Re: CPW: did you cry at your wedding?

  • Like a damn baby.
    imageimageimageAnniversary
  • I voted "Other" because the only time I cried was during my dance with my dad.  He'd been in the hospital for a few days prior to the wedding and had to be given permission from 3 doctors to be allowed to come to the wedding.  On top of that, he and my mom put together a picture slideshow with the song "I Loved Her First" as our dance.  (I had no idea what he had planned.)  The only dry eyes in the place were my mom and dad because they'd watched it so many times so they wouldn't cry.

  • I did and so did DH, but he won't admit it now. I cried walking down the aisle, during vows, and giving my dad a hug during mass. DH cried during our vows. My dad told me really bad (lame bad, not offensive bad) jokes during our dance so he wouldn't cry!

  • I didn't bawl like I expected to, but I definitely got teary eyed and made use of my little handkerchief. 

    DH almost never cries. His mom totally bawled during their dance together, though!

  • I cried at our rehearsal when we practiced walking down the aisle with the music.  Glad I got it all out then!

  • I thought I would, particularly during the father-daughter dance or walking down the aisle since I'm really close to my dad. We were both able to hold it together during those things...my dad had the help of alcohol haha. DH got teary eyed when I came down the aisle.

  • I don't really remember. I'm pretty sure I did. I know I got a little teary-eyed when I was doing my vows, not sure if tears flowed.
    I did cry a few days earlier when we were listening to our pianist play the music for the ceremony. The damn wedding march got me.
    image
  • I teared up during our vows, but not like I expected to.  I cried during speeches, especially the one by my sister and brother.

  • I cried a little bit. Not so much during the wedding, because after our first look I was just so happy that I couldn't do anything but smile. 

    But damn, when my mom gave me my late grandma's garter that she kept from her own wedding, tears were flowing. I also teared up during my dance with my dad, because he was tearing up also.

  • I cry all the time, so this is no surprise. I cried at our first look, had a goofy-big grin on my face to fight it off walking down the aisle, and had to stop myself reading vows so I wouldn't start bawling.

    I didn't cry at all.  I thought I would and I really thought Dh would but both of us held it together.  I get migraines when I cry, pretty much instantly, so I voted for "I'm a robot and tears would rust me" because it literally hurts me too much to cry.

  • I cried like a little baby when my dad and I did a first look. H and I chose to not see each other beforehand, but my dad wanted that special moment to tell me something (we were very distant growing up and I resented him most of my life).  So when he gave me a big ole hug and told me how proud he was of me and always has been, I couldn't hold it any longer. Still to this day we both get teary eyed when watching the video of that moment and seeing the pictures.

  • Nope! At the rehearsal I started getting a little emotional and the day of when I saw my Dad in his kilt and full on Scottish formal attire I started to tear up but I made it the whole day with no crying. The pictures of me walking down the aisle I just have a big a$$ mega watt smile on my face.

My dad bawled like a baby during our dance and it made me cry. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would. But I do cry now when I think about certain moments!

  • I'm usually a crier, but I didn't at my own wedding (SIL's? Check. Friend's? Check. Mine? Nope) I think it must have been the excitement, I was too smiley to cry.

     ~ S & L 8-25-12  ~
  • I cried during our vows at our "legal wedding" which kind of ruined it for me at the "real wedding" (two weeks later) when we eloped to Ireland. Even though the vows were different, I had already done it once and so I didn't cry, in fact, I kept giving him silly looks out of the corner of my eye and was trying not to laugh at some of the stuff the priest was doing. I also threw my bouquet and shrieked when a HUGE winnie the pooh type bumble bee landed on it! Ha.

  • I voted no, but now that I think about it, I got tearied eyed a lot.  My mom kept coming around tearing up and would say don't mess up your makeup.  I would suck it back up.  I teared when my dad kissed me before I walked down the aisle.  I also teared a little bit when my sister hugged me before he walked down.  After she hugged me, she turned around and started just balling.  She was able to get it together to walk down the aisle though.  I think I might have had a tear when we said our vows, but I was so smiley through the ceremony and reception.  I was just so excited and happy.

    Everyone else's wedding; I am a extremely tearful and cry.  Every time.
