Kissing During "First Look"

We arent doing a first look, i want that look of surprise when he sees me at the end of the aisle. But we are doing a first touch, around a door. I think your first kiss on that day should be at the ceremony.

I think my instinct would be to kiss him. lol

I don't think it will bother me...the first look kiss will be the last as being engaged and the next will be as a married couple.

See, @diane, I want the "last single girl kiss" after the rehearsal dinner when we go to our separate places for the night! AGH! lol

We are doing a first look and it never occurred to me NOT to kiss him. I plan on kissing him during the first look and then again at the ceremony (obviously). I have no plans in saving any special kisses.

If your doing any photos before the ceremony togethee moat likely your photographer will ask that you two kiss to get some cute kissing shots so good luck on not kissing till the ceremony. We kissed before and i still felt like the kiss during the ceremony was extremely special.

We will not have have a first. We want to see each other for the first time at the aisl. I just think everything done as the "last single girl" should be done the day before.

We are doing a first look, I am really excited to have our reactions be personal to us and not in front of everyone. We are definitely kissing during the picture taking. We are taking pictures beforehand to get them out of the way, I can't imagine saving all of the "kissing" pictures for after the ceremony. I also feel like if we said we weren't going to we'd probably end up doing it by accident just out of habit.

Yea, if you dont kiss him during that, it would be weird. Sounds more like you dont want to do a first look. You cant half-way do it. The first look is a special moment, and you will want to kiss him. I would say, get over the idea of the last kiss after the rehearsal. I mean if you are planning on doing a first look then that rule just doesnt make sense- you will be seeing each other before the wedding.

Another thought, if you are concerned about losing that moment, consider doing the "first touch" sort of shots where you stand on other sides of a wall or something and get some cool shots that way.

We're doing a first look and I feel like I wouldn't be able to control myself to NOT kiss him. I wasn't planning on not kissing him or saving any "special" kisses.

Oh go ahead.

We did a first look and of course our photographer asked us to kiss for a few photos... I just told her that I'd rather not, and she was very respectful. I wanted our first kiss of the day to be as husband and wife :-)

ETA: however, we didn't get any kissing photos after the ceremony, it just wasn't on our minds at that point. Luckily we have the "you may kiss the bride" photo. I do wish we would have gotten some kissing photos, but I wouldn't say I regret not kissing during first look.

Thanks for all your comments! I will definitely be doing a first look no question about it. I'm going to try to not kiss, but if we do I guess that's OK too. I don't , however, think it's doing it halfway to do the first look without kissing.

We'll probably kiss during the first look but then again I think the walk down the aisle will be special no matter what. I don't get the whole not seeing each other etc. It's fine for others but I honestly think it's a little silly.

We see about 1/3 of our weddings do The First Look. Here are 5 short video clips on link below If you do it my recommendation is to pre plan the spot and if you will exchange a letter, gift or just enjoy looking and talking with each other. Note you will notice the first couple in the video did not kiss but brought foreheads together!!
