I was reading up on this...

SunniPath: The Fiqh of Walimas

I wanted to get your opinion on this statement:

"Having said this, scholars mention that there is also scope in following the other opinions, thus if one had a Walima before consummation, it is hoped that one will gain the reward of Sunna."

The thing is my wife and I did our Nikah ceromony but held it in a banquet and fed around a hundred back home in Pakistan right after we signed the Nikah Nama. We did not consumate the marriage (as I had to get back to Canada and to sponsor her), though I have been alone with her a few times around eight months after the Nikah (it was not exactly a wedding night thing) and I am wondering if I would still have to do a Walima regardless or could other opinions be taken?
