"Not porno tongue, church tongue"

There's a scene in The Wedding Singer where Drew Barrymore's character and her best friend are talking about what kind of kiss she should do after her husband and she are pronounced officially married.

She wants to do a chaste kiss, while her friend scoffs and says, "What do you want? Thin, tight lips and then it's over? ... There's got to be a little tongue."

Drew concedes with, "Okay, a little tongue. Not porno tongue! Church tongue."

She then practices her sincere, soft, "church tongue" kiss on Adam Sandler.

About three years ago, when I was planning my own wedding, I begged Dan to practice our own "church tongue" first kiss as man and wife ahead of time. Our conversation went something like this:

Me: "(Wheedling) Please, hon! There are going to be so many pictures of our first kiss, and I want it to come out great. Also, I want you to be yourself and not just give me a quick peck because all your frat buddies are watching and you don't want to get too emotional. I know you want that to be spontaneous, but you know me! I'm just not that spontaneous a gal. Let's just try one practice round. Just think of Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer! You like Adam Sandler! Just one practice. C'mon, babe! Make out with me!"

Dan: "No."

I never could get Dan to practice the kiss beforehand, but now I'm so grateful that he denied my inner-crazy-wedding-planner.

When we finally did hear, "I now pronounce you man and wife," I leaned in slowly for a perfect, sweet, movie star kiss.

Dan, however, promptly grabbed me in a rib-crushing bear hug, smooched me passionately on my lips... and then kept giving me fat, wet kisses all over my cheeks and forehead while I couldn't stop laughing and soaking them in.

We look at our wedding album every June 24th. Our first kiss picture is my absolute favorite:
