Couple Kiss For The First Time At Their Wedding
March 5, 2009
A Chicago-area couple who are abstinence educators for the Confederation of Spanish American Families and the LYDIA Home Association practiced what they preached: the couple vowed not to kiss each other until they exchanged wedding vows. Melody LaLuz and Claudaniel Fabien, who met while on their way to Uganda in 2006, waited until June of 2007 to begin dating, to allow Melody to complete a seven-year vow of celibacy.
Fabien, who lived in Tucson, Arizona became friends with LaLuz by talking on the phone and visiting her. He landed a job in Chicago last November and proposed to LaLuz in Miami, Florida in July. The couple works to encourage Hispanic youths enrolled in the Chicago Public Schools to focus on their futures by concentrating on their education and job prospects before becoming romantically involved with others.
LaLuz described the couple’s first kiss as “magical” and said “When you value a kiss, it becomes something of worth.” The couple shared a honeymoon in the Bahamas and will make their home in Chicago.
