Welcome to Plathville’s Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse were vocal about saving their first kiss for their wedding day — so how long did they wait to have sex?
During the Tuesday, May 19, episode of the TLC series, Lydia, 22, met up with her friend and bridesmaid Mariah to talk about how married life was going with Zac, 24, after tying the knot in February 2025.
“[It’s] been really great. Enjoying marriage, discovering marriage,” Lydia said.

She then detailed how her and Zac’s first night together after kissing at the altar.
“Zac had told me leading up to the wedding, he was like, ‘You know, when it comes to sex, when it comes to intimacy, like, I want you to let me know when you’re ready,’” Lydia recalled.
The reality star remembered her now-husband saying, “‘If you want to wait a week, you know, [and] enjoy a week of kissing and making out and warming up to each other before we do anything else [we can].’ He’s like, ‘I’m here to serve you.’”
Lydia noted that Zac “really created a safe place” for her in the bedroom before confirming they had sex shortly after becoming husband and wife.
“No, we didn’t wait a week so much,” she told her friend, making a cheeky face and letting out a laugh.
Lydia explained, “I don’t want to disclose what our wedding night looked like, but it was so beautiful. It’s just so perfect and so God-centered and so just honoring.”

The TLC personality was also honest about what it was like being naked in front of somebody else after growing up in such a conservative household.
“I wouldn’t even change it in front of my sister’s till I was like 17,” Lydia confessed to Mariah. “That was honestly something that surprised both of us, just how comfortable we were with each other from day one.”
Lydia — who received backlash from her family over how quickly she married Zac — told the cameras that she’s happy with the couple’s sex life thus far. (Ahead of their special day, Lydia’s eldest brother Ethan Plath questioned Zac’s sexuality after learning they hadn’t kissed. Ethan, 28, and the rest of the family eventually apologized for being so critical.)
“There’s definitely a side of me that no one has ever seen or I never imagined was there. But, it’s for Zac only and it’s awesome,” Lydia teased before biting a banana on camera. The action, which appeared somewhat sexual, caused the crew to laugh, but Lydia insisted it wasn’t on “purpose.”

Lydia, who moved to Colorado from Florida with Zac earlier this month, proceeded to give fans a little glimpse at the couple’s newlywed phase.
“There’s just such a beauty in sex and intimacy with your spouse. That’s like it just breeds so much deeper connection [of] joy, love,” Lydia shared. “It’s literally life giving, like, literally, but it also is life giving as a couple. Like it, it does bring life into the world, but it also brings life into your marriage.”
