couple waited for marriage to kiss

[Amby 490]

Chicago couple have kissed for the first time - at their wedding.Claudaniel Fabien, 30, and Melody La Luz, 28, teach abstinence courses in schools and wanted to practice what they preach, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.

So they agreed not to even touch lips until the minister said: "You may now kiss the bride" at their wedding.

"It was surreal," said Mr Fabien of the big moment. "It was like, my other self came out and said, 'Look dude, you're kissing her!'"

His bride described the kiss as "magical". "It feels like such a gift," she said. "When you value a kiss, it becomes something of worth."

The couple met on their way to a mission trip in Uganda in 2006. Miss La Luz had taken a seven-year vow not to date until June 2007, and the two lived in different cities, she in Chicago and he in Tucson.

After the trip, they talked on the phone, visited, and became friends. A year ago, Mr Fabien got a job in Chicago, and the two began dating. He proposed last July, writing "WYMM" in sand on a Miami beach.

aaahhh, how sweet...and frighteningly weird!

Yeah, wife just attended a wedding shower like that, couple never even held hands and bragged about it. Does that make them holier than thou? Maybe they think so, I don't.

I guess I did hold my wife's hand before I married her, she needed help getting out of the car when parked near a curb, guess I am going to hell for that.

It's good. I love people who hold to their beliefs.

Oh my gosh, this is ridiculous. Some people are being too extreme with the whole abstinence issue. Snap out of it!

How do you prove something like that? Were they chaperoned on every meeting together?

Now I have this song by a band that is completely censored out here, but you can google if you are bored, stuck in my head:

I saw your deep blue eyes from afar

I saw you at the church bazaar

I asked the priest to introduce me to your mother

And I asked her to introduce us to each other

I asked you to go on a picnic of our own

But you insisted on taking a chaperone

I apologized for being so bold and rude

So I invited your parents for lemonade and food

We're saving ourselves

Saving ourselves for marriage

Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage

Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right

Saving ourselves, for our wedding night

After four years of dating, I decided to take a risk

I held both your hands, and kissed your rose-petaled lips

We stared into each others' eyes, wondering what was next

But we knew not to ruin our love with pre-marital sex

We're saving ourselves

Saving ourselves for marriage

Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage

Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right

Saving ourselves, for our wedding night

Years went by, our courtship was grand

One day I asked your father for your hand

I'd never treat you like an object, only like a lady

I'd never consider having sex, except to have a baby

We're saving ourselves

Saving ourselves for marriage

Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage

Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right

Saving ourselves, for our wedding night

i say more power to them.

[Mononoke28 135]

You know they were probably masturbating the whole time they were dating. That just makes me sad.
