Haha, would have been nice to know for ours! We went a little longer than the 4 seconds and there were a couple wolf whistles and nervous giggling afterward.
lol, we are going to try to practice, so we don't get those or the "guests might wonder if you're really attracted to each other" response.
I have seen some recent pics where you can clearly see the grooms tongue ... so gross, I think about 3/4 of the first kiss pics have visible tongue in them!
I think we did all of this except for when we were announced husband and wife we looked at the crowd. It felt natural to look at the audience as we were being announced.
these are great hints. When we kissed (I didn't realize it until I saw the pictures) I was so paranoid about our noses hitting awkwardly that I turned my head almost totally sideways. Looked so awkward!
But I went to a wedding a few weeks before ours where the bride and groom literally both had their tongues out before their mouths met. They made out for a full 25 seconds before finally separating, flushed. The rest of their guests were flushed as well...from totally embarrassment! I'll never forget how awful that was!
MollyE: It will probably be natural for us to look at the crowd too, but we are going to try not too. I love the pictures of the couples that are looking at each other while being announced.
That would just seem like forever, if you were one of the guests lattelove.
Multiple little kisses after THE kiss, hugs, giddy excitement all make for great pictures. What doesn't make for a great picture? The .1 second pec. HOLD the kiss so your photog can get a few frames off. If it's too quick it may get missed. :-)
This was really helpful, and a good reminder to practice, which we need. Definitely want to avoid any awkwardness. Thanks!
I've been told to expect a dip. I told him good luck because bending isn't something my dress really allows me to do. I just hope I don't fall over!
This is cute! Fi and I have been practicing our "church kisses." 
thanks for the advice=) good article!! aw the weddingsinger..such a great movie;)
I bet if you practice your dip goldilocks, you will do just fine.
hotchilin, that will probably be me and my fiance. I love the weddingsinger.
That is good mermaid. We have been practicing too. I still laugh though, so we are going to have to practice for awhile, but we don't mind.
You are very welcome melv802.
We didn't plan anything for the kiss but when I saw the video it was very funny. I was basically like "Come 'ere" and kind of pulled him... haha!
@ Hotchild - me too! FI and I actually have a running joke about it. We send each others magazine articles and silly pictures about first kisses, etc.
It'll probably totally backfire on us & we'll end up just laughing at each other when it comes time for us to kiss.
I haven't thought about this, but I will make sure we practice :)
It also reminds me of when I was a kid and I watched my parents' wedding video and they did a whole major-tongue makeout thing and I thought it was so gross!
Oh the wedding tongue from the wedding singer. That always pops into my mind when talking about kissing in church.
My FI is already all nervous about kissing in front of his mother!! He is generally kind of anti-PDA so it will take some work to get him comfy enough for a real kiss--even one with "church tongue". I told him if his mom wants grand-kids, then she wants us to kiss!!
Good tips! It makes me nervous to think about everyone watching us kiss...but I also don't want to make it so fast that people think we're not attracted to each other, as suggested by the article!
Um, I honestly dread the kiss so much we might not even have one. SO uncomfortable. He kissed me at midnight on NYE in front of his parents and I almost died.

This is a first kiss article that I got off the web somewhere. I have had it for quite awhile. I can't remember where I got it, but it does have some good advice.
The best thing about the ceremony.......the kiss!! How do you pull off an appropriate ceremony kiss without coming across as a total makeout session?
Here's a couple of hints:
