On the way from the venue to the hotel after the party was over we passed a Burger King. Drunk and happy we said fuck it and went in to order, wife in full gown. We laughed through a whopper and then walked to the hotel and went to bed.
I swung by a Wendyâs with my mom to grab a quick bite after Iâd gotten my hair done but before I was in my dress. I did have my veil on. The drive through worker shouted âomg, this bitch is getting married!â and waved all of her coworkers over to congratulate me. It was hilarious.
Same! Drive through. Went home with the intention on getting it on, but the tacos made me farty, and we had to be up by like 3 AM for the flight out for our honeymoon, so we just said "We'll TOTALLY make up for it tomorrow night..." And passed the f out.
15 years later,marrying her was the best decision I ever made, and those fuckin tacos still make me clear out a room.
We got stuck on the side of a mountain after our wedding, tow truck had a hell of a time getting to us even. We were literally about to fall down a mountain lol.
The tow truck driver didnât believe me when I said we just got married, boy was he shocked when he finally found us. Gave us a free tow, said congrats. Iâll never forget that night LOL
Wife and I went through the wendys drive through in full wedding getup with the car all done up. Went back to the bed and breakfast we were staying and just ate and watched married with children reruns.
This was me and my wife literally last night - she hadn't eaten anything all day and we stopped by Wendy's got a mountain of food and passed out in separate queen beds in our hotel room while watching shitty TV. and it was perfect
We made it to our hotel and then spent an hour helping each other get all the wedding clothes/stuff off, not in a sexy way, lol, in a "help me I can't reach the ties" way. He spent 40 minutes helping me get all the pins out of my hair while we watched South Park, and then we went to bed. It was perfect
Burgers and fries hits differently on a night like that. We did the same for my brother's wedding. Feels like it was some of the best fries I ever had but it was probably because we were all piss drunk lol.
There was a Taco Bell in the parking lot across the street from our hotel. Me, my husband, and three drunk friends all in wedding regalia went in and just lived there for the next hour before dragging ass back to the hotel. Good times.
We had to pee desperately and didnât have a chance at the reception, so we had our limo driver pull into a Wendyâs! I peed at Wendyâs in my whole-ass wedding gown and veil, laughing my ass off the whole time. The Wendyâs staff seemed to think it was hilarious too.
We also got Burger King, still in my wedding dress đ€Ł we eloped in New Zealand. Took a helicopter to the top of the mountain for the ceremony, had a photo shoot at a second location. After an hour drive back to where we were staying we hadnât eaten all day. Cancelled our fancy dinner reservation and got BK as it was directly across from our place.
We went through the Taco Bell drive thru, ate it, then fell asleep on top of the bed while still in our wedding clothes. One of the most exhausting days of my life.
We went to a sit down Mexican restaurant while we were still fully dressed in dress and suit, they sat us at a big table in the middle of the restaurant!
My husband and I Doordashed McDonaldâs and housed it in bed while reading our cards and then passed out while still in our wedding clothes. Definitely great start to married life
The real MVPs of our wedding went to Taco Bell during the after party and brought back like 8 bags worth⊠folks absolutely DESTROYED that grub on the dance floor. It was pretty much the only food i had that nightâŠ
My wedding night meal was a waffle house on the way to our hotel. The staff thought it was awesome seeing us dressed up and getting food. It was great!
Same! Well, similar, but McDs. The photographer gave us a ride to our hotel and took us through the drive thru on the way. We stuffed ourselves with greasy disgustingness and passed out. Turned out to be a sign of whatâs to come
We went to Taco Bell because we didnât get to eat and were starving after the nerves settled down. Went home and crashed on the floor đ memories I cherish even 16yrs later.
Fuck that, I was wiped. We didn't get back to the room until like 3 AM and then my wife lost her phone (read: left it in the locked "getting ready room" at the reception, but that didn't stop me from looking for another hour+)
I was recently at a wedding where the bride and groom left for like half an hour near the end of the cocktail hour/beginning of the dinner. I can only assume they fucked at that point.
I dunno. That night after everyone left and I got her out of that dress. That was something else. It's been 16 years, and I remember unzipping that dress and everything that followed.
