    For those brides who are hitched...did you cry happy tears....were they small tears or were you a mess? For brides yet to walk down the aisle...do you think you will cry and do you think you'll be a mess? I thought I would have cried when I tried on my dress and knew it was the one...but I didnt...I def was thrilled and happy and excited and def got me in the mind set that we are getting married and I cant wait! And I cry at things I watch on tv or movies....so Im not sure! Tell me your crying stories...and what about the fiance...did he cry or do you think he will cry?

    I watched some wedding video on a photographers website and I cried huge tears! Like sobbing, streaming tears! Lol. My fiance thought I was nuts, but now he is used to me being emotional.

    I do think I'll cry ... but I might have stage fright and freeze up! WHO KNOWS! LOL.

    I think my FI and I will laugh, we hardly take things too serious, but I think when they annouce us husband and wife and do the kiss, I really think I will lose it then.

    I have no idea - I cry at sappy/cute commercials and cartoon movies, but somehow not at weddings.  Isn't that weird? But perhaps when it's my own, it will be different!

    I love crying at weddings even if I don't know the couple! It's a toss up on my actual wedding day but if I see my mom or my sisters tear up, I know the waterworks will be on!

    I'm going to be biting my lip sooo hard during our ceremony. It might mess up my photos, but I am NOT a pretty crier. I'm the sniffley, animal noise, red face, tiny-puffed-eyes kind of crier.

    Sometimes, I think about my wedding and I start to cry.

    Layer on the water proof mascara, and hand me the tissues.  I'm going to be hysterical all day.  Time to practice my "pretty cry" face!

    I thought for sure I would cry. I would tear up whenever I'd listen to the song I was going to use for my processional or the father daughter dance song. I'm one of those people that cries for sappy commercials and sometimes for no reason at all. I cry when I see someone else who's crying, whether it's someone I know, a tv character, or even just a stranger. It's contagious!

    And yet I didn't shed one single tear that day. I never felt nervous or anything, just very calm. So all of you criers out there might be surprised!

    We laughed.  A lot.  That said, there was a moment when our officiant (a dear friend) welcomed everyone and read our responses to questions she asked each of us separately prior to the wedding.  It was the only part of the ceremony we didn't know about and it was really touching.  I cried a little bit (thankfully, small happy tears and not a big messy cry). 

    I thought I might cry, so i tucked a hankie in my dress.  What I wasn't thinking was how I would get at said hanky in the moment.  Of course, that dilemma made me laugh, so it all worked out.

    Pre-wedding, I cried at anything wedding related - vows, videos, photos.  It was seriously getting ridiculous.  The stress and strong emotions leading up to a wedding can be powerful.

    I think it's a toss up. I cried when he first told me he loved me, and I cried when I first realized I wanted to marry him, but not when he proposed. I think it's because when I'm the center of attention (like I was in that restaurant during the proposal, ha), I get stressed and freeze up. If he would have proposed at home, I would have been a big blubbering mess.

    So no, I probably won't cry. But then again, who knows?

    I was a bridesmaid in a wedding recently where the bride was fine but the maid of honor was just BAWLING throughout the entire ceremony! She said she was the same way at her own wedding. Some people can't take the sweetness!

    I'm so scared I will! I get overwhelmed, I cry. I need to start reading the vows over and over so they don't seem too "new" to me.

    Well, I like to think I wasn't a mess, but there was definitely a lot of crying. We planned for 13 months, which seemed like forever, and I was very calm and collected on the day of. But as soon as we got to the venue, I started crying saying "It's finally here!" Then I cried walking down the aisle, while saying my vows, exchanging rings, basically the whole ceremony except for the prayer and reading! I didn't cross over into sobbing, thank goodness, but there are a lot of pictures where I'm making funny faces with my eyes closed!

    I know I will cry, so will my mom, but I'm hoping to bring tears of joy to my fiance's eyes.  If he cries, I imagine I'll be crying even more!

    I'm not usually a crier - but my dad can be. (The man actually cried when I won track states).  And if he loses it, I'm a goner.  I told him he has to listen to my processional song to help get him used to hearing it - so I loaded it on his iPod.

