You need to get the full series of shots before you have sex. If you don't you could get HPV.

The vaccine protects against 70% of hpv.
By the time your 2nd shot is done you should have about 50% immunity.
Just use a condom for now.

Honey, please, even though you've had the shots, don't slack off! There are so many strains of HPV; you were probably vaccinated against the one strain they found a vaccine for. Please, don't think you're immune. Have a good time, but be smart about it.

Please, please, please use condoms! Use condoms until you get married! I mean it. Okay, you got the shots, and that's great, but there's still so many other diseases out there: HIV/AIDS, to start, which is fatal. Herpes, which is incurable. CMV stays in your body forever. Syphilis, which can literally make you crazy if you don't catch it. Gonorrhea, drug resistant gonorrhea, gonorrhea of the throat, chlamydia. Really, use condoms!
