Motorised kissing


When I got married it was on a budget, so the one thing I made a point of driving home to then husband-to-be was the fact that we didn’t need a fancy car involved. “The car is the least important part of the wedding,” I told him. “It’s all about the dress, the kiss, the church and the honeymoon.”

As it was, he managed to arrange couple of vintage Rovers through a contact of his dad’s, for free, so I didn’t mind.

But what to make of two newlyweds in China who recently made the cars the main event?

On their way to their reception, as their two cars drew alongside each other, they leaned out of their respective windows and shared a passionate wedding day kiss.

"We wanted to do something different for our wedding day kiss picture," said the couple.

I would have been terrified. Not only is leaning out of a car window ill-advised at the best of times, but this couple actually did it on a motorway. All that the groom would have needed to do was lean that little bit further and it might have been window kiss to widow kiss in just a few swift seconds.

I’ve a feeling that these kinds of shenanigans, no matter how romantic wouldn’t be allowed to take place in the UK anyway, what with health and safety and all that.

And I can just hear the driver delivering the injunction, “Sorry love, my car insurance doesn’t cover acts of extreme romantic abandon.”
