I've been to a few weddings in the last couple of years, and I've always found myself raising an eyebrow at the "kiss the bride" segment, because the kisses were short, perfunctory, and absent of all but the most token passion.
By contrast, during my own wedding ceremony, the nuptual buss was long, deep, and enthusiastic. When it was finally finished, the minister's first words were "you may now STOP kissing the bride" (seriously, we've got it on tape).
If it was short, was it just because you were nervous, or maybe just intimidated by the throng of witnesses?
Also, do you think there's any correlation between the enthusiasm of the wedding kiss and the longevity of the ensuing marriage?

I don't know about the correlation thing, I think we did that later that evenin', but, after 17 years, I'm still kissin' her... ass.

Never had the fortune to have my own wedding... but at one of my brother's wedding, we had a fire-extinguisher hidden behind the pulpit in case the kiss went on too long. Unfortunately, we didn't need to use it.

My fiance and I practiced our 'you may kiss the bride kiss' before the wedding. We both agreed that in front of a church full of family with the minister looking on was no place for some hot tongue action. Our kiss was on the lips for... 1, 2, 3 and release!
You have the rest of your life to swap tongues with your spouse. Show some class and don't do it in church.

There was tongue involved!

I barely remember - but I think it was short and of the "let's do this quick and get the hell out of here variety". My husband and I hated our wedding. The families (on both sides) made the whole thing a nightmare. So, while I am very happy to be married to him - I just cringe whenever I look back at that day. We don't even look at the pictures if we can help it.
I figure that day has been the low point of our marriage - that means it's gotten better every year since then. *grin*

I had a very large and formal wedding. A long kiss with tongue action would have brought on some serious frowns from both sides of the family, I feel certain. But I'm not into overt public displays of affection like that in general, so it was never something that was considered. It was more of a romantic gentle, lingering kiss... not quite 1,2,3, but not passionate where I'd want to avert my eyes from the TWO priests that were conducting our ceremony.

I think our kiss was short because we were nervous, plus the minister had us holding both hands, so leaning forward over our own hands was awkward and we were both too spooked to let go for a good EMBRACE. We had to make up for it later.

We had a good kiss. Not too short but not eliciting any frowns either. I was just relieved to be married...

We just re-watched our wedding video for Valentine's Day this year (approaching our 5th anniversary in a little more than a month)... Our kiss was relatively short, but there was definitely tongue involved. I noticed it when I watched the video - it didn't occur to me at the time how obvious it would be or we might have tried to be more discreet I suppose.

Kiss? What? You are supposed to KISS after the ceremony?
I knew I forgot something....
Oh yeah, the ceremony!

That hot and heavy stuff is what the wedding NIGHT is for, I'd say.

Ogre - yeah, but it's never too early for warm-ups :-)

I think our kiss was just long enough. We're not big on PDA. I don't recall being nervous (because I slammed an airplane-size bottle of vodka/empty tummy). We got married on Halloween. I was the traditional bride, but hubby wore a real straight jacket and a plastic ball n chain. Best man was the grim reaper (because we all know marriage = death!). Most guests, as requested, came in costume. Nothing traditional about our wedding other than my gown. Even the tier cake was halloween themed!
