Hello everybody,

Well i finally got married two weeks ago on the 23rd of July, and man it's worth the wait.100% the wait.

On the day of the wedding my nerves were up the wall. But mum prayed with me that morning and I believe that it wasn't only my mum and dad holding my hand, but God as well, i just felt at peace.

The wedding was just beautiful and music just went off. My friend was going to sing Nicole's song The "Ring" but in the end I sang it to him and it made him cry (that was the highlight of the night, i made him cry haha).

The next day we went to the Cook Islands and had the best time.

For those people who are not married yet. WAIT WAIT WAIT, it feels so much better been married, it's a whole new world. And for those who not have a boyfriend or girlfriend, pray because God has the right one for you. Well have fun.

Hi Hagess! Congratulations on your marriage! The post was really encouraging too.

I'm Todd everybody, a young Christian man in college. I have a question for everyone and anyone that wants to answer. We know we are supposed to save ourselves for marriage, but what about kissing? One of my friends, and also a girl that I like very much, is intent on not even kissing, and it makes me wonder if maybe I should feel the same.

Hi there,
thanks for the little message, i'm glad i can Encourage you.

Now about that question, I really think it's a Personal choice, waiting till you get married is a big MUST, but kissing is all up to you. Some people say oh no you shouldn't kiss because one thing leads to another, but again the choice is up to you. If the guy or girl believes in not kissing before marrage, then I would respect that 100% (if you really like them or love them, then that won't be hard)

When i first started going out with my new husband (Man I love saying that. NEW HUSBAND)
I said that I would never kiss before i got married, but as time went on and i fell in love with him that all changed.

I'll say one more thing, i really believe that everyone needs affection wheather its a hug or a kiss everyone needs now and again.

Hagess

Thanks and you're welcome! Yeah, everyone needs affection. Even a hug, I know the feeling of just wanting a hug sometimes!

Yeah, I definitely respect her boundaries. We aren't a couple or anything, just friends, but I do like her. She talks about how a lot of guys wont respect her boundaries. I think a lot of them might just do not understand, or are not sensitive to her boundaries. I think it would be good for us though, because I have similair boundaries. Of course there are a lot of other things, but at least in that way we're compatible together...

Anyways, enough of me! Thanks again!

Hello firstladycollie

Congrats on been engaged, thats the first step, now it's the big leap. The nerve thing is a very minor thing, please take my advice don't stress it makes it 10 times worse.

Hey there's no real hurry on the date, it took me around about 5 months to decide what date.
One week I would say this date then the next it would be another date, it happens.

Just pray that God be with you every step of the way, because believe me you will need him.

One last thing make sure you include him in everything, from where the wedding will be to what colour he wears ( remember your the one wearing white and he's the one wearing colour).
Even if he says you "do it all", be strong and say no you will need him.

Well good luck and God bless
I really hope that whatever you decide will be perfect for you.

Hey to all the girls on this board!

I got married July 24, 2004. We didn't wait until we were married to kiss, but after attending a wedding recently in which the couple did wait, I wish that we had. This couple is in their early thirties, and waited for their first kiss to each other to be at the wedding. It was the most beautiful, pure thing I have ever witnessed. I would highly suggest waiting, because it is hard not to be tempted and get carried away after a passionate kiss. I agree with all of you ladies - being married is awesome. The first year can be rough, but hang in there!
Love and God bless,
Deanna
