Best of 2017: Best Kiss

No wedding would be complete without the seal of a kiss — or many kisses for that matter! As we looked back on the best of weddings in 2017, some of our favorite captured kisses came right after the pronouncement of marriage, during romantic portraits at sunset or as the night was coming to a close. So before the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve and you begin another new year with a kiss, here are the best smooches from 2017 that served as a reminder that love wins!
