We had some surprising poll results this go ‘round! You all, and your spouses, more or less split evenly between criers and non-criers at your wedding.
I would have thought things would tip more heavily to yes. Huh!

Onward to your stories! There were so many great ones, my gosh. If you need to have a good cry, I’d suggest going back to read them all. I actually had to stop about halfway through the comments, while putting this post together, because I was crying and didn’t want my husband to catch me weeping into my coffee when he got out of the shower. (Oh yes, I cried at my wedding. I think it was during the “all the days of my life” part, which? Hmm. Let’s not think too much on that one!)
We’ll start with a funny one, from TorchyBlane:
Me; about five minutes of sniffles, plus a few private tears with my husband after the ceremony
Husband; a single manly tear dripping down his nose during the vows, hence my sniffles
My dad and little brother; full-on SOBBING in each other’s arms that necessitated the brother having to go to another room to recover
I come from a sentimental people.
Speaking of man-tears! OMG!PONIES! more or less killed us all with this:
I cried at my wedding as soon as I saw my wife walking down the aisle. I also cried the first time I heard my daughter’s heartbeat on the ultrasound, when I found out she was a girl, the first time that I held her, and sometimes when I rock her to sleep.
There’s nothing unmanly about crying when you’re overwhelmed by love.
There were so many great Dad Moments, like this one from Backyard Milk & Honey:
