Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

I almost lost it I was fine until my dad took my arm & he was shaking....then the limo driver made a joke about going to AC & its not too late & that broke the seriousness. I was fine then until I got halfway down & saw Ray & then I lost it.

In our wedding video you can see my shoulders and my chest heaving because I was breathing so hard trying not to cry.

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

I didn't cry, I just kept smiling which helped.

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

i actually took a shot before walking down the aisle! that helped because i was starting to lose it.

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

I cried - and I was kicking myself afterwards. I made it about 3/4 of the way down - and then I was bawling. Damn DH for looking so cute!

ETA: Obviously they were happy tears. It is very overwhelming. Just try to prepare yourself for all the people and your FH looking so happy and cute!

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

I just looked straight ahead at DH & that kept me together!!! I didn't cry the entire ceremony but cried our first dance!

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

I drank two Mimosas right before the limo got there-thats when I started to get really nervous/anxious

In the limo, dad and I did not speak too much both nervous we would say something to make the other cry....Dad told limo driver to put on Hot 97 (too funny thats my dad) and once we got to church-I peaked a look at DH (he couldnt see me) once I saw him I felt a bit better...walking down the aisle I had tunnel vision-all eyes were on him, not to the right, not to the left... and I was okay-deep breath, have dad tell a joke...Helped that mom was on one side, dad on the other, in case I couldnt stand lol You will be okay!

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

i have an idea

look at me the whole time - i will start picking my nose and then you won't cry

would i do that for you? OF COURSE I WOULD sacrifice my very dignity!!!!!!!!

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

If you feel like you're going to cry... just cry. Don't try to hold it back b/c that's what I did and I had my head down the whole time walking down the aisle!! Keep your head up and look right at your soon to be husband!

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

I thought I was going to cry but I didn't! I almost did when my dad lost it for a second, but then the excitement took over!

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

I was actually surprisingly calm the whole day...the limo ride..calm...at the church calm.....when i was walking down the aisle it was just like this wave of happiness came over me...when i saw don i almost teared up...but then it just went away b/c the calm came over me again...then during our vows when he was saying them to me, i almost lost it, b/c he was getting choked up...but still stayed calm...i really don't know what came over me....i thought i was going to be a mess, but instead i was calm, and collected.

Re: Hehhe...How do you NOT cry walking down the aisle?

I am the biggest sap - I cry at EVERYTHING! And the weeks leading up to the wedding I cried even thinking about walking down the aisle....I was so emotional. However, the night before and that day I was cool as a cucumber - I have no idea what it was that came over me, but several people said the same thing....a calm just comes over you. I was fine and DH was crying!
