"A few of my friends who are getting married soon said they actually don&amp;amp;#8217;t want to have sex on their wedding night. As one of these gals eloquently put it: &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m pretty sure it&amp;amp;#8217;d be a sloppy mess.&amp;amp;#8221; So here are some (almost as) fun alternatives to newlywed nookie: Go to an after party. I have to admit; I was a little jealous when some of Paul&amp;amp;#8217;s groomsmen were recruiting wedding guests to go to an after party at the hotel they were staying at. I was way too tired for any post-wedding merriment, but I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure it would have been a blast. It&amp;amp;#8217;s probably best to hold the shindig at a hotel bar or in one of your other guests&amp;amp;#8217; rooms; hosting it in your hotel room means guests could still be hanging around when you&amp;amp;#8217;d like nothing more than to go to sleep next to your new husband. Look at wedding pictures. This will require friends to take photos on your digital cameras or phones--you shouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t have to take pictures at your own wedding! Paul and I totally looked through the images on my digi camera that night. It&amp;amp;#8217;s fun to relive the day right away. Go straight to bed&amp;amp;#133;and wake up for the sunrise. I was so exhausted after our wedding that the thought of setting any kind of alarm didn&amp;amp;#8217;t sit right with me. But if you&amp;amp;#8217;ll be getting to a bed earlier than we did (I think it was about 2:30 in the morning when we were finally checked in), waking up early enough to catch the sun rise may not be a stretch for you. And starting off your first full day as a married couple that way has got to be intensely romantic. Anyone out there planning to skip wedding-night sex? Or will you wait and see if you&amp;amp;#8217;re in the mood? Would you do any of the above?
