First kiss

We're doing a dip and kiss...which will look awesome with him in his dress blues. We just need to practice.

Agree, long enough for pics not messy!!

Definitely not doing messy lol I can't but yes long enough for a picture sounds nice I just hope it's not awkward or anything

Omg I didn't think about this...He loves to grab me and lay a big long kiss on me. I'm not sure what that will look like the day of our wedding. He loves to kiss, we are going to have to talk about this one.

If you aren't that big on the kiss you don't have to do it. you can save your first kiss as a more private moment after the ceremony during pictures so the photography can still get a shot of it.

I've been to a few religious weddings that have skipped the kiss in front of everyone.

In the pre marital counseling the pastor has asked the couple if they wanted it or not. And truth be told not many people noticed they skipped it

I'm worried about this as well. My FH is big on deep, intense kisses. Lol. When I talked to him last night about keeping it to 3-5 seconds, cause that's about how long it takes for people to start to get uncomfortable, he said "good, then we'll kiss for 10". Now I'm really nervous!!

I hadn't even thought about "practicing". Hmm.. that sounds like fun! Practice makes perfect!!

Laura- I disagree. Everyone expects the "You may now kiss your bride" line, or something similar. It's definitely noticeable if a kiss is skipped. I mean honestly. You're getting married. People are going to know you kiss and have sex. There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

OP- Just don't make out and keep it long enough for the photographer to get a picture.

On the contrary, it should not be assumed that if you're getting married your already having sex. I understand this day and age and the slackness it's treated with but it should not be assumed. I am a virgin. Some choose to even save their first kiss for the wedding. I have not but don't assume somone is kissing/having sex just because of the times.

To the question, if your bashful about PDA, I'd say try to focus on your FH during that moment and don't let the crowd mess with your alls special moment. A private kiss will be noticed but I don't believe that is a bad thing. I'm very traditional so we will kiss at the altar but not kissing at the altar has its own version of sweetness.

I think she meant that everyone assumes you're going to have sex. Since, you know, you're married now.

Lol Faith meant that once you're married people will know that you have sex. At your wedding most people can assume that you're having sex in the next 48 hours, so what's the big deal with a kiss?

Don't plan it. My husband and I aren't big on PDA either and when he said kiss the bride it was amazing. We Didn't See Anyone Else Except each other. Linger a bit for pictures too. It's your first kiss as husband and wife. It will be great!

Thank you all for the advice I appreciate it !!! I'll skip practice though and just concentrate on him at that moment and take it from there

Church tongue. lol jk

I feel like this is something that you dont need to practice.. If you both dont like PDA.. you're not going to all of a sudden feel the urge to make out up there.

Planning a kiss would have never crossed my mind. Don't you want to, I dont knowwww... Be in the moment?! You will literally be JUST MARRIED! I would rather be fully present in that moment rather than trying to remember what we practiced.

Don't over think this.

@kristy opening line made me laugh pretty hard!

FH want's a messy sloppy kiss and I don't because I don't want to ruin my makeup... we will just go with he flow! lol

Practice?

but wai- unless you're practicing the dip.

then practice that.

I expect him to kiss me on the forehead first- b/c that's how we normally share intimate moments.

Yea not practicing that just sounds wrong @ Kathryn I love that movie lol

Growing up in Haitian's families, our parents think it's weird to kiss (husband and wife) in their presence except for the wedding, we are FREE to do it in from of them without being judged. Thus, we plan on doing a long kiss.

By the way when watching movie with my mom and 2 people are kissing she feels some type of way because I'm looking lol even though I'm engaged and a Nursing student.
