Emily Lynen, 29, and Amber Lynen, 35, had every intention of having sex on their wedding night. After the two exchanged vows on Oct. 21, 2021, in Pasadena, Calif., the wedding party stayed out at a bar until late. “Honestly, the story of everyone ending up in our bed is a great story,” said Emily Lynen, a program manager. Across cultures, the wedding night has risen to such mythic expectations that even the term “wedding night” has become winkingly interchangeable with “sex." It can be a night shrouded in mystery — and sometimes disappointment, either owing to anticipation, anxiety or good old-fashioned exhaustion.
