I almost always cry at weddings and I am absolutely positive I would have to try REALLY hard not to weep at my own!
How about you?
If you're expecting water works, what are your backup to save your makeup?
Married ladies -- how did you handle it?
You might surprise yourself. I am a total crier, but I only had a few tears. I think the fact that I was in front of literally hundreds of people kind of forced me to compose myself. I did cry when he said his vows, but it didn't really affect my makeup very much. I had on waterproof mascara, and I just touched up with a tiny bit of powder between the ceremony and reception.
I started crying as soon as the ceremony started, and I didn't have a dry eye the entire time. :) Actually, what got me started was walking down the aisle and seeing my (now) husband standing there with tears streaming down his face. He was crying so hard, he couldn't even say a word to my dad when my dad gave me away! It was really sweet.
As far as makeup goes, I just didn't care. I retouched after the ceremony, before we started pictures. But I didn't actively try to hold back my tears or anything because I just wanted to be really in the moment and not try to hold anything back. I think as long as you are not srying so hard that you can't say your vows, I think you'll be fine.
I'm so screwed, I got misty-eyed just reading through our ceremony text while putting it together. I hope the waterproof mascara I got will hold up!
I get emotional just thinking about the ceremony so yeah. Plus I know FI will start tearing as soon as I start walking down the aisle, which I know will trigger me.
I start crying just wedding planning; looking at other people's wedding sites, buying my gown, choosing the father-daughter dance song, looking at videographery sites
I can only imagine myself bawling during the whole ceremony; I'll bring extra eyeshadow and lipstick for sure
I cannot hold back the tears no matter WHOSE wedding I'm at! It's SO embarassing! I can be at some person's wedding and not even know them and I start watering! I always wear my hair down so I can hide a little. I'm SO worried I'm going to BAWL at my own wedding, reading my vows, etc. I cry when I get overwhelmed, even at good things, so I can see myself COMPLETELY crying a little and going "omg i'm so sorry" and laughing at my FI while he kinda rolls his eyes at me and holds my hand, knowing full well. I cry at episodes of CSI sometimes! He doesn't know that 
. I know my Fi won't cry at all (he's not a cryer EVER and I'm sure he'll just have this big goofy grin on his face) but I also know that one look at my mom blubbering away will set me off.
I actually brought this up to my makeup artist who told me not to worry at all. Everything will be waterproof, even my foundation! It's called Superfit and it's for athletes and everythign. She has this clinique mascara that is nasty--it forms wateprroof sleeves on your eyelashes and ONLY comes off with hot water. I kid you not, makeup remover wonj't work. I SLEPT in a full face of makeup and nothing came off at all. I'm pretty sure some tears won't hurt it. And all tha tfoundation will cover up my red face =].
Also I'm holding a little handkerchief to dab my eyes with as necessary
I was actually shocked that I didn't cry at all during my wedding ceremony. I'm a HUGE crier--I bawl at commercials and sob at funerals for people I've never met. I was sure that I would cry out of control at my own wedding, however, I didn't shed a tear. I think because I was so focused on what was happening and truly happy, I just never seemed to cry. I was emotional, for sure, and my voice cracked when saying my vows, but I didn't cry. Just in case, I did wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner and had a hankerchief with me.
I know for 100% I will cry at my own wedding! I went through a Pre-cana class (my FI and myself are both catholic) and we had an engagement ceremony at the end and the words were almost the same as our soon to be vows and I could hardly get them out!
It's an odd thing however, becuase I work as an event coordinator for a well known wedding venue where I live and I never cry at those weddings! Could be because I am so worried about getting everything perfect for my bride and groom but still!!!! I am going to need to find some way to make sure I don't ruin all my make-up and such on my special day!
I cried and cried and cried. I cried when we got to the venue ("it's finally here...boo hoo hoo"), I cried walking down the aisle with my mom (a lot of pictures with my eyes closed) cried all during the ceremony through the vows...I was crying, and I felt so silly crying that I started laughing - lots of people said it was sweet, but some who couldn't see me thought I was really breaking down! The worst part was I was SURE my fiancee would cry and I wouldn't, but he didn't - AT ALL!
Either way, just let your feelings out naturally. Don't worry about crying or not crying! It'll be beautiful and special no matter what.

