Yeah - such an awkward pose!

What pic?

This one, Pia....nothing screams I'm in love like an awkward arm wrestling pose as your true love leans in for a kiss

Thanks Sfrank! I thought it was a new Pic. All I can say is that I've seen couples who've been married 30-40 yrs look more lovey dovey than these two. Maybe they're just private about it.

Yes, lovely watches!

The watches reminds me of the ones JPG gave shout outs to after his season finished airing.

Well..the hands do look a little awkward, but it could've just been that moment in time.  From the way their hands/fingers are interlaced, looks like they were either on the table (with Whitney's being over Chris')or on one of their legs.  The table option seems like it'd be the more comfortable.  Throughout the show he ran his fingers through the girls hair (or at least the top few) while kissing them, so maybe the picture was snapped before he got to her hair.  Or maybe she stopped him from running them threw her hair and messing it up!  

His kisses have looked slightly awkward all season, so not sure this is any more than the others during filming.  The good things is his eyes are closed this time.  

Now, I personally don't think this particular picture screams trying to hard or major issues or anything along those lines.  Its just a little awkward.  Maybe they're just awkward with PDA, although that seems opposite of how they both acted on the show.  Not that PDA is a particular sign one way or the other, or required.  I just figured by now, they'd have some type of PDA that they'd be comfortable with by now, no matter how subtle - legs/shoulders touching if side by side, hand holding, hand on leg/knee (Chris), etc. They do seem comfortable around each other though.  I'm not particular sold on the couple, nor am I wishing their demise or anything.  I hope they life a long happy life together, if that's what they both want as they transition into real life.  I think watching how they handle moving back home(s) and starting life together in Iowa/Chicago, whatever they do will be a bigger tell than interviews and pictures grabbed by strangers or even posted by them, during the DWTS phase.  JMHO...

Mulco watches. I might check them out. They look really nice!

IDK--I can't imagine relationships being gauged by the level of PDA shown.  
Many couples do not kiss in public. Anything more than a peck and I start thinking get a room already.
Hand holding, closeness, arms around each other, ok, but I would rather intense kissing be saved for private time. I'm sure I am not the only one who feels this way.
They didn't have to kiss at all out in public. If the "feeling" weren't there, they wouldn't have to kiss at all. Anything more intense than this---it's not appropriate. JMOAA

^ you're not the only one who feels that way Kasha. I feel like a vouyeur if a couple is engaged in intense PDA, and like I am inappropriately in their bedroom instead of in public where I have a right to be.


Edited to correct typo.

In general, the couples that have something to prove, put themselves out there with constant PDA. Those that want to keep their private life private after the show, blend into the DWTS apartment woodwork.  JMHO

His parents and relatives were sitting at the same table so I doubt they were gonna go at each other in front of them.    
They weren't shy about telling Jimmy Kimmel they regularly make sweet love, as much as possible.

But this is different from how they acted together when on the show and out in public. The wedding crashers date that some call the best ever had plenty of kissing, hugging and hand holding.

Again, if they were going even slightly forward from what they were on the show, great. But their BL right now seems to be a step backward from what they had on the show and sorry the mature couple/relationship stuff doesn't do it for me. They had it on wedding crashers and in Des Moines, so what happened between then. Even on his farmer they had better BL.

IMO it looks different because it is different than watching them on TV. It's a nano second of that moment, clearly a posed pic. With his family at the table.

The PDA is essentially mandatory on the show. The cameras are rolling during what in real life would be private moments. Comparing PDA on the show to real life PDA IMO is comparing apples and oranges.

Totally agree! Body language way off! Weird to see Chris put more pics of his dancing partner than his fiancé. Hmmmm just strange imo. Time will tell ;)
