A wedding hookup is best known as a great trope of a book or story. A hella sexy one too! But don’t be too shocked that it can actually happen in real life. Like think about it. You’re in vacation mode (or at least in off-work mode), celebrating the love between the bride and groom (whom one or both are close to you) and also spending time with more loved ones. You’re practically a different person during it, and lots of exciting things can happen.
Sex included if you chat with the right person.
Consider this short article a “just-in-case” guide for when you do fancy someone during a wedding weekend. Thank us later, bestie!
1 Be sociable.
Sex can’t happen if you don’t interact with those around you.
At the same time, it’s understandable that it can be overwhelming to deal with lots of people in one space. Surely, you may want to reserve your energy. So in the meantime, having great conversation starters to break the ice can help filter the ones whom you find attractive. For example, you can ask how they know the couple and create momentum there. But also try not to zero in on someone right away, especially when weddings and the events after encourage socialization.
2 Take advantage of the wedding magic.
Again, the bliss of a wedding doesn’t come by all the time. When you meet someone, talk about the ceremony, the elements of the event, the food, and even your own aspirations related to weddings. It may just attract the right person to you.
3 Pay attention to signals.
When you’re talking to someone, are they laughing at your jokes? Deepen eye contact with you? Flirting back, even subtly? Notice their body language too, from light touching, mirroring, or getting closer to you (but in a mannerful and consensual way).
4 They’d better be single!
This is important, people! Check if they have a ring on the finger or brought a plus one. It doesn’t hurt to ask the latter, towards them, or a mutual friend if you want to be more subtle. Because it’s really not cute at all to hit on someone who is taken.
Sold Out
5 Do it somewhere private.
The wedding is the special day of the bride and groom. So while you can flirt here and there through the events after it, escalating it is a private thing. Plus, you have more time and freedom to explore each other’s pleasure when you’re alone. Don’t want your Tita Girlie to call you out on your landian!
6 Have a good exit plan.
The last thing you’d want is getting caught by anyone and potentially taking the spotlight off the happily married couple. Scope out your options. Perhaps when most people are inside, sneak away in the back. If either of you is staying in a hotel linked to the wedding, you can escalate things further there. Have post-party plans set here, even if it’s spontaneous!
7 Use protection!
Always! More than ever, especially if you’re both strangers. And specifically, we suggest using condoms.
Whether it can be passed around during the reception (because it can happen), hitting up the guest service of the hotel, or heading down to a nearby convenience store, don’t skip this. While being on hormonal birth control is pretty great if you’re a vulva owner, using condoms can keep things a lot safer if you’re sleeping with a penis owner.
8 Don’t forget aftercare.
This step must never be skipped, especially if you’re going back to the party. Not only is it the final step of the entire deed, but it helps ease you both back to reality. And also, it’s an act of decency and respect towards each other.
Takeaway
Wedding hookups can be enjoyable when you find the right person and do it privately. With wedding magic in the air, it just feels extra hot to have someone you can do the deed with and release some steam. And well, have even more special memories linked to this special day. Just be sure to be responsible and get consent beforehand.
