I love attending weddings and most of the time weddings make me cry. I attended the wedding of my officemate yesterday and as usual I was not able to hold my tears from falling.
When the music started the choir sang I cherish the treasure by steve martin the wedding entourage marched the aisle smilling and full of joy, the groom was teary eyed as well as the parents of the groom and finally it was the parents of the bride to march, they were trying to hold the tears as well like and I can see the struggle to hold it back like me the tears have minds of their own, they dropped one by one. They waited for the bride in the middle and the song IKaw was all over very solemn as if waiting for each of the bride, she was smilling but I can see the tears gathered from her eyes and slowly fell, it was then that the tears from my eyes just started falling from my eyes and fro the eyes of my officemates beside me.
I felt ashamed for being so emotional and tried to dry my eyes from the tears and just tried to stop them form falling.
Its tears of joy seeing her walk the aisle and tie the knot.
Are you emotional on weddings like me?

I haven't been to a wedding in many years. I have been known to shed a few tears though and it is out of pure joy for the ones to be married. I would have to bring extra make-up, because I would need to freshen up when it was all done.

The last few weddings I have attended have been real emotional for me.
My sister's wedding last year really hit home. I still look at her like she's five...and now she's a married woman. WOW! Still shocks me.
My mother married my step-father about 10 years ago and at that wedding I was real emotional too.
I get emotional for TV/movie weddings too though LOL.

Sometimes I cry at weddings, but not usually. There has to be a special circumstance to cause it.It is great to celebrate a happy occassion with a friend.

Yes, its more on tears of joy than tears of laughter and we are there to support them as they make their vows and pledge their for each other.

Its one of the most impotant events of our lives, and we invite our friends to witness our pledge to love forever.

I've been to a countable number of weddings & so far, none have made me cry. I think the closest I got was when I went to a lady I worked with's marriage to a guy from another office. I was really touched when her grown sons walked her down the aisle to "give her away."
The closest I've ever been to being part of the wedding party was when my then roomie was the maid-of-honor. The bride changed at our place, I had to take her to the church, arrange the flowers - yuk!
At least with my brother's wedding all I had to do was show up for a few showers & wear a fancy dress - not even an ugly one since I wasn't part of the wedding party like my sister.

yes, we tend to be evry emotional when either of the couple are close with us, and when you know how they have survived over the years and ended up getting married.

I have only been to 3 weddings in my whole liftime and I only cried at one. The only one I cried at was my own wedding. I know quite a few people that easily cry at weddings and I honestly don't think it is anything to be ashamed of. I never thought or think any less of people that cry at weddings!

I find weddings really boring, unless of course it's an "original" wedding. The only wedding i will shed tears at is my daughter's, that is if she chooses to get married.

Well it depends on each individuals I find wedings as sweet and romantic event and I just get carried away.

I never had cried at a wedding until my oldest got married. Then I struggled to not to cry too much, but it was hard.

HellO!
I'm a very sentimental person at the same a cry baby. I love weddings like you and I love witnessing two people make a vow on their love for each other. I'm always emotional on all the weddings that i've attended to. I don't cry though as I try not to and it depends on who's wedding is it. If it's just a common friend, not a close one I don't really get too emotional. But if it's a close friend of mine's wedding or any member of our family I always cry. It's kinda funny because the "i do" part is where I become emotional and sentimental. *smiles* Thanks for sharing.
ciao! :D

Thats good for you, you sound so tough. I am just emotional but sometimes I try to block the tears so that they wont fall.

That sounds like a really beautiful wedding.
I have trouble keeping it together at that type of thing too.
I am very emotional.
even when I watch weddings on tv, on those reality show type things.
I always cry with those lol.
maybe it's just a female thing :)

Yes it was a very wonderful wedding, maybe because we were close with the bride.

I am terribel..I cry a lot because I have been so unhappy..in that sphere of life..I also pray that the couple make the most of things and don't waste this great opportunity and don't take each other for granted. Happiness like this doesn't come our way so easily any more so I always say my prayers for the couple in between the tears that they realise how blessed they are and that they treasure each other forever if they can..

Yes, i like it simple and solemn and what matters most is the ceremony. I dont want to spend so much and regret it in the end.Its ok to have a very simple but very memorable one.

oh yes, I am as emotional as you when it comes to wedding..I cried on my wedding day..I have said many times before I won't cry on my wedding day but I failed. I held back on my bridal march but not when I was saying my vows..I totally messed up and all our guests cried too.:)
Most of the weddings I attended were emotional, I always cry during the exchange of vows,bridal march and of course the part where the bride and groom honor thier parents..:(

Usually the bride cries on her wedding day, my friend told us that she will not cry on her wedding day but she was not able to stop it from coming, though there were tears in her eyes she is smiling widely. Its sort of a mixed emotions.

I'm not usually teary at weddings, but I know a friend who always is! and she doesn't even need to be very close to the bride and groom for her to get all emotional.
It's kinda strange cos at my wedding I didn't cry, but quite a few of my friends did cos they were so touched by our speech!
Sometimes it's just the beauty of the moment and the fact that two people are making lifelong promises to each other. and sometimes it's the way they thank their parents for bringing them up. the latter is a significant feature of weddings here. I"ve seen grooms to cry when they thank their parents. it's allvery emotional. :)

Yes, these people who cry on weddings are those who are truly happy that you have finally tied the know and promise to love each other forever.

Maybe be its tears of joy, I feel corny but when I see my friends cry too I am relieved and just wipe the tears.
