According to the Orange County register, a great night of sex to consummate the wedding vows is more and more becoming a thing of the past. More couples are finding that after all the crazy last minute wedding planning and the big event itself they are just too tired to stay awake for a late night of romance. Other couples do stay up comparing notes and stories and reconnecting after the big day. Some experts say this is a shift in thinking-that the wedding day is seen more as a time for partying with friends and family and less for intimacy between the couple. Others say that a lack of action on the wedding night can be an indicator that the couple doesn't place enough value on intimacy. What do you say? Is wedding night nookie a must?

My husband and I both crashed after our wedding. We were asleep by 8pm without any, um, festivities, which was fine with both of us after a very long weekend.
Then again, we ended up divorcing, so read into that what you will.

I disagree that because you don't have sex on your wedding night, this means you don't want intimacy. That's just silly. Intimacy is not just another word for sex: Sex is *part* of intimacy, of course, but intimacy encompasses a whole lot more than just the physical.
It could be that laying there together and talk, talk, talking about the day, about your feelings, about your future -- could be, on this one-of-a-kind night "comparing notes and stories and reconnecting" -- has a whole lot more to do with true intimacy than a quick romp. Or even a prolonged one. Honest to pete.
