I didn't cry

oLoonatic

So I got married a few years ago and my wife still doesn't let it go that I didn't sob uncontrollably like "all other men who get married" (and no i didn't shed a small tear either) . Maybe I'm just a heartless disaster but I find it odd that people in general cry at weddings. Unless you're crying because you massively regret it of course.

I can't be alone in this, can I??

That's terrible that you didn't cry.
Imagine it would have upped her profile and made her look good in front of her friends and family!?
Shame in you.

To actually answer you, I have never seen a man cry at his own wedding. Is your missus watching a bit too much TV maybe and creating these expectations?

I don't think I can even remember a film where the groom cries.

Only time I have shed a tear as an adult is my dog dying or immediate family

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

How is that weird? They're tears of joy, remember. You just seem to associate crying with death.

Crying tears of joy is such a great experience

I'm not afraid to admit that I was glassy eyed and a bit fragile at my own wedding.

Was out drinking till 4am the night before.

Tears of joy... Is that possible,.I mean really is it.. more like the head is hanging from a massive hangover and you're an emotional wreck,.the fear an all that lol :-))

Sounds like a bit of an "aren't women just awful" fictional opening gambit to get the ball rolling. A successful one too.

I've been to lots of weddings, the only people I've seen cry are the parents, the drunk aunties, grandparents, a lone speech-giver paralysed by public speaking nerves, and the occasional baby or toddler literally bored to tears.

I did not cry at my own, just the way I was raised, but I don't see it as a weakness.

My brother in law cried a little when he married my sister, and honestly I found it a little touching. But I didn't remotely come close to shedding a tear then either.

Seen it happen once,groom fainted and banged his head on marble floor,when he got up he was bawling

Have you ever cried laughing? In my experience of 'tears of joy' it kinda feels like that but with a lot more emotion!

Ah c'mon its a light hearted thread, lets not bring it down to that. I've yet to see anyone being misogynistic.

My cousin couldn't hold it together at his wedding at all, made it through his own vows kind of alright but lost it about half way through his wife's. I thought it was pretty sweet but knowing him there is a reasonably good chance a hangover played a part.

I cry at most weddings, but then I've also cried (more times than I can count) when I'm eating food that's really nice. Before Christmas It's A Wonderful Life was the answer to a competition question on Newstalk, they played the same clip 3 hours in a row and three hours in a row I had to go and have a little cry. I'm actually pretty stoic when it comes to bad things happening to me, funerals etc but my bar for crying at trivial happy or sad things is very low..

Can't think of any other grooms I've seen crying though, father of the bride a couple of times.

Various reality tv and ****e talent shows have conditioned people to believe that breaking down and crying over every minor event is quite normal, even to be expected.

It's fcuking ridiculous, unless your dog's died or you've been kicked really hard in the balls, harden the fcuk up and keep it together.

Very very unusual thread!

So you didn't cry getting married. I'd say the vast majority of men don't. But cry a lot in a year or two!!

Church on Tuesday

Ah, Unholy Deadlock.

Many don't cry when a parent or child does. But are dying inside.

People are different.

Your wife watches too many movies and soaps... it's like boys expecting sex in reality to be like porn. :rolleyes:

jim o doom

I've had tears rolling down my face I was laughing so hard, yes.. but I don't regard that quite the same as "crying from joy".

I was probably crying from the pain in my ribs. I half thought I was going to die I was laughing so hard.

Even in cheesy Four Weddings and a Funeral the men didn't cry at weddings.

Even duckface just boxed Hugh Grant.

At a wedding where we all cried with laughter when the groom got the ring stuck on the wrong finger..

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 ball like a baby at weddings, proper old softy over here.

I've been to a lot of weddings and only recall the groom welling up at one of them. He was American too, so almost to be expected from a yank!

It's a wedding FFS not a divorce!!:pac:

Tell her you tried to cry, but you were still very dehydrated from the stag night..... or from banging her bridesmaid.

My husband didn’t cry at our wedding, and neither did I. I’m usually in floods at weddings, but I’ve only been to one wedding where the groom cried, and that was during the speeches - he was bricking it about the speech so I suspect they were tears of relief that it was nearly over.

sweetie

Our wedding, no. Our daughter's birth, unashamedly yes!

Dakotabigone

No tears, had a stub of a stalk alright.

frag420

Just tell her you were crying on the inside...of your pants!!

EdgeCase

I remember years ago being at a wedding with my grandmother and the bride, groom and various other people were balling their eyes out. She just said : "You'd think someone died! - Bunch of drama queens the lot of them!"

One of my brothers threw up with nerves getting to him at his wedding if that counts as an emotional reaction?

Threw up on the way out the car window .... or threw up at the altar over the wife and the priest and the first couple of rows - cos that could kind of ruin the day.
