Did you cry during your ceremony?

[Amys Bling]

I am so nervous that I am going to be a big time crier... all over my makeup and dress

 

[Gypsy]

I sobbed. Had no expectation that I would but I bawled.

I bawled like a baby when we did our bedeken. I didn't realize both my brothers were going to come up to do the priestly blessing and as soon as they started I just lost it. I started to get emotional during our chuppah when my Uncle was reading our ketubah as my father's name is repeated over and over in it and he is not in my life nor was he invited to my wedding, but it is still something I struggle with sometimes and hearing his name was hard, but I did manage to hold the tears back. I think I just made some weird faces instead.

I'm not a crier.

FI is a big time crier.

We shall see what happens!

Ha, ditto...he cried, I didn't. I knew he would cry, though...just not quite that much!

I didn't cry during the ceremony, but I did lose it a bit when we saw one another before the ceremony for a "first look" shoot, I am not sure what exactly made me cry but as soon as I saw him I started to tear up. I truly believe that we are soul-mates, so I think that when I saw him and was in his arms again (after a day of not seeing one another-while I got hair and makeup done and everything else) I was so relieved that it came out as crying and lots of emotion, but I luckily had the "pretty cry" going that day which is unusual for me-usually I get super puffy red eyes with any crying..but I also had waterproof mascara on I also teared up before even the first look because he had sent up a little gift for me to open, which had the most wonderful and amazing touching note I had ever read in my whole life I looked at my mom and two bridesmaids and I said "I think I need to put this (the book with the note in it) down for a bit" hehe I had to wait till after I saw him because with every new word I read my heart just swelled and with it came some tears. I guess it was just me feeling so lucky to be marrying not only someone who loved me, but someone who was my very best friend ) That note is just about the most important thing to me, if the house was burning down, apart of course from making sure my husband was out and okay, and that my ring was okay (since I usually take it off when I go to sleep) I would make sure to grab the book with the note, so very important to me! Ah love, and marriage!

My friends had bets going on when I would start crying - the over/under was "end of the aisle."

I started crying in the auxiliary room, managed to get it together walking towards the aisle, and started crying again about halfway down the aisle. Somehow I managed to stop and made it through the ceremony without tears!

DH (!!) and I both welled up during the ceremony but kept it just right there. He just kept smiling at me and holding my hand. I knew he was right on the edge of crying for a while, so on our first dance I kept it all nice and light hearted...then his mom's dance came and she dropped the "you're really happy today, aren't you?" bomb on him and alllllll of those tears poured out. Poor guy! It was very sweet, though I was wondering what the heck happened until he got back and explained. I kept it together until his sister did her toast to us, then it was my turn to lose it.

I need to write all of this stuff down before I start losing details!

 

[Amys Bling]

Yes!! I cried slightly walking down the aisle (teared up) and then cried during saying the vows... I knew I would!

 

[rosetta]

He managed to not to cry until we finished our vows. He tried really really hard not to cry but burst into tears when we hugged.

I teared up but I kept them from falling!

 

[mrsjacob]

No crying...we laughed like goofy idiots:



I DID however cry the entire next day! I mean, I was just so overcome with emotion. Everything just really HIT me the next day.

I can finally contribute to this thread

I was desperately afraid of crying and not getting through our ceremony- I'm a sympathetic cryer too so that just made me more worried! On the day though, I was nowhere near tears even though I could see people bawling from the end of my very long aisle! I seriously just smiled the entire time and so did DH. It was awesome- so much FUN.

In fairness though, we stayed together the night before and our prep/run-up went perfectly, so I was very low on the stress-o-meter (which definitely helped). We also held hands for the entire ceremony

 

[centralsquare]

I didn't, which surprised me since I cried throughout the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner speeches....really everything. But, I held it together for the ceremony.

 

[jstarfireb]

Nope. It would have been totally out of character for me, as I don't cry when I'm happy. Happy tears have happened maybe once in my life.
