I'm wondering what people's wedding nights have been like. Are you able to have great sex after a long and emotionally draining day? Is it the best sex of your life because sex is 100% sanctioned by society, or does that actually make it less fun? If you or your spouse saved your virginity for wedding night, were you excited, terrified, or just super horny? If you're not married, what do you expect your wedding night to be like? I'm not getting married or anything, but this question just popped into my head since I just finished watching the 40 Year Old Virgin.
Since mine was just two months ago, I'll go ahead and answer. It was awesome. Seriously (and those of you who know my wife can stop reading ), any part of her shell that she was still hiding under was thrown off. I was honestly a little surprised since I was always the adventurous one. However, any Catholic guilt she had about sex was thrown out the window when the priest announced us man and wife. The only bad part about the sex part of the night was that we were a mix of tired and drunk. A bunch of friends came back to the hotel bar after the reception and we all got hammered, tuxes, wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses and all. We felt spending time with close friends and family on our biggest day was much more important than anything else. It was a blast.
Easy way to get over the drunk part: Viagra. Don't over do it though; you will end up with a kickstand all night.
We did it because your supposed to. We were up late, drinking etc. and had to catch a plane super early in the morning on the other side of town. But I don't remember a thing about it. I wish I would of thought of having her leave the dress on while we did it. I would of remembered that.
We did the very traditional thing; saved our technical virginity for our wedding night, and left during the reception and didn't come back. I hated that I didn't get to see everybody longer and felt guilty that I wasn't able to help clean up after the wedding, since everybody else had to (I was being cheap and didn't hire professionals to do a lot of those things), but I thought at the time that the ritual of going off on your honeymoon together was more important. Of course, then you've had no sleep, wish you could just hang out with everybody, and have driven down to, say, Corpus after getting lost on the way. It just felt like another road trip, except at the end of it, it's 3 in the morning and there's one more thing on your checklist of things to do: lose your virginity. I would have felt like I was being lame if I didn't go ahead and do it, but I was also kind of sad to be losing the "purity" that I'd held onto all those years. Oh well, it's just something that happens to you physically. It doesn't change who you are. Ferdinand was just excited and horny all day, I suspect, probably because he was finally getting some after a LONG time. It wasn't as great as I thought it was going to be. Neither of us knew what we were doing, for one thing. I thought it was going to feel more interesting than it did. It took him a minute to figure out how to do things (and then a few seconds after that). Not to give you TMI here. Overall, just kind of there, which describes that whole relationship, but at the time I was really trying to convince myself that it was working.
Thanks for sharing your stories with us. I wasn't sure if I was going to get any replies but you Cfans just continue to amaze me to no end! I have a lot of respect for people who are able to save their virginity until marriage. That must've taken a ton of will power and a lot of creative thinking. Rocketman, it sounds like you had a great time. I've always thought the wedding night is more of a formality, but good to know that some people go BUCK WILD on their special day.
Unless you're "experienced", I imagine wedding night sex to be the best worst sex of your life. I feel bad for the ladies cause the guy will get his.
Wedding day: still a virgin Wedding night: excited, horny, and fun Morning after: wife still claims was the best ever
my wife and I had monster loads of sex before marriage, so I can't really relate to your questions about "the night" from a religious inexperienced viewpoint we got married in Vegas on New Year's Eve, then went to a Guns n Roses concert at the Hard Rock Hotel then back to our room at the NY,NY...good times
Did it in the limo on way to hotel. However I had taken her virginity 8 years beforehand. Still, it was fun. Especially with her in that dress.
Ouch.... Never been married (that I know of) but since my band plays a lot of weddings, I could tell you some stories! A couple of months ago, we played one where the bride had passed out in the limo on the way to the reception. So what did the groom do? Came to the stage, announced that the bride was passed out, and told everyone to have a good time. Then he stayed and drank with his buddies for the next 4 or 5 hours. The bride didn't even make an appearance! I assume she was OK because the groom was still at the bar when we left...
