Got some lovely thick big towels for our wedding - we've washed them twice but they just don't seem to absorb the water well. Anyone got any suggestions??

Use them and wash them. Some take a while before they start absorbing well.

never use fabric softener on towels it is like putting rain-x on your windshield. It seals the pores. I use white vinegar instead, (in my softener dispenser). It will cut any left over soap residue and will not leave any smell after they are dry.

through constant n frequent usage the towel will become absorbant

wash them with detergent only (no liquid fabric softener) after a few washes, they'll be fine.