ES, I'm going to be you, I promise! LoL. My eyes get all puffy and I get the asian eye epidemic like nobody's business! I go from being 1/4 korean to looking like my mom! I hope people didn't think you were having TOO big of a meltdown, LOL!
I can't believe I am saying this but I am almost sure I will be crying. My FI says I am unemotional but when I put on my wedding dress for my mom I cried, I cry just thinking about the ceremony. It is going to be hard not to cry because we are going to have a memorial candle for my FI younger brother who passed away a year ago and we are going to say a quick poem and moment of silence for him during the ceremony so that is going to be sad but there will almost be so much joy that day! I might just have a huge hankie attached to my dress!
I cry. All the time. I'm an overly sensitive person!
I went to a wedding a few weeks ago where the bride was so composed and didn't cry and I admire her! She got choked up at one point but really was striking the entire time. I just know I'll be a blubbering idiot!
Oh, and I forgot that when FI's cousin was getting married she lost her contact lens as she was walking down the aisle cause she was crying. She literally had to stop mid aisle and pop it back in!
I'm actually hoping Fi will cry so then I won't. The few times I have seen him cry, something in me makes me not cry (maybe I am just a cold person). And I do think he will cry. He cried when he proposed.
I get teary just thinking about it.
I always cry when watching those shows on TV and such, but for mine, not one single tear! The only time I teared up a bit was when I read the card from my hubby to me while I was getting ready. I was quite glad not to mess up my makeup or have any ugly cry pictures! It's one of those things, I guess you just can't predict!
I expect I will cry, though I am not sure how much. I surprised myself when I didn't cry during the proposal. The whole thing happened so fast there just wasn't time. I've considered a lightning fast ceremony so I can hold back on that day as well. Of course, too fast and I won't be able to take it all in!

Cry at everyone else's wedding. Totally prepared to cry at mine -- waterproof makeup and the like -- and in fact I didn't shed a tear. Was far too giggly/excited even for happy tears!
Oh I most likely will cry at my wedding but probably only at the vows part of the ceremony. The last 3 weddings I attended I ended up tearing up when they said their vows. I think it may have had to do with me being the MOH or bridesmaid in each where I had a perfect view of the groom and saw each of them with glassy eyes. I guess I better prepare myself for the waterworks!

