SHOULD I LET MY FIANCE’S FAMILY HANG OUTSIDE THE DOOR ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT?

This question popped up on Reddit’s relationship advice section:
“I’m a 23-year-old guy getting married to my 23-year-old girlfriend early next year. I don’t have a lot of family. She, however, has a huge extended family. Something weird I’ve noticed since we got engaged is that my GF’s cousins sometimes make jokes about our wedding night. A few nights ago we were discussing honeymoon plans and my girlfriend says that she’d like for us to stay at her parent’s house. She tells me that there’s a really old tradition in her family on the wedding night. The husband and wife go into the master bedroom together to “consummate” the marriage. The rest of the family are waiting outside the door so they can applaud them and cheer when they come out. Then a piece of the bed sheet is cut off and sewn into a big tapestry her mother owns. I absolutely freaked and told her under no circumstances will I be doing that kind of thing in front of her whole family. I don’t know how I’m meant to go on from here. I really love my GF and she is the woman I want to spend my life with. I’m freaked out of course but she is my whole world. But how should I handle her family and navigate this ‘tradition’?”
* Come on, baby, lighten up and get with the vibe, man.
* This sounds like the plot of that “Midsommar” horror movie from last year.
* Absolutely not. Do you know how much good bedsheets cost these days?
* Do the in-laws cuddle under the family sex blanket on a cold winter night?
* If they want your wedding night bedsheets, that can be a huge red flag.
