    Last night, at a work happy hour, we all started talking about wedding night sex.

    I told some friends that I will probably be too tired after all of the festivities to have sex on our wedding night. I'll probably want to go to sleep. Which isn't a big deal. We've been together for almost 7 years and have been living together for 5.

    One coworker told me that she did have sex with her husband on her wedding night, but she was SO tired that she was like "Hurry up and get it over with so I can go to sleep." Hahaha!

    Another coworker told me that he and his wife had sex on their wedding night, but they were both virgins until then so it was a bigger deal for them.

    I know a lot of married couples who did have sex on their wedding night, and a lot who didn't. So I'm just curious.

    we probably won't... we'd like to, but we're both going to be exhausted and are already sexually active... so the "wedding night" isn't as significant for us as others who may have waited.

    Dammit. I had to fix the choices (I forgot one) and now they're all messed up. I meant to vote for "We probably won't."

    I would say it's unlikely that we will, lol. I think we're going to be tired and honestly, won't want to put in the effort, lol.

    I had heard so many friends who got married say that their wedding night sex was the worst they ever had and they just felt obligated, so that was kind of what I was expecting (we'd been together for 8 years and living together for 3).  But, I got a good night of sleep before the wedding and so did he, and we were still on such a (metaphoric) high from the wedding that we had a great time.

    I fully plan on having sex on my wedding night! It won't be a first time thing for us, but we're going for it. I think it will be a nice way to end the day, that is if we are not nodding off at that point.

    We haven't had sex and we're planning *not* to have sex our wedding night. I figure we've gone this whole time, so why do I want the first time to be when we're both exhausted, a little tipsy and in some hotel in Kansas. I'd much rather be rested and in some place that's a little more tranquil and picturesque, instead of caving to tradition.

    You gotta have sex on your wedding night!  Even of the short and quick variety.

    Can't believe I'm sharing this on the internet but yea, we had sex.  It was far from my A game though, that's for sure.  I was basically like your co-worker.  I sluggishly went to the bathroom to put on my lingerie, came out and was like, "let's just do this".  From what I remember, there was a series of minor, exhaustion induced mishaps, involving candles (as it turns out, hot wax isn't sexy) and some rose petals.  We were so tired!  Lol.  We had had an after party that went too far!  I wasn't even able sleep restfully anyway though, the excitment was still surging through me!  Ah well, we've made up for it.

    We talked about that to all of our married friends, and none of them did.  Most of the grooms were too drunk.  But, neither of us were drunk and we had a great time!

    I can't imagine not having sex on our wedding night. I agree with some of the previous posts that it probably won't be the best cause we will be exhausted but even though we are currently having sex, I just think it will be really special because it is our wedding.

    @jennifer_espos: LOL!!!! Hot wax.... That's too funny! Kudos to you for getting up the energy to put on the lingerie!

    I'm figuring we likely won't, or if we do, it'll be of the exhausted variety. I'm not planning on bringing lingerie, for some reason I think him helping me out of my wedding gown is really sexy :)  I'm saving the lingerie for the HM!

    Didn't. I danced the entire night so by the time we got to our room, I was limping and hobbling. Lying in bed was painful. Mood killer :)

    We didn't. Hubs passed out drunk and I was exhausted. It was the first time we were both able to let loose after all the wedding planning, so we partied hard, and crashed hard. 

    We'd been living together for four years, though, so like, it wasn't a big deal. We made up for it on our honeymoon.

    I thought we were going to be way too tired to have sex, I mean I got up at 6:00 am and we didn't get to bed until after 1:30 am!  But we did, and it was awesome!  Haha..... All the stress from the last few months was gone, we had a huge king size bed to enjoy and we took advantage!  I even put on my bridal lingerie!  But since I had to be helped out of my dress, it wasn't that big of a surprise....

    We had kind of planned to do it, but were taking a we'll see what happens approach.  We already had in place the drink rule, one alcoholic beverage, then water, than back if you want.  But I didn't drink much, I was dancing and having fun and was so thirsty all I wanted was water, so I wasn't really even drunk, more buzzed than anything.

    It wasn't our first time, and we were still having sex before the wedding. Actually we had sex the night before the night before our wedding!  Lol, but it was really great being Mr and Mrs on our wedding night.

    @jennifer_espos: - Haha... your post reminded me that before we got to our room, one of DH's high school friends spread a bunch of rose petals on the floor and bed for us.... so sweet of him!

    We were definitely way too tired to do it.  i had been up from 7am to 3am (the next day), so it didn't happen.  We just saved it for the morning after :-)

    We were also way too tired! I barely slept the night before and got up at 6am for my prep work! We also stayed out until about 4am between the hotel bar and people's rooms, so we didn't get to bed until after then...and I'm not going to lie, I was exhausted.

    We definitely made up for it on our honeymoon though :o)

    We've talked about waiting another night for the exhaustion reason.  We're both virgins and I would rather not have my first time be a bad time just cause we're exhausted.... buuuut we'll see if that actually happens or not haha. :)

    We did and it wasn't our first time.  But I have to say I needed a shower before we got down to business.  When I took my dress, spanx, and sticky bra off I smelled SO BAD that it made me gross out.  He was like omg babe you stink!  All that sweat isn't very sexy :)

    No wedding night nookie here either.   It was 4 am by the time we got back to our B & B, and we were waaaaay too exhausted and coming off of our intoxicated states and just need to pass out.  :)  We also lived together prior to marrying and we were nowhere close to being virgins.  No regrets though.

    We did, and it wasn't our first time.  It was hilarious.  My husband couldn't get my dress off (it had like a zillion buttons) and I had to like, turn it around and unbutton it myself.  Then we did it and it was really bad and awkward and felt like the first time, and then took a bath.  Then we vowed to have better sex every day on the honeymoon.

    I always thought I'd have wedding night sex but we didn't, mainly bc immediately after our wedding ended my hubby had some weird allergic reaction to something (probably someone's perfume that he kissed goodbye to) and he literally exploded like Will Smith on Hitch, his throat was closing up, the whole deal- it was scary! Everyone scrambled to drug him with Benadryl, and then he was totally exhausted and out of it. Since he was fine it's now a pretty funny story, surprised I never told on here, actually. I was almost married for less time than Brittney Spears!! Needless to say there was no hanky panky, although I doubt we would have anyway because of exhaustion/afterparty/etc.

    I tend to get tired really easily so I thought I'd be too tired on the night of, but we were on such a high from having a great time at the wedding, and it ended up being really nice and special. There were a lot of "I love you's" and gazing into each other's eyes which we normally aren't that into, but just knowing that we were doing it for the first time as husband and wife... it made it amazing. :)

    But then on our 3 day minimoon, we only did it once. Is that normal?

    Lol, love this thread....  I think we probably will, but we usually party pretty hard at weddings, too.... and although i'm definitely not planning to drink as much, we'll probably be celebrating at the afterparty, too (our venue has a martini bar open til 2 :) !!  Anyway, we live together so if we don't that night, i'm sure we'll make up for it on the honeymoon :) :)
