why parents cry when their child is getting married?

i have experience this already in my wedding day,my parents cried as well as my relatives cause they are very proud and at the same time they will miss their eldest daughter.realizing that their child will be separated to them and maybe they cant see you often in the house everyday.but this situation is just temporary cause soon they will be able to recover or just accept the fact that their daughter got married already!most specially if their child is a girl,they say girls are closer to the fathers heart.and in my situation me and my family are very close thats why its hard for them to let go their children when we all get married.and i was still 20 when i got married so its very hard for them to accept the fact that i am getting married at my youngest age!the funny thing is now were just neighbors we can just shout at our windows!and can see often times!

Yes, my mom also cried when I got married. I was also almost in tears because we both know that I won't have much time with them as before. I have to stay out of the house and live with my hubby in our new house which is two hours away from my parents. My mom and I also both know that I will have other priorities. The tears may somehow be a mix emotion of sadness and happiness.

Hi! You see parents cry when they marry their daughters because they, as per the prevailing customs, go to their respective husband's houses and they get separated this way from their parents. It is the agony and pain of separation, which makes a mother or father cry, because parents bring up children and make them grow older and one day, when they get married, they start living separately.

Of course. Any parent would be very happy seeing their children having been happily married and that proves that you now have a big responsibility that you should carry and on the other hand it's sadness to them cause for how many years they've been taking are of you and suddenly you would build your own family already.

i think our parenst cry because they are happy when we meet our soulmate..they is happy they can watch our new history with another person and make a small family..they just happy

Yes, I also remember that my father cries when my eldest sister get married. and when we got home, I asked him why did he cry during the ceremony..and he said that its a mixed of emotions..happy because his daughter grown up so fast and now is getting married,at the same time he's sad because my sister will be apart from us, he'll be missing his eldest daughter he said. But when I got married I never see my father shed a tear.. he he I didn't bother to ask.maybe because its not a big ceremony,unlike our eldest sister. But one thing for sure..parents cry during their child wedding its because they love their child.

Parents cry only on girls marriage, not when boy is getting married..I never was able to understand why to cry...but it could be because of the love they have for you and they think that you are going far from them..they cry not on your marriage but remembering the time they shared with you. the laugh, the joy, the sadness and all the life's ups and downs, where you helped them get rid of all the bad situations... they dont cry remembering present or future, they cry remembering past..the time you spent with them..

My fiance and I are going to be married soon and I hadn't actually thought about either sets of our parents crying but I can see why they would. It's a very emotional day and while right now my fiance and I do not have children, I think it's the fact that the child is getting married, their baby is saying "I do" that makes them cry. It's a huge step, and I think it's tears of joy the parents shed.

For me I think it because the parents of the bride and the groom would surely be missing them. Of course the parents would start to adjust the situation of their family circle...the couple might live of their own already away from their parents. Also the attention of their children getting married would be lessen because they have their own hubbies to attend to...I think those are some of the reasons...but I am sure also that the tears are for joy and loneliness of their children getting married....Cheers!!!

It's a combination of things. Pride, happiness, sadness. They are proud of their offspring growing up well, making a life for themselves. They are happy that someone they care so much about has found someone to love, if they are still married happily they are happy that their child is going to get the chance to experience that as well. And they are sad that their little baby has grown up and is leaving "the nest." It's the same mix of emotions that cause them to cry at graduations, prom, any number of other monumental occasions.

I think they are mostly crying in the marriage of their daughter because they have taken care of her from her childhood and she will leave them and will go to new place. Even though that new might be good but still since there little girl who was always in front of there eyes is going so they are really worried about her. As far as our family is concerned we have witnessed some marriages of my cousins and during those marriages also only girls close relatives such as mother, father, brother, sister, etc were cried

My mother in law cried when I got married to her son. She is a very emotional person and she cries even when she is happy or sad. She is fantastic: she manages to express her feelings that way. Yet my mum or dad didn't cry. I don't remember what they did at my sister's wedding. I wasn't the first child to get married, but the second and last one meaning that there will be no one else in the house with my parents, yet they didn't cry, on the contrary my mum hugged me and have me one of her huge smiles I really loved that!! Well, today I am a parent too and sometimes I do feel too emotional when it comes to things related to my son, so I do understand that the parents feel for their kids a lot.

I've asked my parents why they cry when my sister got married. According to them its actually mixed emotions , its the emotion of letting her go to someone and happiness.

I think parents cry at weddings because their children will now be leaving them and starting their own life. The parents will not get to see their children as much. They are also very happy that their child has found happiness with another person.

I think a lot of the time when parents cry when their kids get married it is because they are happy for their children. That the time has finally come for their child to begin a new chapter of their lives, its almost like starting your life a new with someone you love.

its nature thing what can we do............

I never got married I live with my "husband" or boyfriend well I don't know how to explain. Ok my opinion on your discussion is that we as parents cry because we can't belive that our little baby is geting married because we will always be our parents little baby even if they are 60 years old and we are 30. None of my kids are married jet right now the oldest is 11 and when she told me that she liked a boy and that the boy like her I cried. I know she is just 11 but time passes so fast that I think that the next time she will tell me that she is geting married. I hope that wont happen until shes 30 or 40. :) yes I know I should keep dreaming.

I believe that parents cry when their child is getting better for several reasons. They can't believe how old they have gotten and are going to start a family and move on with their lives, they also have to give up their child who they have raised for so many years and have gone through life with during the good times and the bad. Also another reason is that it is such a beautiful moment for a parent to see their own child living with someone that they love with all their heart.

I am not married yet but my parents cried when my sister got married and even I cried because she will not be going to stay with us anymore and can't see her often as she left to US with her husband. It is quite common for every parent to cry during the wedding ceremony of their daughters.
