Wedding Crying at the altar. Who did it? Who thinks they will?

[canuk-gal]

HI:

I am not the leaat bit sentimental; but when I saw my DH tearing up at the alter I admit to being a little myself; but that disispated rather quickly when my DH replied "I Do" so loud that I thought the rafters would shake....followed by a laugh from the folks in the pews.....

cheers--Sharon

I didn't think I'd cry during my wedding ceremony but I did. I couldn't help it. I was so overcome with emotions and hearing my mom and other family crying/sniffing during the ceremony didn't help! But I wouldn't change a thing!

i''m a huge crier too. commercials, seeing old people, any country music song, thinking about my family, i''m a mess. i used to cry thinking about getting engaged (a good kind of cry) and i thought i would be a mess when it happened, but i didn''t cry at all! so far i haven''t cried about anything wedding related (with the exception of seeing other weddings, but that used to happen before), but i''m anticipating being a wreck up there. but who knows - if it''s anything like what happened with the proposal i won''t shed a single tear.

i think that there''s a chance i might just be a big ball of shot nerves, and will be too wound up to cry. but then again, maybe all i''ll be able to do is cry. i wish i could just be sure one way or the other!

i am at all sentimental moments, a crier. with our traditional tea ceremony, me being the first daughter, and first grand-daughter in the family, was brought to tears during the tea ceremony. each relative of mine had said something sentimental and touching as i offered tea, and ohhh it was soooo emotional, my BM had to keep passing me tissues with every cup of tea they handed me!! as for the vows part, i got emotional, but no tears....i had already cried them all out!!! but i agree, just be naturally yourself, and let the emotions guide you, than bottling them up!!!

I''m really worried about that. I would say that I am a totally not emotional person, HOWEVER, at SIL wedding, I cried like a baby. And not a pretty cry. So did my fiancé. He thinks he is going to lose it too. Which will probably embarass him.

My attitude is to go with it. Because emotion is nice at a wedding. But then....talk to me when I have mascara streaks and I MIGHT have changed my attitude.

Makes for great photos! lol

I totally thought I would be a mess during the ceremony since I am an emotional person. Like Haven, even thinking about it had made me tear up.

During the rehearsal everything felt so surreal and I couldn''t really grasp the fact I was practicing for my own wedding. I ended up giggling through the entire rehearsal. I don''t even think I was paying attention to what was going on. I was really nervous that night since I realized I didn''t know what I was supposed to do the next day haha. We did not say the actual vows during the rehearsal. Those were saved for the ceremony.

During the actualy wedding day, my dad walking me down the aisle was the most emotional part for me and I was so nervous I would have what Oprah calls the "ugly cry". When I turned the corner and saw DH, all I could do was smile. This weird calmness came over me. DH on the otherhand had tears rolling down his cheeks and shook the entire way through the ceremony. I was so shocked by his reaction that I think I somewhat forgot about mine. I was the one telling him it was ok like Monarch and her DH. There were a few moments throughout the day when talking to different family members and etc where I teared up.

I think you shouldn''t worry about what happens and I definitely don''t think you shouldn''t over practice. I know that always sets me up for disaster. I don''t think anyone really pays attention to your public speaking skills during a wedding anyway. I think it is sweet when brides and grooms cry during their vows. It means they are really thinking about the words that they are saying and saying them with feelings It''s your wedding day so you will feel so many different emotions.

I didn''t cry during the actual ceremony - I lost it when I was standing in the hall with just my dad! He had to rush out and find me some tissues before I smeared all my makeup. He kept telling me to hold it together and that just made it worse! I finally got a hold of myself only to lose it AGAIN as soon as the doors opened and I walked down the aisle. My poor MOH...she got handed my bouquet and a soggy Kleenex. After that, I was fine - luckily our ceremony was very short!
