Lov'in it in Third Gear (or is it Cruise Control?-)
Granted you don't get married everyday, but then again, this village _does_ have over a Thousand members.
So, the _changed_ question is: Would you make love on the first night OF YOUR MARRIAGE? If so, ain't it rather fast?
I ask because I have always believed in taking my time. Even after my own pseudo-lovingly-arranged marriage, I found that my taking 30 days wasn't enough. (Should be 90 I hear!-) What's more, I find the emotional aspect just as important, if not more so, than the physical attraction. To me it is the distinction between lusting after someone's body and wanting to love their whole person.. which of course includes more than just their body.. (but is this the place to say these things?-) This JE is interestingly morphing as people are adding pieces of themselves to it.. my first interactive JE.. iJ: nice term.. ;*]
In response to those 'normal' people wondering 'why the talk of love', well... lets just say that "some people talk of it when they don't get it"... ;^}

and no, i do not think it is fast, because i believe in dating and in being friends first... so friends for a bit, dating for a year or so, being engaged for a year... and being in love is a must - so WHY NOT have sex asap after the ring is on?!
*ducking from all the shoes thrown in this general direction*
and superman, you waited 30 days? perhaps you were nervous/performance anxiety?
Superman & Staj Your right there are men that are different, I guess I am just having a hard time. -:-
another question is, if the couple has been sleeping around before marriage, when they finally do get married, is the "first night" all that exciting ?
