Wait, I thought Jesus said you shouldn't get married at all? You shouldn't have ties for when he comes back and blows everything up or whatever.

It's a good thing you're not a waitress. If a fat girl sat at your table, you'd probably tell her to stop being a weakling, put down the fork and get back on the treadmill...  And you'd probably think you're doing her a kindness. It's not your fault - your religious bigotry, which has been imparted to you since early childhood is what makes you judgmental and controlling.
We're all free to make our own choices - and deal with consequences. And as I mentioned - christians deal with guilt and shame pretty well, since they have an imaginary wizard friend, ready to forgive them anything at the drop of a hat.
Also - just because someone believes that "sex is for marriage" doesn't mean they have to continue thinking that. If they like a bit of "strange" - they may do well to accept that personal quirk and learn to live with it, instead of being a hypocrite.

Saving sex for marriage is a fundamental Christian teaching. I'm sure there probably are fundamentalist Christians out there who think casual sex is moral, but that kinda goes against the whole premise of being a fundamentalist Christian, so chances are they will regret it.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Chances of them regretting doesn't equal me having knowledge telling me that they will regret.

This is not a parallel analogy. A parallel analogy would be if I knew someone was on a diet trying to lose weight and then I agreed to make them doughnuts or something.
Also, I don't appreciate the hypocrisy of you calling me a religious bigot and then saying I'm the one being judgmental. Right after you make a judgement about me.

Ok, fair enough.
So, knowing they are fundamentalist Christians, would you at least pause and say something like "are you sure you want to do this? I don't want to contribute to you doing something that jeopardizes your values and that you will come to regret..."

Why should I pause and ask? Her proposition shows clearly enough what is her opinion about "values" in question. If she will regret it later, well tough shit. I also have my regrets.
