Things Going Right and Wrong on Your Wedding Night
Ah the wedding night! There is no greater indicator of the future bliss of a marriage than how things go on the wedding night and don’t even think there will be any personal accounts in this article.
I am here to offer some tips on how to read the future of your marriage in the activities that happen on your wedding night. There are some good things that will happen and then there are some bad things that will happen and you should be aware of as much as possible so you can know if you will be spending a lot of time sleeping on the couch for the next 40 years or not.
Some Good Things
If you get to the hotel room on your wedding night and she puts the Do Not Disturb sign on the door with no intention of taking it off the door for the weekend then that is a good thing.
If it takes the two of you nearly two days to realize that there is a television in the room and that the curtains covering the windows actually open; then that is a really good sign.
If room service has you on a schedule because you haven’t left your room since your wedding night and they want to be sure you are at least eating something then that is a really good sign.
If at check out the person at the check out desk has no idea you were in the hotel for the last week because you never left your room then that is probably a really good sign that your marriage is at least off to a good start.
Some Bad Things
If you run up a $100 bill just renting Disney movies from the hotel television service on your wedding night then that is a really bad sign.
If she tells you that the “festivities” will have to wait until her shows are over then that is probably a bad sign.
If your wedding night is ruined because you can’t get the fact that your team lost the game that day then you are probably in for a long marriage.
If she calls her mother every half hour just because she is bored and wants something to do on your wedding night then you are probably really in for a very long marriage.
