Getting married is one of the most special moments of our lives. We finally get to spend all our time with the one we love, start a family, and have a beautiful life ahead. Marriage is a not all roses, there is struggle, there are fights but in the end of every disagreement, you still want to be with that person for the simple fact that you love him/her.

This Reddit thread asked, “what were you honestly thinking when your wife was walking down the aisle towards you during your wedding?” and while some answers will move you, some will make you laugh!

1. Such a sweet sentiment. Lucky woman!

“She was really close to her dad and he passed away two weeks before our wedding. As she walked down the aisle I couldn’t help but think how beautiful her dad would have thought she looked and how proud of her he would be.”

 

2. The concerned groom.

“Please don’t trip.”

 

3. Yeah, because who wants bad pictures of their wedding day?

“Thank goodness the sun came out 5 minutes ago or she’s gonna be MAD.”

 

4. When you know that it is the RIGHT thing to do!

“It felt like a constant euphoric rush, and one of the few times in my life that I profoundly felt that I was doing something right. We’ll be married 20 years this summer.”

 

5. Lol! A practical question.

“We walked down the Aisle together, as that’s tradition in Norway. I was mostly thinking “Where the fuck do I look?”.

 

6. That’s some relief

“We eloped, so my first thought was “oh good, she made it.”

 

7. Aww… Even men’s hormones get better of them, sometimes.

“I bawled my eyes out. It was embarrassing. Not nice silent little tears, full on ugly crying when I was trying to read aloud my vows.
She laughed at me. I love her.”

 

8. When your dad’s advice actually works!

My dad used to tell me all the time that I should try and ask out girls I thought out of my league as I might surprise myself. So I did, and then asked her to marry me, and she said yes to that as well. I was thinking of this as she came in. While she was walking down the aisle, my Dad leaned in and said, “You know how this happened?” I smiled, and nodded, thinking he was pleased with his advice. He then said, “‘Cos I don’t (know), you lucky bastard.”
Dad-joked at the altar.

 

9. A manly cry would do!

Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. God, she and my MIL are bitches for winding my up about getting her a stupid dress, she looks gorgeous. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry.

 

10. This describes the process perfectly!

“Oh my god…….she’s more beautiful in this moment that I’ve ever seen her. You’re not breathing. You’re not breathing. You still aren’t breathing. Ouch, fuck, why does my chest hurt? Holy shit, there’s a huge lump in my throat. Is that why I can’t breathe?? Oh man, here she comes. Shit is getting blurry…..JUST. BREATHE!”
GASP
I didn’t pass out or anything. I was literally for the first time in my life 100% breathless. It was fucking scary and amazing all at the same time.

 

11. Fair enough!

“So, we both waited for marriage to have sex. I kept thinking “I’m getting laid tonight!”

 

12. The Chan-Mon style.

“I was pretty upset about how much we had spent on the wedding. ( I don’t believe in fancy weddings, but it was her dream so I went with it..plus…happy wife happy life, right?) As soon as I saw her walking down the aisle I thought “I could have paid 30 times over the amount to live this moment over and over again”

 

13. When she scares you by making you think she is going to be the runaway bride!

I’m standing at the “altar” (we were married by a judge, at an upscale catering hall, with about 150 guests) with my best man, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen and flower girl all make their way up the aisle to the music from a string quartet. The quartet pauses and goes into Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, as my bride, flanked by her parents, starts up the aisle toward me.
After about four steps, she starts lagging back, and now, her folks are nearly dragging her. Oh, shit, is she gonna bolt?!
Finally, they deliver her to me, and she smiles and says, “Hi, Ricardo” (my pet name).
I ask her if she was trying to back out, and she laughed and said, “No! I was trying to slow my parents down – they were nearly running up the aisle!”

 

14. Sarcasm takes a little time to register!

I was in the front row for my Brothers wedding, The Bridesmaids (wearing pink) walking down the aisle, followed by his wife in a White dress.
My Brother turned round and said to me (I will never forget this)
Bro: The one in white is mine, right? (Sarcasm)

 

15. The ultimate bromance!

Image Source
My best man whispered in my ear and told me it wasn’t too late for us to call off the wedding and for me and him to run away together. So I was laughing pretty hard while my wife walked down the aisle!

 

Being with someone who loves you unconditionally is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. And these reactions sure make me want to get married soon!
