Do married couples actually have sex on wedding night?

Ok so not exactly an AIBU question but...

myself (not married) and some unmarried friends are discussing whether couples actually have sex on their wedding night, or are they too drunk/tired/emotional to DTD?

Any insights welcome - we're curious!

Just to add we did dtd when we were in the honeymoon suite ourselves waiting to go down for the evening.

Spilose · 20/08/2015 14:11

No we didn't. Did the next morning though

Nancery · 20/08/2015 14:13

DH went to bed at 6am with the dog, I followed a few hours later.
So, no!

comfybigduvet · 20/08/2015 14:16

Ohhh yes.

One of the best of my life

We didn't. DH mislaid the key to our rented cottage and so we had to spend the night in the spare room in the cottage that my in-laws had rented.

The only bed in the room was a bunk bed. I cried my eyes out, threw my wedding ring on the floor and slept on the lower bunk.

Memories. Smile

We sure did. Got married in Vegas, just the two of us. We left the wedding chapel, and went straight back to our hotel suite to DTD before hitting the town. DH had a hard on all through the wedding ceremony. Grin

Quietlifenotonyournelly · 20/08/2015 15:22

No, felt bad after though because I was soooo drunk. Image a non drinker given a drink at every table they visited for a chat....that was me.

meoryou · 20/08/2015 15:35

Nope. Nor on honeymoon. No medical reason either. Just disinterested husband. It has broken my heart.
So lovely to read your stories even if some of them are a bit TMI Wink
That's a hope I have for myself in my future life xx

DrDreReturns · 20/08/2015 15:42

We did. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it up as I was knackered and drunk, but it wasn't a problem in the event!

LeBlonde · 20/08/2015 15:47

meoryou how sad. Sad I hope you meet someone new who will give you a wedding night to remember for all the right reasons.

DramaAlpaca · 20/08/2015 15:54

We did. We were both shattered but decided we really ought to make the effort to consummate the marriage Grin

Pericombobulations · 20/08/2015 16:09

ThursdayLastWeek same here, we hadnt seen each other for a fortnight prior to the Service. Plus niether of us are huge drinkers.

Witchend · 20/08/2015 16:11

We planned to... but actually spent the night out in the car park while the fire brigades fought the fire and the hotel staff fought the fact they hadn't got a working fire plan.

JeffhasAMicroPenis · 20/08/2015 16:33

We did. I was hammered but still managed to get on the sexy undies I'd bought then let him get on with it, I was virtually unconscious.

Hmm

Husbands having sex with women while they are virtually unconscious is something that actually happens. It gets questioned by the victims who aren't sure if it is really rape or not on the relationships boards. It's best not to joke about it.

Sandbrook · 20/08/2015 16:39

LeBlonde - I love that Grin

Meoryou - hope you do find what you are looking for

Hackersschmakers · 20/08/2015 17:05

Nope. Waaaaaay too drunk.

Having had this chat with friends none of them did either apart from one couple who had waited to get married to have sex. If we hadn't of being having sex for the ten years before we it married I might have put more importance on itGrin

HaydeeofMonteCristo · 20/08/2015 17:21

We did.

bettyberry · 20/08/2015 18:35

so, Note to self.

Get someone else to do all the running around.
fewer guests = more energy
have venue at the hotel. Sneak off for a quickie.
Don't get a dress that weighs a ton.
Make sure its easy to take off or the skirt can be flipped up over my arse.
White undies defo (first man I've dated to be ALL OVER white undies Blush )
Pack lube in with my dress/tuck into my garter
Make sure we don't get drunk.
Champagne for the suite.

not married yet but so many tips haha! Grin Grin

Oysterbabe · 20/08/2015 18:46

Calm down Jeff
I'd put on my frilly pants and led him to bed, just might have nodded off during. We're not really talking date rape here.

MySordidCakeSecret · 20/08/2015 18:58

i winced when i read that too oysterbabe

WankerDeAsalWipe · 20/08/2015 19:03

We did despite a long day and I have no idea where DH got the energy after carrying me up to the room from the reception - he wanted to carry me over the threshold Hmm :o

sugar21 · 20/08/2015 19:11

No, EXDH got really drunk and as I was lounging in my wedding lingerie he stood up and puked on top of my head
Dirty bastard Shock

SockQueen · 20/08/2015 19:11

Yes, wasn't amazing as we were knackered, but still pretty special.

DurhamDurham · 20/08/2015 19:14

Not likely......we were in Cyprus with a 5 month old baby who had to be fed just as we went to bed and again during the night. Our then 4 year old was asleep in the same room and 12 members of our family were in assorted rooms in the hotel corridor.

MissDemelzaCarne · 20/08/2015 19:17

I was very tired and very drunk but we DTD, it was lovely.
