Our young women's lesson today was on temple marriage and in preparation I found this quote that pretty much sums up why it is so important to reserve intimacy until after marriage.
"Someday you will hold a little boy or a little girl in your arms and know that two of you have acted in partnership with our Heavenly Father in the creation of life. Because the youngster belongs to you, you may then come to love someone more than you love yourself.... Then you know, as few others know, what the word Father means when it is spoken of in the scriptures. You may then feel something of the love and concern that he has for us. It should have great meaning that of all titles of respect and honor and admiration that could be given him, God himself, he who is the highest of all, chose to be addressed simply as Father." Elder Boyd K. Packer (Conference Report, April, 1972, pp. 136-39)

Those are wonderful words, but the pictures says it all!
Yes, I agree with your mom! This picture is awesome. And you are gorgeous!
There is a fantastic book written by Jeffrey R. Holland called Of Souls, Symbols, and Sacraments about this subject. I think every parent and adolescent should read it.
