I recently attended a colleagues wedding dinner and was reminded again of the wedding service. I realise that at every wedding (in one particular wedding, the minister ALMOST forgot!) that I have attended, the groom is asked to kiss his bride with words something like "You may now kiss your bride.""
What is the significance of kissing your bride at the end of the ceremony? I found this interesting article about the matter.
It is not JUST the kiss that matters, but the KISS while HOLDING HANDS and in the presence of WITNESSES that is important. It is to signify to the rest of the people present of the marriage and union of the two individuals.
It is also suggested that as the couple kisses, they exchange their breaths. This signifies the spiritual union of the two (the Greek word for spirit and breath are the exact same word).
So, this is significant and so I propose that kissing is sacred and should only be between a maried couple.
