Bedding is:

  1. a custom in Westeros that after the wedding and feast the newlyweds are carried to bed to consummate the marriage. The bride by the men who would undress her on the way and tell rude jokes of what awaits her between the sheets. The women would do the same to the husband. Only after being bundled naked in bed would they be left alone and then the guest would wait outside the bridal chamber shouting ribald suggestions through the door. [1]
