How to Have a Beautiful Wedding Kiss?
One of the highlight scenes during the ceremony is the bride and groom's vow kiss ♡
However, kissing in front of family, relatives, friends, and colleagues can be (we know, but still) quite embarrassing, and it would be awful if we messed it up or looked ugly.
But the vow kiss is an essential part of the wedding ceremony that cannot be avoided.
The option of not doing it simply doesn't exist*
Since you're having a wedding, you have no choice but to do it, so if you're going to, you definitely want to have a beautiful vow kiss that anyone can appreciate! Right? ♡
In this article, we will share tips for the perfect vow kiss.
Tip 1 for the Vow Kiss: Be Careful of the "Octopus Kiss"!
When performing the vow kiss, the groom should place a hand on the bride's shoulder, arm, or waist, and slowly bring his face closer.
The bride then closes her eyes, lifts her face, and waits for the groom's kiss, but...
Here's the important part!
If there's too much distance between the two, the lips won't connect, leading to a situation similar to an "octopus kiss"…!
(That state would be embarrassing, right?)
So, to ensure a natural kiss at just the right distance, the groom should take half a step forward.
This applies whether kissing the lips or the cheek*
Tip 2 for the Vow Kiss: Don't Rush in Too Eagerly!
This is something I especially want to convey to the groom: the vow kiss should be done slowly and gently.
It's not beautiful to immediately go in for a kiss as soon as the bride's veil is lifted!
Instead, gently place a hand on her shoulder, lock eyes with the bride, close your eyes, and then finally go in for the kiss. Let’s cherish this flow*
Of course, the bride should also be careful not to keep a kiss-waiting face for too long.
When nervous, it's easy to rush, but if both of you stay calm, you’ll be just fine ♩
Tip 3 for the Vow Kiss: Not Too Short, Not Too Long!
The moment for the vow kiss is exciting—not just for the bride and groom, but for the guests as well!
If the kiss ends too quickly, it might feel anticlimactic, whereas if it drags on too long, it could be awkward...!
The ideal timing is about 3 to 4 seconds♡ This duration should feel natural, and the photographer will have enough time to capture the moment beautifully*
Tip 4 for the Vow Kiss: Make Eye Contact Afterward♡
Finally, let’s talk about what to do right after the kiss*
If you immediately revert to a neutral expression after the vow kiss, it might feel a bit lonely, don’t you think...?
Both the bride and the guests would love to bask in a bit of romantic afterglow ♡
So, after the kiss and as you pull away, try to make eye contact and smile at each other.
Guests will likely think, "Oh, they're a bit shy but so cute—such a loving couple! ♡" Give it a try*
