Was anyone else surprised that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, the couple also known as Pimpson or Ashlete, tied the knot this weekend despite multiple denials they would do just that?
At Ashlentz's wedding, Ashlee's sister Jessica Simpson and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo were spotted "kissing and holding hands throughout the night," a source told People magazine.
"Jessica & Tony's Wedding Day PDA," People declared in a headline.
PDA stands for public displays of affection such as holding hands or kissing (in public).
A few months ago I wrote a story how comfortable people are with PDA.
Is it OK on trains, at weddings or in the movie theater?
Choosing the wrong public spot to smooch can be the kiss of death. Before you embark on a public tour of booty, know the rules of these popular makeout places.
>> The movie theater: Don't pull a Jerry Seinfeld, who was caught making out during "Schindler's List" in an episode of "Seinfeld." Be discreet. Go to the back of the movie theater, traditionally one of the hottest spots to swap spit, said Michael Christian, author of "The Art of Kissing." But beware that at least one theater company, Regal Entertainment Group, offers patrons a hand-held device to alert management about noisy PDA. The device is available in more than 100 theaters but not in the Chicago area.
>> The airport: Trying to kill time before your flight or find a steamy way to say goodbye? A lengthy PDA may not fly. Karen Pride, a spokeswoman for the city's department of aviation, said Chicago airports adhere to local public indecency laws. In Illinois, an adult caught in a sex act in a public place can face a misdemeanor charge for a first-time offense.
>> The train: What could be more romantic than indulging in some liplock on the "L"? CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski said the CTA does not have a specific policy regarding PDA, though if a customer is uncomfortable because of the actions of other passengers, the customer can approach the operator with a complaint.
How much PDA are comfortable engaging in or witnessing? Where do you fit on the squirmometer?
>> hand holding
>> hugging

There's nothing wrong with a little canoodling, however all over make out sessions should be avoided at all costs!
TRACY'S REPLY: I agree Allison. I'm toward the middle of the squirmometer.
