The first kiss at your wedding ceremony is a big deal. It's the first physical chance to show your love for your new husband or wife, and it's a moment that your guests are waiting for. So make it a good one!
Kissing is not a legal requirement or act within a wedding ceremony. It is a personal choice between bride and groom and whether they feel comfortable doing so in public. I have married many couples who have not kissed mainly due to their culture where kissing in public is not acceptable.
The first kiss is a pivotal moment. It's the primary way to tell if your relationship is romantic or platonic. The quality and timing of that first kiss can be a deal-maker, or breaker. A couple's smooch style can be in perfect harmony from the very beginning.
The key to kissing at a wedding is to find the perfect balance. A quick peck may come off as insincere but a full on make-out session will make your guests uncomfortable. Aim for a kiss that is affectionate, sweet and sincere – but remember that grandma is watching!
The recessional begins immediately after the first kiss and usually follows the reverse order of the processional. The newlyweds lead the way back down the aisle—but not before the maid of honor hands back the bouquets and straightens out the bride's gown and its train if needed.
No, it's not sinful, but it is unwise. The act that God deems sinful is sex before marriage, not kissing or cuddling. The problem is, we're wired on a physical level to desire sex, and kissing and cuddling triggers that desire.
We recommend a lot of practice kisses along the way to get it right on the wedding day. Not only will it serve the very practical purpose of delivering that perfect kiss, but it will also potentially bring you closer. And if it's practice, that's all the more reason to get cozy with your partner!
Hold it for Three Seconds
Because your photographer and videographer will have plenty of time to capture and frame the perfect shot. If you do not hold your kiss long enough, or it is a quick peck, you risk not having the shot captured perfectly, and how sad would that be?!
It might also be comforting to know that, statistically, your situation isn't wildly uncommon. “It's true that by age 19, more teens have kissed someone than haven't, but it's completely normal either way,” says Eva Lefkowitz, a Professor of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Connecticut.
Love is in the air
No need to wait for the official first date to get a little face time, however. Americans agree kids are ready for their first kiss at age 15 (15.1 on average), while on average, they had theirs at age 14.5.
It might not be incredibly passionate, but don't worry, it's still a super intimate gesture. More often than not, your first kiss with someone new is likely to be a peck — it signals attraction and romantic interest, without being too overwhelming.
You can gently touch the 'thumb lips' with your tongue to taste the skin. With more time given, you can gently slide your tongue in between the thumb lips and gradually begin exploring the confines of the 'mouth. ' Take care to introduce the tongue slowly.
LIZZY KISS
This is a similar type of kiss wherein both the partners stick out their tongues and kiss each other without the use of their lips.
A dry wedding is simply a wedding without alcohol. The couple may choose not to serve alcohol for various reasons, from religious to financial.
If you and your partner don't drink but your friends and family do (and you're not opposed to alcohol), it's nice to have a little bit of booze available, even if it's just beer and wine. If you feel strongly about not having any alcohol available at all, you can definitely skip it. But don't let guests go thirsty!
