50's pin up bride
Beginner July 2012

There's no hope for me....

50's pin up bride, 27 October, 2011 at 10:06 Posted on Planning 0 31

... I even well up at DTTB!!

OMs - did you cry at your wedding?

Those B2B - do you think you'll cry at your wedding? Do you care either way?

I really DON'T want to cry during our vows but I don't mind if I shed the odd happy tear (as long as it doesn't spoil the make up ? )

    I cry at everything and I'm pretty sure I'll cry on the day. My OH is convinced he will cry too. I'm not bothered to be honest - I think it just shows that we care. I will have my bridemaids on standby with mascara and tissues though!

    Haha I was thinking about this last night! I nearly cried at a wedding show so feel like I may cry when I see my H2B which I really don't want to as I get the puffiest red face EVER when I cry!!! Hopefully I won't really care either way!!!

    Do you think your H2B will cry??

    i know i will cry but....i know H2B will cry like a baby....my MOH is gonna be on hand with a teaspoon which if he gets too emotional she is gonna hand it to him...he will know what she means and he will burst out laughing....

    H2B favourite saying is have a teaspoon of cement and harden up!

    OMG I am so going to cry all day!!!

    I have cried while making invitations, cried while looking at flowers

    Cried looking at my reception venue

    Cried looking at dresses

    Cried for absoluetly no reason at all I don't know whats wrong with me!!!

    I'm hoping I can hold myself together on the actual day but I doubt it! I am not normally one to cry but I never ever thought I would meet someone I love enough to marry so this really means a lot to me.

    Nearly crying now.... I'm screwed! Where's the tissues?! [:'(]

    Almost. First sight of my beautiful wife at the front of the ceremony room was almost too much.

    Her father had to fight back the tears too just before the ceremony - which can be seen in our video.

    We managed to keep ourselves together though throughout the ceremony and the rest of the day - although it was difficult as it was such a wonderful day all round.

    People expect the ladies to cry but it's not something us men are really meant to do.

    I'm not usually a crier. I got a bit misty on our wedding day, though more during the speeches than the actual services. No weeping though. OH was actually almost offended that his speech didn't make me cry!

    I didn't help matters by having a complete crying fit on the day of my friend's wedding last weekend - but that was because one dress didn't fit, we ripped another, were going to be late and I was panicking.

    I think if my mum starts (which she normally does at weddings) that will set me off

    I always well up at DTTB but I didn't cry at my own wedding. I think in many ways it is more emotional to watch someone's wedding than to be the one getting married. I spent the whole day with a grin on my face.

    I nearly cried on my way to the reg office when my mum's neighbours came out to say goodbye, but not at any other point really. I think I made sure I was grinning and laughing as it is a better alternative than crying! I would have hated to have cried, I don't do public crying.

    I think if I cry it may be relief at pulling off the organising of the wedding after 18 months of planning. I cried at my sons christening for the same reason, total stress and the build up made me sob, everyone thought I was nuts and that my ex had upset me.

    OH did say he will mention my son in his speech and that may set me off.

    I didn't cry at all - I was just so smiley and laughey (if that's a word!).

    My H did get upset when he first saw me in the ceremony room - there was a little bottom lip wobble and he had to dab his eyes with his hanky. Totally didn't expect that - the only other time I've ever seen him cry was when our dog died last year.

    I'm quite surprised my mum didn't cry - she normally does and sets me off! Maybe she was just so thrilled to be rid of us?

    I cried loads running up to our wedding but on the day i hardly cried once. I cried when i saw my flowers and i nearly cried when i saw my dad, but when i got down the end of the aisle, although i was really nervous and shaking, I didnt cry once. I nearly welled up when she said 'and now repeat after me' but i just started laughing and said 'I cant!!' which everyone fund hilarious...didnt cry tho. thought I would blub!! I cry at everyone elses weddings!!!!

    I welled up at my best friend's wedding when they walked into the ceremony room and during their vows. I had to do the first reading, and I was all composed until the end. I had looked at them periodically during the reading and all I could see them laughing and smiling at me, so I nearly cracked. I was glad the reading did not go on for another verse, otherwise I would have been a blubbing wreck.

    I am amazed at myself how emotional I get anything wedding related. DDTB, listening to music samples, during our dance lessons, reading about the ceremony, choosing the music...I get all emotional. I just hope that on the day I am done with all my crying and I will just be my Gingercat grinning self (I don't smile, I just have this Colgate grin - the photographer will be pleased....). Even though I will not see my h2b outfit (him and his BH are getting their suits made), I might just cry when I see him all suited and booted standing at the altar, waiting for me....I hope not...

    If my h2b is going to cry - not sure....he might get a bit misty eyed....

    My mum will cry, my sister will cry, my MoH will cry, her husband will cry...I just have to keep it together for them! lol

    I'm usually a very emotional person, but lately I haven't welled up at the wedding programmes. The only thing that has made me emotional has been seeing a few friends' wedding photos.

    However, this week's DTTB did make me well up... Back to normal nursieland...

    I cry at anything weddingy atm, I know I will cry when I see my dad, because I know he will cry! I have told H2B if he doesn't cry I will poke him in the eye! LOL (obviously I am joking). My mum will cry so that will set me off, I have made an agreement with BM and MOH not to make eye contact with me untill after the ceremony because I know as soon as I catch someones eye, I will blub.

    I didn't cry at our wedding - I keep meaning to post the video but I am laughing and smiling the whole time, however poor Husband was sobbing just the teeniest bit.

    I really didn't want to cry and was so emotional the whole time before - we'd both cry at my entrance music, and watching DTTB... ? but on the day itself I was so happy all I could do was smile, massive real stupid smiles!

    I cry at the drop of a hat (PMT, films, reading some of the wedding readings that strike a chord etc etc). It's something I'm a little bit worried about for the day TBH as I'm a really, really ugly crier. I don't just shed a few dainty tears my face goes all red and puffy and my nose runs and I look an absolute wreck!!

    LoL Yes I think I will - although I thought I would have cried when OH proposed - but he took me by surprise so much I was in shock more than anything. I Think that if OH turns around when I'm walking down the aisle we will both cry!! If he cry's there is no hope for me :o) I hope I don't get too emotional as I sometimes find it hard to compose myself again so service could take FOREVER. Lol

    I didn't at my first wedding. I think I was in control-freak mode and trying to stage manage everything (to the extent that I pointed out to the registrar where she "went wrong" - not putting our personal vows in the right place. I was also very conscious of people looking at me.

    This time I'm not so sure. We're eloping because I don't want all that stuff in front of people again, so it's very intimate, and very us. Plus this time I will be having a full C of E service which I couldn't have last time (ex H was previously married). It devastated me that I couldn't marry in church before, and the whole fact that this time I am not only marrying the right person, but also with the ceremony I ALWAYS wanted, may get to me a bit. I was welling up when our wedding co-ordinator confirmed that since it was an Anglican church marrying us, the service would be full C of E!

    H2b may blub - I'd rather he didn't since I don't really do crying men (yeah yeah I know...), but that's sthg I can't dictate really!

    I cry at everything even silly things on tv programmes but I didn't cry at all at our wedding. I just couldn't stop smiling the whole day - not even a tiny welling of the eyes! My OH got a bit teary as I walked down the aisle and the mums and grans did have a few tears at various points during the day.
