how long should we kiss at our wedding?

Short answer: is usually about 3–5 seconds is the sweet spot for a wedding kiss.

Long enough to feel romantic and give your photographer a great shot, but not so long that it gets awkward for guests.

What works best

2–3 seconds: Quick and elegant (great for more formal ceremonies)

3–5 seconds: Ideal balance (most common choice)

5–8 seconds: Only if you’re comfortable being a bit playful or dramatic
