Man Tears!

Man Tears!

I’ll admit it. I really wanted to see tears from Mr. Kitten as I walked down the aisle on our wedding day! Okay, maybe I didn’t want him to break down like this guy, but I was hoping for one little tear, or some seriously watery eyes, at the least!

Mr. K and I aren’t very emotional people. I have only seen him tear up once–when he proposed to me, 2.5 years ago! And I hardly ever cry myself–he has probably seen me cry only a handful of times during our 4.5 year relationship (one of those times was on our minimoon, but I’ll save that for a later post!).

I wrote earlier about our decision not to do a “first look”, which is largely based on the fact that I wanted to save up all that emotion (a.k.a. Mr. Kitten’s tears!) for our wedding ceremony.

Have you ever seen the movie 27 Dresses? In the movie, Katherine Heigl’s character says that her favorite part of a wedding is the grand entrance. But she doesn’t look at the bride, her attention is focused on the groom’s face as he watches his bride walk down the aisle. I couldn’t agree more–there is something so moving about seeing a guy get all choked up because he is absolutely overwhelmed by the sight of his future wife. I absolutely love it!

So did I get the man-tears I was hoping for on my wedding day? Stay tuned to find out!

I think I’ve told my fiance about my desire to get a little weepy looking- I think it’s very sweet. I hope you got the tears- I’m keeping my fingers crossed I do too!

I hope FH gets a little teary, but I think he’ll be so nervous that it won’t happen.
I hope you got a little tears… I can’t wait to see your recaps!

Haha, fun survey. I don’t even know for sure if I’LL be a mess or totally composed — so it’s definitely not fair for me to expect a strong emotional reaction from the mister!

I second AliCherri - I’ve told him how cute I think it is when grooms cry, but I think he’ll be too nervous. I hope Mr. Kitten teared up!

I wrote “he better” even though I don’t feel THAT strongly really- but I’ll admit, I wouldn’t mind a few Man Tears! I’ve definitely seen him cry, not many times, but it definitely happens. I’ve definitely seen him get choked up, too- which is the look I’m hoping for. He looks so sweet when he gets choked up I hope Mr. K teared up for you too!!

I suspect he’ll shed a tiny discreet tear. But I’m fine with it either way. Oh the teasers! Enough already, we want to see the goods, Miss K!!!!

Oh gawd…I know my FI is going to be a mess. on New Years Eve few years ago I walked out of the room all done up and he nearly lost it. Whenever I wear a pretty dress and get real fancied up, he gets all misty. To tell you the truth, I love it

That picture is so funny…I said to myself, “I hope that isnt what her fiance did!” LOL that looks like a “I can’t believe Im doing this” or a “I cant believe they forced me to marry her” cry not a “I cant believe I get to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful woman” or “I am one lucky guy!” cry! If he crys or doesnt cry…”I’m one lucky girl!”.

I dont care if he cries or not (he is sitting next to me) but I would LOVE to see some water in his eyes. He is not very emotional so I wanna get something from him since I will be emotional

I’m pretty sure I can deal with not crying, but if he starts crying, I’m done! So, I hope we can both make it through, sans tears.

Cute post! My husband cried like I’ve never seen. At the first look I had to tell a joke so he wouldn’t start. During the ceremony I had to shake my head “no, don’t do that”…but then I read my personal vows and the waterworks started flooding! I was shocked that I was so composed, all day long, and didn’t cry at all.

I think teary eyed is good, but I’m not expecting a big cry fest. I can’t wait to find out how it turned out!

I’m totally the crier! I may need him to hold it together for me to… I have a feeling we’ll both cry!

We’ll be doing a first look, but I still think he’ll be emotional (not necessarily crying) when I walk down the aisle. It will be a different feeling walking down the aisle with our friends and family, than when it is just us.

We will also be writing our own vows, which I think will add to the possibilities of there being “man tears.”

Oh Mrs. Kitten we are so the same about this… My husband says he’s not afraid too but yep he usually hides his emotions. He didn’t shed a tear and I’m not gonna lie, I was disappointed in the aftermath.
I think he was a bit choked up as he started out saying his vows without looking in my eyes, he was looking downward at my chest! Of course I couldn’t have that so I bent my knees down obviously and brought his head up with my eyes, which caused everyone to laugh and the moment was gone, humorous but raw emotion, yep gone….
Ah well, looks like it will wait till I give him his first child.

I secretly hope for a choked up moment from FI. But considering I was a bawling wreck while reading your post from yesterday, I am pretty sure I will be too emotional to remember : )

Ever since I saw 27 dresses, I always say I’m going to look at the groom, but once I hear the bride come in I totally forget and get caught up in the excitement of watching the bride!
