[SoothingDave]

There are no mention of wedding night festivities in Genesis either.

What are you saying? Matthew 1:24 says that Joseph took Mary as his wife. But it does not say that they had sex.

But it does not say that they had sex.

You're right "not till she had brought forth her firstborn son."

[Quester]

Matthew 1:24 says that Joseph took Mary as his wife. But it does not say that they had sex.

Agreed. Verse 25 provides us with the extra testimony that Joseph knew not his wife until the birth of her firstborn son.
