The first night you spend together as husband and wife can be very meaningful and romantic. It can also make you feel under pressure to have great sex when you are actually completely shattered and just want to sleep!
Here's just a few top tips for enjoying your wedding night:
Take your time and set the scene
Spend some time talking about the day, share some of your favourite moments
Pack a bag - make sure you have prepared for your wedding night and the day after. I know a bride who ended up wearing her wedding dress the day after her wedding as she forgot to pack a change of clothes!
Have a snack - its likely that you will have spent your wedding day celebrating and catching up with all your guests, you may not have eaten very much!
Just remember that the only people who know what happens on your wedding night are the two of you so please don't worry about it!
Second marriages are becoming more and more common. Planning your second wedding (or third, or forth even) will be a very different experience to doing it for the first time. You are probably that bit older and wiser and want to get better value for money. You will also want the actual wedding day to be different to your first. Perhaps your first wedding signifies a marriage that failed so what better reason than to make this wedding completely different.
There are several things you need to consider though:
Do you/your partner have children? Do you want them to be included in the ceremony? Do you want a big wedding or would you prefer to keep it low-key?
You may want to place more emphasis on the actual ceremony this time around, as it might feel more important to you or you might want to get away from it all and get married abroad.
Lots of venues have a civil ceremony licence, so the days of a church wedding and hotel reception are definitely over. You can even get married in Snape Maltings Concert Hall, or for a historical feel how about Christchurch Mansion or Kentwell Hall?
