Moments That Bring Tears: A Compilation of Heartwarming Scenes That Break Down Your Emotional Barriers at Weddings

Tears, Tears at the Wedding

The wedding day is filled with moments that stir the heart. From getting misty-eyed at the congratulatory words from guests to bursting into tears during a surprise, or even shedding tears upon seeing her father's tears for the first time...

A wedding is a place to express gratitude to those who have supported you throughout your life. Because it’s a day where you can openly express your emotions, it’s not uncommon to find yourself in tears.

Some brides even say, "I've never cried so much in my life!" Let's take a look at the scenarios where brides are most likely to shed tears.

Tearful Moments! Emotional Wedding Scene #1: First Meet

On the wedding day, the first moment when the bride shows her wedding dress to her groom is the "First Meet."

It's an irreplaceable moment when you realize, “Today, I’m truly marrying this person.”

Many grooms feel their eyes well up when they see the bride in her pure white wedding dress.

Seeing her groom's emotional reaction often makes the bride tear up as well.

Brides who have already shown their dress during fittings might consider reading a surprise letter after the First Meet for added emotion.

Tearful Moments! Emotional Wedding Scene #2: Veil Down

A popular moment during the ceremony is the "Veil Down." Before walking down the aisle, the bride’s mother lifts the veil.

Building a new family through marriage represents independence from the family you grew up in. The Veil Down moment, which conveys this “leaving the nest,” often brings tears to both the mother and the bride.

Tearful Moments! Emotional Wedding Scene #3: Intermission

The intermission during the reception, when the bride changes her outfit, is also an emotional scene. During this time, the bride is escorted by someone she particularly wants to thank as she leaves the room.

It is traditional to surprise that person with a special selection. The unexpected choice and the grateful words from the bride and groom often lead to overflowing tears.
