A couple Keylin and Eleazer Akuchie waited until their wedding day to share their first-ever kiss – and said, holding out made their relationship “even more special”.
Keylin Akuchie, 24, went on her first date with now-husband Eleazer Akuchie, 25, in January 2022. They vowed within the first two weeks of dating to hold off any physical intimacy, for religious reasons, until they got engaged.
When Eleazer got down on one knee a year later, they decided to wait even longer. They shared their first smooch at the end of the aisle on their wedding day, as husband and wife, in front of their friends and family, last month.
And after waiting 17 months to kiss, Keylin said they have shared “a million bazillion kisses a day” to make up for lost time. They wasted no time connecting sexually for the first time as husband and wife.
Since then they have enjoyed being intimate together regularly, although they’re glad they waited. Keylin said prior to their marriage, there were moments of temptation, but they avoided breaking their promise to each other by going out with a group of friends instead of alone.
If they were ever alone, she said they would do activities such as rock climbing, hiking, going out to dinner, or praying to avoid temptation. They would share forehead and cheek kisses, hold hands and hug, but that was as far as physical intimacy went.
Eleazer, a facilities coordinator from Dallas, Texas, said: “I had never kissed anyone before – I wanted the first person I kissed to be the one I married. It meant a lot to me although some people saw it as being extreme. When we finally kissed on our wedding day it was nice – although now we’re married I still keep forgetting we can kiss!”
