Why the Wedding Kiss?

Part of the ceremony since Roman times when it was the only legal bond - if one of the engaged pair died before the wedding, the other could keep the gifts only if they had already kissed. 

The wedding kiss is a symbol of the newlywed's faith and love, respect and obedience to mutual benefits, it grew out of the feudal practice of kissing a lord's ring.
