Smartcookie- who says you have a “beautiful, new home” to go home to? We couldn’t even FIND an apartment until 2 days before; by the time the lease was signed, gas and electricity turned on, and whatever else was bare minimum for the place to be ready to occupy, it was 2 weeks after the wedding. And even then, we had not not a stick of furniture at that point, save for 2 mattresses. We lived with my mother for those first 2 weeks. With 4 younger siblings there, husband’s parents from out of town, and no apartment, it was simply impractical to spend our first night anywhere other than a hotel. It was in a comfortable, quiet, private location, no one could bother us, and we had some good, calm alone time following the chaos of the huge wedding we’d just had. What’s wrong with that?
