Today FH and I got talking about how we can make our wedding nights special. We are planning to stay in a hotel although it's a unnescisary cost since we live a 5 minute drive from where our reception is. But I was looking for something a little more special.
I've seen a few brides post about how they are waiting for marriage. They've either cut off sex already or plan to for a set amount of time before the big day.
I mentioned it to FH and he didn't seem to hate the idea. When I asked him how long he could wait, he replied with 1 month. We pinky swore on it and now as of April 14th, 2011 we will give up sex until our wedding night.
But now that we've planned to do that I want it to be even more special.
I'm thinking I will buy a new lingerie set for the night. One that is white and lacy and makes me feel like a bride.
I'm also thinking to get FH excited for our wedding night, the morning of the wedding I'll give him a book of boudoir photos of me. I'll be doing them DIY to save on cash. Hopefully I can talk someone into being a photographer for me or it will just be me and the camera.
So my question to you girls: What are you doing to make your wedding night special? Are you waiting? Doing boudoir photos? All of the above?
I don't think you have to make it special if it isn't important to you. In the end, its your day you can do whatever the heck you want.
sjsbride and hannikay: That's AWESOME. The closer I'm getting the my big day the more I wish I'd saved myself. But when I was younger it matter to me.
We are only about 5 min away from our Reception Hall too. However we will be getting a hotel in the honeymoon suite of course and doing all that' romantic lovey dovey stuff.
And of course Lingerie is a MUST! (something he'll enjoy! Something you'll love wearing!)
I also did a Boudior shoot recently. Very FUN! And FH LOVED them.
Great ideas!
