I usually get a quick edit up on smugmug fairly quickly (possibly not the full set), but I need to distance myself from the wedding a bit before I make a final pass on the files.
I then review the files on smugmug a week or two after to see how my thoughts have changed. I really am not in the correct mindset to cull/edit right after the event. Way too involved and concerned with what I thought went poorly or what I thought went well.
This could be my inexperience showing though.
Definitely not inexperience. Just different strokes for different folks.
I go home from a wedding, and know instantly what, if anything, I missed, what went well and what went awry, but most importantly, I acknowledge that I can't go back. So editing the following day is all good.
I tend to shoot for how I edit, and shoot for a story as best as possible. So with that said, I know how I'll be sorting images by the time I get home. Then I get right to editing.
I understand why some people need a few days or a week to sit on the edits. I, on the other hand, have never felt like I do. Maybe I'm just lucky in that regard?

Nope. I think it's good to have a little time. I usually look right after but let it settle a bit before going through final editing--sometimes a week or so. It helps a lot to distance yourself from the work so you can look on it with fresh eyes imo.
I hear a lot of people say that. Now I feel weird for not feeling like that. I feel like the next morning, my ideas are fresh in my head. Like the writer that shoots up out of bed and has to start taking notes on his ideas. I have to get them "on paper" or they're gone.
