Crying during the ceremony

Hi,

"Congratulations"

Dont worry about getting over emotional, this just shows that you care and are taking things very serously.

My tip to you is when you feel that things are getting out of control, hold your breath for a few seconds, untill you feel that you can continue.

Good luck ?

Oh I cry at anything and everything im such a softie. I know im gonna be in tears when I get married and theres nothing I can do about it so my MOH will be standing by with a very large bag full of tissues.

My church have told me that when we walk back up the aisle, we don't actually leave the church but we walk across the back of the church and down the other side to the front again (hope this makes sense). Then when all the guests are outside, we go out last to greet everyone as husband and wife and get loads of confetti thrown at us.

I dont know if its the same in all churches but I hope this helps.

Ah well, I don't want to toughen myself up I suppose!

Excellent knowledge about the aisle thing - I'll be sure to ask as there's a balcony so maybe we could go to spy up there!

My eyes welled up and my voice got higher and higher as I said my vows. What stopped me from properly blubbing was being annoyed with myself for forgetting to have a couple of tissues on me!

Also, our minister was good at making us laugh a little when everything seemed to be overwhelming.

As for where to wait for your guests, that's really up to you! Make sure it's far enough away from the church door that it doesn't impeed everyone getting out. If you have a spot near the church where you plan on getting a group photograph, then you could always go stand near there and by proxy, all your guests will be in the right area for the group shot! (get the group shot quick - you'd be surprised how quickly people will wander away for a ciggie or the loo etc)

I think the tears show a real personal and emotional feel to the ceremony. I know my OH with cry, but Im more worried he will cry when he sees his daughter walk down the aisle as flowergirl and get emotional about that then when I walk in - lol

I thought I would be a blubber, even posting about it too. I had severe lump throatitis on the day like but no tears.....

I kept playing the music....and our minister calmed us too.....

re the way out. We had one door, the guests had another door to use and we met outside in the middle

Obviously the tears are tears of joy, you're jus to happy and overwhelm on whats happening to your wedding plan. Don't worry too much even though tears will fall

to your eyes during the ceremony it is natural for at last you will start a new chapter of life with your beloved H2B

I have to be honest im not normally one to get emotional over weddings etc, but i think mine in August will be a different kettle of fish! having wasted my time in a loveless relationship for 13 years (although i had 3 lovely boys out of it!!) i really am where i want to be in my life right now, i met H2B almost 2 years ago and things moved very quickly from there on but it was (and still is!!) perfect from day one he has been a fab support to me and my (our) boys, he really has bought me out 'the other side' our day is going to have such meaning to it but will also be tinged with sadness as his mother died of cancer 14th December last year (just days after his gran had died) and i will always remember her 'special request'.......... ''Lorna please look after my Stevie'' a promise i made to her and intend to keep. Niether of us are deeply religious but im sure she will be there one way or another and i have no doubt that for the reasons above that it will be an extremely emotional day x

I was the same as you, everytime I read the service I cried but not a tear on the day, I was so calm I shocked myself.

When we came out of church we walked up to the entrance to the church yard whilst the rest of the guests came out. We had a male voice choir and they lined the path, gave us three cheers and clapped us as we walked up to the entrance.

1) Don't cry on your wedding day or you will miss out.I was emotional planning my music readings etc for my church service but on the day I was calm.I think it depens on the priest/vicar you have as well.

2) The photographer tends to guide you after you come out of the church for the photos.Just be yourself and enjoy!!

Thank you all for your wise words of wisdom, you've put my mind at ease. If I cry, it shouldn't be a big deal but hopefully I can keep it together on the whole!

Maybe it'll be how I am with blood? I'm totally squeemish and over-react when talking about it, but on the one occasion I had to kneel all in it and push down on an artery it was all OK. Well, hopefully it won't be such a gruesome comparison, but you get what I mean?

How did i stop myself from crying? rescue remedy, and lots of it! works a treat.

I was OK, then when I got to the bottom and saw H. I could have gone quite easily big lump in my throught, went to gulp and stop myself as H was crying and I thought 2 of us could not cry.

He said it was the registrar's fault, she said to him turn and look she looks beautiful no I wil cry he said no you will be fine you won't cry but look. He looked and cryed but she had big box of tissues for me at the ready.

Think I will be the same ff, I cried last week at the wedding show when the girls did the catwalk. God help me in 21 months time.

Good luck.
