Best of 2021: Kiss
One of our fave categories of the Best of Series is definitely the first kiss. Why you might ask? Because nothing says "hey, we're married" more than that first lip-lock. From dramatic dip kisses to windswept smooches, here are a few swoon-worthy first kisses that will make you want to watch reruns of The Notebook.THE PASSIONATE KISSThe placement of the hands, the dramatic dip, and this seriously gorgeous couple made us think this was a scene out of a movie instead of a real wedding.

And boy, did Rachel and Oliver nail it! After this crowd-pleasing smooch, the couple went on a second-line parade, where a traditional New Orleans brass band led the bridal party and guests to the reception. At the same time, the bride and groom held traditional parasols as the guests waved handkerchiefs! So is it safe to say that the dip kiss sets the tone for a fabulous reception?Blue Sky Events | Still MusicianKISS IN THE WOODSIt's Laura and Jim's world; we're just living it.
