Poll: What part of the wedding...

made you/or you think will make you cry? Or get emotional?I know for me it will be the moment my daddy walks me down the aisle. I'm a big daddy's girl so just the symbolism of him giving me away to my future husband will make me teary eyed.

    I think when we recite our vows and when my mom gives us a toast, mainly because i know she will be emotional about letting her baby go. Plus i am a big ball of emotions, i cry for everything.

    It'll prolly be whenever FI starts the waterworks. He cried during the proposal and I have a feeling he is going to cry when seeing me walk down the aisle or when he says his vows. When FI cries, I tend to cry.

    I held it together until the ceremony. Walking down the aisle, I couldn't even look at anyone because I was crying. When I saw DH for the 1st time, I teared up, when I said my vows, I cried... I'm an emotional person anyway, so none of this surprised me, LOL

    I think I will cry during the father/daughter dance.   I'm a big daddy's girl too and our song is a pretty sentimental song.

    I was chill the entire day - But when my dad came in my hotel room - I almost started crying! I had to hold it in....it got harder during our vows but we didn't cry... I was more emotional at the rehearsal....go figure :)

    I'm not sure.  i'm usually the one that keeps it together, never cries at funerals or weddings. Fi thinks I'm going to cry for our wedding though.  Honestly I think I will be smiling all day... the day of our wedding. But I think I might shed a tear at the small candlelit ceremony we will have at our AHR .

    It will probably be when my best friends says her "few words".  She is so emotional and when she starts, I start...

    I'm an emotional person so I may be crying the whole day! lolBut really, I think I may cry when walking down the aisle, saying vows, probably some toasts at the reception, and maybe the father daughter dance.  Well I guess that is about the whole day lolWaterproof mascara for me please

    I think I will be emotional when I see him as I walk down the aisle and when we exchange our own personal vows. This marriage is so meaningful because I feel like God had his hands in this one. Anything that is meant to be will be no matter what comes and God has shown me that. So the whole overall fact of our wedding ceremony will be so symbolic to me.

    I'm semi-emotional overall, but I think I will be fine UNTIL we start saying our vows.  It's over then.  LOL

    I'm pretty emotional and if my period finally becomes regular again (Which I'm hoping and praying it will wait another month, so I'm not on it during our honeymoon). Then, I will be even more emotional. The parts that will probably have me more emotional then anything is as I'm walking down the aisle (I'll be nervous too because I HATE being the center of attention), and once we are announced as husband and wife.

    It seems all of us AAW ladies are emotional. LOL. I will most likely cry the whole day, but I'm going to try not to. I know that I will cry walking down the aisle because I have a feeling he is going to cry. I plan on giving a toast to my BP since all of my BM's are my best friends I probably will have all of us crying for that. LOL. Plus my father's passed away a long long time ago, but him not being there will definitely cause me to shed a few tears. Oh my when will I smile lol.

    I'm emotional, but I'm trying to keep the crying to a minimum.  It's supposed to be a happy occasion, I'd hate for all my pictures to have the that scrunched up frowny face. First off, if anyone says anything to me about my aunt who died earlier this year, or my cousin who died late last year who would have sung at my wedding, I will lose it.  Otherwise I will either start crying just before dad and I walk down the aisle because I know him, he's going to say something sweet like "I love you".  Or I may start to cry when I am standing at the end of the aisle and I first lock eyes with FI.

    I was actually laughing when my Dad was walking me down the aisle because he said "Look out for the fire ants." I glanced down and I sure did step in a pile of ants...LOL. They didn't bite though or maybe I was too happy to care. I was emotional during the vows but no tears. I'm don't cry very much. In fact it's pretty rare. I cried like a baby the day after the wedding when just DH and I were sitting on the balcony of the B&B and the sun was setting. When he asked why I was crying then instead of during the ceremony I told him that my tears of joy were meant for him and only him to see.  He was moved and although he denies it I saw a little tear in his eye too. Sitting with my husband for the first time without smiling for pictures or thanking people for coming to the wedding was a moment I will carry with me always.

    My most emotional moment will be before our ceremony. I'll cry when we sign our ketubbah. I got a very close replica of my parents ketubbah  and that is very special to my mom and me b/c my daddy passed in 2000. That was one way to honor my daddy.

    FI keeps telling me he'll be crying when I walk down the aisle. If I see any tears from him I know I'll be tearin up.

    I know I will be a wreck on that day. My friend got married in July and I was crying when she was getting her makeup done. So the day of my wedding, idk what I'm going to do

    I will be a ball of emotions the entire day.  My Dad and my sister passed 6 weeks apart last year.  I'm sure my first dance with my nephew will do it.  My sister's son is my oldest nephew and he and I will do a dance together and so I know that will be a moment.

    Definatly seeing my man for the first time in his tux (we have been together 6 years and he has never worn a tux or suit before) looking just as good as he wanna look and walking down the aisle of course. I also think I'm gonna get emotional at the toasts from the BM and MOH.

    I'm not an emotional person but I know FI will tear up walking down the aisle to him . . . either that or he will grin and strike a Captain Morgan's stance. I will probably tear up a little when my brother and my son give me away.
  • edited December 2011
    Probably when I walk down the aisle and see FI for the first time.  If he sheds a tear I may be a gonner.

    I thought I would be crying the entire day. But I didn't tear up until they opened the doors. It seemed like all of the people that were in the aisle seats were the people that I hadn't seen in a while. Then again while we were saying our vows. I'm welling up just thinking about it.

    I'm pretty much like the rest of you guys! I will most likely be crying the entire day. Don't tell nobody, but it's only about 3 months to the wedding  and when I get a moment from the events of everday life, I sometimes cry. Just realizing that this is really about to happen for me makes me emotional  If I keep it together for most of the day, I think I would probably only cry when My dad walks me down the asile, during vows, and during a one of the solo's my college friend will be singing.

    Probably when I'm all alone in the room by myself and I know that my Dad will be coming for me momentarily.  Tear will be of one part emotion to be marrying the love of my life and one part fear of the unknown.  The song that reminds me of me and my FI is Luther Vandross, "Wait for Love."  So, if we do our first dance to that song, or if that song plays at any moment, I will probably cry.  Thank goodness for waterproof makeup.  I can be a big cry baby. :)
