Appearing on series seven of TLC reality series Welcome To Plathville, which follows Lydia and her family and was filmed before the couple wed, a producer on the show asked her what her first kiss was like.
"It hasn't happened yet", she responded.
"He has committed, and I guess now I have committed to saving our first kiss for our wedding day."
Zac revealed that he had wanted to save the kiss as he didn't want it to "get in the way of really getting to know someone."

He explained that he had shared his reasoning with Lydia, who then revealed that she too had "always wanted that."
"There are moments where it can be tempting, but I think self-control is just a way that we can represent to Lord together", Zac said.
He added that instead of kissing, the couple do other stuff like "climbing trees", and "skipping" and "dancing".
"It's better than kissing really".

Celebs that waited until marriage to have sex
Celebrities tend to keep the details of their sex life private, but when it comes to their choice to wait until marriage, some stars are actually willing to open up.
Jessica Simpson
- Before marrying Nick Lachey, Jessica was very open about her decision to remain a virgin. She said she was nervous about discussing the topic with Nick for the first time, but he "stayed patient" until they tied the knot in 2002.
Justin and Hailey Bieber
- Justin may have been with other people before his wife Hailey, but when they reconnected in 2019, he was more than a year into a self-imposed tenure of celibacy. Together, the couple decided to continue to refrain from having sex until they were married.
Adriana Lima
- Victoria's Secret model Adriana's Catholic faith influenced her decision to save herself for marriage. She explained potential suitors would have to respect her decision — and if they weren't willing to wait, then they weren't the right person for her.
Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel
- When Miranda started dating Snapchat founder Evan, the couple decided to wait until marriage to have sex because of Evan's traditional beliefs. In an interview, Miranda was asked about the possibility of having children before their wedding and she said it wouldn't be possible: "Not until after we get married. My partner is very traditional. We can't...I mean we're just...waiting,' she told The Times.
Kevin Jonas
- All the Jonas brothers famously wore purity rings for much of their adolescence, in part due to their religious upbringing. While Nick and Joe ended up taking their rings off, Kevin saw things through until he tied the knot with his wife Danielle in 2009.

She explained that they were inspired by their religious beliefs to abstain from any form of physical intimacy.
"It is truly because we have felt this conviction from the Lord," Kaytlin explained.

With each astrological sign, water gives way to emotional depth, strong intuition, and a capacity for deep empathy and connection.
