Top 10 Iconic Kisses of all time

After the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup this week, a riot broke out. From that riot came an iconic photo taken by Rick Lam of Scott Jones and Alexandra Thomas. After Thomas was knocked down and was crying on the ground, her boyfriend stooped down to help and comfort her with a kiss. Rick didn’t even know he had captured the couple kissing until a co-worker congratulated him on the great photo. In the spirit of this great photo we have put together a list of the most iconic kisses of all time.
