*****
Megan and I have always been close. Besides being her mom, Megan and I were friends and really liked each other! As she grew, we would go to dance lessons, piano lessons, movies, shopping, sports, and later even talk about boys together. Best of all, even though I have a master's degree, my wonderful husband has been successful in his business, so I get to be a stay at home mom. A job I really love!
Megan was so excited when she came home with Eric's engagement ring. We knew it was going to happen when Eric talked to her father. I was happy for her. Eric has exciting potential, a love for life, and will be a wonderful husband. We talked late into the evening about her wedding plans, bride's maids, and yes, sex. When she was still too excited to go to bed, we found a late-night chick flick on the television and watched it together.
The next afternoon, she asked me to go shopping with her. As we were going from store to store, looking at wedding dresses, lingerie, and other things, we chatted about this and that and she asked about her doctor's appointment that was scheduled next week. She wanted to know more about birth control pills, and wanted to start taking them. She explained that they wanted to wait a while before she got pregnant, at least until Eric graduated. Besides that, there was the "Tradition" that she needed to talk to me about. That sounded very mysterious.
We stopped for a cool drink and she started trying to explain the tradition. She said that Eric's family had a wedding tradition that they had passed down from many generations. It is important to Eric and his family, that the tradition continue. They say it promises to bring boundless joy and harmony to us and all we love. We think this tradition ought to continue with our marriage.
"What is this tradition," I asked.
"Well," she stammered, "um...err...well, after the rehearsal dinner, after everyone except the wedding party has gone, we...well...have another kind of a wedding party. A wedding sex party! Just the five couples."
"What?" I said, astonished that my daughter would even suggest such a thing. She looked directly at me, looking for my reaction, trying to decide how to continue.
"Yes," she said quietly. "After the doors are locked, Eric's family tradition begins. We put down five mattresses in a circle on the floor."
"I'm sorry dear, what are the mattresses for?" My mind was going in circles, locked doors, putting down mattresses--
"I'm getting to that, mom. I will give each of the ladies a lacy pink pillow with a heart shaped pocket on the front. In the pillow's pocket, there will be a Pocket Rocket, you know, one of those little vibrators as a gift, and a pair of white lace panties."
I was starting to see where this was going and I wasn't quite sure I was ready for what was coming next.
"You are kidding me, aren't you?"
"No mom. I'm serious! This is really important."
"Then we each undress our partners and our partner will lead each of us to one of the mattresses, and help us to us lie down.
"I, first, will have sex with Dad, then with Eric's Father, the Groomsman, the Best Man, and then Eric. He wants to save me for his last. I'm so excited! I think my panties are getting wet just from talking about this!"
"You know mom, I'm still a virgin. I have never had sex before. Even when Eric would examine me for his classes, he was always fully clothed, and I only uncovered the parts of me that he was studying, like it would be in a real doctor's office. He examined me inside and out, but it was always very professional."
"Anyway, you will have sex with Eric's Father first, then Eric, Dad, the Groomsman, and the Best Man, in that order. Each of the other ladies will take each of the men in a different order. Eric has this all worked out on some cards he will give to the men, and I will have cards for the ladies."
"Mom, the tradition is not just the sex, it is about the mixing of the semen from all five men together in our bodies, symbolizing close, loving relationships with family and friends. That's why I need the birth control pills. I want to have children, but I want to know who their father is!"
"Once each of us have had sex with all five of the men, I will ask each of the women to put the pillow under their hips and lay there for a few minutes to let all the juices mix together inside and then put the panties on. Eric says the panties will help the women to keep the mixture inside longer, instead of running down our legs when we get up. We can then get dressed, and the tradition will be done."
"Oh, mom, I think it sounds so exciting. I can hardly wait! Can you see, mom, how this will help us all be closer? It will be so much fun!"
Megan spoke in such a matter of fact way about this that I could tell she was alright with it. Was I going to be? What would my husband say? She had such a sweet look of excitement and anticipation in her eyes. She would be a beautiful bride.
Megan continued, "I am so excited to become Eric's wife and a part of his family. This is their traditional way of welcoming me. Anything I can do to help make this work, well you can see, I just have to do it!"
I was quiet, pondering what she wanted to do. In my own turmoil, my natural reaction would be to say no. But if I declined, how would that change our relationship? What would that do to Megan's relationship with her future in-laws? How could I tell her no when it seemed such an important part of her impending wedding?
Her dad and I had talked about things like this before, but we had never followed through. We thought we'd try it someday. We really didn't say no, we just never said now. Maybe this was the time to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Our sex life in the bedroom was not what it used to be.
I looked at Megan. "Megan, if you think this is something that will make you feel more a part of Eric's family; well, I think you should do it, and we will be there with you. Of course, you and Eric will have to talk to your dad about this too."
What did I just say? Was that me accepting this invitation? Oh, my!
"I know, mom, but we want wait until the wedding gets a little closer so he doesn't freak out and have too much time to think about it. We both thought talking to you about it first would be a good idea. Sometimes Eric gets flustered or is at a loss for words. You can step in and help make it alright."
What pressure that put on me. Not only was I accepting this "Tradition" but I had to make it right with my husband as well.
The next week I went with Megan to the doctor. After she had done the examination she asked me to come into her office with Megan. She discussed types of birth control and we decided on the one that sounded best for Megan. She said it was wise for a young people to become a couple before adding children into the mix. We took the prescription with us, thanked the doctor and left.
Megan was giddy as a teenager as we waited in the pharmacy for the prescription to be filled. I could tell there were no second thoughts about this wedding, on her part, or the pre-wedding party either.
Over the next several weeks, Megan continued her wedding preparations. We had several more conversations about sex, the family wedding tradition, and what would make sex with Eric extra special.
The Rehearsal
We met Eric's parents for the first time as we arrived for the rehearsal. They were a distinguished looking couple, and very nice. They were, perhaps, a few years older than we were. We were soon all involved in the workings of the wedding and how it would proceed, it didn't take long for everyone to feel comfortable with their places and the parts they would play.
