How Soon to Start the Honeymoon?

Dear Peter & Molly,
So my wedding is in the morning, and our reception is not until that night. Even when you consider all the pictures after the wedding, and set up before the reception there is still several hours to kill in between. What should we do? I don't want to run off to our honeymoon suite, and then come back later to the reception and have everyone stare at us weird, but we would be married and so it would be awkward to arrive separately to the reception. I just want to do it right? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stumped Groom


Dear Groom, here's the bottom line, before you got married your sex life was really no one's business. The church of course knows the blessings that come from waiting, and so that encouragement happens a lot. Once you are married, however, your sex life is really really really no one's business. So do whatever you want for those hours, and if anyone looks at you weird for spending the afternoon alone with your new wife, that's definitely their problem not yours.


OK, mostly I agree, but just do the rest of us a favor, don't leave a big hickey in a place that her dress doesn't cover. I know you're married, but she'll be the center of attention, and that's tacky in any situation. The other warning I have, is if this will be your first time, make sure you have plenty of time, and that she'll have plenty of time to get her hair and dress ready again for the reception (No one wants to see the tussled hair either). Honestly if you don't have 4 full hours, I might say go hang out together, but just play video games.
