Quote:Both Jordan and Nessa hadn't had sex when they met, and they both intended to wait until they were married to be intimate.
The couple decided they wouldn't even kiss before they were married.
"We thought it was really our best way to glorify God," she added of abstaining from kissing.
Jordan proposed to Nessa in the summer of 2020, and they celebrated by holding hands. They planned to get married in February 2021.
Texas wasn't restricting weddings because of the coronavirus on their planned wedding date, so the couple was able to invite 350 people to their wedding.
Nessa told Insider she had been mentally preparing herself for the kiss the whole wedding day.
So after the officiant pronounced Nessa and Jordan husband and wife, she was ready for the kiss.
Jordan and Nessa said that on their honeymoon, they didn't rush into having sex, as they wanted to wait until they were in their actual bed at home because they believe "the marriage bed is sacred," as Nessa said.
"We actually took that time to really get to know each other," she said of their wedding night.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
