    Just wondering. I'm not usually an emotional person, but I choked up saying my vows.

    Nope, I giggled like a crazy person.  So glad we didn't have videography.

    I thought I would bawl throughout the vows and I think I would have if I hadn't ditched the microphone.  I wanted to be confident with my vows so that I wouldn't get too weepy but with the microphone I ended up not wanting to be too loud so I softened my voice and that's when I started to really start to choke up.

    I did a bit, but definitely not like I thought I would.

    I totally did not think I would cry either during our vows. I'm not typically a cryer, I've cried maybe 3 times in my life due to a movie, etc.

    But during our vows I definitely got choked up and had to stop a couple times. As did everyone in our wedding party -guys included!- and my brothers!

    I don't know...I think some of it had to do with the fact that we wrote our own vows, everything my husband and I went through to get to the wedding day (not talking planning wise) and the fact that my father was not there. So there was a whole host of emotions running through me.

    I was too happy or nervous energy. I did cry 2 months before sitting at a traffic light, thinking of the moment of the lifting my veil (yes, I went old school there).

    DH, on the other hand, was bawling before and throughout. He never or rarely ever cries....I usually cry once a month or in movies.

    I was so surprised I didn't cry like a baby. I cry at everything. Especially weddings. But when it came down to it I was just SO happy. I did choke up a bit, but no tears.

     

    Thank goodness I didn't cry because I am one uggggly cryer. Pictures would have been awful. :)

    I was weepy through our entire ceremony. I tried really hard not to let any tears fall though, because I didn't want to ruin my makeup! So mostly I just had a really runny nose, which I kept trying to wipe in as ladylike a way as possible :)

    This was one thing I was very nervous about. I cry at weddings on tv and in person. But, I didn't cry! My husband had tears in his eyes after I came down the aisle and while holding hands. I thought that would make me cry, but I still didn't. Then during the vows, I thought I'd cry and I again, I held it together! I smiled throughout the entire ceremony!

    I bawled pretty much the entire time, even causing my DH to breakdown and cry a couple times!  But i'm like the pp where I cry at commercials...  and all kinds of silly things!

    I choked up while walking down the aisle.  Basically hyperventilated during the ceremony and my head or words have never been so clear as when I was saying my vows.  Then when our ceremony was over I looked at my husband and said "That's it?!?"

    I'm usually a super duper crier, but during that I was able to just let a few tears fall without having the ugly crying face, you know what mean.

    I was the same way as @theeekingeek. I cry at *everything* and was fully prepared to just ugly cry bawl through our vows. But I was so happy and excited, I didn't cry. In fact I was starting to worry that I *wasn't* crying. But just as I said, "I feel so honored to call you husband." I got a little teary. The photographer got a great series of shots of me pulling out some tissue from my cleavage. Embarassed

    I didn't cry. I shook like a leaf, though, and my groom teared up!

    I really thought I would...but then he cried, which made me giggle!  After the recessional I turned around to see my sister and brother both crying.  I panicked and said "what happened???"  They were like "um, you got married!"  haha

    i totally thought i'd be a crier. i cry at everything! i almost did while i was walking down the aisle, but then when i stood up with my husband - he looked like he was about to pass out so i had to focus on keeping him upright! haha - i think he was nervous about people all staring at him and saying/doing the right thing. i feel like i don't remember a lot of it, but people tell me i was laughing almost the whole time? no idea..

    I'm a very emotional kind of girl and both my husband and I were shocked that I didn't shed a tear during our vows and/or ring exchange.  I almost had the giggles though prior to me placing the ring on his finger.  But I kept it under control.

    I did start to cry almost at the very end of my walk down the aisle with me dad though.
