I avoided asking any book questions thus far, mainly because I'm not interested, but one part of Sunday's episode has aroused my curiosity.

When Joffrey taunts Tyrion and Sansa with a call for the "Bedding Ceremony," everyone seems to know what he's talking about. I assume the ritual involves consummating in front of the guests or something hot like that. Ever explained or actually carried through with in the books?

on their wedding night, it is customary for the bride and groom to be escorted from the wedding hall by the guests (the groom by a mob of the ladies, and the bride by a mob of the men). These 'escort' mobs strip the bride and groom naked, tell baudy jokes (I guess that's to try to make the situation slightly less awkward) then shove them into the bedchamber, and wait outside the door watching and listening.
