Today, I got married. It was a beautiful ceremony with all of our family and friends. Too bad it ended with us leaving the reception before dancing even started, since my groom couldn't stop bawling his eyes out from all the stress. FML

OP here! Just to clarify, I was very understanding of his stress. We both actually suffer from anxiety so it was a hard day in general. This was going to be his first night moved out from his parents though and change is always hard. Once we woke up the next morning I showed him we got published and we were both excited! haha no hard feelings on either side:) The honeymoon has been great. It's so nice to get away from everyone:) Thank you for all the kind wishes! We are both so excited to be married to each other as best friends.

I cried when my girlfriend said "I love you", so I'd imagine I'd probably cry at my wedding too. It's not okay to cancel the whole thing though.

Maybe it'll get better when the honeymoon comes around ;) Congratulations by the way!

Aww, well at least you can continue the fun in private.

Congratulations on your new life. Start it together and know that when it comes time for the baby how he reacts to stress.

F both your lives! OP, that's obviously terrible for you, but as someone who hates crowds and especially being the center of attention in them, I'd probably bail on my own reception as well! One of the many reasons I'm not getting married ever. At any rate, I hope the honeymoon, when it's just the two of you with no outside pressure, makes up for it.

Well yea he cried, its probably the worst day of his life. I remember when I got married we had the ceremony later and couldn't afford a honeymoon. I just kept telling her, "This is your day. Go have fun. I'm getting drunk and going to puke out back." In response to her telling me to go have fun. He's probably the same way, it's all stress and no fun for him. It's hell.

The moment I saw, "Today, I got married." I knew this was going downhill. Sorry, OP.

Awww OP. You're so lucky. At least it's better than him NOT crying at all right? Im sure he'll make it up to you on your honeymoon ;)

Yep, because it's up to the groom to make everything with the wedding all about the bride. He has to be punished for not enjoying himself when there's nothing to enjoy.

Is it as much HIS celebration that he and OP get spend their lives together; as much as it is hers. If there was nothing to enjoy about their wedding he wouldn't be marrying her. He probably has anxiety or had too many to drink.

You'll laugh about this someday, OP, maybe not today, or during the honeymoon... But someday...

Awww. I'm sorry. But imagine, weddings are stressful. You're agreeing to spend the rest of your life with this person. Through thick & thin (well back when people took it serious & didn't always run to divorce attorneys) the pressure was probably too much for him to handle.

That's how I felt when my bride cried so much she got a big sty in her eye on our wedding day. She was crying because her parents had passed away and couldn't see her wedding - Or at least that's what she told me.

I've always heard that there's some sort of unwritten law that in every wedding, at least one thing has to go wrong. But congrats on having a beautiful wedding!
