Rebekah Hurford, 32, and Kirk Peter, 33, waited until their wedding day to share their first kiss and have sex, a decision they believe strengthened their relationship.
The couple, both from New York, had only shared hugs and pecks for 19 months before their September 2024 wedding.
After the ceremony, they sneaked into the bathroom for a "great but awkward" first kiss.
They had committed to waiting until marriage to ensure a deeper connection and to honor each other.
Despite challenges, they find their decision rewarding and are now focused on health and future plans, including children.
