Whether you're looking for romance or rest on your wedding night, no other eight-hour period will ever be as steeped in anticipation -- or pressure. From staying home to renting the honeymoon suite, these iVillagers made their first night of married life one they'll never forget, and you can, too.

"When my sister and her husband got married, they felt it was too 'unromantic' to just go back home before their early honeymoon flight the next day. Instead, they booked a room in a hotel by the airport. The bride told them that they were newlyweds, and voila! They got a really great room, along with flowers and champagne, which were 'compliments' from the management. One suggestion though, if you are looking for this kind of service, stick with a well-known hotel. They seem to be the most accommodating." --who_dat

"I see nothing wrong with spending the first night at home. Even if you already live together, it will be your first night there as husband and wife. You will be saving money by not going to a hotel, plus being alone together in your own home can be very romantic on that first night. Just be sure your DH carries you over the threshold." --lucki4
