It is not mandatory to have sexual intercourse on the first night and it is not a sin not to, as long as you are not witholding sex without a good reason. If the couple want to get to know one another by talking this may be a good time. Either way they should work to get emotionally and physically closer to one another if they are not ready and InshaAllah it will happen naturally. But intimacy is an important part of marriage and should not be witheld indefinitely. Also the walima is NOT invalid if there has been no intercourse. There is a link explaining this fully but I cannot yet find it so if an editor knows please post it. If I find it I will post it JazakAllah.
