"I Don't Want to Feel Embarrassed in Front of My Family! Learning from Failed Examples of 'The Vow Kiss'"

2018.01.21 published

【Ceremony】I want to have a wonderful vow kiss♡

A time to vow eternal love with my beloved partner, in front of God and all our guests＊

The highlight of the ceremony is undoubtedly the vow kiss, where the couple shares a sweet kiss, right?♡

However, since opportunities to kiss in front of others are quite rare, and because of extreme nervousness,

there seem to be quite a few brides and grooms who end up making slightly embarrassing mistakes...

Of course, once the wedding is over, those mistakes can turn into funny stories, but

it would be ideal if we could share a romantic and wonderful vow kiss that captivates all the guests, right?＊

So this time, let’s introduce some common mistakes that occur during the vow kiss＊

Let’s make sure to communicate with our partners about what to be cautious of!

Mistake Example 1＊The kiss was too short or too long

The vow kiss is ideally held for about 3 to 5 seconds while kissing＊

However, due to nerves, that time might end up being extremely short or long.

If the kiss ends up being over in an instant, there’s a possibility that the photographer won’t be able to capture good photos,

and conversely, if the kiss lasts too long, the guests watching might feel embarrassed and uncomfortable...!

When you're nervous, the counting speed tends to speed up, so remind your partner to "count slowly: one, two, three, four!"◎

Mistake Example 2＊They laughed

One common mistake is laughing right before the vow kiss, causing both of them to get the giggles and struggle to kiss...＊

The guests often find the sight of such a couple endearing and might inadvertently join in their laughter,

but unfortunately, that would erase the emotional and solemn atmosphere up to that point.

So, if you feel like laughing, handling it by smiling elegantly without showing your teeth would be good◎

Mistake Example 3＊Pouting lips

For the vow kiss, it’s best to kiss naturally and effortlessly＊

However, there are times when the bride’s lips unconsciously pout out like a fish while waiting to be kissed...!

You definitely don’t want your family and friends to see such an embarrassing sight, and you might not want to look at those photos later either.

To avoid the ‘pouting kiss,’ the groom should step one step forward to get closer to the bride!

Mistake Example 4＊He approached for a kiss head-on

For a vow kiss, it’s natural for the groom to tilt his face to the right and kiss the bride’s lips♡

However, due to nerves, there are grooms who might end up kissing head-on...!

While it may look cute like a Cupid doll, it can lead to a somewhat awkward position with their noses touching, so be sure to enforce tilting the face!◎

Mistake Example 5＊He kissed in a different spot

The last example is a hard-to-believe, true story.

Believe it or not, there are grooms who, when the moment came to kiss, kissed in a different spot than they had practiced＊

If he was supposed to kiss her cheek but ended up kissing her lips, it can bewilder the bride, causing her to wonder "Wait, why?!"

Also, sometimes the groom aims for the lips but ends up missing a bit...

Make sure the groom targets the spot both of you agreed on for the kiss♡
