Will you be practicing your first wedding day kiss?

NO I don't like the staged kisses... I have kissed FH for 9 years now so I think we have it down.

I know if we even worry about hand placement etc, I will forget when the time comes.

I never even thought of that! I think I'm with Kathryn on this one...I would forget in the moment.

I'll be honest - I'll be lucky is my FH doesn't try and be cute by licking my face for the first kiss so I don't want to push it by practicing.

ETA: grammar mistake.

No. We kissed as we would any other day.

No. We've kissed each other for a decade. I'd say that's plenty of practice.

We let our emotions do the talking and the kiss was super passionate and meaningful but still classy. I wasn't thinking about photo ops, how my hands were, or who was watching. I just kissed my dear hubby because I was happier than I could have imagined to have just become his wife.

It literally never occurred to me to practice our first kiss. You're overthinking!

We didn't practice, BUT our officiant did say to count to 3 silently in your head to make sure you give your photographer enough time, and I know I definitely thought about this while we kissed!

If nerves are getting the best of you now, they may be worse day of. I'd say do a first look to let some steam off and help you relax. That way you will see him and you won't feel so much pressure. I guarantee you won't care after that

What Margaret said. Minus the decade part. Just go with the flow.

Haha we have talked about it, actually.

I told him not to stick his tongue in my mouth because we were in church. That was it.

What? I never needed to practice kissing H. It was like a thing we did/do pretty regularly. this is ridiculous.

We practice quite frequently, and for the wedding night, too! Gotta get it right!

@Emmy: It may be ridiculous to you, but not to someone else, so you don't have to be rude about it. Just google it, there's apparently plenty of people who practice and articles written on it that have an audience.

We totally practiced for "church tongue"

I understand what most people are saying, that it's something that comes out naturally for them because they do it often. That makes perfect sense to me, but I feel awkward with showing affection in front of other people, especially if everyone is specifically waiting and watching for that moment. Thanks for suggesting the first look, JSmith2U! It's a little late to do that now, because we've planned around not doing a first look. We both really didn't want one. I'm just going to let him know not to get carried away lol.

We haven't practiced, but I did make a comment one time to not grab faces, so we can have a good picture

In the moment, you'll hopefully forget to think about anything other than the fact that you REALLY want to kiss your new husband. I promise, it'll come naturally even if you don't normally show affection around others. Don't overthink it, it'll be perfect, I promise.

Given that you're having a church ceremony, I think be mindful of hand placement and I like @annakay511's suggestion of counting to 3 to ensure a photo; but keep the kiss more on the conservative side...no tongue. Longer and more passionate in a church environment looks like a preview of coming night attractions. In this case, it's know your environment (church setting).

If you want to practice that to feel more comfortable, do it. Don't let anyone else on here shame you into thinking its ridiculous.

He's 6'7" and I'm 5'0 I stand at his belly button. We need to practice for sure. ETA other than a quick peck we never kiss standing up
