Kiss the Bride thread from last week

Last week Lu2700 posted that her priest will not be saying you may kiss the bride. I e-mailed my cousin and asked him if he will be saying that at my wedding.
This was his response.

'I don't normally say 'you may kiss the bride'. I think it's out dated, sexist and not part of the wedding liturgy.
I usually say something like 'seal your love with a kiss'. '

I actually like 'Seal you love with a kiss' better.

So maybe that could be an option that your priest can use.

HTH anyone who was upset that their priest wont say kiss the bride

We don't have an officiant yet (we're close though!) and I think I'm going to suggest this to him.

I also find 'you may now kiss the bride' to be a lil archaic for FH and I...because I'd be the first one to be like 'wait a minute wait a minute...why does he get to kiss me? why can't I kiss him?!'
