Dec. 4th, 2008 11:06 pmCouple delays first kiss until wedding
CHICAGO (UPI) -- A Chicago couple say they followed through on a vow to not even kiss each other until they were officially married.
Claudaniel Fabien, 30, and Melody LaLuz, 28 -- both abstinence educators -- kissed for the first time Saturday at their wedding, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Sunday.
"It was surreal," Fabien said. "It was like, my other self came out and said, 'Look dude, you're kissing her!'"
Fabien works for the non-profit Confederation of Spanish American Families, while his bride directs the "What's Good" program for the LYDIA Home Association, a Christian service agency, the Sun-Times reported.
The two met on a mission trip to Uganda in 2006 but postponed dating while LaLuz completed a seven-year vow not to date until June 2007. LaLuz, now Mrs. Fabien, described their first kiss as magical.
"It feels like such a gift," said Melody. "When you value a kiss, it becomes something of worth."

What the hell? I don't understand abstinence to begin with unless the people practicing it are asexual, but this blows my mind. I am utterly fucking flabbergasted.
