You have friends who practice abstinence while married? They're either weird terribly wrong or they have amazing self-control.

I don't think my wife cried. Her mom sure did, though.

Awww. I like your mom. She's a good mommy.

Well, yes, my mom is a good mommy... but I wasn't talking about my mom. I think my mom cried a little. My wife's mom broke down the most, though.

Haha. Wow. I totally read that as "my mom." I bet I just saw the words "mom" and "cried" and attempted (poorly) to use closure.

Yeah, that seems fairly typical of moms, I think. Though I have known some couples who cannot get the groom's mom to let go. Ever, and it creates a lot of stress for the bride...even years down the road.

My mother-in-law cried a bit. Art was the baby and last in the family to get married, so it was kind of the end of an era for her.

I don't know or particularly care what my mom would've done if she'd bothered to show up.



I don't think I had a breakdown so much as a "reality hitting me" time. It's just such a huge step and I hadn't really taken the time to think about what changes it would involve. Thankfully I didn't have a lot to stress over, since Art's family was kind enough to help with nearly everything, including decorations and food, so the only things I really had to do were help my maid make our bouquets and bake the cupcakes together. Small, family-involved weddings for the win!

My wife had a solid stress-out and cry a few hours before things went down. Wedding night too.

Newlyweds have a ton of emotion, expectation and change heaped on them in one day. I think we expect too much for people not to get overwhelmed. I remember walking in the hotel room, having a glass of wine, and my wife and I falling asleep exhausted.
