Gerald said that moment taught him that not all wedding traditions are the same. He advised intending couples to enquire beforehand about the traditions of the church they intend to wed at in order to manage their expectations. Gerald's post on Facebook read:

"The One Thing I Missed at My Wedding that still surprises me.

"So, here’s the thing, my wedding day was amazing, but there’s one part I didn’t get to experience, and it still stings a little: “You may kiss the bride.”

"Yup, I was ready. Mentally, emotionally, and well, let’s just say I had practiced. But at Salvation Ministries, where we tied the knot, that part isn’t included in their tradition. And while I respect the church’s pattern, I couldn’t help feeling like something was missing.

"This taught me a big lesson: not all wedding traditions are the same.

"What you see in movies or at your friend’s wedding might not happen at yours, depending on where you choose to wed.
