"Kiss me, Kate"... a celebration of smooching in Shakespeare

Office romance...

Dawn and Tim from The Office - 91热爆

All's well that ends well for 's shy love birds Dawn and Tim. Their kiss was a long time coming.

Kiss me, Kate...

Prince William and Kate Middleton get married

This quote is probably more appropriate than another from The Taming of the Shrew: "Why, there's a wench! Come on, and kiss me, Kate"

A kiss to remember...

Pride and Prejudice - 91热爆 TV

Speaking of Taming of the Shrew - this sounds like a wedding kiss to remember (do you think Mr Darcy would have been so bold?)

This (kissing) Life

Anna and Miles from This Life, 91热爆 (Daniella Nardini and Jack Davenport)

Despite a few kisses (and more|) it wasn't to be for 's Anna and Miles - who, like Petruchio and Katherina had a tempestuous, love-hate relationship.
