Are you worried about blubbing your way through your vows?

Sorry not a lot of help think its gonna be my other half thats gonna cry his way through!

You never know it might be me!!

Feel like crying now, cause my honeymoon doesnt look like its going to happen!

Would suggest the waterproof though just in case!

OMG I'm terrified

I got a good tip off my nan, Don't put mascara on your bottom lashes until after the ceremony ? Sounds good to me lol

Don't worry about tears, don't see them as a problem!

The first time I had to do a dedication for a relative who recently died I had all the guests in tears. I worried that my job was to create a happy party....not everyone crying until a wedding guru pointed out to me that emotions are essential for a wedding to be memorable, both tears and laughter. I now worry if I don't evoke either!!!

Why not change the thread to "who can suggest a bullet proof waterproof mascara!!"

I am definitely worried about this. I get tears in my eyes now if I listen to the music I'm walking into, so god knows what I'm going to be like when I'm actually walking down the aisle to it with my dad, looking at OH at the end of it! Then if I do manage to get down the aisle dry-eyed (which is so unlikely it's pretty much impossible) I'm then going to have to say my vows - there is no way on earth I will get through that tear-free!!

I am really emotional lately, I even got teary at our appointment with the videographer when he showed us footage of a wedding he'd done, obviously didn't know the bride and groom from Adam but still shed a few tears! OH was looking at me as if to say "Will you stop embarrassing me!!" ?

My only hope is that maybe the adrenaline of the day, coupled with nerves, will help settle me a little bit! I'm planning on doing a speech too, and my mum has asked me several times if I am sure this is a good idea as she knows what I'm like. I WILL get through it!

I was more concerned about laughing through them because during the rehearsal i burst out laughing. The Vicar said to not worry and i would be fine on the day.

I was fine until my H's voice went and then the lip started to move and the tears creeped out. Then my Mum started. Then my Brother........

That is my concern. I am a known giggler at the best of times. I think I might get emotional at several points 1) seeing my kids and nieces all dressed up 2) seeing my Dad 3) maybe walking towards my OH and if none of them start me off my vows should be fine?!

Well I wasn't - but I am now!!!

I cried when I chose my wedding dress, and I'm not a teary person usually. I think I will find it hard when I'm walking down the aisle with my dad. It's such a huge thing and now I am worried that I'm going to end up all red faced and puffy eyed by the time I get to the other end!! I hope a good dose of nerves stops that from happening!! I think scared to death / embarassed / pale and nervous might be a better look than bloated, red and sniffly!!!!!

I am quite worried about this too!

Since having my 2 children, I cannot help but well up at the slightest emotional thing! Last season's Don't tell the Bride really had me in tears!

Luckily have a little while before my wedding so plenty of time to trial lots of waterproof mascara!

I will cry. i cry at anything. so, my allies in "not sobbing all the way through my vows, but only allowing a touching amount of emotion" are:

waterproof mascara. i've used a maybelline one before - has (sadly) seen me through a funeral and many many tears.

rescue remedy. never tried it before, but i remember kebab thief swore by it.

That's a good one I use it for my dogs every bonfire night and new year chills them right out!

I'm so glad that i'm not the only one, and thanks for all your tips! ?

Looks like we'll all be investing in waterproof mascara, kleenex and rescue remendy then! ?

My friend cried at her wedding, all the way down the aisle and right through the ceremony, she was an emotional wreck by the end! It was lovely though cos we could all see how much the day meant to her ?

I never used to be worried about this but this whole wedding lark is turning me into a big softy, I cried when we went engagement ring shopping and we found the right one! (Luckily I waited until after we'd left the shop so I didn't freak out the assistant) So who knows what will happen on the actual day!

Me too, im not emotional but have found myslef welling up when talking about the important parts of our wedding day, waching wedding programs on TV, almost cried when I heard a harpist at a wedding fayre playing the wedding march. managed to keep it in so far!

we went to a wedding last year and the bride only had one small wobble during the vows but not proer tears and managed to keep it together. she said that she had cired so much in the run up to the wedding over various emotional things etc that by the day the day came she was quite relaxed and calm and didnt feel the need to cry.

Hi,

I'm quite worried about crying because once I start I can't stop. Either that or I'll laugh or be so excited I won't listen to a word the registrar is saying.

Also really worried about only meeting the registrar 10 mins before the ceremony. Hope she doesn't say the vows to quick or when it comes to me repeating, I'll forget what she has said.

My eyes will well up but I will blink the teats back as ny eyes go really red, puffy and blotchy so if I let my self go my pics will look ?.

Going to take a few deep breaths before walking in the door and maybe a few bottles of rescue remedy too ?

I will definatly cry throughout my vows...i cry when reading something emotional and had a tears in my eyes giving notice of marriage!! what will I be like on the day I don't know. Mascara and rescue remedy and lots of tissues will be in my bms bag! I'm not worried tho..h2b knows what i'm like he'll probably be the same..

In the beginning I was very emotional, am quite anyway but over the past month or so I have to say I have been holding it together pretty well.

I still can't talk about my godmother who passed away last year but I can imagine saying my vows and I am fine - aren't emotions weird.

wearing waterproof mascara just incase

STUFF IT!!

I am a blubbering, blathering idiot , I cry EVERYTIME I try my wedding dress on and still only the sample in the shop(I cry at the dogs charity advert on the telly for goodness sake!) So I know I will be a wreck when I walk into church, walk down the aisle, say my vows, walk back up the aisle... SO I have decided that if I want to cry, I will and be proud of it!! (Bravado shining through!) It is going to be the most poignant day of my life and I will be proud of panda eyes!!

Ohyesiree!! (might just get the Maybelline waterproof mascara though- don't want massive panda eyes, small ones are ok)

Oh, i know i'm going to blub. i cried when i read a poem to H2B that i'd found as a possible reading. Plus, i know H2B will cry as he does whenever we really talk about the wedding, so that will make me cry.

I will cry, i cry at anything according to my other half. My plan is to make it a very emotional service so everyone crys and i wont look so silly if everyone else is too!

I know I'll cry, I cried so much during my mums wedding last year & I know they'll be so many things that'll make me cry. My H2B cries even more than me so I know he'll start me off even more. In another thread Ebony Rose asked us who was gonna fake it & after thinking it about I'm almost definite that I'm gonna look into how much/how good getting your eyelashes tinted so I don't have to worry about masacra going everywhere as I've never been much of a fan of the waterproof stuff!

I'm a blubber too so if I end up crying during the ceremony, I'll probably set H2B off as well! I may have to invest in a little rescue remedy as well.

I have heard that if you look up when the wobbles start the tears cant fall, So I am just going to watch Titanic for the 10th time and see if it works?

Although I cry at the most silly and non-emotional things I think I'll be alright for the vows, if I cry it'll be with my dad in the morning before we get into the car or during dad's speech or when h2b mentions my grandad who passed away in January this year in his speech. Can't see myself blubbing at any other point thoughm

Hi

I am not worried about it, but I will defo cry, I have written a poem for my H2B, and we are writing our own promises too, so I know I will cry as long as I don't have a snotty nose all will be good ;-)

Like the honesty Cat.

I don't know if I will cry or not. I think i will probably have a few tears in my eyes moments. I had tears in my eyes as I was putting together the order of service draft earlier on today and when I was listening to my entrance music. God who am I kidding yes I think I will cry, oh well not much I can do about it really.
