A legitimate reason for a man to cry at his wedding is when he thinks about what the whole thing is costing them.

Ahhh - is that what they are referring to when they talk about emotional withdrawal?

Ah yes, the typical 'man up' response. Yeah cos not talking about feelings and not crying in front of others has really worked for men in this country :rolleyes:

I find your defending of modern television's emotionally incontinent cry-porn to be amusing.

Your attempt to link a post in a light-hearted AH thread, to suicide rates among young males, is the kind of attention seeking behavior typical of today's perma-outrage generation.

One of my sister is very susceptible to crying, and did so at her wedding, but so did her husband (and probably more so). It wasn't as pathetic as it could have been, though, as they were sorta laughing too. Everyone else just laughed along...

I never married (and doubt I will) but I couldn't imagine myself crying at a wedding. I'm probably lacking in empathy anyway, if this is anything to go by. (I don't get the contagious yawning when other people do).

I'm struggling to believe this, such is the ludicrousness of the statement that its common for grooms to cry at their wedding.

Have literally never seen it. Its not even popular in TV and Film, where I'm sure it'll infiltrate first before hitting the masses.

I wasn't replying to your comment about TV as highlighted in my post.

I wasn't attention-seeking! I'm sure you comment 'damn millenials' a few times a day :P

I think 2 days of ritual nonsense is the norm now.

You have a whole weekend of pretending to be happy when you'd rather be anywhere else.

Enjoy the carvery food, admire the flowers, wax lyrical about the music/band/speeches/dress and smile for the video/photos (and pray they wont force you to look at them soon after).

A family member is getting married next year 2020. She is having a pre-hen in paris this year with her bridesmaids, the proper hen will be next year god only knows where. I can see her wedding turning into a 2 day event alright, but 1 day is enough for me.

I’ve never cried at any wedding, not even my sisters. I almost cried at a recent wedding I was at as the bride (close friend) was making her way down the aisle. And not because I was feeling emotional for her or anything like that, but because I glanced over at our mutual friend who had absolute heartbreak written all over his face (they had previously been together and he’s still completely in love with her)

Find men that cry a little weird especially things like weddings, birth of their kids etc

Weddings maybe but birth of your kid? What’s weird about that? You’d be a wreck!

I've never seen a groom cry at the altar.

It normally happens during the speeches when a deceased Mum or Dad is remembered.

neither myself or my brother went to the second night of our sisters wedding, we get on with her but one day and night was enough for us, did anyone notice we weren't there? I don't know or care either.

Well the whole point of getting married is to be miserable for the rest of your life so if that doesn't make you weep I don't know what would.
