First night! Ooh, the words bring up excitement, giggles, raised eyebrows and images of lots of shy, fun sex. But unfortunately, most often than not, sex doesn't happen at all! So then, what exactly does happen during the much hyped first night?

7. Bitching

Don't be shocked. Many couples spend the night discussing just how horrible the relatives were and how they never even got to taste the wedding food...

8. Undressing

If you're ever seen a bride get dressed for her big-day up close, you'll realise the sort of mess her hair and face will be in. Some unfortunate couples spend the entire night in just removing hairpins and cleaning the bride's hair of hairspray. And that's as far as it goes.
