I'm thinking that showing the kiss was not really planned. They did seem to cut away awkwardly. However, like you said , it was a slurpy smacker and was a bit embarassing IMHO. I'm thinking they just thought maybe it should have been more private and cut away to something else as filler. I was assuming, due to the "passionate" look of it, that the woman was his wife. If not, then the awkwardness may have been stroke related.
