More than half don't make love on their wedding night
IT IS supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, but for most couples it does not have the perfect ending.
The majority fail to consummate their marriage on their wedding night, a survey shows. And the most frequent reason? The groom was too drunk to make love.
The bride falling asleep and arguments during the reception were also blamed for couples not having sex on their first night as man and wife.
The poll questioned 2138 people who married in the past three years. More than half - 52 per cent - admitted to not making love on their wedding night, and 17 per cent waited for more than three days after the ceremony.
Of those who did not consummate their marriage on their wedding night, 24 per cent said it was because the groom was too drunk.
For 16 per cent it was because the bride was too tired and fell asleep and for 13 per cent it was because the bride was too drunk. In four per cent of cases it was the groom who fell asleep.
Eleven per cent said it was because they had their children to look after, and nine per cent admitted that they had had an argument before the wedding reception ended.
In another nine per cent of cases, the couples spent their wedding night travelling to their honeymoon destination, while seven per cent stayed up all night partying with guests.
"The emphasis of wedding night sex for married couples is no longer a huge factor." George Charles, marketing director of Voucher Codes Pro who commissioned the survey, said.
"It may be that the stress and pressure of organising a wedding takes the main priority, especially considering such a large proportion of couples have been living together for years."

No such problems as noted in the article above, even though we had to make all the arrangements ourselves. Both of us couldn't wait for the big night, and it was 'consummated' seven times that night. And we didn't let up much for quite a while after that.
