    So, I was thinking about what to pack to wear on my wedding night and laughed because I will probably end up wearing sweats and a t-shirt and falling right to sleep even though a few people bought me bridal lingerie.  Then I realized that it is probably really common to just pass out after the wedding from exhaustion.  But then it occured to me that for some people, the "wedding night" may still be a really big deal.  Is that the case for anyone?  I'll make this a poll so no one has to reveal anything they don't want to.

    I am too.  I just fear that exhaustion will trump any other feeling.

    by the time we get married we'll have lived together for almost 4 1/2 years, and been together for a little over 5... but it will be our first night as husband & wife!  And that will make it even more special!

    To ME... I would probably rather just sleep. We have all honeymoon to get cozy and I'm sure I'll be exhausted... plus falling asleep cuddle'd (is that a word?) in my guy's arms is just about perfect to me.

    But

    I know it will be a big deal to him so I'm sure that I'll make an effort :)

    We lived together before we got married, but the wedding night was still a big deal. I was worried that I might be too tired too, but that didn't turn out to be a problem.

    We aren't living together and won't before we are married.  I may have been there, done that, but it is still our wedding night.

    Yeah, it's a big deal for us. It would be a tragedy if we were "too tired" to enjoy ourselves. I highly doubt that will happen though.

    yeah - "been there done that - but it IS still our wedding night" is my answer...

    not sure about our actual WEDDING - next june, that is...I'm sure I'll just pass out. lol

    but on our legal day (last april) let's just say it was a great night as a legally married couple.

    We're gonna play it by ear and see how we feel.  If it doesn't happen that night, it will happen the next morning!  ;)

    Since we live together now and have been dating for several years, yes, we've already done the deed.  But...it IS still our wedding night...and it would be the first time as husband and wife, and I'll still try to make it special. 

    I've heard all sorts of stories about being so tired and just going to sleep...and I've told myself to not be disappointed if that should happen.  We have seven wonderful nights on our honeymoon after that one night to make up for it...but I'd prefer to make it special!

    We were still on a "high" from the whole day. Yes, we were tired, but not THAT tired!

    We lived together before the wedding and had been there, done that...but I was determined that we would do the deed that night for two reasons.  The first and obvious reason was because it was our first night as husband and wife.  The second reason was because out of my group of friends, 2 did it their wedding night and 2 just went to sleep, so they had bets on what we would do because I would be the one breaking the tie...I wasn't going to let the people betting I'd rather sleep win!

    We've been together for 4.5 years, and will have been together for 6 when we get married.

    We haven't 'played twister' with each other yet, and I'm very excited. Part of me isn't worried if we fall asleep because we'll have the rest of our lives for it, but my FI is all ready talking about the wedding night with 1.5 years until the big day. He is assuring me we're gonna do it. As he says, 'we're going to all ready have waited long enough."

    lol. I'm excited! Nervous, but excited. I think we're going to make sure we 'take care of buisness' because it is our wedding night and we are looking forward to it.

    Redeemed Rebekah:  That is too funny about the song!!  But its sweet that you both are waiting, wow, 4 yrs!! 

    As for me, I think it'll happen just cause I know it'll be such a great day and even better ending to the night!!

    We're deliberately having an afternoon reception where we have to be out of the venue by 6PM so that we can unwind together and spend our wedding night together. Maybe even eat something! 

    At the end of the day I'll have lived with Mr Moo for 3 years and shared his bed all that time too, but it's still going to be the first night we're man and wife and we're going to do everything but sleep ;)!

    We're gonna play it by ear, if it happens it happens.  Depends on how the day goes. We'll be on our honeymoon for a week starting the next day and I know we'll be humping like rabbits so if it doesn't happen on the wedding night then its ok. Although I think after seeing me in my dress and how there's only a zipper holding it up, he won't be able to keep his hands off me! Kiss

    We were tired, but not so tired we didn't do it! I mean, really, it's your wedding night! At least be prepared JUST in case. We took a 13 month break and dammit if we weren't going to do it haha.

    I lived with my hubby prior to our wedding too but I was definitely looking forward to that time because it was the first time we were really alone. My FIL lives with us and so does his dog so we have a lot of responsibilities day-to-day so that night was great. Just the two of us.

    BTW - I had lingerie too and never used it. :)

    I'm fully prepared for both situations. If I'm not exhausted, I'll put on some ridonk underwear and we'll play, if I am, we'll just pass out nekkid. :p

    Oh, and we've lived together since, well, a week after we met. Classy college students. :)

    We've talked about it and I've made him aware that some people are too tired and not to be disappointed.  I get really bad migraines when I'm in front of a lot of people.  I do really good at masking it while I'm out there but afterwards all I can think about is crawling into my pj's and closing my eyes.  I'm planning to take something bright and early that morning to help fight it off but sometimes it just doesn't work for me!

    Funny, I've grown up in the theater dancing in front of thousands of people... You'd think I'd get over my stress!

    Pray for me that I can fight it off for the wedding night! ;)

    Fifty foot - agree with you!  Worst case scenario, just passing out nekkid, is still pretty sweet.  There is the morning after all!
