I guess this question is mostly for the Bees who are already married and I'm sorry if it's been asked before, but I was wondering:
Did you ugly cry at your wedding?
I honestly can't even listen to a single song we're considering for our wedding without breaking into an all-out ugly cry right here on the couch. Wth am I going to look like on my wedding day!? The mere thought of walking down the aisle or dancing with my Dad makes me tear up (and I'm not even PMS-ing, I'm just lame).
I keep hearing that a lot of people were too busy and excited to ugly cry like they thought they would, how was it for you? Are you generally a cryer who didn't cry, or vice versa?
Also, I see a lot of pics of people crying during their ceremony/reception and all the pictures have been beautiful but it's always been like a graceful single tear. My ugly cry consists of my face going beet-red as though my head's about to pop off, follwed by my lips contorting into an unimaginable shape.
*sigh*
i cry at absolutely everything (even barely sappy commercials!) and i didn't cry during the ceremony at all!
Not a drop. I cried at everything - wedding songs, ordering my shoes, etc. But the day of. Not a single drop.
I don't think I'm capable of any type of crying but ugly crying. And I defintely ugly cried during the ceremony, but you can't tell in our pictures!
The ceremony was the only time I cried all day though.
@Lindsay12.31.2010: same here. I remember crying at freakin diaper commercials in the few weeks leading up to the wedding haha. I was cray cray. But at the wedding itself? No tears!!
I cried during my ceremony, especially during the hand ceremony. Thank goodness that I had a hanky ready. No ugly cry just tears flowing. I cried during our first dance and during the F/D dance.
I cry at absolutely everything and I ugly cry too. Even now when I hear our wedding song I ugly cry. But on the day of our wedding I didn't. I got a teensy bit misty when he said his vows but that was it. I was just overwhelmingly happy.
During the end of the engagement I was so emotional I cried at least once a day at basically anything and everything lol.
On my wedding day I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling or laughing. I was so happy and the stress was all over with that looking back now I couldn't imagine shedding a tear.
I cry at everything (ie. commercials) and I only almost cried during the ceremony cuz my MOH was standing behind me crying! Haha.
So much ugly crying haha. I knew it was going to happen (even though tons of people are surprised when they don't cry). You can hear sniffling throughout our entire wedding video. I'd post pics but obvi I don't keep them on hand ;-)
I didn't cry, at first - my husband did & that made me cry!
But our cries were very different. Mine was silent, slow tears rolling down my face. While, his was full out sobbing. We are talking shoulders shaking, nose running, tears choking, combined with some snorting, full out sobbing. It totally took me off gaurd and thats when my waterfalls started, along with my entire bridal party & our guests, haha! It was such an emotional moment of our vows and my husband just broke down!
I cry very, very easily and didn't cry at either of our weddings. (We had two in two different countries) I cry at weddings on tv/movies, but didn't cry at all! :)
Ugh...I hate looking at the pictures of when I first walked into the church with my dad. I have the ugly cry look all over my face. My chin gets all of these weird indents in it and I just look awful. I seriously hate looking at those pictures!!
I really thought that I was going to be a complete disaster but I wasn’t. I started tearing up as I was walking down the aisle but I held it together for the most part. It wasn’t until about half way through my vows that I started to cry but it really wasn’t all that dramatic.
I think my mother “ugly cried” enough for the both of us. When I got to her at the end of the aisle, she was sobbing uncontrollably. I’m an only child and she was a single parent for most of my life so she was VERY emotional during our ceremony.
ETA: Now that I think about it, my ugly cry did make an appearance during my MOH’s speech at our reception. She’s like an emotional brick wall so when I got up to hug her after her speech was over she told me that I was totally lame for crying. She loves me, she really does. Lol
This was as soon as the doors opened. I was watching the video of me walking in, and I was smiling when the doors opened, but right away I burst into tears!!! It gets uglier, but this is the only photo I got with the ugly cry! LOL! I think right after this my uncle (walking me down the aisle) told me to slow down because I was racing to get to the front.
I knew I was going to cry, but I didn't think it would be while walking down the aisle. It was probably a combo of seeing my husband trying not to cry, the music (canon in D) and that it was finally happening. I didn't cry the rest of the day though and stopped when I got to my husband. He handed me some tissue :)
@AnnieAAA: Equal parts adorable and hilarious.
I'm not married yet so I didn't vote, but I imagine I will at least get misty-eyed. FI on the other hand cries at a lot of things (commercials, rom coms, pretty much anything even remotely emotional) so he has already told me he is sure he will be much more of a wreck than I will be.
ETA: I get the nervous giggles sometimes instead of crying (got them at my grandpa's funeral and at my best friend's wedding while walking down the aisle) so I'm more concerned about that.
I got misty when I saw my husband and all my family during the aisle walk. but I made a quick recovery cause I was so freaking nervous and running on an adrenaline high.
But yeah, the day before or after I was crying at SPCA and sappy commericals.
@Ryansgirl: Haha, I LOVE IT! That's pretty much what my face looks like, too. I love how your uncle is happily walking next to you, hehehe.
