to not have any wedding night requests?

DP and I are getting married later this month. We've booked a beeeeeautiful hotel for our wedding night and got a free upgrade to the 'suite' which is beyond dreamy Smile
Anyway, the mamanger emailed me yesterday just to finalise a few things (we're having our reception in the same hotel) and asked if I had any special requests for the wedding night. I was stumped. What kind of things do people ask for, if any? Is it just a courtesy ask? I'm just happy with the upgrade, we got a discount on the original room anyway (was meant to be 190 but we paid 150) the suite is 320 a night so for me that's enough of a treat!
Only thing I might ask is they bring some of the flowers up from the reception, but other than that I just don't know.
They have an amazing wine/cocktail list in the restaurant downstairs, I was thinking of asking for a bottle of champagne to be added to the bill and left in our room for us, is that the sort of thing she means?

Peanut-butter M&Ms. Alcohol free drink to make sure there are no sore heads the following day.

Will you actually want more booze by the time you get to your room? I was ready for my bedtime milk. I don't think we got around to consummating for a couple of days and certainly weren't up for continuing the party by the time we left our reception.

I would have thought champagne or rose petals/flowers that sort of thing. Don't panic

Ask for some lube 😂

ghosty now I want to ask for something dinosaur related, perhaps a towel folded in the shape of a Pachycephalosaurus? Grin

Also, that sort of makes me want to open a hotel that specifically caters to odd requests....

Like the list that popstars and divas ask for? Orange smarties, kittens, that sort of thing?

You could have so much fun with the hotel manager. Go on, see what you can get away with!

AtMidnight we're getting married on a weekday at 10am, lunch is at 12 and everyone's going home around 4. We probably won't drink huge amounts in the day, so an evening drink for just the 2 of us might be nice.

KC I'm not panicking as such, just interested as to what people tend to request when they're asked that question Smile

You may find the hotel leaves you a bottle of something in your room anyway.

They did in ours but I was say too pissed to drink it undress myself and consummate the marriage Wine

ButtonMushroomEx · 02/06/2017 09:12

Snowballs I laughed so hard I nearly made a wee.

Sounds like Blackadders wedding 😂

Ok, some ideas.
Champagne
A bonsai tree trimmed to the shape of Alan Rickman (he's my fave)
Shower gel scented with a single freshly squeezed strawberry
A tricycle

Any more? I knew this would turn silly.....

On a serious note, I think I'll ask for champagne, flowers and one of the beaut smelly candles from the table to be brought up. That's not too much, right?

On a less serious note, if I could get away with it I'd ask for a tower of Reece's peanut butter cups, a daschund puppy called sizzles and the juice of a thousand clementines.

Should I ask them to put a penis beaker on DHs bedside table?

We had a bottle of champagne but only had a glass that night. HOWEVER it was still cold and fizzy the next morning so we had two glasses before breakfast. It was amazing!

Apairofsparklingeyes · 02/06/2017 09:36

Does it include breakfast?

You want the juicing oranges squeezed in front of you so you know it's fresh enough. Your croissants must have arrived from France within the previous hour. Eggs have to be from rare breed hens that live with a hippy commune on a high mountain in the remotest part of the outer Hebrides.

allegretto · 02/06/2017 09:36

Our hotel got the rooms mixed up and our guests ended up in the suite and we had a very small double! It was a bit annoying at the time but hey, ho. We were so tired after the day that we wouldn't have noticed any extras anyway.

Apairof yes it includes breakfast. I'll make sure the clementines are juiced in front of us, good call. Also, we're getting married by the sea, right on the south east coast so the fresh from French France croissants is achievable. Rare breed Hebridean eggs might be a stretch though.....
