In a softly lit courtyard, in a delicately sculpted gown, Maggie took her final steps towards her boyfriend of five years.
Today they would share not just their wedding with friends and family but also their first kiss.
US couple Maggie and Andrew Barragan met five years ago but decided they would wait until marriage before sharing even the most classic form of romantic gestures.
The idea of not kissing your partner until the wedding may seem a bit extreme. In fact, there’s a small, loud cynical voice inside me that whispers as I watch their video: What if they can’t kiss? What if they pull back to find my chin dripping? What if only one does tongue and it’s like trying to pry open a vault with a wet sponge?
But the longer I watch and the more I read about their relationship, the quieter that voice becomes.
Andrew proposed while the two were on holiday in New York. Maggie announced the news to her friends and family over Instagram with the kind of photo you’re always trying to do with your partner but they give you a face like this: :/
The couple have continued to celebrate and share their life together through social media.
Let’s hope all their firsts were as sweet.

First kiss in 5 years? Hmm...maybe the the first they'll admit to.
well, whatever floats your boat.
we should support all women's sexual choices, and if that includes abstaining, so be it. hope it all works out for them.
We should support their right to choose what they want to do, but we have no obligation to support any choice they make.
Some people will make choices that seem utterly ridiculous and foolish to others. There are a thousand reasons why not kissing until you're married is one such choice. People are free to make that choice, and I am free to express the opinion that it's foolhardy and naive (while still wishing them the best).
....you're still effectively shaming their choice by calling it "foolhardy and naive". It's nobody's business but the couple themselves, and everyone should butt out, which includes people giving their unsolicited opinions on the matter.
Or at least that's what would be said if it were the other way around!
