How to not cry

I'm going to sob and there's nothing I'll be able to do to stop it. Just roll with it.

I'll definitely cry. Actually I've decided not to write our own vows so I don't end up with snot all over my face. Kmsl

I'm screwed! If I see anyone tearing up, I'm done. LOL

I think we found our processional song last night - no words/classical; but I was listening to it again on my way home from work tonight...yep, crying n driving :o

I cry over everything .. literally every thing. I still cry when I hear our song. BUT Believe it or not .. I did not shed one tear the entire ceremony. I am thinking I was just too overwhelmed to cry- if that makes sense. I figured sobbing was guaranteed, but everyone was watching me so I felt weird about crying. lol I dk if I'm just weird but, you may not cry at all!

Ya I got nothing, I cried my eyes out at both ceremonies. The hospital one because my father was dying and the happy one as well.

Somehow my mom has correlated the crying at the ceremony at my first wedding (he cried, I did, the pastor even did), with the correlation that I was knowingly going into a failed marriage.

Thus she expects no tears this time around because this is a "happy occasion"... Yeah don't get me started but now I feel pressure to really keep it together.

My dog will be there so that may help to see her happy face.

I have no advice other than trying to picture everyone naked.

I have no idea what I am going to do. My dad is a huge crier! At my graduation I did not feel an ounce of tears coming until I looked at my dad and he was balling his eyes out. Then my tears began, so I know he will be crying and his cry will make me cry. Not to mention I'm like the rest of people who cannot even listen to their ceremony song without balling. So I'm just going to accept it. And luckily my cousin is a MUA, so she said she'll touch me if need be after the ceremony.

ETA: my cousin is not my MUA for the wedding. She just said she'll touch me up, as she travels with her work products.

FH, our families, our friends, and I know that I'll just cry through the entire thing. We were talking about speeches, and I told him that I just wanted MOH, BM, and us to thank our guests for coming. He was mad, because he knew he would be the only one that would talk, because I would be too busy crying!

I didn't think I'd cry but now I might after this

Lolololol "blubbery asshole"!! I'm dying hahaha

You would be surprised I can't even keep my eyes tear free when I'm watching sad movies. I am the one who cries if I see someone else cry and yet on my wedding day there was not one tear. I said my vows and didn't even tear up once.

Oh. This is a GOOD question. I started worrying about this when I held my bouquet. Worried I'm going to be a gushing mess trying to get down the aisle.

Nope, I'm not telling you all of the horrible things you could think of that would interfere with one of the purest moments of your life. Let is flow, if that's how you feel. Don't force a single tear if it's not real. You will never know how you're going to react until you actually walk that aisle -- and that's part of the magic. Submit to it. Do whatever feels natural. You will not be judged, one way or another. And just remember, after the super serious stuff is over, you have one intense party to attend.

Clear your throat & try to cough a little. sounds funny but works for me, lol

I, surprisingly, didn't cry & I tend to be a highly emotional person. I was too nervous to. But, my advice is to wear waterproof eye liner & mascara & have a glass of wine before hand. Good luck!

I had a first look and still cried. Like. Bawled. One of my best friends started doing our readings, she started crying, then laughing, then apologizing for it. It made me laugh. Then, my husband was crunching on a cough drop the whole time. Everyone could hear it. It was a crying laughing mess from all of us and it was perfect.

Highly recommend a first look!!! We got all the tears out then. I still got choked up during our vows but we made it through the ceremony tear-free! DH's brother, the best man, cried like a baby throughout haha.

I will probably ugly cry all the way down the aisle! But I really don't want to do a first look and neither does FH.

Are you/did you carry anything - like a handkerchief or something to wipe your tears? How did you carry it?

Deep Breaths lol no guarantees
