Help! I am to be married in July 2005 (second wedding for both). However, we are both very emotional people, he cries easily and i know as soon as i see him cry i will cry. I'm worried i won't be able to regain my composure, and i'll end up sobbing through the whole ceremony. I have plenty of time to "practice" holding back the tears, or whatever i need to do, but any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
Please do not worry about this. Showing emotion is a positive thing. You bring others in when you share your emotions with them. However, if this is very important to you, keep practicing and imagine yourself in the moment. Practice is everything.
Try not to worry - you are half way there by thinking about it in advance. There are often tears at a wedding - and not just the mother of the bride! Never be ashamed to show feelings.

I totally understand how you feel.. I cry even thinking about getting married (out of joy)... I cry at wedding fashion shows and when our 'song' comes on....
its okay to cry.. it shows how happy you are.... if you dont like the idea red eyes in your wedding album, thats a differant story.. The best way to prepare yourself is to be comfotable in your surroundings.... go to the place where you plan to walk down the aisle in advance (with your fiancee), church, garden ect, think about what you will be doing, even practice! getting comfortable with what will happen may keep you focused... also, sometimes being there physically will take a bit of the dreaming, and WORRYING out of it... which can make your emotions build up in anticipation...
good luck and congradulations on your engagemnet! BRIDE
keeping my composure
