Married ladies...

wiwicaty

did you cry at your ceremony?

I cry all the time and am afraid that saying my own vows will make me so emotional I won't be able to hold back the tears... suggestions?

Thanks, love you all :-)

I thought I would because I was crying just watching Say Yes To The Dress! LOL! But nope. Instead I had a nervouse giggle

I cried right before I walked out, and was so surprised that I didn't cry during the vows.

I'm not married yet, but I'm a little worried about this too. I am not the crying type, but when my FI proposed, I cried through the whole thing, so we'll see how it goes!

I thought I would cry and was surprised when I didn't.  I did get the giggles when Rev. Adam pronounced us husband and wife.

I am sure that I will bawl my eyes out and we will seriously have to skip the vows haha!! I am very worried !!

I cry ALL the time too! Sometimes I will start crying after seeing a commercial on T.V. eek I am woried about it too.... I doubt I will get through the 20 minutes ceremony with out crying haha... I bet once I walk out the faucets will turn on as well..... :-/ good topic though... !

I cried a ton the weeks leading up and a little before the ceremony, but I didn't cry during the ceremony.  I totally thought I was going to sob through the whole thing.

Seriously, I don't know what I'm going to do... the make up is just going to melt... I reaaaaly hope I'll get the giggles.... oh, what if I get both! I'm so worried

I can cry at the drop of a hate and I was fine until DH starting tearing up saying his vows. I worked really, really hard to fight back the tears. You can see me blinking, blinking away the tears in our wedding video. After spending all that money to get my makeup done, there was no way I was going to cry and ruin it!

I'm a crier too, but I somehow held it together during the ceremony. There was a moment right before I walked down the aisle when I had like 3 mins. alone with my parents, I thanked them for everything and my dad said he no longer has to worry about me b/c that I am in good hands, I totally lost it.

I really thought I would, but I didn't. I cried lots the weeks leading up to it, had a mini breakdown by myself that morning, and another while waiting to go to the ceremony location. I think I was cried out by the time it came, lol.

Ummm...if by cry, you mean looking like a goddamn blubbery, slobbery, snotty mess, in the least attractive way possible, then yes. Yes, I did cry. It was rather unfortunate, because I look weird when I cry, and that's in a lot of my ceremony picture---I'm pretty sure our guests thought I was being sold into labor from the look on my face.

I have no such thing as a "happy cry."

I wish I had suggestions, but clearly I was of no help to myself. I say just be you---and if that's a blubbery mess...so be it!

I'm very surprised that I didn't cry instead I was very fidgety.  I cried a tonne the day before we left for Vegas and had a mini breakdown the night before our wedding.

Haha, Rach, you sound just like how I'm envisioning myself being!  I'm totally a crier and every time I think of ideas for my vows, I end up crying.  I have a hard time talking when I cry and my chin quivers so it won't be attractive.  I still want to write my own vows though because I think it add a special touch.

I cry during commercials, the national anthem, if I see someone else cry... I could seriously go on and on.

I started crying the moment I stepped into the elevator when I was on my way to the chapel, which made my whole bridal party start to cry. I cried in the bridal room waiting for the ceremony to start, but I managed to make it through the whole ceremony without any tears.

My advice is to get it out before the ceremony!  It helped me!

We teased each other beforehand that we were both going to cry, but neither of us did.  It might have helped that we did a first look, though, which got a lot of the jitters out.

I'm a bawler, too.  I cried so much during my first wedding the minister asked me afterwards if he should sign the marriage certificate!  He wanted to be sure I  really wanted to go through with it! LOL (In retrospect....!)

I'm sure I'll cry my eyes out, but hopefully I'll get it out before the ceremony as, like Rach, I'm not attractive when I cry!

I thought I would but didn't, though almost did.  I think part of the reason is that our officiant didn't make us repeat everything.  I liked that. Less talking meant less opportunity to cry. 

wiwicaty

Rach, that was so funny! LOL 

I'm not making fun of you, I just have the same problem. I'm a total mess when I cry. My face turns red, my already big nose blows up like a balloon and I get the sniffles, it's not pretty! I guess I can try to cry as much as possible before the day of...

I have just realized the importance of a carrying a hanky!

This was a good post, thanks ladies ^_^

 I am very much a cryer. I did make some weird faces trying to hold back my tears. My husband teared up saying our vows, which is when I started to lose it, but I must say I surprised myself with how well I held it together. It helped that my son was behind the best man and I could see his standing off to the side of my husband.

Started crying when I saw my husband tear up. Held it together most of the ceremony though.
