being up at 7 am and not back to our room till 1  am, there was just no way we could manage it! We've been making up for it everyday since the wedding though Wink

    We did make sure to have a room at a local hotel for our wedding night. I had a feeling we were going to be really tired.  So I kind of didn't expect to do it. I prepared for it.  My DH, poor thing, took his anxiety pills because he was really nervous... the pill interacted with the 5 drinks he had at the wedding.  He was passed out by the end of the night. A few of my BM asked me if I was mad.  (They didn't know about the drug interaction, they thought he drank too much.) No not really.  I thought we were going to be exhausted and I knew he was having a good time.  I had a great time too.

    Since we got back to the hotel room around 7pm (we had an early ceremony & reception) we were able to relax and enjoy the evening.  We WERE exhausted though so it was not an epic session.  Just something sweet and an excuse to show off a little lacy something I had picked up!

    Just don't go into it expecting too much. And don't be upset if it doesn't happen! I was totally surprised we did, we both didn't think it was going to happen but it did!

    cheerful    September 2009 - eloped  

    We passed out, ahem, *on the floor* of our hotel room we were so tired. We didn't even make it to the bed! Thankfully we'd put on an iPod playlist and after about half an hour a louder song came on and woke us up so we could make it to the bed. In retrospect, I am still amazed by how amazingly comfortable that floor was... but I guess anything is when you're that tired!

    Thanks for the advice ladies!  Like many of you suggested I think it would be so much better if I didn't have any expectations, we're going to have a long day, so if it happens it will be a nice surprise.

    I'm sort of embarrassed to write this just because I'm not really all that anonymous.  But no we didn't!  Our priority was to enjoy hanging out with our friends and party as long as possible.  I think I was too drunk anyway!!

    We did, it wasn't the super kinky session DH was probably hoping for but it was still great. Our reception was over by 11pm and neither of us was too drunk. I trotted around in just my knickers (which said Mrs NewLastName on the back) and high heels for a while to get him in the mood :) He still talks about that.

    Heck Yes!! We didn't get to our room until after Midnight when everyone was gone and I did shower first (it was a HOT day) - it was an amazing night, our WEDDING night! we never talked about it beforehand and I never really much thought about it because I honestly couldn't imagine us not doing so on the night we got married. And he gave me my gift and read me the most beautiful and romantic letter when I got out of the shower..... but everyone is different and you def don't want to put any pressure on yourselves!

    Yes, but it wasn't fabulous because we both were so exhausted! The next morning - realizing "holy crap" we're married - now that was a nice time! Laughing

    yes we did, but it wasn't that exciting.  It was like 1am and we were soooo tired.  But we forced each other to do it - have to consummate the marriage!
