Wedding Night Nerves....

Your plan sounds like a good one. Even though I've been with my FH for years the wedding night means a lot to me. I won't be nervous but I will want to make it as special as I can and I want to be the most beautiful he's ever seen me so my glam team better not mess me up that day. LOL!

Guys definitely think it's sexy to help you out of your dress/clothing. Whenever I've been really dressed up in something he likes, he'll comment that he can't wait to get me home and help take it off. Just try to relax and have fun. :-) If you go in expecting everything to be a perfect set-up moment, you might be putting too much pressure on yourself.

It will be very sexy with him helping you out of it... not only for him but for you too.... Think of the light touch of his hands undoing the back and slipping it down your skin, damn that just screams anticipation. and if you're a klutz like me and end up falling all over the place then you will share some laughs and have a great memory.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself. I think it's extremly admirable that you waited until marriage. Just relax and have fun!

I'm changing out of my actual wedding gown and getting into a simpler dress before our sparkler exit so that way my Mom can take my dress back to her house and I don't need to worry with it again.

It's entirely up to you but everything will be awesome no matter what you choose to do!

Have him help you loosen up the corset back, then walk to the bathroom and slip it over your head. Then you can change into what you'd like and he doesn't have to help! Don't think to much into these details. Let the night flow, and let the moment live in itself. I promise if you do that, everything will work out smoothly.

You may feel awkward "finagling out of your dress", but don't think of it that way, instead think of it that he's unwrapping his gift. I'm sure he's already thinking of it that way. Play that up.

My FH's one request with my dress was that it was easy to get off of me He definitely plans on taking it off of me. I purchased super cute undergarments and then the seamstress told me I needed to have cups inserted into my dress to make it lay more smoothly so I'm not sure what I will do. Perhaps change before we leave the venue... Or we are planning on going to have a couple drinks with friends after the reception (because we aren't having alcohol at the wedding) so maybe change into something sexy then!

Ladies, your FH is going to think you look like a zillion bucks when he sees you. Lingerie, no lingerie, eyes closed or open or letting him rip your dress off of you...it doesn't matter. Do what makes you comfortable and don't even give it a second thought. He's going to be happy. Men like women naked and what we think looks bad, they think looks good. It's a strange thing.

Just be comfortable and remember that he's going to really, really, really REALLY like how you look naked. We see flaws, he sees eye-popping exciting toys that he gets to touch.

Relax.

I think it's normal. I'm kind of glad we didn't wait until the wedding night. For me it was a bit painful/mostly uncomfortable. I'm not saying you should be afraid and it's probably not helping your nervousness, but if it's not "perfect" on your wedding night, don't worry about it. I like your idea though, I think it's cute.

We also are waiting until marriage and I began to think about how I was going to get out of my wedding gown when we retired to our hotel room for the night. I love some of the ideas here and I believe I will ask FH what his preference is in the removal of my gown. Thanks for bringing up this question!

Maybe I'm just "modern", but I'm actually surprised about how many brides I've seen on WW that are waiting until their wedding night. Is it religious reasons? Seems like a LOT of pressure to put on yourselves all in one day!

I bet he'd think it was hot to get you out of the dress

to answer your question, no, we didn't wait. we've been together forever and we crossed that bridge pretty much the day we met. I made him wait until after midnight because I'm a lady!

Brittany B -- yes, we are waiting because of our Christian beliefs, definitely not for the fun of it!
