Weddingbee boards

that's what we did. it's pretty natural, esp if your guests all know to say Mazel Tov after the glass is broken (we had an Jewish-interfaith ceremony so half the guests were instructed by the Rabbi right before the glass breaking as to what to do). When the crowd starts shouting and the recessional starts playing, it's only natural to want to embrace and kiss!

Ditto mrsbear... I hadn't really thought about it or planned for it beforehand, but it happened naturally with the flow of things right after the glass breaking and as everyone started cheering.  Good luck!

Traditionally, there is no kiss -- it's not tzniut.  Liberal streams of Judaism have naturally incorporated more modern culture and I'd say this has been absorbed as an American wedding custom in general but it's not a Jewish one, so it makes sense that there's not a place for it (the words anyway :)).  I have been to plenty of Jewish weddings where the couple did kiss and it absolutely feels natural and normal at the end of the ceremony even if the rabbi doesn't say anything.

My FI and I are Conservative but we are not kissing after the glass is broken.  There's plenty of time in yichud for that! :)

jul--are you asking if there's plenty of time in yichud for kissing?  Yes, of course.  The amount of time people take for it varies though -- we are doing 20 minutes I guess.  I've heard of people being in yichud for much longer but I think it would be boring.

Have you considered doing photos before the wedding?  We are doing that because we want to get the reception/dinner going once we're married.  I know many people like to not see each other before the ceremony (or at least before the ketubah signing) so I understand that too.
