    Do you foresee yourself crying on your way down the aisle?

     

    I've ALWAYS been an over emotional crybaby. But after the roller coaster year my fiance and I have had, I think walking down that aisle to marry him finally will really set off the waterworks. I'm hoping I can pull it together for my vows lol.

    I'm a cryer but somehow I really do think I will be too happy (and too nervous having all of those eyes on me) to start the waterworks as I come down the aisle. As for the vows...well, I may lose it. My cry face is not pretty, either. I had a friend who got married a few months ago.  As she walked down the aisle she was beaming and had a lone, elegant tear roll down her cheek, no redness or anything. Afterwards I was like, "how did you do that??"

    i'm pretty sure i will, but i'm hoping it'd be a "moderate" on because i don't want to ruin my makeup. i'm foreseeing my dad, my mom, my sister crying too! and i'm hoping my FI would cry too, LOL!

    If my dad tears up while I'm walking Ill cry.

    But I think I'll probably save the tears for our second reading, from The Velveteen Rabbit. I have a hard time reading it even just sitting at my desk without tearing up.

    I'm a cryer too but I don't think I'll cry down the aisle. I think it'll be somwhere around the exchanging of rings/vows or maybe something the pastor says.. maybe at the very end? lol anyway, yeah somewhere while i'm standing up there, i'm guessing.

    I was told as a bridesmaid last year that if you think you will cry then look up and to the right. Has something to do with releasing pressure from tear ducts.. Not sure how scientific it is but it at least helped us get distracted from tearing up :-) 

    Im hardly ever cry but i know my emotions will be all over the place so who knows what will happen! Im keeping this little trick in mind though.

    i'm a cryer and already know i'll be crying. FI never cries but today we were watching same day edits from our cinematographer and we both actually teared up at the bride and grooms first look, and we still have almost a year soo...i'm pretty sure we will both be crying. But, i hope mine is under control, i don't want to ruin my make up either lol

    I'm not a crier, but I wouldn't be surprised either way. I cried when he proposed so who knows. If I do cry, I hope that it won't be an ugly cry and I will still be able to talk.

    Tearing up, probably. Ditto for the rest of the ceremony.

    I was beaming - GRINNING - almost way too much.  And my husband wasn't turning around - I couldn't figure out why (later found out his best man said he had to wait til I was halfway up the aisle - what???)  but I just smiled my way up the aisle.  Until he turned around.  THEN I started to cry.  Full on ugly cry face.  But it was temporary - once I had my hands on him I was back to stupid grinning face.  :0)

    Thought I would, but didn't, I was so happy to see him.  Ended up giving my tissues to him, so he could wipe his face.  It was 90+ degrees inside the church!

    I didn't cry once during the ceremony or reception and I'm a HUGE crier. I just grinned the entire time. I was "sure" that I would cry, but I didn't!! My hubby's eyes welled up during the ceremony and mine didn't. Never in a million years would I have predicted that!!

    I will be sure to cry.  I cry at all the other weddings I go to!  Plus I'll be walking down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon in D (I know, so cliche, but I love it) and the song alone makes me emotional.  Oh, and it will be very meaningful for my dad to walk me down the aisle so I'll be crying because of that too!  I hope I'm not too much of a mess!! :S

    I'm scared to walk down the aisle in general--too many eyes on me.  Hoping I won't cry but I am a crier, so its definitely maybe.

    I know I'll cry during the ceremony but I have no doubts that I can make it down the aisle without waterworks.  Now the vows ....

    I didn't technically shed a tear.  But I was a quivering mess.  My husband (whoa) cried when he saw me and it almost set me off.  I had tears in my eyes and my voice was shaky, but, I made it through the vows.

    I didn't cry all the way down it, but I def. had a little breakdown when I came around the corner and first saw him standing down there waiting for me.  Here is a pic of that UGLY cryface in action HAHAHAHA  So funny because before the wedding, I was always thinking "will he cry when he sees me?" and i never even thought about whether I would cry when I saw him!So, who's crying down the aisle? :  wedding Wedding Cry!!

    I think I am more likely to tear up during the vows than walking down the aisle.

    But who knows?  I always thought I would cry during the proposal and ended up giggling like a maniac instead.

    No doubt in my mind I will.   My uncle is walking me since my father passed away when I was 12 and my grandfather passed away last year.  It's gonna be a tear jerker for the whole family.  Plus, I'm nearly certain my FI will cry, which does it to me every time.

    Ugh, I seriously hope not. I hate crying. Like...REALLY hate crying. Everytime I do it I get disappointed in myself. Growing up my mom told me it is a sign of weakness. I know now that isn't true, but I can't help feeling like I failed whenever I cry.

    Luckily, I don't cry often. I can't even remember the last time I did.

    I cry at weddings where I don't really even know the people getting married. I've cried while watching wedding shows on TLC! I didn't cry when he proposed which threw me off but then I did cry when I found my dress. So I voted I might, but who knows really!!

    I literally cry at every wedding too, infact I would cry in my car just thinking of walking down the aisle, but when the time came, I didn't.  I was more excited than anything else!  I could just see him smiling at the end of the aisle and that just made me happy and excited!

    I'm a total crybaby, but I can't see myself crying down the aisle.  I think I'll be too happy and excited and kind of stunned for that.  I do, however, think I'll be a goner during my vows, his vows, and pretty much every toast being made (ESP my dad's... hoo-boy, I don't stand a chance against that one).

    My wonderful husband cried while I was walking down the aisle, like actual tears running down his face which made me tear up! We both gathered ourselves by the time i got to him though and were fine for the rest of the ceremony. It was all captured in our video trailer which I will eventually share with the hive :)

    I know I am going to cry... but in a happy, excited, can't believe this is happening way. Like other bees said, I cry at weddings where I barely even know the bride and groom! I'm not really an emotional person, but weddings always get to me. But maybe I will be one of those who cried at other weddings but not their own.....

    @serasvictoria: I grew up feeling the same way. My FH was so surprised when I cried right after he proposed because he hardly ever see me cry. But I have been tearing  up when I think about the wedding, then again I didn't cry when I found my dress. lol

    I thought I would cry but I didn't! I just felt so happy and calm. It was DH who was teary when I got up to him, and for most of the ceremony too. I teared up when I gave my speech at the reception and was thanking my gorgeous girlfriends who had helped me plan the wedding (since well before we were engaged, which is what real friends do!) They were like "wow you must really like us" :) Apart from that, no tears!

    I didn't cry.  It really helped that we had a first look.  Also, no one around me was crying until after the ceremony which helped.

    I highly doubt I'll cry.

    I forsee myself walking down the isle noticing every little detail in the decor that I've been pain stakenly working on for months.  I'll get up to the altar, look at the minister, tell him that a bow fell off a moss ball pomander and we need to take ten so I can go glue it back on...

    I definitely felt it starting to build up when I was walking down the aisle, but I kept it together. I was most afraid that I would be crying during the vows which I didn't want to do because I didn't want him to barely be able to understand me lol I cried before the ceremony first when I saw my aunt because she was crying,then when I saw my dad because he looked like he could lose it, then when I saw my grandma because she was crying. Soo yeah family members definitely had an effect there lol
