Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

Just curious on this one, I held up fine until I heart the music playing for here comes the bride, I took the biggest deep breath of my life and did the walk up the aisle, I had some heavy tears in my eyes for sure, but I held up okay, good thing is the blusher did hide most of those tears on the way up the aisle, but it didnt hide all of them or all of those funny expressions I had on my face.
The pictures sure showed my facial expressions: so serious looking, so happy with such a Big smile on my face, then a little smile then back to serious. Then when we were sitting in our seats facing the alter, right before our vows, tears started rolling down my face . The little alter girl just stared at me the entire time I was up there, she wouldnt even blink or take her eyes off of me for one second, she also kept making cute amazing wow faces that it was cracking me up inside, girls she held me together a little otherwise I think I would of really been crying. She was so young and innocent, so when I was trying to get it together by breathing very deep or by holding my breath a few times to fight the tears, I would look deep into her eyes in kind of a trance and stare back at her, she made me smile so bright just by the look on her face. I look at the pictures now and say, wow that little girl was living through my eyes that day. Once we were announced Husband and Wife and we turned around to come down the aisle and face everyone I was like Oh my God, I am a mess, my face was so pinkish red & I had plenty of tears rolling down my face, and by the pictures I saw tears in my husbands eyes too. It was so nice to see them, as I only noticed them a little bit that day...

Yep....I was hysterical walking down the aisle...i made about 100 faces in the 30 seconds that I walked down because I was trying to stop myself from crying. At one point I even did this deep breathing thing to calm myself. And then I cried during our vows too! I was an emotional mess until we were pronounced husband and wife

Wow, at least I was not alone on that, I felt just like you said, walking up the aisle with my two brothers in some pictures I look so scared, others I have a nice smile on, its cool though, the blusher seems to have covered my tears, I am fair skinned so I get so red when I cry....So after I didnt look that wonderful for a few minutes if you know what I mean.

Nope, not one drop! I think b/c I felt like it wasn't even happening. I started to get choked up at the end of the night when everything was over. One of my BM (a good friend of mine) and her DH came over and hugged Dh and I. I started to tear up then, but that was it - the entire day!

I didn't cry either during the ceremony--you can see by the huge smile on my face how excited and eager I was.

The only times I welled up was when my husband saw me for the first time that morning, prior to the portrait session, and at the ketubah signing, when my cousin (who's thought of me has his little sister since I was born) saw me all grown up and in my wedding gown and started to tear up (and he's one of those macho manly-men kinda guys who doesn't do that).

No, not really but my BIL (DH's brother & BM) was in hysterics. It was so sweet but he got the whole BP crying and our mom's and then DH almost lost it.

I was to scared to cry. The whole time I walked down the isle I kept thinking 'I'm going to throw up, I'm going to throw up'

Re: Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

I started crying right after we said our vows and my makeup was never really the same after that.

Re: Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

I was FINE all day. Very calm, etc... The procession started & I was totally chill. Then, right before me, we had a GM carry in our 3 month old daughter (our MOH). As she entered the ceremony, I heard the place go 'awwww...' and I got choked up. Then my dad made a dumb a$$ comment & it brought me back to center & I smiled down the aisle.

here she is making her GRAND entrance!

I started to tear up when DH was saying his vows....he was looking into my eyes and he started to choke up !! That was all I needed....the tears started to come. Then while I'm saying mine I was getting choked up and teary eyed. So now I have a couple of really bad pictures of me fighting the tears

Re: Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

I surprised myself, I didn't cry walking down the aisle tho I did get a little choked up during the vows. What surprised me even more is that DH wasn't crying either, I was sure btw seeing me and his daughter all dressed up he'd be a mess.

However, during our first dance DH stopped about halfway through, got down on one knee and sang to me. THAT'S when I broke down and bawled!!!!!!!

OMFG what an awesome moment to capture! She is too cute for words! I could totally imagine getting emotional at that moment!

Re: Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

I got all choked up during the vows. So I'm trying to compose myself and DH is like, 'Get it together!' and that made me start laughing and forget what I was supposed to repeat after the priest. I had to ask the priest to give me my line again, and then everyone was laughing. It was a sweet moment.

Re: Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

No-surprisingly since I cry easily! I was just so happy---got out a lot of crying prior to that and at the rehearsal...only had tears during my sister/MOH's speech.

Re: Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

I did not cry during my vows but I almost started crying when I came down the aisle. I did not look at anyone so I was able to remain calm. I was hysterical during the ceremony when I had to light my parents' memorial candles. After that there was no crying for the rest of the night except for when DH and I danced to my parents' wedding song as a tribute to them. Then I was hysterical again.

I didn't cry.....but I had a nervous grin on face the whole time!

My husband is now called Quiver Lips. He was SO emotional that day.

Re: Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

I was smiling all the way up the aisle until I saw
DH up close and then I teared up and kind of paused for a minute. Then when I was saying my vows, I got all choked up and you can hear it in my voice.

Re: Did any bride cry or have tears in her eyes during the ceremony

I almost did, when my dad lifted my veil he told me I would always be his little girl and I started to tear up...but I stopped quick! My dad isnt the mushy kind so it shocked me and it was nice
