Three Wedding Night Mistakes

Newlywed Groom Kisses a Bride Holding a Bouquet on Her Cheek

Ah, the wedding night — so romantic and sexy. But often our wedding nights end up being less stellar than what we had hoped for. After the pressure of staging the “perfect” wedding, many of us expect the “perfect” wedding night. Most of us have fantasies of how the night will unfold (whether you are a virgin or not). So, whether you are thinking of rose petals on the bed or a long evening of energetic sex, there’s usually a specific expectation. And everyone knows that when we have expectations that we tend to be disappointed with results. That is not the foot you wanted to get started on in your new union. Here are three top mistakes I hear from most newly wedding couples. They sound practical but they can help you have a stress free night of good sex.

Eating too little throughout the day or at the ceremony

Couples allow themselves to get hounded with a multitude of well wishes so much so that they have no time to nourish themselves. I’ve talked to several couples who had to interrupt the wedding night to stop at a fast food joint for some burgers and fries and then resent it when it rolls around time to get sexy with one another. Feeling bloated is no fun and more people than not will skip the sex or get in or out as fast as they can because they are just so uncomfortable. Make sure you schedule in time for you to be seated and actually eat. It should be apart of wedding planning schedule. Also, carrying small snacks via your maid of honor or best man can keep you grounded and fed. You can nourish yourself and your sex life by doing this.
