(Not physically I know what your thinking). But spiritually.
Prophet Mohammed PBUH, did not have sex at marriage, like most Muslims we do not act upon European "Rituals" or w.e you like to call it, to have sex with the bride at the first day of wedding.
After Marriage in Islam:
-The Grooms mother has to live with the husband and wife for 1 month to make sure things are going well, then leaves.
-The Groom must first learn about the bride, and the bride about the Groom -REMEMBER its a arranged marriage-
All this takes around 5years at most to do. but some Modern Muslim weddings have changed and dont use these 2 rules.
