Extend the foreplay

The moment you have been looking forward to for such a long, long time! And it's perfectly normal to be nervous. But regardless, make the effort to relax because without it, you may struggle to enjoy the moment and you don’t want that.

Foreplay will help you do this. This means there's no rush, so don't rush it. Women need about 20 minutes to warm up on an average day. You may need some extra time after this to properly get into it. And that’s fine. Your new husband ~~should~~ will understand

Lubrication!

If you are a virgin, natural lubrication may be a bit of an issue. It's normal and nothing to be bothered about.

Just prepare adequately for it by either telling you significant other to get a tube of water-based lubricant ahead of the big day. You could also purchase it yourself.

Sexy lingerie

You totally should splurge on this ‘frivolity’ because it’s your first time ever, and also the consummation of your new marriage.

Wearing something that is in his favorite color will be mighty sexy, too.

It is actually true that many couples do not get to eat at their wedding reception and that could be you, too. You may be too busy for food so while these foods may boost your passion on the night, they’ll also double as much a needed source of strength and nutrition.

Dark chocolate, honey, red wine are really good.
