Idea for the wedding night

Tara, on September 10, 2022 at 7:08 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 9

My boyfriend suggests that the first wedding night should be bright and memorable. He wants to try something new that we haven't done before. I don't know how to react or what to tell him. I thought it would just be romantic. What would you do in that situation?

    I think it really depends on what he wants to try and if you are comfortable with whatever it is. If it were me and I wasn't comfortable with the situation then I would say no then explain why it makes me uncomfortable.

    Maybe you could suggest a nice romantic evening for the wedding night, then plan some new, adventurous activities for the honeymoon.

    Do you all live near any water? I’d think a nice dinner on a small boat would be nice. We have a restaurant called Landry’s and guest have the option of going out on the water for dinner. It’s very nice and reasonably priced. However, it’s totally up to you both and your interest.

    Did he have something specific in mind with which you don’t feel comfortable, or is he hoping you’ll come up with an idea? Perhaps his idea of what is bright and memorable could also be romantic? Something to keep in mind … you could very well be exhausted at the end of your wedding day, if you were too excited the previous night to sleep, or you get up early on your wedding day to get ready, not to mention the fact that the wedding day will be so busy particularly if you have a big/long reception. If your ceremony and reception are earlier in the day, then perhaps you will have time to do something at night before a romantic evening - my first husband and I went out for a late night dinner at a fun place with a select few of our friends who came from far away before settling into our honeymoon suite (there really is hardly any time to spend any significant amount of time with any one person, let alone eat much, during the reception) - but a nighttime reception doesn’t leave much time for something afterwards. The whole day will be memorable regardless, and something neither of you have done before (I’m assuming you haven’t been previously married here). Best wishes figuring this out! I hope you’re both able to celebrate in a way that will be special and meaningful to you both!

    No matter what night it is please don't ever feel like you have to do something you aren't totally comfortable with. Definitely tell him if its not something you want to do and don't agree to it unless you are 100% comfortable with that choice. Your wedding night is special and memorable because its your wedding night even if all you do is pass out next each other. I have a feeling there won't be much done on my wedding night but having a late night snack, chatting about the sweet day, and sleeping. Its such a long and emotionally charged day I plan on having some pizza and wedding cake after the reception and they'll be plenty of time the next morning to have some fun.

    I think pre-marital counseling would be good so that you could have shared expectations about what you both will do. The other option is if he will listen to you and recognize what you interested in and happily willing to do. Beyond that, people have noted that the wedding night usually just recovering from the activity of the day -- or just taking the remaining night in a relaxed fashion.

    You should be able to tell him what things you would like and what things you would not want to do. Do only what comes naturally to you for the wedding night and beyond. Focus on what is a basic obligation of you and your FH and his obligation to you.

    I agree with the comments above that you will have enough time after the wedding to experiment. After the ceremony you will be tired and most likely just go to sleep. This is often the case, so you need to understand that so not to get too upset. The honeymoon is a good time to try new things. My fiancé and I have already made a schedule for intimacy for the first week after the wedding. We even bought some things to experiment with. It's some toys, handcuffs, a red ball gag , nice lingerie for me. We also have an intimate board game. And on our wedding night we decided to sleep it off after the party.
