What's so weird about that? I mean its odd to those of us who aren't religious but plenty of people adhere to these values. Orthodox Jews and Muslims do the same. Not only do Orthodox Jews not kiss before marriage, but they don't even touch. Not a hand hold, nada. I think Muslims are supposed to be the same but I'm not 100% sure.

Oh the horror!

j/k

I think it's very sweet and not bad.

Eh, just from personal experience with the complete opposite situation, I really don't understand what difference it is supposed to make ultimately.

It sounds like the majority of the population here do not hold into a belief that they themselves feel strongly towards. These people want to hold on their beliefs which would strengthen their morale whether the situation is meaningful or not.

That is what I see.

Well, I could see where those rules made sense back in the days before women's rights, reliable contreception, and paternity testing. I just don't see a lot of value to them anymore. If other people do, that's fine. I'll still think is weird and pointless, but I am not going to try and stop them or anything.

Only if the other party isn't good at kissing.

CHARLESTON, SC-John and Linda McCue, joined in holy matrimony Sunday before friends, family and their Lord at Holy Christ Almighty Lutheran Church, said the incredibly awkward wedding-night consummation of their love was "well worth the wait."

"I'm so glad we waited until we got married-it made it so much more special," said the 26-year-old Linda, who is "pretty sure" John's ####### penetrated her vaginal opening during the brief, fumbling lovemaking session. "I can't imagine what a letdown our first sexual experience would have been if we'd done it at some point during our five years of dating."

John, 27, agreed. "As I prepared, sweat-drenched and terror-struck, to insert my semi-erect ####### into my petrified new bride, I couldn't help but think what a precious, magical moment it was. Then, as Linda started to cry out from the anticipation of pain from the first-ever breaching of her tightly constricted vaginal walls, a tear of joy streamed down my cheek."

According to the devout Lutherans, after retiring to their bridal suite at the Charleston Marriott East, Linda decided to initiate the evening of romance and dread by excusing herself to the bathroom, where she spent "approximately an hour" changing into the floor-length cotton nightgown she had purchased especially for the occasion.

Recalled John: "When I saw Linda emerge from the bathroom, a vision in billowing, opaque cloth, her head and hands peeking tantalizingly from the tight collar and cuffs, the moment we first fell in love came rushing back to me in a wave of adoration and fear."

After an estimated 45 minutes spent in prayer and devotionals to ensure the smoothest possible act of coitus, John made sure the windows and doors were all securely locked, and that all windowshades and blinds were closed. He then reached to his nightstand to turn out the lights "to contribute to the feeling of romance" and "because Linda refused to let me touch her nightgown until the room was completely dark."

Trembling in giddy anticipation and fright, the longtime couple climbed under the sheets and blankets, where John took his place on top of his blushing, sobbing bride.

"As with millions of young newlyweds who haven't yet had sex," John said, "there was some nervousness and confusion at first. But after a couple of minutes, we figured out that it would be easier if Linda separated her legs to facilitate entry."

Penile insertion was somewhat complicated by John's refusal to assist the navigation process by touching himself-an act the Bible strictly prohibits-but a few more minutes of unsteady shifting and jabbing enabled his ####### to "almost certainly" enter Linda.

Having at last achieved probable sexual congress, the couple was brought to new heights of nervous, clumsy passion. "As I ran my trembling hands over John's rigid shoulders," Linda said, "I said a prayer thanking our Lord Jesus for giving us the strength to wait for this wonderful, fulfilling moment. It certainly was every bit as special as I'd hoped."

Added Linda: "I'm sure the first time isn't anywhere near as magical for all those young people who don't save themselves for marriage. Now I know why God wanted us to wait."

As the sexual act wore on, Linda said it grew gloriously tolerable, describing the experience as "endurable beyond my wildest dreams."

"Toward the end," she said, "I was almost relaxed enough to enjoy myself, and then, of course, John ejaculated." Linda declined to elaborate on her new husband's sexual climax, but said, "I can definitely say that the encounter, which yesterday would have been an unforgivable sin in the eyes of God, was noticeably pleasurable, and probably even somewhat erotic in nature."

John agreed wholeheartedly, calling their wedding-night union "the most exciting minutes of my life." Immediately after finishing, the newlyweds took turns showering.

As for the future of the couple's sex life, John said he is full of hope. "I'd like to maybe try actually touching Linda's ####### with my hand at some point," he said. "Then again, I don't want to rush things. Also, I've heard that the ####### kind of smells bad."

"I certainly hope the Lord will now bless us with a child after this wonderful night," Linda said. "If not, we may be forced to repeat this beautiful experience."

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.

Oh wow, that is so sweet to hear that marriage still matters here in America. Sometimes we quickly just get into a relationship for the wrong reason, kissing and telling, that sort of stupid stuff (kind-of like what they do on Sex and the City). I'm so touched by that story and hope and pray that others will learn from this type of story and save these wonderful moments for marriage... It does wonders for your relationship and future marriage.

I think it's sweet....I personally don't adhere to those beliefs, but I'm with the 'more power to em' camp...

A pic's worth a thousand words:

gives me chills...awww

I don't even know where to begin with this story. I'm sorry, but this is just so sad.
