Jewish wedding night - why two beds?

Ok, I'll admit I'm very ignorant on many religious aspects, but also very curious. I could tell my friend didn't want to go into details, so I didn't ask. I'm wondering if anyone else knows this.

My friends said that on her wedding night next month she needed to find a hotel with a suite and seperate beds for her and her new husband. She said "It's really gross, so I won't go into the reason."

Now I'm curious!! LOL 

Can anyone explain?

I don't believe all Jewish people observe this but I could be wrong.

I had not heard of this until earlier this year when I saw it on the Tyra show.  The article pp explains it well.  Your friend should be able to find a hote suite with two beds.

that isn't gross at all.  your friend shouldn't feel bad about religious customs - let her know you were curious and you support her
