I answered no because we didn't that night. But we did as soon as we woke up in the morning. Same here. DH was a touch too inebriated and I was exhausted!

We did. I purposely scheduled our driver to come early in the night so we had an excuse to get out of there. I didn't care about the reception once the cake was cut, all I wanted to do was be with my new husband. And even though we had done it a hundred times before there was something really awesome about that night.

We did - my DH said this was the one night where everyone is "supposed" to have sex and he was going to LOL. We were drunk and tired - but successful Then got up at 8:00 a.m. with very little sleep for a breakfast with family - ugh!

We did not, got to the hotel really late and had to be up early to catch a flight. We were both exhausted!

I have been married FOUR times and never had sex on my wedding night! 1st time - 8 months pregnant and neither of us was interested 2nd time - exhausted, fell asleep watching "The Jackson Five" mini series 3rd time - drove to airport hotel one hour away after the reception, checked in very late and discovered new DH had left my suitcase at the house, I went to bed while he drove the two hour round trip to get it 4th time - new DH had worked a 14 hour shift the night before and barely made it through the vows before sleeping for 18 hours straight I'm thinking the 5th time is the charm!

We didn't and we waited until we got married. We were exhausted. We were flying out the next day and decided to wait until we arrived at our honeymoon. I was good with it and he understood.

We didn't...we eloped and got married the third day into our trip. We were both too sunburned to do anything that night.

I don't think so because we had a red-eye flight from Seattle to Orlando that night.

You bet we did! We had a 1:00 wedding and a small reception. We didn't party all night with people.

We did, but only because we thought we should, lol. This! It was more out of a sense of obligation because it was our wedding night than feeling frisky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We didn't because we were flying from Central NY where we were married to Seattle where we honeymooned and got in at 2am. But the next morning the sparks flew! We also lived together for a year before we were married.

I remember you telling us you would be on your period and someone recommended something similar to the diva cup. I was always curious how that worked out.

I answered NO only because we didn't that night - but did very early the next morning when we finally shut down the reception and made it to our room. Technically not the wedding night - but the next morning.

We left our wedding reception with the party still in full swing so we could get to our hotel room and get it on. I understand there were more than a few jokes made at our expense after we left.

TiffanyAnnHulsey ..... you look wayyyy too young to have been married four times already! This made my day! I'm older than I look! Let's just say I got started early and don't beat a dead horse...I have to move at a fast pace to catch up with Elizabeth Taylor.

And even though we had done it a hundred times before there was something really awesome about that night. That's funny cuz I kind of felt the opposite. I remember looking around at my reception seeing several generations of all the people I loved most in the world and thinking I might never have a gathering like this again in my lifetime. I wanted the night to go on forever.

Nope, not us. My DH came down with the worst case of strep throat and had a 102* fever on our wedding day. I'm not sure he even got all the way undressed before he passed out in the hotel room. I spent the night oh so glamorously trying to figure out how to unbutton all those tiny little buttons by myself, and then remove all 9057 bobby pins from my hair. We've been married 16 years anyway, so I don't think it mattered all that much!

Not me. After a huge reception that lasted until the wee hours of the morning, plus catching a flight at 5am, no way. But on the honeymoon, you bet!

Nope. Dh went home and played video games with his buddies. I got on a plane, crossed the date line so it was still the day we got married when I landed, and went out that night and played pool with an old Army buddy. We eloped overseas, lol. He joined me a week later, but we were at my parents house (eeek!) for a few days before going on a honeymoon..,where dh promptly got a stomach bug. Very unromantic.
It was like 3 weeks later by the time we did!

I kept finding them in my hair the following day ...and I washed my hair but they just hid there!

We didn't. Aunt Flo was visiting for one, but we were also utterly exhausted.

I remember looking around at my reception seeing several generations of all the people I loved most in the world and thinking I might never have a gathering like this again in my lifetime. I wanted the night to go on forever. We had lots of family events over the course of the week before the wedding. By the end of that week I just wanted to be alone with my husband. ETA : My husband and I both lost all of our grandparents long before the wedding. Most of my family is local to us and we see his family as often as we can. The majority of his extended family loves overseas and didn't even come to the wedding, so I was in a room full of people I see pretty regularly. Maybe I would have felt differently if I had a bigger family with lots and lots of generations, but we are a small family with just my parents, my one sibling and two first cousins. My aunt also passed away years before I was married. Thinking about it now, it was a bittersweet day because there were so many people who couldn't be there because they were gone long before I even reached high school.

I'm pretty sure we didn't, but I don't really remember. We didn't go on a honeymoon, so we just went home. I was 8 months pregnant and we had lived together for about a year and half.

Honestly, I don't remember. We had been together 13 years and had a 10 month old child at the time. I'm pretty sure we didn't!

Married twice, and didn't either time. First time, it was "that time" and we had a huge fight about it and I ended up sleeping in a chair on our wedding night. (No surprise that marriage didn't last, eh?) I was just a kid at 19, and really had no business getting married in the first place. Second time, we were already living together, and exhausted and leaving early the next morning for our quick weekend honeymoon before being back at work the next week. We did do it on the honeymoon, but not the wedding night. We were married for nearly 20 years, the last 6 years of it completely sexless. As a wedding photographer, I saw lots of couples who had been living together for a while before marrying. The would frequently have huge receptions that would run until midnight or 1AM, then the couple and all their friends would go out to after parties or bars while all the older relatives called it a night. Sometimes, the bride and groom would even go their separate ways with different groups of friends (which I always found very strange.) But I would imagine that wedding night sex was not high on their list of priorities.

What? I had no idea it was optional. It was 47 years ago and in those days if you wanted to live together, you got married. I would bet the percentage would be smaller during that era. And yes, we are still married.