Thank you for all the feedback and stories, everyone! You all have me cracking up over here. It's good to know that if it happens, I won't be the only one, and also that there's a chance that it won't happen! I'm a daily cryer, though, so it probably will, haha.
@AnnieAAA: By the way, this made me literally lol! So cute.
oh I am a sap when it comes to anything remotely emotional, I will be crying like a baby! On the day it was strange though, I definately teared up when my dad saw me (he cried!), and it was really,really hard not to cry during the ceremony,and again,my eyes definately welled up,especially when my DH choked up! But,looking at pictures,you really cant tell that I felt like I was about to break down sobbing with happiness!
However,although not one single tear touched either one of our cheeks during the ceremony, at about 10.30pm at the reception,my DH was reading the guest book,and I went to go sit by him to have a quiet few minutes to ourselves. DH looked at me,and told me he was so happy in this moment that he just really wanted to cry,and he just started sobbing there and then,tears literally streaming down his face. He kept saying "Im just so happy!!"
Big sopppy daftie*sniff,sniff*
@reginaphalange: If that happens, at least everyone will think that it's cute. :)
I am the ugliest cryer in the world, something i discovered thanks to my wedding photos. I did not cry at the ceremony just during the toasts and my father daugher dance. Its pretty funny to look at the photos i am an ugly crier.
Whenever I hear about ugly crying, I think of Kim Kardashian's ugly crying. Apparently, there was some ugly crying last night on the premiere. I don't have a screencap of it, but I have this awesome old one!
I'm really emotional person and surprisingly I didn't cry on out wedding day! I did tear up when I saw my dad for the first time that day but cried more before the wedding listening to songs or think of our wedding. I'm also very nervous speaking in front of people and didn't get nervous saying our vows! Quite proud of myself!
I did not cry- however, I was so nervous/choked up that I was shaking the whole time, it was awful!
@carrieknitscake: That.....is quite an ugly cry, haha.
@kc3636: I think that's what will get me the most, too, looking at my parents!
I laughed the whole time during the ceremony while bouncing. I guess I was just really excited.
I ugly cried the whole way down the aisle but then I was totally fine for the rest of the day. For some people it's just inevitable I guess!
@TheFutureMcBride: That's so cute!
@MrsMcGyro: Your ugly cry is actually kind of pretty you know! I'll have to work on mine, hahah.
I cry at weddings... I cry at weddings on TV... I was sure I was going to cry at my wedding. But DH caught my eyes and we only stared in each others' eyes the whole time and all I could do is smile, and him too.
I had a few tear when we went to bed and it was all over and I realized that I had married this wonderful man.
(I tend to live my emotions late though; I only got nervous about the wedding and realized I was getting married when I started getting dressed, that is after hair and makeup! So it should have been no surprise to me that I'd realize only late that I'm married and cry late)
It was really difficult for me to get out my vows without crying. I just barely made it. DH was calm, confident, and very happy saying his!
I didnt cry but I got teary eyed!I was smiling the whole time though cause DH was making faces at me (being silly) for getting choked up.
I still get teary eyed when I hear our wedding songs or look our pictures.
I absolutely cried during our worship songs -- it was so incredibly moving for me to FINALLY be standing there realizing the fulfillment of God's promise to me. However, I had tissues with me, and I was careful to gently wipe the tears from my eyes before they spilled out onto my cheeks. :)
@Lindsay12.31.2010: I was the total opposite to you! The wedding planning, trying on the dress, they day before, getting ready - nothing. My mum was a mess and I was not emotional at all.
However, stood outside the ceremony room, string quartet starts, flower girls start walking, and BOOM. Ugly cry face. Que sniffly nose for the entire ceremony. I could not even look at the Mr while saying my vows because I knew it would start me off again. As soon as the ceremony finished, I was cool as a cucumber! Haha!
I made it through the whole ceremony without crying. Maybe a littke teary eyed during vows though I kept it together but the moment I started dancing with my dad I lost it! And again during my sisters speech haha. I have pictures to prove it. I'm a total crier though!
I ugly face cried right as I finished reading my vows... I choked up and could barely get the words out!
NOt married yet, but the last wedding I went to. I def started crying as SOON as we stood up to have the bride come in, I'm SUCH an ugly cryer at that... oh god I don't want to see that day...
I teared up a little during our first look and again after we walked back down the aisle after our recessional. Other than that, I was totally dry all day! And I was very glad because I can't do anything but an ugly cry!
I ugly cried a few times during the day. I ugly cried while reading Mr. LK's letter to me before our first look, and I ugly cried during several toasts. But during the ceremony I just pretty cried during one of the readings and when we said our vows, and I was okay with that.
@Baby_Diva: Ah, another ugly crier whose cry was actually quite pretty! I hope my photographer can make my ugly cry look more like yours somehow, I'd be down with that!
@gogogiraffes: Me too! I can't even watch someone else walk down the aisle without crying like a wuss, I'm going to be a disaster, haha!