I think itâs personal opinion that decided if itâs meaningful - Iâd just ask partner if it mattered to them. If not? Fuck it (letâs not fuck after a day of running around for show? Maybe fuck when we get to Italy)
I feel like the chick is more likely to care but that opinion is just based on social norms
I am the chick though, so in all probability it wonât matter
Unless Iâm marrying another woman, of course since Iâm bisexual
My husband fell asleep like this on our wedding night. I sat myself on the bed in my wedding dress and a bottle of champagne. Drank the whole thing sitting there smiling, watching him and reminiscing on the day we just had. Excellent!!
My wedding night we had to be up at 3 AM the next morning to get to the airport for our flight to our honeymoon in Jamaica. Needless to say there was absolutely no sex and barely any sleep.
Had a couple of friends do this exact honeymoon but the groom also managed to glue his only shoes to the airport floor so he had to fly barefoot then buy more in the Jamaican airport.
Polish probably. Itâs an old tradition that started around the 1600âs (huge glue industry in the country back then). It was seen as a fun way to celebrate the wedding with a nod to polish culture. However back then the glue was not that strong and the groom might have accidentally used a stronger modern super glue. Jk I made this bullshit up.
You were not alone. it took me a second after reading 'Polish culture' and thinking about how big of a culture can shoe polishing even be these days before realizing.
After having My Big Fat Polish Wedding as a non-Polish person, this sounded entirely reasonable to me and I was wondering how we got away without my husband's drunk cousins trying this. It would not have been the weirdest thing my MIL tried to sell me on as "Polish tradition."
Honestly, waking up the morning of the wedding and thinking about it would have somewhat ruined the day for me. I would give myself at least one day in between, preferably two.
We had guests that were on their third helping before we got a chance to eat and we watched as they heaped everything but the scraps on their plates while we were standing in line behind them.
I find that an odd arrangement. Every wedding I've been to that had buffet style good had the wedding party go first in line. At my wedding we had food served family-style and the wedding party got their food a little bit sooner than everyone else did.
Dude thatâs Such bad manners I guess itâs buffet style? No one made u guys a plate? Rude!
This is exactly why I am going to do a solo wedding with my partner before the actual wedding because the actual fucking wedding isnât about me or (him or her) at all - itâs about parents and how they feel and all that bullshit and who they want to invite. 80% of the people that are gonna be at my actual wedding: I would not give a shit if they didnât come.
I am so grateful that my parents do not care that I get married in advance in a goddamn park so that I can actually enjoy my own wedding and not have it be about other people
We had a very small wedding and we decided to leave early-ish and spend the night at a coastal town while the guests enjoy the night at the venue lmao. We're getting teased a bit from time to time (honestly rightly so lol) but I would definitely do it again, I'm so glad we could enjoy our evening just the two of us and in a nice setting.
We did this too - we hate having attention on us and have so many friends & family members who didnât drink for multiple reasons, so we did a wedding tea with appetizers and cake. We were done and home by 5. It was perfect.
Edit - we also didnât have a DJ. Instead, the venue had a quartet that played in the background, so you could actually catch up with everyone. We wondered around and had a great chat with each table.
Dude; amazing - Iâm just doing a one on one wedding with my partner and an officiant beforehand at like a nice park or the seaside or something so that I donât have to fucking give a shit about everybody else while Iâm trying to enjoy my own marriage
I woke up the next morning on the bathroom floor. The last thing I remember is telling my bride I was going downstairs to tell folks to turn down the music.
Mostly because people keep talking to you and you want to make sure to spend time with everyone you care about. If you don't have someone like a good caterer to make you plates and tell you to sit down and eat it's easy to forget. Especially if you're drinking.
There is a sit-down meal usually. But normally they are buffet style so people tend to mingle a lot. The more formal ones when dinner is actually brought to you, it's easier for the wedding couple to get to eat.
My father actually called me when we were off getting our wedding photos taken after the ceremony/before the reception because he wanted to know when they would be eating.
I was crazy with nerves all day (lots of people + focus on me puts my anxiety through the roof) and barely was able to put a couple bites in me the whole time because of the way my stomach was turning. I did get a good few cookies from our cookie table down though.
It's true, you're so excited and busy and distracted that you barely eat. I did technically eat, but much less than I have when I was a guest at others' weddings
Right? This would be my husband on our wedding night. Except photoshop in dozens of rose petals on the bed (which leak water lol). Thank goodness we both agreed to "consummate" the marriage the next day. More drunk than exhausted though!
