A lot of you have probably seen this thing going around the internet lately - the list a husband made about why his wife is crying. My husband and I also saw it and had a good chuckle about it, because I also cry at the drop of a hat.
The hilarious list struck me as the perfect opportunity to address something very important. Here it is. I am probably going to cry at your wedding. There - I admitted it. I mean obviously I won't cause a scene with audible weeping or become incapacitated by the swelling tide of my emotions. I promise you won't even notice it. But the thing is I adore people, love, and weddings. They are beautiful, happy, and just generally emotional. And I love my clients. I get a little choked up at pretty much every wedding I photograph. I should add "weeping discreetly" and "taking pretty photos through a misty veil of tears" to my resume under special skills.
So without further ado, I present to you:

So without further ado, I present to you:
Reasons Why I'm Crying At Your Wedding
1. Your dog is wearing a bow tie and/or other canine formalwear. That is way too cute for a person like me to handle.
2. There are photos of your cat there. And I know how much you want her to be there with you on this day but she hates new places. And now I am thinking about how much you miss your cat and how much I miss my cats.
3. The ring-bearer and the flower girl are adorable. Ok - so really anything with children or animals = me probably crying.
4. I am thinking about your hypothetical future great- grandchildren finding a box full of your wedding photos and looking through them.
5. The trees at your wedding venue are tall and majestic.
6. Either you or one of your wedding guests is also crying.

7. The readings, songs, or vows are beautiful. Bonus crying if one of you sings to or with your new spouse.

8. The light is perfect. It's perfect and we have to run towards it and frolic in it.
9. You two are just so in love and happy, and everyone is so happy for you. Everything is so beautiful, and it is too much for my little heart to handle all at once.
