As a non-married person, I am just dying to know: what are wedding nights really like? Listen, I know the wedding night is traditionally supposed to be the night a couple really physically celebrates their love. But, like, aren't they tired? Is everyone really just going to pound town after hours of cake and dancing and drinking? Well, luckily, I no longer have to wonder, thanks to a Reddit thread in which people shared what they really did on their wedding nights.
Throughout the Reddit thread, plenty of married people gave their totally unfiltered accounts of what they really did on their wedding nights and every single one of them is, in my opinion, perfect in its own way. Some of them really did make love. Some of them enjoyed some kinky role-playing. Some of them opted out of sex altogether and, instead, just played board games on their hotel bed. The point is these stories go to show there's no one way you should be spending your wedding night. Read along and find 10 totally different narratives of what a great wedding night can look like, because there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
I had a huge dress on. We had been drinking for hours we ran into our room had a decent quicky, ran out into the hallway where I declared in a loud drunken whisper " I don't have panties on" while following our friends to an after after wedding party in another hotel room. Turns out my mom was behind me and howled with laughter, hugged me told me I was the perfect daughter, handed me a bottle of whiskey and sent me off with my husband to brew a wicked hangover.
We both had too much to drink, went to the hotel room and passed out until about 11 p.m.. Then got up and ate terrible Chinese food and finally tried fooling around which was terrible and we finally gave up.
Fortunately we'd been having great sex for the previous year so it wasn't any big deal, we laughed about it later and were married for 30 years. I feel for people who's first night together is their wedding night, after one of the most stressful days of their lives, probably drinking too much, etc., chances are it's not going to be great sex, doesn't mean it can't be great emotionally though.
Eloped without telling anyone and got married in the basement of the courthouse in Harrison, AR. Went home, wife went to her overnight job while I laid on the couch and watched tv.
We had a noon wedding and lunch reception, so we got to our hotel around 5:00. We'd had sangria, but weren't drunk, and since we'd abstained for a month before the wedding, we were ready to go. Round one happened and we took a nap. Woke up around 8, ate some leftover food that our awesome caterers had packed up for us and someone had put in our car, watched some TV, had sex again, and fell asleep. Perfect and relaxing evening.
Enjoyable. We had our hotel room the day before the wedding. Got to the church, did our thing, had a blast at the reception. We leave the reception, my bride tells me her period started at the f*cking church. We walk around our favorite store and bought a new board game. We played Monopoly and watched TV on the most comfortable bed we had ever slept on.
See how every one of these stories was perfect in its own way?
