People often have a romanticized notion of what the wedding night is
like. Newsflash: It isn't all rose petals, orgasms and fancy champagne.
Recently, we
asked our readers to send us a photo that
more accurately represents what the night after the wedding was like
for them. Some couples chose In-N-Out over pricey room service. Others
opted for a peaceful night in their own bed instead of a night at a
swanky hotel. And guess what? They still said it was perfect.

"On the way back to our hotel, we were starving
since we didn't have ANYTHING at our wedding except some cake.
Californian tradition, and it was perfect."

"My husband took this picture at 3 in the morning
when we finally left the after-party at our hotel. This pretty much
sums up the last 24 hours."

"After partying with friends and family until
about 3:30 a.m., we finally made it back up to our room and found this
on our mirror from the best man and maid of honor!"

"We were still so wound up from the evening, but I
did not have enough energy to even get out of my wedding dress or take
my hair stuff out. We sat and read all the well wishes and sipped on hot
cocoa in our new 'Mr. and Mrs.' mugs."

"After a monsoon washed out roads and a bridge,
two-thirds of our friends were not able to make it because it was so
flooded. These were the first things out of our pockets: his wallet,
phone, pocket knife and my veil with ALL bobby pins and bouquet. And
hello mother-in-law on hubby's phone. It's the epitome of our married
life."

"We didn't have a fancy wedding, it was in my
parents' backyard so we had no bridal suite. After the wedding we slept
for the first time in our freshly rented apartment, so there was a lot
to do. This collage is a picture of us dancing and later him arranging
the living room, me sleeping and our first not-so-fancy breakfast as a
married couple. It's not the normal wedding night but we loved it!"

"Me rapping LL Cool J's 'Mama Said Knock You Out' after the reception was over. I rapped and her parents still like me."

"After our wedding reception was over, my feet were killing me! My hubby carried me upstairs to our suite!"

"We decided to cancel our hotel room next to the
hall so we could go home and sleep in our own bed. My husband had a few
drinks so I drove home in my giant wedding dress!"

"After the wedding when we came back to our house. He carried me across the threshold."

"My husband took a bubble bath in our hotel room solo! I didn't want to mess up my hair for brunch the next day."

"We never dress up and I think we were pretty
smitten with not only each other, but ourselves! After we finally put
our phones down, we got into jammies and watched 'Seinfeld' in Spanish
and fell asleep by midnight. It was perfect."

"My husband and I spent the rest of the day and
night celebrating our daughter's first birthday after we surprised
everyone and got married at the backyard party!"

"Right when we got back to our room. Partied out!"
