I'm going to cry.

No, seriously. I'm sitting at my desk listening to options for wedding music and I'm about to ugly cry right now. Y'all, I am not spending money on a professional MUA just for me to burst into tears and turn my face all red before the processional even starts.

So...do you ladies have any tips on how to not cry?

Re: I'm going to cry.

  • I'm going with water-proof mascara + setting spray, & I'm just gonna let the tears flow, man.

  • I cried every time I heard our wedding music or read through our ceremony before the wedding. But on the actual day I was so incredibly happy and relaxed that the tears never started. Maybe it won't be as bad as you expect? I know I have seen some other people say they had the same experience as I did with the tears, so there is hope.
  • Make sure your MUA uses setting spray (mine called it clown spray). Not sure what it's actually called.

  • I hear you! FI was editing our processional music on the computer the other day and I was having a hard time keeping it together.

    Everything water proof, setting spray and DAB the tears, dont wipe!

  • I cried every time I heard the song that my Dad and I were going to dance to. Like full blown ,ugly cry by myself in the car. At my wedding I ended up only tearing up a little bit but, just in case my MUA had a setting spray and water proof mascara.

  • I cry at TV commercials girl.

    But I didn't even cry at my wedding! DH cried even and I hugged him and I held strong!
  • Push your tongue against the roof of your mouth/back of your top teeth - I get weepy and moved very easily and this works a good 85% of the time for me, hehe!

  • I teared up every time hearing hte music or thinking about our vows. During the wedding I teared up and cried a little bit during the vows, but not enough to make my makeup run.

    I suggest waterproof mascara and a setting spray.

    This. I was in such a delirious fog that I honestly didn't cry a bit, even saying my vows. I barely even heard our songs. 

    I cry looking at this NOW... but not then.

  • I have no tips on how not to cry. I cried walking down the aisle. I cried during the ceremony. I cried during the toasts. I just went with it. My photographer totally got pictures of me doing the ugly cry, and it's OK. I had waterproof makeup so nothing was ruined. 
  • Waterproof mascara + makeup fixer spray = I was good to go, even when I cried and got rained on.

  • Haha, FI and both cried when listening to our processional song.  We both are gonna be a mess, and that's just fine.

  • For weddings of close friends/ family etc I have found that crying during the rehearsal, like just letting the tears flow has helped me not cry the next day during the actual wedding. My mom cries every time tell her some new detail- who she is walking with, what our songs will be, etc. My FI, my parents, my FIL- we are all HUGE criers. I am hoping we just "precry" ourselves out so that the day of, we are all smiles and no tears! If my Dad and my FI lose it, I know I will end up walking down the aisle crying ugly tears. Ha!
  • I thought for sure I'd be bawling. We read through our ceremony and vows the night before the wedding as our own run through and we both ended up losing it. But day of I didn't cry! It was weird for me. I was just too overwhelmed and happy.

    Waterproof make up was what I asked for just in case.

  • I cried a little walking down the aisle.  Balled my eyes out during my dance with my dad (he was crying too).  My make-up was fine.  Just go with it and enjoy the day.

  • I cried every time I heard songs that we were using for the wedding.

    What I did was the few weeks before the wedding I listened to all of the music on my way to and from work.  I feel like it helped get all of the crying out of my system.

    And yes to the bolded.  Once I saw H at the alter I was extremely calm and wanted to run down to isle to him.

  • My goal is to get my tears out before. We're not having a sad "Sappy" processional song {it's ac/dc ... let's be honest haha}

    I think I'm gonna cry beforehand out of being "omg this is happening!" and a few other reasons.

    Setting spray {prime time or urban decay are ideal in my books}, waterproof mascara {MAYBE - do a pre-run with it first! waterproof mascara doesn't always work actually} and have someone near by with tissues!
