I really, really, hope we aren’t too tired to do anything since we’re waiting for marriage and frankly, I’m getting a bit impatient. That being said, we probably will just crash due to utter exhaustion. His family just doesn’t party half-way.

After the reception ended at midnight, I went to an after party with all my high-school friends that were in town for the event, and hubby begged off and crashed at the hotel. Romantic, no? I really have no idea when we actually consummated anything, for that matter.

I slept, which wasn’t my intention or my preference. My idiot husband stayed up chatting … and chatting … and chatting … with my siblings. Last I saw of them, they were in the doorway, on the way out, having been bidden a loving Good Night! by me.

Apparently, it just wasn’t that important for him to come to bed, where I was waiting.

Yes, it WAS an omen. One I was too stupid to recognize.

Our ceremony was at 1PM. Our reception started at 5 after photos and all that folderol, and we finished up at 4.15AM after quite a party. Needless to say, no consummation till two days later when we arrived at our honeymoon destination in France.

We consummated our marriage that night. Mind you, after the ridiculous quantity of booze we ingested that night, the details are rather hazy in my mind.

There’s nothing quite like lying on a cold tile floor in one’s wedding-night lingerie, in a valiant effort to keep down one’s (very expensive) wedding supper from Babbo.

Like Twistie, we had an afternoon to early evening wedding & reception. After we left the reception, we stopped at the Borders where we met (a coffee date) and took a few pictures. Yes, in full wedding regalia, people thought it was very funny. Then we went home, my sweet new husband carried me over the threshold, and we consummated our marriage. Then we went to sleep for a couple of hours, as the limo was picking us up for our honeymoon flight at 3am. We were in St Lucia by noon the next day, which felt very odd, but we were short on sleep. So we checked into our room and proceeded to consummate some more, in case we missed something the night before. It was nice to have the evening of our wedding to ourselves, and I was able to show my husband my very nice (and very expensive) wedding lingerie.

class factotum, that may be the most romantic phrase I’ve ever heard.

I expect to be spending that night at my FMIL’s-so no.

We had houseguests the week before the wedding (my husband’s parents, who slept in our room). My mom arrived the day before the wedding and my husband and I moved to the basement and gave her the guest room, where we had been sleeping while his parents slept in our room. Two stepdaughters, three siblings, and my mom’s beau all stayed at a hotel. Everyone ate at our house, except for the wedding supper.

I was wiped out. We slept, but not before my husband turned to me in bed and said about his very difficult to deal with parents, “They will NEVER live with us. Never.”

That was almost as good as you know what.