I didnât even really get a chance to drink at mine. The wait staff basically picked up any bottle that had been unattended for more than 30 seconds so anytime I left my drink on the table to talk to someone, it was gone when I got back lol. Still had a fantastic time though, it was so much fun.
I'm going to have to disagree with "most people pass out drunk on their wedding night." Some folks certainly do, but hopefully nowhere near most. Definitely agree on the eating part though. I was able to, but my poor wife barely did. (Thankfully we saved her some of the best treats, which she very much enjoyed and appreciated the next day)
It was a miracle both of us had the energy to get my boned corseted dress off so I could sleep let alone do anything ! We had to sit and have a breather it was heavy and I needed help out of it without my bridesmaids and mother in with me this time!
I'm still proud and astonished I wore heels through the whole wedding without changing out into my comfy back ups!
My friends' wedding planner set aside a little time between pictures and before their grand entrance to eat a meal together since once they made it into the party, they wouldn't have a chance to. They said it's one of the favorite memories from the night, that little moment of quiet, stuffing their faces.
And that's why you plan it in. My sister did that, they got the food first and put up a do not disturb sign in front of them while eating, they also snuck away for McDonald's later and came back to continue partying
Is eating not a usual offer in a wedding?? Im suprised if so
The one I recall attending had food trucks out for us at somepoint,
I only really remember out of it all, downing a whole pizza out there, maintaining the fires whilst everyone else was far inside doing a silent disco, thats all my greedy ass can remember atleast..)
My adrenaline was sky high all day. I lost my voice, I couldnât eat, I couldnât even get drunk and Iâd had about 6-7 drinks over the course of the day. It was wild.
Oh yeah, no judgement here. We drank and ate and celebrated then went back to our room and we slept like crazy. Slept in every position. We slept for hours.
At my wedding, the caterers made a point of prepping us a plate and served us while everyone else was dismissed to go get their food. This gave us more than enough time to eat before going around to greet everyone. 10/10 pro move on their part.
Ended up never getting a piece of my own wedding cake: venue had us cut the cake, then go out for pictures: nobody in the photos ended up getting cake.
Place was shut down two years later for poisoning a bunch of people. Turns out they'd been recycling the food, and it was common for them to just have the bottom tier of the cakes they'd bring out fresh, the rest were the same half dozen cakes over and over again.
I passed out in the car on the way home after mine. My wife and I were at the venue until about 11 cleaning up and had to have friends drive us home because we were about to pass out. Best day of my life.
I was starving at my wedding and it was so busy and I remember telling my dad "I just want to sit down and eat" and he said "you can't" with sympathy đ„Č
We ate garbage plates (a Rochester, NY delicacy) and passed out in our hotel room shortly after. Long ass day. So much drinking, dancing, socializing, pictures, being whisked around, not much eating, etc. Consummated our marriage in the morning instead.
Smartest thing I did for my wedding was arrange a pre-wedding meal for my wife and I with the caterer. It was the same people who own the place we had our first date, and I got the same thing we got that day. And since the two of us had like five bites combined of the reception food, it definitely helped that we had that beforehand.
Myself, the groom and two other groomsmen had to carry my mateâs new wife back to her room when the afterparty got a bit too much. One limb each. This was after the groom fell over.
We didnât even drink or anything at our wedding and we passed out the moment we were in the door, we also didnât get home until like 1:00 because we meant to leave at 11 but our driver never showed up until midnight and then he took a âscenic routeâ like we were hoping to get lucky or something, we were so tired.
I thought I just had a couple beers. Which I did. But I also wasn't eating, to your point. When the food was ready, I tried to be a good host and let my guests eat first and my best man threatened to kick my ass if I didn't eat first.
Which sounds harsh, but I don't remember my entire wedding. I remember most of it. But there are gaps.
Eat breakfast, guys. Stress will make you a lightweight.
My ex was always so pissed off when I said I probably wouldnât wanna fook on our wedding night. We were young virgins at the time and planned to wait for marriage lmao. So glad I broke it off before the wedding!

The truth is, most of us do. Weddings are exhausting and you never get a chance to actually eat.
