Sexy Time

barbbhoww

Sorry for the questions, but I'm curious.......

Did you have sex the night of the wedding?  The morning of?

We are both planning on drinking (not getting TOTALLY drunk) and then have an after party.  I don't know if I'll make it and I'm not sure drunk sex is the best for our wedding night?  Does this make me sound like a whore and a lush?  Hmmm...  Can't beat me down for likin' it.

We did.

FWIW, I really recommend not being drunk.  Drinking at your wedding  - fine.  But for all the money you're spending, why not make sure you enjoy it?

That said, don't put pressure on the wedding night.  Let what happens happen.

DH and I did "do it' on the wedding night, but it wasn't, blow your mind this is fantastic.  It was however tender and wonderful - but don't freak if it doesn't happen either.  Many of my married friends either had drunk sex or just plain bad sex on their wedding night.

BTW, I feel that you should refrain from using the term "sexy time"

EDIT: The bolded statement is my edit.

We had sexy time the next morning.  We were so exhausted and worn out from the day that night of just wasn't in the cards.  By the way, we had the reception and then an after party.  Neither of us was wasted, but we had enough fun and drink in us that all we wanted to do was sleep by the time we got to the hotel.

Yes, we did.  Also, ditto others who say you shouldn't get wasted.  First of all, you're paying a ton for the party...  And second of all, there's NOTHING attractive about a drunk bride  I believe we'd call that klassy on here

We did not.  Just because we were so tired. Sometimes I regret not doing it and other times I think there's a lot of pressure to do something like that so that it's hard to live up to wedding night standards.

I had a lot of drinks at our wedding, but I was not even close to feeling drunk or buzzed.  Too much excitement from the day I guess.

We had sex on our wedding night but it was a quickie.

Ah the joys of an afternoon luncheon reception!  Yes we drank, but our reception was over by 3:30 so we were not too drunk or too tired.

We drank, but I didn't get drunk until after the after party at our hotel with just a few people. We took a nice shower and went to bed instead of getting busy. To be honest, we didn't consummate our marriage for 3 days. There were family BBQs the two days after the wedding and we were just exhausted. I'm bummed about that, but I still remember how tired we were.

I was the same way. I just felt mellow, but not drunk. I was surprised because I have a very low tollerance for alcohol.

Honestly, I don't remember if I got any lovin on our wedding night. The entire day is such a blur. I'm pretty sure it was the next morning

We won't be drinking, the reception should end fairly early, and my parents are dealing with clean up, so I'm hoping!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

My mom is adamant that we shouldn't have an after party because we'll want to be alone. "You know, ALONE." Yeah, stop right there, mom.

I"ll be honest, I don't get the need for an afterparty.

Then again, the whole brunch thing was wound up by 2pm.

Me either, Moose. Me either.

For us, we didn't do an "after party" that was organized but we did meet people for drinks.

I had family members that I hadn't seen in YEARS.  DH and I knew what it was like to have sex.  We didn't have a ton of time to talk to our guests.
