Uhhh...I'm not thinking that you're missing anything. I just think everyone is different. They also say you cry when you get engaged, cry when you have a baby, etc. I thought for sure I would cry when I got engaged, and didn't. I sort of felt bad because I didn't, but acutally it's alright. Everyone is just different. Sounds like you LOVE your dress and that's all the matters. Doesn't sound like you have any second thoughts or anything, so I think you're good!
Totally agree the first time I was engaged I didn't cry when I found my dress I just loced the way I felt in it and when my son was born there were no tears either I was scared that this perfect little human depended on me and I fell in love with him but no tears.
No worries!! It sounds like you really love your dress and that you are confident about your choice. Enjoy it! I didn't cry when I found mine and I was very happy and excited.
When I tried on my very first dress I bawled my eyes out. I had no idea where the tears were coming from. I loved that dress, as did the people I had with me dress shopping. But I LOVED another dress more and despite the fact that everyone was pressuring me to buy the dress I wore when I cried, I KNEW that the dress I wanted was the one I ended up buying. I didn't cry when wearing it but it felt so right and I was too happy while I was wearing it to cry. I have no doubts it was the right choice.
Some people are just differeent. I didn't cry either, sometimes you just know its the right one.
I dont think I will cry either and thats surprising because I'm a pretty emotional person! However I'm really emotional about our marriage, not necessarily the dress I will be wearing when we exchange vows (if that makes senes?).
don't worry! I didn't cry either...I was just really really happy :-)
Meh, no worries. I didn't cry a single tear when I found my dress but I was smiley.
I think crying when you find "the one" is more of the exception than the rule. I am usually an emotional person and I didn't cry when I got engaged or when I found my gown. I was just over the top happy and in the moment when I got engaged and when I found my dress it was more a feeling of peace.
You are totally fine and not missing anything at all!
I didn't cry either and I really like my dress but didn't have an omg this is it!! moment. I tried it on, liked it, remembered it, and went back to get it three months later.
Don't worry about it at all. I didn't cry either, although my mom did. I didn't cry when I got engaged, either. As long as you love your dress (which it certainly sounds like you do), that's all that matters!
I don't think you have to cry at all. I doubt I will. I am so not a cryer. Haha But my Grandmother and Mom and maybe even my best friend will and that will just make me feel crazy and a little uncomfortable. But I am still looking forward to it!
No worries! I didn't cry when I found my dress, but I knew it was the one, because of how it made me feel. You don't have to cry in order to feel something.
I didn't even cry when my FI proposed to me. I was just too shocked, and suprised, and I was mad tired, cause I just had donated blood for the first time ever, haha.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my dress, but I didn't cry I just kept jumping up and down with JOY!!
haha the only thing i cried about, wedding related, was when my salon lady took too much off my eyebrows before my engagement photos. I definitely shed no tears for the dress- you're not alone. :-P
I think the idea of crying when you find your dress is just another expectation that the whole wedding context puts on you. Too many things about weddings are focused on what you "should" do and what the norm is. I didn't cry either...don't stress!
I cried both when I got engaged and when I found the dress... but I am an extreme crier - I cry at commercials!!!!!!
I knew I would cry but I thought that it would be my mom who would make me cry but I don't know why I thought that because she is so not a crier and it was my emotional friend that made me cry not my mom.
Also my MOH is also getting married and we went shopping together for dresses and once again she is not a crier and she didn't cry when she got engaged or when she found the dress.
Don't feel bad it just depends on you as a person! I think more so they mean there should be an emotional reaction of happiness but that doesn't mean crying for everyone!
Congrats on finding your dress!
I didn't cry. it is BEAUTIFUL don't get me wrong - and I can't WAIT to wear it. but nope. no tears here.
I cried when FI proposed, but not when I found my dress. I was really happy about my dress and didn't want to take it off... but no tears. :)
I didn't cry when I found my dress but I did start sweating profusely. Sorry for the TMI but that's how I knew it was MY dress. As for my proposal I sobbed like a baby.
I cry at commercials too - but did not cry over my dress. I can see where you're coming from because I was like "what is wrong with me?? I cry at the drop of the hat over something in a movie character's life, but don't cry at such a big moment in my own?"
But after reading the above posts, I feel much better now, and I'm sure you do too!!
I didn't cry...in fact I had all the employees in the boutique gather and vote on the best dress...I had two that I could not decide between to save my life. So they saved MY life and picked the dress :)
So yeah, no tears!
I didn't cry and neither did any of my family members who saw my dress (mom, sis, grandma, aunts). I was kind of shocked because I cry at EVERYTHING--commercials, email forwards, whatever! I was a little worried that I didn't pick the right dress because I never got that overwhelming feeling that people described about it. However, I LOVED my dress and it was absolutely the right choice for me. I'm not sure why I didn't cry, but I know I made the right choice, so you probably did, too.
I didn't cry, I love my dress so much I just wanna stand and stare at myself in the mirror, than go twirling around like i'm five all over the store.. haha
Not a tear shed here... but I knew I loved it like no other dress. I was sure and didn't need tears to confirm it :)
Thanks so much for all of the support... I guess I'm not the only one who didn't cry :-)
Nope, I didn't cry. I've said it before as well, but I never got the OMG IT'S THE ONE feeling either. I tried on other dresses and didn't like them, tried on this one and liked it. Tried on some others and still kept thinking about that dress. The price was right and I got it. If it had been too expensive, not available, etc. I would have moved on with no problem. People have different personalities/reactions to this type of stuff.
I haven't shed a tear or felt like "omg this is the one!" In fact, I found it amusing, because every bridal consultant at every store watched me like a hawk and actually acted kinda disapointed that I wasn't very emotional about it. I apologized to one, even, and told her I was just too pragmatic to cry over a dress. lol ^_^ I'm making my final decision as a voting process with my mom and sister and that works for me. There's nothing wrong with shedding no tears or feeling no rush of overwhelming joy. 
Nah, you're not missing anything. I didn't cry when I got engaged and I didn't cry when I found my dress. I just couldn't stop smiling.
I don't get the whole crying thing either. Don't get me wrong, I understand that finding the dress that is "the one" is emotional. Just for me it didn't move me towards anything resembling tears. I knew that I had found "the dress" b/c you couldn't wipe the enormous smile off of my face. I didn't even have anything to say. Just beamed at myself in the mirror and couldn't stop looking at the dress.
For the record, I just saw your post with pictures from your wedding, and I definitely think your dress was "The one" - It's beautiful! I didn't cry when I got my dress either, but I definitely love it and don't think any other dress would have made me react any more.

Hey Hive,
So you watch all of the tv shows and movies where the bride cries when she finds "the Dress"...if you don't cry does that mean that is "it"? I love, love, love, my dress. I went to my final fitting today and was so excited, but I've never had that moment where I felt like I wanted to cry. Am I missing something??????
