I still have a few things that I need to workout.
They don't want to do the clinking glasses thing but would do an alternative means of getting them to kiss. I've heard of people needing to sing a love song in order to get the B&G to kiss. I don't love this idea as it puts people on the spot and takes too long. Has anyone else seen something different?
I also need to come up with a table game to determine the order tables will be served dinner. I've seen B&G trivia but I don't want it to be too time consuming as my main goal is to keep the night moving.
Thoughts CP?

Like no clanging of glasses idea or just ideas in general?
I've gone to one wedding where the MC warned everyone not to do it so as not to break anything ended up in a chorus of people screaming "Ding ding ding". Buy one of those front desk bell things and allow people to ding it for kisses if they... donate something something? (Drink ticket to someone, or donation to foundation bride and groom likes... I dunno)
But if not that, it's going to be games of some sort. Whether it's trivia or a survival game or an action for 20-30 second kiss is up to you. Usually if it's trivia about bride and groom, each successful answer is a 5 second kiss ish. The planning for this would be tight though and your concerns about length and putting people on the spot is unchanged.
I've also seen the bridal party in games for which bridal party success vs bride and groom means kissing (ie: Scavenger hunts, trivia, fan votes after a dance off, singing, physical endurance, rock paper scissors etc.) Depends how crazy you want to go. Went to one where if groomsmen lost a game, had to kiss another groomsmen instead of bride and groom kissing. Needless to say, it was a low kiss wedding.
Table games... umm... no. I wouldn't suggest it. Takes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much time. If it's ok to be random, then do a box with random balls between 1-87. Highest number goes, lowest numbers last. Takes less time and less chaos tallying results.
