Oh, the first kiss..such an exciting, nerve-wracking, much-anticipated moment that really sets the stage for the rest of the relationship. The movie Titanic makes a first kiss look effortless, but for some of us (me included) it requires a bit more planning. Luckily, I found these amazing spots right here in Texas that offer the perfect setting to make your first kiss a truly unforgettable experience.
- Bring your love out to the Williams Tower Waterwall in Houston, one of the best places in the city to sneak in that first kiss.

Obviously, Texas has so many beautiful places to share a first kiss with someone special, but I tried to find spots located all throughout the state. What other romantic hideaways would you add to the list?