I know I'm going to be a wreck at my wedding. I cry at weddings on tv, weddings for people I don't even know! I recently went to a wedding for someone I had only met once, and I cried through several parts of the ceremony. So I'm not sure how to get around crying at my own!
Waterproof mascara will probably be my best friend for the ceremony. Then a touchup before the reception. I do hope that I see a few tears from my fiance when I walk down the aisle. :)
I am actually REALLY worried about this!
I never used to be a cryer - I used to be this big tomboy, who only had guy friends. Once I met my 2 best friends now, who are both girls I have become a MAJOR softy to the MAX!
I cry at EVERYTHING! there pretty much isint a day of watching TV that I didn't cry (extream makeover: home addition was a bad culprit for that) Yeah I cry alot
AND NOW, with all this wedding planning I am freaking out even more because I really think I am going to have a breakdown! even just THINKING about things like walking down the aisle with my dad, or seeing my FI while walking down the aisle, or SAYING MY VOWS, or hearing speeches...I have to like mentally stop myself from getting that feeling in my gut that I am about to burst out into tears!
I tell my FI this all the time, and he's like you'll be fine, and I just look at him and go...WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING! ha ha I was like sedate me or something! Ugh!
Worst part is...I am totally one of those UGLY cryers. ha ha nasty bunched up face, I got bloctchy and red, and my eyes get sooooo puffy I look like my dog (a PUG) ha ha
Any advice other than being heavily sedated on your wedding day?! ha ha
I'm a crier generally - at other's weddings, any important life ceremoney like graduation, at movies, etc etc. But I really don't cry at my OWN of these things. I get oddly composed when I know there are a bunch of people looking at me. I don't know why, I don't even try to do it! I think it'll be the same for our wedding - all the eyes on us will make me feel a little more like it's a performance or something.
Oh, I've totally accepted the fact that I will be a GONER during my ceremony. I never used to be a crier, but over the past few years, it's gotten way worse. I find myself crying at the strangest things like "Wife Swap" and Hallmark card commercials. I even cried at the end of "Bolt"! FI and I were going over ceremony readings the other night, and I got all teary just doing that! AH! I'm totally making my MOH carry tissues in her bustier... I know I'm gonna need them!
I started crying when I looked at my groom and he was crying. Thank goodness he had given me a hankerchief for a gift and I had that one me. It really came in handy for both of us. Apparently everyone at the wedding was crying so it wasn't a big deal that we were
. I turned to my bridesmaids at one point and said do I look like a big mess and they blotted my face and it was all good!
I can totally imagine myself crying. I tear up just thinking about my wedding and walking down the aisle to my honey.
I'm a total crier too - commercials make me cry - anything about puppies, reading a sad story, news stories - but I did not cry at my wedding. My older sister walked me down the aisle, and I started getting misty so I just started talking to her to take my mind off of it. And my husband did a couple of funny things during the ceremony to make me laugh. Any time I felt myself getting emotional, I'd shift my gaze - look at my MOH, our guests, my nephew who was a groomsman or one of the kid in the bridal party.
I cried walking down the aisle (I was laughing too...my dad had put in some silly fake teeth right before we started down the aisle) and also cried when I was saying my vows. I pulled it together and made it through! Don't be worried about if you're going to cry or not! Its an emotional day and if you cry and mess up your make-up, then so be it! You'll have time to touch it up afterwards!
i cried like.a.complete.baby... It got to the point where I was sniffling and had to wipe my nose with the back of my hand repeatedly. My MIL was trying to get my attention so she could hand me a tissue, but I was totally out of it. I didn't expect to cry that much, but man when those flood gates are open, you can't close them!
oh and that brings me to my point- even if you don't intend on crying, I would be prepared to cry- bring at least a tissue!
sigh....maybe I should accept the fact I am going to look like a blubbering idiot at the altar! ugggh!
ha ha I dont wanna cry! I dont waaaannna!

I thought I would be a HUGE mess but I really didn't cry at all.
My problem was the church giggles. I couldnt stop! When I did start to well up (during our vows!) I blew a big ol' snot bubble through my nose that only my DH and I noticed! He was great and kept a straight face which is the only thing that prevented me from cracking up.
I too am I crier! I cry when I'm happy, I cry when I'm mad, I cry when I'm sad...
Any tips on keeping your eyes dry during the ceremony? I don't mind if I tear up during the speeches and what-not, but I don't want to be blubbering through my vows! ;)
I will probably cry, because my fiance will probably cry. He cried when he proposed, which made me cry. We are both emotional people. We're both Sagitarians. Go figure.
Anyway, I plan on putting two hankys in his suit pocket-one for him and one for me!
Have one of your BMs have a tissue handy! no runny noses!
I will definitely cry, I get choked up just thinking about it sometimes. I have added to my hair and makeup that the makeup artist will stay just before the ceremony starts until after the pictures are taken in case my makeup gets ruined!
ha ha ha, how perfect is this...my FI just send me an email that read;
very nice, thanks to the love of mine!
Just funny when this is a post today!
I am with Mrs. Champagne, I never thought about what I would do if I cried. Luckily, one of my bridesmaids had a hankie that I used as my something borrowed. I definitely used it!
I will cry like a child!! My FI's brother got married last May and even then I cried when they started to say their vows.
Even thinking about it sometimes I start to tear up. lol!
here's what you don't want during your vows:
it's a good thing i paid all that money to get my make-up done... bring a tissue:)

i'm a crier. Always have been - especially at weddings! Totally thought I would be a crying mess at my wedding.
Surprise - I wasn't! However, both DH and I began to get tearful at our Rehearsal while reciting our vows for the first time. I think it was a little less stressful and more intimate with just the two of us up there - no "audience".
By the time the real moment came, we were both so giddy and excited to enjoy our wedding that we stayed totally composed and ecstatic!
