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.
