Mr. Kiwi is dead inside. Man will not cry at anything, while I cry at the fact that he doesn’t cry. Since I’ve known he’s like that, it’s okay, I can deal with it, but when I lovingly asked him if he would cry when he saw me walk down the aisle, he snorted and said, “Not a chance.” What? What kind of future husband IS this? The most emotional day of our lives, and not ONE tear?
When I see these bios with pictures of the grooms tearing up whilst opening their day-of gifts from the bride, I get all excited. I want to see Mr. Kiwi so happy that it moves him. Instead, what I’ll be getting will be a dry-eyed Mr. K. He’s not a person who cries, he says. So, instead of the beautiful pictures of the emotional bride and groom, we will have Mr. Kiwi, smiling, and me, giving him the old stink-eye.
Unless I resort to wearing a mask of an alien (the one thing Mr. Kiwi is terrified of), Mr. Kiwi will be completely stoic. What the hell, man. If he doesn’t shed a tear during the birth of our first child (when I have to have a 12lb baby [the average in his family]), he will be feeling some pain. I will get my tear, damnit!
Do you think your SO will tear up?
I didnt think he would be he informed me that he is sure he will cry. In the 11 years we have been together he has only cried due to death or grave illness in our families so I was happy to think he would be able to cry at a joyous event for once.
I think my FI will either be extremely nervous or smiling from ear to ear!!! He expresses his emotions well but I’ve never seen him get more than teary-eyed on rare occassions.
When I was a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding, my brother teared up so much that all of his groomsmen(big, husky athletes) started crying as well. Meanwhile, the bride and all the bridesmaids were calm and collected. During the recessional, one of the groomsmen had to borrow my tissue to blow his nose. It was hilarious!
LOL love this post! hmm…i hope so! it’s the most important day of our lives and i expect a few drops from him. if not, he’ll hear about from me it later. hehe.
i swore up and down i wouldn’t cry at my wedding but now that i think about marrying my bf i get all teary. what a wimp. lol. so maybe mr. kiwi will get teary too once he’s up there and watching you the day of. there’s hope yet!
i think my bf may at least get teary eyed during our ceremony. i’ve only seen him cry once but i think this would be the next crying event for us.
Your fiance sounds a bit like my Dad–it’s not that he’s stoic, he just never cries (and I say this having never seen him cry my whole life, even while he lost each of his parents). That being said, his tear-free wedding photos are nonetheless emotional and beautiful. While his eyes aren’t filled to the brim with tears, you can see his genuine happiness and big grin. Even if Mr. Kiwi doesn’t get teary, I think your photos will be breathtaking.
Maybe we can switch? My FI is sure to cry buckets and our relatives are going to think I’m a total witch when I laugh at him. 
lol this reminds me of friends when monica tries to make chandler cry.
TWELVE pounds?!! yowzers. I think I’d beg for a C-section.
I’m not sure my FH will tear up… but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Neither of us cried, but we had big grins on our faces. I don’t think either of my parents cried either, but DHs mom did!
He actually told one of his guy friends (without any prompting from me!) that he would cry when he saw me. I was shocked!
i will be a total mess for sure! i cry at almost all weddings so i’m SURE i will at my own. as for FI, i think he will. just a little. and, when he does, the photographer and videographer will catch it! muahhh…
Your post reminded my of my fiance and my dad– why am I surrounded by such unemotional men?
My FI will probably get teary. I’ll be teary and smiling so big I won’t even be able to see.
And you never know, Mr. Kiwi might get overwhelmed by emotion when you’re coming down the aisle or when he says his vows. But it’s true, his expression may be just as good as getting weepy.
My dad has always been really emotional and I get uncomfortable when guys DON’T express their emotions. My dad will be bawling before we even start walking and he won’t stop till the whole day is over. I am prepared for this. He gets choked up when we’re just talking about wedding plans.
For one of my friend’s weddings, the groom was a blubbering mess and the bride was just smiley and happy without tearing up. It was really cute.
hmm…I’m not sure if my fiance will tear up. I wanted to say though we shouldn’t bee so tough on our grooms. Ppl express emotion in different ways. I think we can tend to put too much pressure on those we love and have unreasonable expectations for them that just end up disapointing us…I have done this several times with holidays and even mini-vacas. Even if Mr. Kiwi doesn’t shed a tear, dont be upset with him because I’m sure he is feeling much emtion inside.
my fiance is usually just like yours except for recently when we watch movies that have a happy wedding in it (ie. 13 going on 30), i’ve noticed he’s had to wipe away one lonely tear!
i think he will cry. he doesn’t cry alot at movies, except for when a husband or wife dies. and then he gets all choked up.
My Mr. Snow Pea is a big ball of mush. He is so crying! I might stuff my dress with some tissues just for him.
(Ssshhh, he cried when we watched The Notebook kekeke)
You guys are so cute!
You might be surprised! I didn’t think my hubby would cry- and boy was I wrong! It was very touching. I was more surprised that my dad got choked up though… he is definitely not a crier and he lost it when I came down the stairs in my gown and then again when he gave the welcome speech at our recpetion… so you never know!

Teach/Coach @ private schools in LA Engagement Date: March 31, 2006 Wedding Date: November 3, 2007 Venue: Radisson Hotel About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra. I'm currently living in Los Angeles, literally a street over from where I grew up with Mr. Kiwi, my honey of three years. We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
