LMAO!!! I am definitely worried about this too! But I'm hoping that a trend I've recently noticed continues for me. I will bawl my eyes out at stuff that happens on TV, and sometimes if something very similar happens to me in real life, I don't cry. It's like I have to have the background music and multiple camera shots to make the tears flow or something, IDK.
I was a blubbering idiot for my wedding. The entire 15 minutes before the ceremony when I was standing with my dad I kept crying, then stopping, crying then stopping. Mustve happened about 3-4 times before he told me to stop because I was making him cry. I had what I thought was the ugly cry face in alot of my photos. I actually did ok once I was up there and only started with the voice quivering at the very end of my vows. No one cared and if they noticed, they thought it was sweet. Make sure your groom has some tissues for you when you reach him. Hopefully everyone else will be too busy crying to notice you crying :)
To make it infinitely worse my FI will most definitely be a blubbering idiot, what's a girl to do?? I already told my dad he can't tell me I'm beautiful or that he loves me or anything of the sort until after the ceremony. I'm taking all necessary precautions..... my big brother (who is a groomsman) has already been ordered by my mom to stuff his pockets with tissues.
I was a blubbering idiot during our ceremony. I'm not one to cry, either. But I definitely just decided that if I was ever going to be a blubbering idiot, our wedding was the time, because it showcased how we truly felt about each other. I was so bad, at one point, our officiant had to get us a tissue.
My make-up was streaked, but you couldn't tell in pictures, and my MOH blended it back in after the ceremony. It was all good! During cocktail hour, I told people I hoped they could actually understand our vows (husband was crying, too), and they all said it was touching to see real emotion.
Don't worry about it! If the flood gates open, let them!
I'm pretty sure I'll be a mess. I tend to cry at everything, including the Kardashian wedding special... and hallmark commercials, pet shelter adds, homeless people. I'm nuts. So, I'm just gonna wear waterproof mascara and put tissues in the breast pocket of every man I know. But don't worry about how it looks, I think its so sweet and just shows how much love you have for each other.
I've already accepted that I'll be a blubbering idiot during the wedding. I've just told everybody to have buckets to put under my face. :p
I am really afraid of this too. I tear up when I hear our first dance song.. and it's a song that plays all the time on the radio... I worried a lot about crying as I walk down the aisle... so we decided to do a "first look." This makes me feel SO much better, that i'm going to get to see and talk to my beloved before we take that step. I'll already know he likes my dress and we'll have connected beforehand so I'll just plain be excited.. I hope. :-)
lol I used to be so hard-hearted when I was a teenager. I rarely cried. Then in college, it's like a switch was flipped. I cry at commercials and movies, I *sobbed* through Grand Torino and Pan's Labryinth (freaked out Mr Spin lol) and SaTC, of all things, I get choked up reading PostSecret...I'm going to be a wreck on our wedding day, I know it. ^_^ I am not a pretty crier, either, so I'm just going to have a tissue or hankie or something and do my best to smile and talk through the tears.
I think we need a "Post pictures of your ugly cry!" post. ^_^ I'd post after my wedding!
I will look approximately like the dear ms. hilton:

except much splotchier
Haha, I know I will be a trainwreck too... I just hope that by the time the wedding rolls around, I will just be so desensitized to the whole thing, it won't be an issue anymore.
But yes, I definitely think a first look is key and totally plan to do this!
Um, I've pretty much accepted that it's going to happen and there's NOTHING I can do about it. We're taking pictures beforehand, that's for sure!
Hahahaha, I'm in the same boat, Mr Trail Mix pretty much says everytime that I cry (which is about 10 times a day) "if you're crying at this, what are you going to be like at our wedding?"
To which I can only reply "worse!" I've accepted it, I'm over it, the pictures will look terrible but oh well....
I always cry at weddings and I also cry when I watch them on tv! But I didn't cry at mine... I don't know why. I think there was just too much going on.... it seemed surreal.
My mom does the crying thing too, I have picked it up from her, but she had a co-worker tell her before my brother's wedding that if she takes a shot of whiskey 15 min before the wedding, she won't cry. So as much as I don't really want to do that, I cried at a Lowe's commercial the other day, so I'm highly considering it!
Edit: Mom took a shot of amaretto instead, she said it worked!
I'm worried about this, too, but the one bit of hope I'm holding onto is that although I cry at every single wedding I go to, when I was IN the wedding of my best friend I was too on edge from standing up in front of everyone to actually cry. I'm hoping the wedding day will be like that too!
Yep, like KM said, we're taking pics beforehand for this very reason!
I thought I would be since I was super emotional leading up to the wedding. I got a little choked up but definitely held together much better than I thought I would. I was also in a huge rush to get the wedding started since traffic had been terrible that day and the limo was late picking us up and we were late to the church!
Oh man, I bet I'm going to cry. I started to cry when he proposed, so I think this will be even more emotional. Gonna load up on waterproof mascara!
I'm probably going to cry, and I know FH will, too. I am more upset about the possibility of ruining my makeup than about people seeing me cry (my makeup artist has told me to "dab," not "wipe" those tears away!). I've heard that you'll have an easier time if you just go ahead and get emotional when you feel like it, rather than holding it in. Pent-up emotion seems to be the most uncontrollable!

So, I don't cry all that easily... usually. But every wedding I go to I break down. I was watching the Khloe Kardashian wedding special the other night and cried the whole time...??? I really don't want to cry when I'm walking down the aisle or saying the I Do's- for one, I am NOT an attractive crier and the pictures would be awful and two, my voice quivers when I cry so I'll sound like a moron. I'm hoping I can hold it together... but what IS it about weddings??? Ug, anyone else scared of this?
