We all have heard a multitude of tales from all our friends who have recently gotten married and how their first night together was. But, let them be that, just tales as not everyone experiences the same thing on their first night! So, begin this night on a clean slate and be open to possibilities and believe that your first night together will be as special as you had always imagined it to be. All brides are excited for their first wedding night, and while it’s all dreamy in your head, here are 10 things that no one will ever tell you can happen on that very night. Check some first wedding night tips and take notes to prep up for the most magical night of your life, shall we!

First Wedding Night is nothing like it’s shown in movies

We often tend to build our imagination according to what we’ve seen in movies. But as it turns out, our real life is different from the reel life. Things aren’t as simple as it’s shown in movies. There could be a chance you don’t end up getting the ‘perfect’ first wedding night you might have imagined in your head. Or it could be even better than what you’ve imagined. You never know...so, make sure you prepare yourself accordingly.

First wedding night can also be about starving

There’s a 99% chance that you and your partner will be starving. Often the first wedding night in India happens a day later than the wedding. But while your wedding day (and night) are over, there are tons of post-marriage ceremonies you both will be busy in, so yeah, you’d be skipping meals and there will probably be less time for you to grab something before you go to sleep. Ask your bridesmaids to ensure that there’s something for you both to eat on your big night. After all, nothing good happens if you’re hungry, right? *wink*

It’s okay to embarrass yourself on the first wedding night

We tend to put ourselves and even our partner, on a pedestal when it comes to performing in bed on the first wedding night. You need to understand that things aren’t always perfect and that it’s okay to embarrass yourself a little. The more you worry about ‘what will happen’, the less likely you’re going to have a good time. So release yourself from the pressure and let things be.

Indian weddings are hectic and tiresome. You’ll both probably be sleep deprived and exhausted from all the celebrations going on during the whole wedding. It’s important to cut yourself some slack and just relax. Also, India families are super enthusiastic -so they can barge in to make you feel welcomed. Rest, if your husband's furry family member loves him then expect him to be inside the room anytime. Take the moment as it comes, without thinking too much. Don’t have high expectations because you’ll end up disappointed.

On your first wedding night, you’ll be in a new room, a brand new setting and well, new in-laws too, who are probably sleeping next door.

We forget the tiny things that have major repercussions during our own wedding celebration. It’s necessary to talk to your partner if you both want to use protection on your wedding night. If you both agree on one thing, make sure it actually happens when you’re together. Protection is a choice that you and your partner will make.

You can say, “No” on your first wedding night

Another important thing to note is that anything that happens in bed even after you’re married and have a husband, should be consensual. You have an option to say yes and you also have the option to say no - it’s your decision and you need to be vocal about it to your partner. Make sure you’re heard.

Only Talking is "okay" on your first wedding night

Your first wedding night is probably the most vulnerable as well as intimate time for you and your partner. Often a couple who don’t know each other too well, bond on this special night and make connections. So yeah, be prepared because you might not sleep but talk all night long.

You might doze off because sleep is real

We told you no one is going to tell you these things, so you can thank us and remember these points carefully.
