Before 'I-Do' PRE-WEDDING INTIMACY CLASSES - For Christians, by Christians

**PLEASE NOTE:

1. You are only required to register once; one ticket covers both bride & groom.
2. You will only see one class date listed for each month. That date is simply the first session of the 4-week series and is used as your registration date. When you register for that date, you are automatically enrolled in all four weekly classes for that month.

Example:

January 2026 Registration
If you register for January, the registration date you will see is January 5th. After you have completed your regsitration, you will automatically be registered for January 12th, January 19th, and January 26th.

How We Got Started

A really good friend of mine — who has, by God’s grace, remained a virgin and continues to wait until marriage — inspired this class.

One day during a regular girls’ hangout, we were chatting about what we’d want our “bachelorette” nights to look like. One of the friends with us mentioned that at her church, the older women gather with the younger women to share wisdom and guidance for the wedding night.

My friend who is waiting until marriage said something that stuck with me: there is real value in that kind of support. She knows women who also waited, yet went into their wedding night feeling completely unprepared for what to expect.

In that moment, it dawned on me — there’s a gap in the Kingdom.
We go from “Don’t have sex, keep yourself until marriage” straight into
“Congratulations, you’re married… now consummate.”

And many couples are left feeling unsure, anxious, or simply disconnected.

That’s why I created Before ‘I Do.’
Not as a sex class, but as a safe, faith-centered space for Christian couples who:

• have never had sex,
• have never had sex with each other, or
• have recommitted their relationship to God and chosen to wait again.

These classes focus on what often gets overlooked:
communication, connection, and comfort.

These classes are recommended for Christian couples who are already engaged and 2-4 weeks away from their wedding day.

What the Class Includes

Our time together is divided into two main parts:

✨ Communication

Couples will participate in 10+ communication activities designed to help you understand each other’s communication styles — and how that understanding can help you respond with love, clarity, and confidence on your wedding night and beyond.

✨ Connection (Non-Sexual Intimacy)

You’ll also engage in 10+ connection-building activities that promote closeness without crossing physical boundaries.
If you and your partner are being intentional about limiting physical intimacy to avoid temptation, this session creates a safe, guided environment to build connection in ways that are meaningful, supportive, and fully God-honoring.

Our Goal

For every couple to leave feeling:

• closer and more connected
• confident expressing their needs
• comfortable communicating — even the awkward or vulnerable things
• less anxious about the 'wedding-night jitters'
• supported by both their partner and a community of soon-to-be newlyweds

Before ‘I Do’ is your chance to prepare your heart, your partnership, and your communication for one of the most meaningful nights of your life — with grace, humor, and God at the center.
