Wedding Night Stories

[LuluJakey1]

DH has a cousin, 21, who is getting married in September. She called round for a coffee this afternoon. She was talking about the wedding plans and told me she has bought lovely underwear for the wedding night and how romantic it is going to be - amazingly they have not slept together!
She asked if our wedding night was romantic.

I had to laugh really. We were just knackered. We got married in a registry office at 1 pm and had a reception at an Italian restaurant owned by friends of PIL. Food was great, there was a courtyard outside and a small swing band. We drank champagne, ate, danced, drank some more, danced and by 8.00pm had had enough.

We left quietly in a taxi and went to the country house hotel PIL had treated us to two nights at. We were too knackered for sex. We ordered bacon sandwiches and fresh orange juice and lay on the bed eating them in our underwear and talking about the day. I got grease and ketchup on my pink satin underwear.

Then we watched a horror film in bed with mugs of Yorkshire tea and fell asleep. Romantic? Not.

Bacon sandwiches seem to feature more than sex!

WhatTheFork, name change! Do it!

We spent our wedding night in our own house. We'd got married very close by, told no one our plans (everyone assumed we'd be in a hotel) and then went back and drank champagne on our own sofas and slept in our own bed. I loved it. No sex until the next day though, too much to drink and too tired.

Fork do tell!

I have enjoyed reading these! There must be so much pressure on a wedding night but I imagine I would be knackered and would be dying for a cup of tea. Good job I'm never getting married

We eloped abroad and almost straight after the ceremony we got back to the room and ahem...got down to it

In mid flow our lovely African waiter knocked on our door with a fresh bowl of fruit with his compliments , they were all laughing and giggling outside when they realised what we were up to

The staff were lovely with us for the remainder of the holiday < fond memories >

We lived together and had DS by that point so we went home on our wedding night and DS went to our parents house.
Just after website back our friends in NZ called to congratulate us. DH had put some champagne in the fridge so we cracked it open and settled in for a quick chat. Half an hour later we said goodbye, hung up and the phone rang again. It was a friend in New York. Another half an hour or so and hung up. I opened another bottle of champagne.
Then my Aunt from Australia called.
I was sober when we got home from the wedding but pissed by the time we got to bed - we could not get 10 minutes to ourselves at all!
Finally did the deed in the morning before we had to get up and drag our hungover arses to pick up DS...

Just after we got back

[Notso]

We were both incredibly drunk.
DH kicked all the wedding presents off the bed and fell asleep instantly.
I wandered around the bedroom swearing at him and trying to get my bloody dress off by doing a kind of twerking movement and then set about removing the 48 million hair grips from my head.
My wedding night underwear was equally disastrous, I had a wax before which ripped all the skin off my labia so could only wear French knickers which my Mum zipped into my dress and ripped so I was commando for my wedding day.

I'm divorced now. I really should have known.

I wanted a small (like, 5 people) wedding, but he took over and we had over a hundred. I was breastfeeding 6mth old DC, so spent half reception in a spare hotel bed as I had the get everything out to do so. In the dress that Ex was disappointed 'wasn't a size 8...

His 14yo was supposed to be babysitting, his friend got her slaughtered on champagne. So I took the babies to bed in our honeymoon suite while he held her hair back while she threw up.

As babies were asleep he ran us a lovely bubble bath, and we got in and I had my one glass of champagne (because bfing) only to spot something weird in it. He'd dropped in a tablet of some sort. Still don't know what. I was horrified/shell shocked. I went to bed alone, he went back down to the party at 1am in his dressing gown, and didn't go to bed at all.

Thank Christ divorce exists.

[pinkyredrose]

Omg fighting dud you find out what he'd put in your drink?!

[pinkyredrose]

Oh sorry just reread and saw that you didn't know what it was. God that's so sinister of him.

[Madcatgirl]

We got married at the parish church and had the reception at the family farm, so wedding night in my childhood home. Didn't get in until 3am shortly after I'd passed out from drink and sheer tiredness from organising the entire event. Very romantic.

