Newlyweds have adorable reaction after priest forgets to announce their first kiss at wedding chapel

Wedding is a huge highlight of almost everyone's life. It is the day people promise forever to be their partner. Most people have an idea about how this whole shebang goes down. They have romanticized the events in their heads and want everything to be perfect. The couple in this viral video, uploaded by u/Jamiegrr on Reddit, were also on the same train. The couple wanted every step to go perfectly and therefore, when the priest missed one of the steps, they sweetly reminded him of that. Their excitement left everyone in the church in splits. Since then, it has gone viral on various platforms. 

The video begins with the couple looking longingly at the Irish priest. The wife asked her husband, "Did we do our first kiss?" It turns out that the priest forgot to call for the first kiss during the ceremony. The couple was looking forward to the step so much that they urged the priest to call it. Their eagerness to kiss filled the wedding guests with delight. The couple also began blushing after a while, realizing the impression they were making. After that, the priest also joined in the fun and said, "You don't expect an old bachelor now to remember something like that."

The audience also became lovesick teenagers and started chanting "Kiss, kiss, kiss...." The priest fulfilled all the wishes and said, "Oh well, do what you have to do then." Later, the couple got to have their moment with the groom stepping up, removing the bride's veil and kissing her. The kiss was welcomed with a huge round of applause as everything ended on a happy note. Though things might not have panned out as the couple dreamt, seeing the joy on their faces, it wouldn't be wrong to assume they are happy to start their life on this beautiful yet memorable note. 

The comments section loved the adorable moment between the couple. u/TenseTeacher appreciated the funny twist brought forth by the priest and wrote, "This is hilarious! That priest has great comedic timing." u/6e7u577 commented on the reasoning behind the priest not announcing for the kiss, "The first kiss thing is just a custom. It isn't really announced unless the priest makes a point of doing it. It is not in the actual formal rite. The idea that it is in the rites is from Hollywood films." u/N3rdy-Astronaut shared their opinion and wrote, "Only really an American thing for the priest to announce it, same with asking for objections. But still a pretty beautiful thing!"

The anticipation of the wedding is not limited just to the couples, as families are equally excited about the moment. Devan Lopes–who goes by @devanwilliamson1–shared how her mother traveled 700 miles to buy her wedding dress. The moment Lopes stepped out of her fitting, she was overwhelmed seeing her mother. Choosing a dress is undoubtedly a huge step for every bride and to have her mother's blessings on it meant a lot to her. Lopes tied the knot in September 2023.
