Couples kiss for first time - at wedding
source: Annanova
An American couple going out for two years have enjoyed their first kiss - at their wedding.
Katie and Tim McAfee agreed to a sex ban and no kissing before they wed. The couple from Bismarck, North Dakota, are devout Christians.
They prayed with their parents for God's strength before going out on dates. Tim, 25, touched his 24-year-old wife's lips for the first time at Bismarck's Evangel Temple.
Tim said his kiss with Katie was great but added: "I don't have anything to compare it with."
Katie's sister, Margie, 21, and her new husband Nadir Torres, 22 also took the same vow and were wed at the same ceremony minutes later.
All four Christians wanted to uphold biblical law on sexual purity and were worried even kissing each other could "light a fire," reports the Bismarck Tribune. The girl's parents, Pam and Larry Rehn, prayed with the couples before letting them leave for a date. Both their daughters took a covenant of purity when they turned 13 and were given a purity ring to wear.
Pam said the newlyweds were "nervous" when the time came to spend their first night together after the wedding celebrations. She told her new sons to be gentle with her daughters, then watched them walk home. "The girls kept looking back," Pam added.
