Why to Kiss-then-Sign in the Wedding Ceremony (Instead of Sign-then-Kiss!)

When we officiants preside over a legal wedding ceremony, part of the ceremony might include the "signing of the registry." (That's what it's called in my part of the world in Toronto, Ontario.) And traditionally, the signing of the registry comes after the exchange of the rings and before the pronouncement of the couple as married.

For the first many weddings I officiated, I simply followed this tradition. The couple would exchange rings, and then we would go sign the registry. Then we would come back to centre-stage and I would "now pronounce you husband and wife!" or what have you. Everyone would cheer and the atmosphere in the room would completely change to pure joy and a readiness to party.

One day I had a thought.

What if I could inject that atmosphere of pure joy and readiness-to-party into the ceremony earlier? Like, before the signing of the registry?

So I asked my next scheduled couple if we could do the pronouncement, then kiss, then the signing. They were down. And when we did it, I never looked back.

Here are 5 reasons I prefer kiss-then-sign over sign-then-kiss, and always recommend to my couples that we do it this way.
