Re: Why do Brides Cry?
You know that scene in “father of the bride” with steve martin, when the girl plays basketball in the middle of the night before her wedding, and her dad joins her and it starts snowing? That’s why people cry at weddings- leaving childhood and carefree times behind, the comfort of parents, and even if your family is still there, it’s just not the same and you feel emotional- not sad, not happy, just nostalgic and emotional :`)
Don’t know how to embed the video, but here’s the link on youtube:
And brides probably don’t cry as much these days because they’ve been living on their own for a while and that familial connection is not as ever present as it is when one is living at home. Also brides are getting married at later ages, so its not as emotional as a transformation as it is if you’re in your teens or early 20’s
