First Kiss? How did it go?

It was super natural and easy. We laughed a little as we had our first kiss becuase it was just amazing to be married. You will be so in the moment after your vows that all you will want to do is seal the deal with a kiss, so to speak. No need to practice, just go with what feels natural.

I was worried about how this would go as well. But honestly it came very natural and by that time in the ceremony I forgot we weren't the only two people there. We did not practice nor discuss which kiss or how but It wasn't awkward at all for us.

I am nervous about this too! FH and I do not really engage in PDA also, so it will be weird for us to kiss in front of everyone. So it will be nice to hear what people's experience was during their first kiss!

When I think about the first kiss and being nervous about kissing in front of everyone, I try to relax myself and think how everyone knows there will be a kiss! So I guess it isn't that bad.

Sometimes I have seen couples who planned to kiss, just hold and hug each other. Still got OOHS and AHS of appreciation from the pews. Lots of people are nit into PDA with a crowd. Do what makes you happy, it is merely symbolic of joining together with love and affection.

I’m also nervous about this but for different reasons. My fiancé is very affectionate and is looking forward to this kiss very much. I’m nervous about how rated R/PG this kiss will be hahaha.

I think even if you laugh and kiss or miss that’s stayong true to yourself...everyone is there to support YOUR love so keep true to yourself and do what makes you comfortable.

I'm a bit worried about this also. Not for the same reasons as you but because my FH likes to do what he calls "fish kisses" where he puckers his lips really big and tries to suck my lips into his mouth. He does this to be funny and has told me to watch out that he might do it for our first kiss. Normally when I can tell he's going to kiss like that, I avoid kissing him which would look really bad if for our first kiss he goes in for a fish kiss and I deny him. I've told him he better not but my FH likes to cause trouble so there's really no way of knowing until the moment. I find it funny, but it will just look weird to the audience if I refuse to kiss him.

The other thing I've heard is to plan on holding the kiss for a couple seconds to make sure the photographer has a chance to get a couple quick shots.

Has anyone here seen the Wedding Singer? Somewhere in the movie the discuss how to kiss at wedding and the word they use is "church tongue" -- Basically a slightly open mouth kiss more than a peck, but less than a full on make out session... This is what I like to think of when I think of when I go in for the kiss! -- Haha but knowing me before the kiss I might say something (like talking to myself like "church tongue" or "don't miss") and it will be hilarious! I think really the point is to just enjoy the moment!

We were a little nervous for this too, and practiced a bit (not kidding). We show mild PDA in public - a quick peck on the lips when we do a toast, for example - so that wasn't as much as an issue. It still made us nervous to think about kissing in front of so many people though.

We kept it very PG - just a kiss on the lips - but held it longer than normal to make sure our photographer had time to catch it.

To me, it was important to be on the same page as far as what we were expecting. Maybe that would take some of the romance/excitement out of it for some, but it worked for us.

We just talked about this ..while I feel a quick kiss will do fh wants a more romantic kiss....I guess we will see what happens...and by that I mean it will be my way...lol jk

I am the most awkward person in the world especially when I'm nervous. At our rehearsal my mom decided to quote the "church tongue" part of the movie the Wedding Singer, which is my favorite movie. Our officiant thought it was so funny and said he's going to use that line! On our wedding day when it was time for the kiss, our officiant whispered (but loud enough for people to hear) "church tongue only" so I laughed a bit and it made the kiss less-stressful and awkward and more happy and loving! Maybe there's a funny distraction that you guys can use so you don't overthink and it's more relaxed and happy?

We did not practice but I did ask him to not surprise me by lifting me or dipping me, that can look awkward if the bride is surprised, in my opinion.

We just did a chaste kiss to seal the deal. My two sons were standing next to me so no need to go over a PG rating, lol.

Such great advice from you all! Thank you! I am def overthinking this whole thing

I’m a little nervous because the first time I went to kiss FH, I headbutted him in the nose! But we’ve had lots of practice since then, so it should be fine hopefully 😂

HAHA! I have done that but I am the one that kisses half the mouth half the cheek because I am awkward. I am hoping that emotion takes over and I get it right

This was actually one of the more memorable parts of the ceremony. We didn't talk about it beforehand and DH thought from watching movies that it should be a deep, full French kiss so that's what he did. I actually had this look of surprise on my face when we pulled away and the pastor exclaimed, "Well, they're excited!" We had people cheering and clapping unintentionally, but it was sweet. I still tease him to this day that he slipped me the tongue!

I totally forgot to kiss my husband! We jumped the broom then were doing a second line so I was ready to grab my umbrella and go. There was no "you may now kiss" prompting, but we'd rehearsed it. The officiant gently reminded us to kiss. So don't do what I did, and stay in the moment. It was a pretty tame kiss, though.

That is so sweet! My FH is 6'4" and I'm 5'2". So he has to bend a lot!! I'll be in heels, which I don't normally wear. I don't like being the center of attention. So that being said, I'm going to be standing in heels with shaking legs attempting to do a tip toe stance to help him bend to me and kiss him in front of everyone. If I know him, he will not settle for a peck. So I'm going to be blushing to high heaven!!! One more thing to be nervous about!!! Lol

Good luck everyone lol

Thinking about this just made me anxious
