Your Wedding Night (Part 2)
Continued from Wednesday’s post…
Another thought you might not have considered: What if you are hungry? You ate at your reception and it was delicious for sure, but that was hours ago! By the time you get to your room, you may be torn between wanting to eat or pass out! So, why not order room service in advance? Or at least know that it will be an option where you are staying.
Anyhow, once you are both on the same page, you can find out how involved she intends to be in the planning for your suite. My advice is to tell her to focus on the wedding and you’ll take care of the wedding suite. If you think about it, she has spent so much time addressing every fine detail; here is your opportunity to step in and create a romantic atmosphere for you to share.
When she has agreed to hand over the reins to you, you first need to verify your hotel reservations. Imagine going to the hotel after the wedding and finding out that there was a mistake with your reservation and you no longer have the honeymoon suite. Let’s avoid this mishap by checking in with your contact at the hotel to make sure the room is your’s.
Aside from confirming your room, you should be thinking about the atmosphere you would like to have. You don’t need to be particularly décor savvy to do this, just remember the following items (or make a checklist if you like): candles (+ matches!), rose petals, music, and some champagne (+ two glasses). These are optional of course but can really be an asset for setting the mood. I recommend contacting one of the bridesmaids in advance and asking her (or all the bridesmaids may want to participate) to sneak into the room about a half hour before you arrive to decorate it with those items. Also, your wedding planner may take the honor of doing this. So feel free to discuss it with her. She’ll surely know to put rose petals on the floor or bed and to place the candles strategically. You may also be able to have the setup arranged through the hotel directly. Also, having some romantic music playing when you enter can add a nice touch.
And now comes the necessary cliché: Carry her in. Yes, you should carry your bride through the doorway to your suite. It’s romantic and if you don’t do it she’s probably going to be wondering why not. Just think of it this way: She has married her prince charming and would be thrilled for you to do it!
Once in the room, if you aren’t too tired, you can always offer to give her a massage or rub her feet (she’s been standing and dancing for hours in heels, you know!). This would be a lovely way to start things off.
Most importantly, just relax. Enjoy each other’s company. For some, this night may have them feeling…well… shall we say… nervous? For some couples, this may be their first night together (officially, you know what I mean!) If that is the case, and I have no intention of getting into details, I just say to you: Communicate. Your biggest asset in this situation is trust, which can be best reinforced with communication. Be sensitive to her feelings and do not forget to tell her how much you love her and how happy you are that she is your wife! Lastly, unless you’re planning on making a honeymoon baby, bring protection!
And so I shall conclude this wedding night post wishing you the best of luck! I hope this post has been helpful!
