Uncontrollable Crying

Sunday, March 08, 2009

People cry at weddings. This happens just about every time. Parents, friends and family, the bridal party, the bride and groom. When it comes to the bride and groom most are very relaxed if they shed a few tears. But what if you are the bride who can't get more than two words out without feeling stressed by the crying?


Who knows what triggers this response however for one bride it took a few extra rehearsals for her to feel comfortable. I also suggested the bride say her vow first (repeating the vow after me) which really helped.


On the day of the wedding, I met with her before she walked in to the ceremony and we rehearsed her vow one more time... and yes, she cried. Not just a few tears but almost uncontrollable... she did it one more time and she was a bit more relaxed and started to laugh... then she was right to walk down the aisle. When it came to the moment she was fabulous....just a few tears but she was able to enjoy it so much more.

How do you manage the uncontrollable tears at moments like these?
