the time to discuss birth control is months before you get married. this gives you time to go see your MD and get prescribed the proper form of BC for you and gets your body time to adjust to it and make sure it's most effectively working and that you understand how to take/apply it before the big launch on your wedding day.
unless you think you might be ready for kids (and you want to be REALLY sure about this- more on this subject later), do not do what a couple we know did...after they got married they went happily on their honeymoon without a care in the world. when they returned, they cornered a married couple in the church to discuss what they should be using for birth control. well, needless to say, their first child was born 9 months later. d'oh! if you want to have a leetle bit more control than that, see to this before you start making with the sex.
who's in charge of your birth control? the fella? the lady? the best way is to have both of you involved in it. even if he's the one using condoms, or she's the one taking the pill. both of you should be involved and confirming that it's being done ALWAYS. the thing about birth control is that most of the methods are extremely effective (numbers to follow) but ONLY IF ALWAYS USED CORRECTLY. it just takes one little slip up and wham bam you're up all night and exhausted the next day, not because of some awesome sexin', oh no, but because you were being puked on by your fussy baby. am i right? i am.
