Groom's Reaction?

Jessica, on September 13, 2019 at 10:15 AM Posted in Planning 0 20

If you're married, how did your groom react? If you're getting married, how do you think he will react vs. how do you hope he'll react? I feel like there's so much pressure on him!

My FH is amazing. Kind, loving, affectionate, generous, funny, easy-going - everything I could hope for and more. The one thing is, he doesn't compliment and says he has a really hard time with it. I'm someone who's love language is words, so sometimes it bums me out. Anyway, I'm trying not to be disappointed if he doesn't say I look beautiful on the wedding day, or if he compliments my earrings or something instead of me. So I guess - how are you or did you manage expectations of your future spouses reaction? Especially when you're marrying someone as they are, not as you'd hope they are. TY Smiley heart Smiley heart

    FH already knows he's going to cry when he sees me on our wedding day, it makes him tear up just thinking about it. Couldn't ask for more than that Smiley heart

    Mine always cries at weddings. I am hoping he can keep it together so I don't cry too but we will see!

    My FH isn't one for giving many compliments either. It does get old at times having to ask if I look OK. I think he'll get emotional though. When I took him to my HS reunion just before we got engaged he gasped when I was done getting ready and he still tells me 2 years later how pretty I looked. I'm hoping I get more that a "yeah you look good" like usual

    My FH will probably tell me I look beautiful, and then when no one is around he'll probably be like "you're so hot!!" Lol

    You know what's funny is I can't remember. My walk down the aisle I was just so nervous I felt like I was in a dream. I just know he was smiling

    I think I have only seen my FH cry one time in the 8 years I have known him soooo I doubt he will cry and that's okay we me because then I'll cry (even though I probably will well up anyway, but I refuse to let a tear fall and ruin my makeup cuz I am that person). My FH isn't great at complimenting me either. His go to to be funny is "you look like a snack" lol which I like anyway. I wouldn't be half surprised if he said that at the alter lmao but hopefully he'd have some nicer choice of words.

    Oh gosh, I'll just be so happy, I'll just go with the flow. I won't read into what he will say, or might forget to say.
    I know he loves me, and doesn't express his feelings like I do, so I'm ok with it!

    My dress is beautiful, and after my wedding boot camp workouts, im going to rock it, so it doesn't matter what he will say.
    Hopefully, he will be speechless ha ha ❤

    I believe my FH will cry. He got teary eyed during our engagement shoot. That day was so hectic for me and we ended up having to take separate cars to the location. So he didn't see my makeup or hair until I arrived. I almost started crying!

    My husband cried while I was walking down the aisle, but I only know because of pictures.

    I saw him smiling at me while I was walking, and I think that was the happiest moment of my life Smiley smile

    Oh, he's gonna cry. I'm gonna cry. Our parents will cry. My best friend is gonna cry. We're all crying that day. His mom jokingly offered to officiate the wedding but then said she wouldn't be able to because she would cry too much Smiley xd

    My husband cried during the whole ceremony. I knew he would, he is the more emotional one in our relationship. I don't have my pro pics yet but I am hoping they caught some good reactions.

    I told my FH if he doesn't cry when we see each other, I'm leaving and we'll take it from the top as many times as it takes to get the right reaction. Smiley laugh Of course I don't really mean it,but I do hope he cries just a little bit... I have a feeling I might and I don't want to be alone...

    I’m really hoping for no tears. He is more emotional than I am and if I cry (it’s rare, but a lot more with this planning lol) it doesn’t stop. Not sure what he will say bc he is forever complimenting me and I am awful at taking compliments and am bad at saying things like that to him.

    I’m hoping for tears xD. He’s not much of a crier (or really showing any soppy emotions really), so it’d mean even more if he shed a tear when he sees my beautiful self (also a hope xD) walking down the aisle in my gown. He’s said it’s a definite possibility, so we’ll see.

    My husband had the best look on his face when he saw me for our first look. And then he saw me walking down the aisle he choked up and cried a little. Here is a pic from when he first saw me.

    My husband turned around (we did a first look) and he said “you look nice” 🙄
    But I think the pictures show what he felt the best, no words needed

    My FH can be a crier, at least when it comes to me. He cried a little when he saw our engagement photos, although he didn't cry when he saw me in person that morning, ready to go to the shoot. But seeing us together in the pictures got him all teary.

    He's already said he'll cry when we have our first look. In fact, that is one of the reasons he's so in favor of a first look. His theory is that he'll cry a bunch when it's just me and him, so then he won't cry when I'm walking down the aisle, in front of everyone. Yeah, that's a great theory, but there's no way it's going down like that. I know him. He'll cry both times. But once we're all out there, he won't care or probably even notice that there are other people there.

    He doesn't express his feelings very well, but when he feels emotional, it's all over his face.

    I thought for sure one or both of us would cry.

    I couldn't cry because of my contacts, and DH held it together... but both of us just missed crying by inches.

    Our voices shook a little, and we certainly got emotional.

    Our officiant had to ask us to stand a little bit apart - our readers were off to the side, by a mic, and I ended up gripping DH's hand SUPER hard, and then didn't want to let him go. After the sermon, the vows, the ring exchange, and the hand fasting, we had the kiss.

    ...Apparently I pretty much flung myself at DH, which you can see in the video AND in a sequence of photos. Thankfully, DH is rather used to me doing that, so we even have a sweet photo of him holding me between kisses.

    Our photographer had asked for 2 kisses. This is between them, I think.Groom's Reaction? 4
