Sex before wedding reception?

I'm planning my wedding currently and was wondering if its normal or acceptable to sneak off for a little bit after the ceremony with my brand new husband and seal the deal even before the reception. Do people do that?

    You're kidding, right?

    It would be very inconsiderate to leave your guests waiting. And sex is more fun without time constraints anyway. Also, do you really want to come sailing into your reception sweaty, with messy hair, and smelling like sex? Yuck.
  • Did you get this idea after watching Four Weddings and a Funeral or something?

    All I can think of is Four Weddings and a Funeral.

    Impetuous!:)

    Ever see that movie?  There was a uber horny couple that did exactly that --- they just couldn't help themselves.:)

    Well, I guess if you want to, sure....go ahead and get a quickie in, Up to you.:)

    And I did not even see Doeydo's reply when i said all of this.:)
  • I don't know what kind of wedding you're having but after our ceremony and before the reception we had what is called a yichud. This is in Jewish law a 10-20 minute seclusion time for the bride and groom only. During this time brides and grooms do whatever they wish. Some eat, some prey, and some consummate the marriage. It's not considered rude, inconsiderate or gross. It's your wedding, do what you want. For your guests, have a cocktail hour set up for them to go to during "your time".
  • What what what?  Don't you think you'll be a bit busy hosting your guests?  The moment we were done with our ceremony, we were hosting.  I mean, I suppose you could do it during cocktail hour… but you have the rest of your lives (not to mention, wedding night) to have sex.  
  • Do it in the limo between your ceremony and the reception.  You are having them at two different locations right? ;)

     

    fyi.....we didn't do this, but we have a limo full of people on the way to the reception.

    Jaja Emily -- what are they preying upon?:)

    Your guests will be too busy eating and having a good time during the cocktail hour. Do whatever you want with your H; squeze in a quickie or 2.:)

    You will be dead on your feet by the time the day's festivities are over. I vote yes on the quickie between the ceremony and bride and groom apperaance at the reception.:)

    This was what I was thinking in response to this question. I am Jewish but H is not, so we did not have a Jewish wedding but implemented Jewish traditions into the ceremony (Chuppah, Ketubah, blessing over the wine, breaking of the glass). During my research for the ceremony I came across yichud and obv H was all for keeping that tradition alive!

  • Aha! I think I just figured out the meaning of the Justin Timberlake song, "Dress On" !

    This should be your first dance song!

    =))
  • Yeah, we're definitely not going to be doing this.  That night, however...whole different story!  There's a reason we're having an early afternoon wedding and reception!   :p

  • There is no way that we would have been able to get away.  We had our entire wedding party ride together from the ceremony to the reception.  I wouldn't have had it any other way!  But good luck to you if you can make that work in your dress!  I was bound so tight I would not have been able to enjoy.

    Be the change you want to see in the world!
