Dip kiss at weddings

[Spencer123]

As far as I'm concerned this "dip kiss" signifies dominance to the wife to be submissive. I hate it and so do a lot of photographers

I’m no doubt showing my age when I say that it looks incredibly uncomfortable!

The longer I am on mumsnet the more convinced I am the some people.juat sit at home thinking up new ways to be offended. If you dont like it dont do it.

Ot just looks a bit silly and show-offy to me, not especially submissive.

Well the cake in face thing is definitely a feminist issue. Horrendous.

I have never heard of a “dip kiss”. But I had exactly what I wanted at my wedding and I think everyone else is entitled to do the same?

It ain’t that deep, babe.

My husband doesn’t have the arm strength to dip kiss me.

So dont do it at your own wedding?

My husband would drop me if we tried that and then his back would 'go' trying to lift me up!!!

It’s just for wedding photos. At least it is here in the US. People don’t kiss like that day-to-day. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. Have the wedding you want, not the one social media wants you to think you want.

Please stop looking for things to be offended with .

I have never given it a second thought and now that I've taken a moment to do so I have realized that it falls under the very large umbrella of things that are not my business.

If you don't like it, don't have it at your wedding.

Have a day off, will you?

Yes. What IS it?

It's not that deep.

Each to there own. Not for me my poor back wouldn't be able to cope with that. I'd be in agony for days after.

I think it looks stupid and contrived . But that's OK because who cares what I think . If a couple want to do it , let them.

I'd be terrified my DH might drop me on my back. It's occasionally done at the end of the first dance.

My DH does it regularly to me in the kitchen, it’s an ongoing joke between us. 😂

Don’t take it so seriously, OP, it’s just a silly pose.

This is my thinking, too.

I'd have felt a total fool doing that in a small office with our two witnesses!

Each to their own though, I don't think it is as deep as you imply OP.

It’s an old fashioned silver screen styled romantic gesture, noting to do with submission or dominance. Looks cute or tacky depending on your opinion. No deeper meaning.

if you want to be a big feminist and pick apart wedding traditions start with cutting the cake, not a kiss.

I dipped my husband for a kiss when we married 11 years ago. It's a fun photo.
I hadn't read into it tbh

If I thought my photographer was judging or hated any aspect of my wedding I'd be appalled I'd hired someone so unprofessional. Of course they're entitled to their opinions, but I don't want to hear them

We tried at home once as a joke, I put my back out and dropped him, if you want awkward and performative we high fived and then bro hugged at our wedding.
