Should I wait to have sex?

I am a 17 year old virgin. I think I want to have sex, but I wonder if I would be ready emotionally. Also I think sex might be a present I want to unwrap on my wedding night, and save only for my husband. Guys, what do you think? Would you like to have a virgin wife only for you... to have a special thing that no other man has touched, or would you rather someone experienced?
