Forget those silly clinking glasses.
Grab the Mistletoe! You're getting married at the holidays, enjoy some of the ancient traditions! Why not give all your guests mistletoe balls as favors and let them raise their kissing balls when it's time for you to kiss? Then get even and raise your mistletoe and let your guests exchange smooches.
I used to think that it was so silly when folk demanded that their wedding couple kiss, and then I decided that kissing needs to be encouraged.
I think that's true at all levels.
Kissing and hugging that is GP is as important as the X-rated kissing.
Unfortunately, 'way too many of us relinquish our dedication to kissing as we become more intimate.
(how does that work?) So, here's to kissing and to having a good time with it.
And here's how you might do it at your wedding reception in such a way that you not only remind people that you married one another because you're crazy about each other, but that they got married for the same reason.
And what the heck, let's start with the wedding ceremony.
The "first kiss" should both restrained yet passionate.
It should carry all the chasteness that you bring to a new relationship, because you have been made new.
It should bring all the passion that brought you together because that's what you're building on.
It should be nothing at all, and yet it should be all most too intimate to watch (and too titillating to look away!) Trust me, you might want to practice this, even though the moment will amaze and arouse you.
It will be even sweeter if in your wedding vows you promise to kiss one another good morning every day as you rise and good night as you retire.
Move on to the reception: And I do hate those silly clinking glasses, so try the mistletoe trick.
Weddings should encourage romance between all couples not just the bridal couple.
Let new (I'm talking appropriate here) relationships start at your wedding because it was so romantic and fun.
Make kissing a daily practice.
One that doesn't lead to anything but more kisses.
Experiment with kisses.
Be delirious with kisses.
Eat fruits and drink drinks that enhance kissing.
And then come home and keep kissing.
Kissing is sometimes more personal than any other form of lovemaking because your eyes and your face and your lips are such pleasure centers.
So dedicate your marriage to the good kisses, short and long.
And be happy together! If you had seen my parents kiss good bye on the day my father died, you would know that there is no intimacy greater than kissing and you would want to part with just that much sweetness.

- Hang "kissing balls" all over the room and in out of the way corners of the room.
- Hang one over your table!
- Do a change partners dance where everyone must kiss their partner when the music stops and then move on to a new partner.
Let it be fun and silly (and let the breaks be very short!).
This gets people talking to new people and making community all around the room. - Follow that up with a slow dance, and bring the lights down.
- Have a kissing booth.
- Play parlor games.
(There's a raft of them on the web, look up Victorian Parlor Games or Victorian Kissing Games.
