First, congrats on the marriage. Second, have there been 3rd, 4th and etc times. Is is possible that the bleeding is the result of the vagina/hymen from having not having had intercourse before. I have seen some pretty hefty bleeding from the hymen. It certainly isn't expected to have bleeding for this long, first intercourse or not. I would consider seeing a physician for an exam... Lynn
