Soooo, what if you get married and live with the in-laws. What if you dont have a bathroom in your room the first night?
I mean do you just change in front of him/her- and for girls makeup, will you leave your room, go into the bathroom, and wash your fase then run to your room? I mean think about it. This has me wondering.
AND
when/how would you do the ghusl after wedding night if you have to perform Fajr prayers? =)

That is quite a genuine question Sabs.
I think you can do two things in terms of changing. You can ask him to leave the room (make him understand that at this time, you need some privacy) and change. Or you can ask him to turn around and dont look back (that is if you have that degree of frankness with him).
For the makeup removal, I suggest that have makeup removal wipes with you. No need to go to the bathroom and wash face.
I am really surprised that you did not bring up "when/how would you do the ghusl after wedding night if you have to perform Fajr prayers"? :D. That is a more serious situation than the other two.
Be bold about it. People (your in laws, if they noticed) would actually appreciate it that you did not leave your fajr even on your wedding night. Go out around early morning and do your ghusl.
Another thing that can be done (and not so difficult as rukhsati and other rasm dont finish till like 3 in the morning) is that delay that actual "act" till after fajar, and then sleep in till noon time.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree here.
In Pakistan, where going home for the rukhsati is very common, bahtrooms are usually attached to the bedrooms. That’s how many homes are built there, even the lower middle class homes have at least one bathroom attached to a bedroom.
Outside of Pakistan, the wedding night usually takes place in a hotel room…and if your first night is spent in a house with no privacy, then like he said…you have alot mroe problems than just the awkwardness.