[Happy36]

I wore my wedding underwear under my dress, it matched the dress. No idea whether my husband noticed it though! Just had bra and knickers as it was wayyyyyy too hot that day for stockings. Also a nightie to sleep in.

When you order your wedding dress ask whether they can make underwear or a nightie too or customise some you buy elsewhere.

They do sell wedding underwear in department stores but it's better to just find something you like from any range. Just make sure it fits under your wedding dress.

[LuluJakey1]

The stains of the tomato ketchup and grease left marks on my wedding underwear never fully came out. It became part of my everyday grey wash. Stuff after that one wearing. Cost nearly £90.00

[mrssnodge]

Mid 80's shotgun wedding, was 23 weeks pregnant with severe tonsillitis!! Couldn't eat as throat was so sore, banging headache, couldnt drink as was pg, and did not feel like it anyway. Wedding night for us was back at my mums where we were living in, and I fell exhausted into bed. DIVORCED NOW but it did last 16 yrs - how??Nearly 30 yrs later, hoping to get married next yr for 2nd time to gorgeous DP, I know for certain whatever we do our wedding night wont ever be as bad as that!!!!!!!

[Wellwellwell3holesintheground]

DH thinks we had sex on our wedding night. We didn't.

[rainbowfeet]

Exh had booked a lovely expensive country hotel.. I had purchased a beautiful nightie (cost more than I'd spend on a full outfit normally).. Anyway arrived tired, quite drunk but entering into the spirit of things I popped into the bathroom to slip into said nightie..

My long hair had been up but by now was looking worse for wear so I decided to take it down... About a million Kirby grips & 2 donuts later I'd achieved this but only to be left with what can only be described as a ridiculous looking back combed zombie apocolipse style hair do.. Deffo couldn't go & do the deed looking like that... I call out won't be long just brushing my hair... Which only made it worse so I decided to quickly wash & rough dry it..

I imagined a sexy half dry tousled look... Probably about an hour & a half after entering the bathroom I exit ready to dazzle... Only to find him fast asleep & snoring!!!

[PoirotsMoustache]

We had awesome, energetic, slightly drunken sex on our wedding night. It wasn't our first time however.

A relative got married as a virgin (both of them were virgins actually). She was so stressed about the expectations of the wedding night that they were actually unable to do anything due to feeling tense and worried. They ended up just talking and cuddling most of the night, and over the next few days/nights they managed to 'pop their cherries' as it were, in a much more relaxed manner. Relative in question said that actually the cuddling and talking was more romantic than anything else, so tell your cousin not to expect too much and to go with the flow!

[LuluJakey1]

That is what I told her

[escorpion]

LMAO. We had our wedding at our house to reduce costs (we have two small houses on a plot of land, (not UK) one where MIL lives, and one is ours. Since all the family were invited we had some space issues, where to put people etc who were sleeping over. This was to be resolved on the wedding night where some of the guests were leaving as to be able to leave my husband and I alone in our little house. Anyho, after some of the guests had left, twenty minutes later they return, the car had broken down, the car that they had 6 people in, 6 people needing space to sleep, and my mother ended up on the airbed next to our bed. I was so pissed off and ended up screaming at everyone that I just wanted to be able to shag my husband on our wedding night ffs.

[PoirotsMoustache]

Sorry LuluJakey1, my 'tell her...' was very bossy!

[meddie]

Had a 6 week old who was still breastfeeding. both families disliked each other so had spent the night glaring across tables. Husband was too busy getting pissed with his mates to even have the 1st dance. (he wandered off after about 15 seconds to carry on with his mates). got to bed to find rels had made an apple pie bed full of rice krispies and baby wanted feeding. He vomited then pissed the bed. So I ended up sleeping on the floor. We divorced 4 years later. Only lasted that long because he worked away half our married life.

[Happy36]

escorpion you made me laugh! So did you get your way in the end?

[LuluJakey1]

Not at all

[Guiltypleasures001]

My wedding consisted of finding out my mate had gone home with my house and car keys and not being able to get home, by the time we managed to get in with 2 knackered teens I was in,tears nearly with sore feet and backache.

The boys my son and his cousin went on holiday the next day with my parents and we could hardly move the next day.
