Olympic archer, Jennifer Nichols has had no issue keeping her eye on her target, and her love and relationship values were no exception. In fact, the celibate athlete didn’t even experience her first kiss until she was 27-years-old.
“I saved my first kiss for the man I knew I was going to marry — my fiance,” the now 28-year-old Christian tells of romantic first kiss with now-fiance, Chris Hardy, 25. “I made that commitment when I was about 13 years old. I knew that I wanted to save my kiss on top of purity. I felt like a kiss was something very special and I wanted to save that.”
“We were both in the same political science class,” Nichols said of meeting her beau “I saw him from across the room and I was really attracted to him and then one morning I was coming from my Arabic class and I had a box of donuts and I saw him sitting on a bench so I offered him some donuts.”
The couple are now planning their wedding, with Hardy chipping in while his bride-to-be goes off to her third Olympics.
