How not to cry during my ceremony?!?!

Oh man ... I don't know. I'm kinda in the same boat. I don't get teary eyed right now but I just have this WEIRD feeling that I will start crying the moment I am walking down the aisle and I see my FH for the first time. I'm trying to keep a game plan of what I'm going to do but I have no idea. Just keep tissues handy! That's all I've got!!!

I know for a FACT I will cry like a baby

That exactly how I'm going to be... Even more now that we are engaged. At a wedding my FH and I went to last month, I bawled the whole time. My FH just laughs at me lol. He thinks it's funny.

I'm hoping that the day off I won't be like that. I thought I was going to cry when I went dress shopping, but actual I didn't even shed one tear.

Take a xanax.

Do a first look to calm your nerves!

I plan on taking something. I'm the ultimate crying machine. Everybody who knows me knows I cry at everything so there's just no controlling it. I was a sobbing mess at my brothers wedding and again at my best friends. I do not wanna do that at my wedding. I will still be emotional. Just not as bad. I've heard 1st looks help a lot with emotions but I'm not doing that.

Push your tongue to the roof of your mouth. It's sounds crazy and I don't know the science behind it but I read that tip online and it has worked for me! Also, deep breaths, force yourself to smile (don't let your lips quiver), look up and blink if you feel tears coming.

This may sound terrible...but when I married my first husband...I spent most of the time looking over his shoulder so I wouldn't look into his pretty eyes and cry. Haha in pictures it looks like I am looking right at him so it worked well.

We did a first look and read our personal vows privately to each other at the hotel before the ceremony. We got all of our crying out then (We were both in tears the entire time) and just got a little bit teary during the ceremony. The videographer actually had us read our vows twice to each other because he said we were both crying so much the first time he could not understand what we were saying so we did another retake for his video.

We had the officiant personalize the ceremony for us so it seemed a little different from the typical ceremonies you hear so guests did not feel completely left out by not hearing our personal vows. My husbands mom was sitting right in the front and as soon as she broke down and started crying no one else could even look her way or they would start crying too.

I'm going to be a blubbery mess. I bawled when we got engaged and I knew the ring was in his pocket. And I bawl at every wedding there after!

I might be an oddball, but why would you try not to cry?? Weddings are beautiful! I cry at every single one I see and I don't care!

I will cry on my wedding day and I will love every minute of it!

Haha I'm not trying to be emotional. It's going to be an amazing day. But we are paying so much for make up and photography i would just rather not look like a hot mess afterwards. And thank you everyone for the advice. I hope I can keep it together!!!

I'm a crier too!

My wedding hasn't happened yet, but one thing that helps me in other situations is to very gently bite one side of my tongue and then focus on the feeling. I sometimes do what kaylarae suggested too!

Maybe test it out this weekend and see if it works for you. You could watch The Notebook or something.

Looking up and to your right is supposed to keep the tears from coming. A friend told me that once but I don't know if it works. I say something neutral to myself, like yellow door when I'm getting emotional and it calms me down a bit.

Kaylarae is so right! These tricks work.

Push your tongue on the top of your mouth

Look up and blink

Just accept it - and wear waterproof mascara.

I also carried an antique lace handkerchief so I was able to dab at my eyes to prevent my makeup from going anywhere.

I'm telling my MOH to keep me amused the whole day. I know I'll cry anyway, but I'm counting on my BMs to keep me lighthearted. Haha.

I thought I was going to cry, and teared up every time I thought about it. But my bridesmaid, who had been married before, made me a bet right before I walked down the aisle--that she owed me a drink if my husband cried before I did. Something like that. And it just took that lighthearted distraction to kind of snap me out of and I didn't cry the whole time.

I mean that is something you really can't control. I know I will be balling my eyes out but I don't really mind my crying is too horrific.

Have your tear ducts removed?
