They said everyone respected their decision - although they got "a few raised eyebrows".

Keylin said: "I think everyone thought our choice was weird, whether they expressed it or not.

"A lot of people were asking 'what if they're a bad kisser?' but I knew I had to keep my word."

They got engaged in January 2023.

Keylin said: "We thought we'd made it this long, why not wait six more months?"

A date was set for June 26 2023 and they counted down the days until they became husband and wife.

And when that day came, the nerves set in.

Keylin said: "We were more excited to be married than to kiss.

"The day of our wedding, I remember walking down the aisle and thinking everyone would see me kiss him - what if we miss our lips?

"It was nerve-wracking in front of everyone but it turned out surprisingly well."

Eleazer said: "It was weird at first, but it was nice."

Since their wedding the newlyweds have enjoyed a romantic honeymoon in Alaska - where they could smooch to their hearts' content.

The couple now feel it's made their relationship stronger - as it allowed them to build a better emotional connection before physical.

Keylin said: "Since the wedding we have shared a million bazillion kisses a day.

"Now we get to enjoy the physical aspects of marriage and it's even more special to have waited."

Eleazer added: "I would recommend having some time in your dating where you pull back on physical intimacy.

"It allows you to go on emotional connection and develop stability.

"Physical intimacy can be like a band aid covering up issues - but not having that encouraged us to mature emotionally towards each other."