    I cried briefly when we saw each other for the first time.  Then I really fought tears when I was walking down the aisle.  People said I looked more like I was giggling!  I haven't seen a video yet, but I'm sure it looked funny :)

    I was a big sobbing baby during the entire civil ceremony a few months ago. It's all on tape, I was sniffing so loud and it's soooo embarrassing. 

    I'm sure I'll shed a few tears during the ceremony at the wedding coming up, and if we do a whole big fancy staged first look I'll tear up then I'm sure.

    I didn't cry during the ceremony.  I cried before we got to the venue.  I had a dress crisis (strapless dress that was too large).  I kept telling myself not to cry, and finally just decided that if I didn't cry and get it over with it would happen at some point later.  It lasted about 10 min then I got over it.

    During the ceremony I have this very serious face in pictures, I was trying not to giggle.

    I was so worried about this because historically, I'm a huge crier.  I've cried at funerals for people I've never met, commericals--you name it.  I was so worried that I would be a sobbing mess on the day of the wedding.  However, I didn't shed one tear!  I think I was just really happy and excited the whole time, I never actually cried.  I got a little choked up while saying my vows, but I didn't cry at all.

    Yeah, I cried.  From what I can tell from the pictures, I wasn't a terrible mess, but I was wiping tears away throughout the entire ceremony!

    Actually, my husband cried way more than I did.  He was crying when I was walking down the aisle.  When he met my parents in the aisle, he shook my dad's hand, and my dad whispered, "Pete, you have to stop crying.  You look terrible!"  Lol.  :)  And he didn't stop until the ceremony ended.  It was really sweet.

    When we were leaving for our honeymoon and I was saying goodbye to my syblings, that was the moment i lost it. I cried there, and even more on our way to the hotel... I can't think of an specific reason, i was just too excited and overwhelmed at the end, but in a good way!

    I cry at EVERY wedding I go to, tear up when I see weddings on TV (even the BRIDEZILLAS who get married at the end), soooo yeah I'm thinking I better invest in the hankie and waterproof mascara. I just hope I can keep it together and not get all snotty/sniffly, bc that's just not attractive. I actually told my FI that we can't write our own vows (even though initially we both wanted to) because I will NOT be able to get through them. I've decided that the less speaking I have to do, the better. He might cry a little bit I think. He says he probably will, and if he does I am going to probably lose it. Oh well, that's what a makeup touch-up bag is for!

    I cried when they put my tiara on my head first...then when everyone got out of the limo, I just needed a minute to myself in which I had to pull it together. When I first saw my husband, I also cried...and so did he! Hehe...

    Absolutely I will cry.  My younger brother is walking me down the aisle since our dad past away when we were young, and when he got married last year he was the one crying and I feed off his emotion...so it looks like we'll be the cry babies again.  Crying on your wedding day...did you or will you? :  wedding crying Icon Wink

    I didn't cry!  Well, not during the wedding.  I got a litte misty a couple times, and my voice was a little shaky during my vows, but I made it without bawling.  I was worried, because I am a CRIER!

    I DID cry before the recieving line, and a LOT during the reception when people were making speeches, (and my dad and I were both a mess during the father-daughter dance!), but I made it through the ceremony, so that's what mattered to me!

    I thought for sure I would cry...every other wedding I've been in, I've cried.  But I didn't!  During the walk down the aisle and our vows I got really teary eyed and my voice was shaky, but no tears.  I was so caught up in the excitement that I don't think it really hit me.  Now, the next day when we looked back and talked about how blessed we were to have such wonderful family and friends to share the day with, I cried!  And watching the video for the first time, I cried.  But not on the actual day!

    I cried a bit during our ceremony -- my aunt cried through one of our readings and totally got me started -- and during my sister/MOH's toast.  I am a crier by nature, so I thought I'd cry more, but I was just so happy all day.  Walking down the aisle, dancing with my new husband, greeting old friends and distant family -- I was all smiles.  It was FUN!
