在你的想像中,新婚之夜是什麼樣子呢?脫掉婚紗和西裝之後,兩個人在灑滿玫瑰花瓣的大浴缸泡個舒服的熱水澡。一邊喝著香檳一邊靠在愛人的懷中,在他耳邊說新婚快樂,洗完澡後再到床上做任何你想做的事。
最近有一群網友在美國社群網站Reddit上討論新婚之夜,結果推翻所有人的想像。幾乎每個人都以為性愛是當天晚上的重頭戲,事實上卻只有少數幾對夫妻會這麼做。什麼?那大家到底都做些什麼呢?
1.以婚宴的剩下的食物果腹
“The day was exhausting from all the… everything. I anticipated this, so our flight out for our honeymoon wasn’t until the next day. We left the reception and drove an hour to a nice hotel near the airport. We spent the evening eating leftovers from our reception and talking/laughing about the big day. Then we slept, and it was wonderful.”
結婚當天一大早就要起床梳妝打扮、忙進忙出,接著還要迎接每個來參加婚禮的賓客。身為主角,其實幾乎完全沒空吃飯,只好在客人帶著填得飽飽的肚子回家之後才能吃點殘羹剩飯。
2.累到睡著
“We were both mentally and physically exhausted by the time we made it to the suite so we went straight to bed. To sleep.”
站了一整天又要以笑臉迎接每個前來道賀的親朋好友,再加上婚禮過程有數不盡的小細節需要注意。好不容易可以坐下或躺下時,一陣疲倦感衝著你來。
3.擁抱
“For the first time in my life I said, “Can we just cuddle tonight?”. I was too drunk.”
又或者你們已經醉得一點力氣也沒有,於是用擁抱代替一切的甜言蜜語。
4.一起洗個熱水澡
5.一起窩在床上看電影
“We were pretty wiped but we stayed up and watched ‘Dumb and Dumber’ in the hotel room.”
想要來點靜態活動,看電影是個不錯的選擇。讓人捧腹大笑的喜劇片可以解除你們一天下來的辛勞。
6.點算禮金
“Counted the money our guests gave us…then had spectacular, guilt-free sex!”
有人選擇馬上點算賓客送給新人的禮金數目,然後來一場無罪疚感的性愛。
7.和朋友見面
“Sex, then drinking with friends.”
有人覺得還喝不夠,把幾個知心好友約出來繼續喝酒談心,聊聊婚禮間發生的趣事,或許還會一不小心聊到天亮,但前題是要先來一場性愛。
F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
8.享受酒店提供的客房服務
“It was awesome! We ordered room service so we didn’t have to leave the room and the hotel gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne. We went to sleep that night wrapped around each other, completely exhausted from the days events. The next morning, we woke up on polar opposite sides of the California king bed with our backs to each other. This is when we learned that we are not snugglers.”
如果是在酒店舉辦的婚禮,通常會附贈一晚的免費住宿。當婚禮結束回到房間之後,安排個客房服務,點瓶香檳好好犒賞另一半和你自己。
