In this wedding, the bride and groom actually kissed twice on the balcony -- apparently, the crowd didn't think the first kiss was passionate enough. The picture is reminiscent of the balcony kiss of Charles and Diana after their 1981 wedding, which began the balcony kiss tradition now expected by the public. Thousands gathered to see the kiss in person.
