Why Do Weddings Make Us Cry?
She walks down a pathway covered in blossoming roses to a cave shielded with vines and thorns. The skies are blue yet, adorned with fluffy white clouds.
She walks down a pathway covered in blossoming roses to a cave shielded with vines and thorns. The skies are blue yet, adorned with fluffy white clouds. Her maid of honor follows closely behind her, recovering the brides train from the ground. The wind blows just enough to keep the brides curled haired out of her eyes. She continues to walk, one foot in front of the other. Her father stands at the end of the tunnel in his black tux which is accompanied by a silver tie and a boutonnière. He hides his hands in his pockets as he sways back and forth, waiting to see his daughter on her special day.
The soon to be wed bride inches closer and closer to the grand reveal, her mother stands in a corner not too far away. Her mom begins to touch the tip of her nose to help suppress the drops from rolling down her beautifully made up face. She spent the entire day with the bride, but nothing prepared her for this special moment.
After the father and the bride placed their hands over their eyes and turned around three times, they finally removed their hands and opened their anxious eyes. Surprise and pride washed over his face, soon followed by a stream of tears. Today is the day that he gives his baby girl away.
I stood not too far from them, watching this story unfold. I became absorbed. I felt the tears forming in the corner of my eyes but I made an attempt to hold back. Then I began to wonder“Why am I crying? I just met this family for the first time today for filming”. And it dawned on me, almost everyone cries at weddings.
There is something about weddings that tend to pull on the good ole heart strings. And of course, sometimes we try to attribute the tears to the blooming flowers nearby or the pollen floating in the air. In reality, it’s our hearts overflowing with joy and happiness for the lovely couple.
Standing before a family and watching the affection, excitement, and passion that poured in throughout the day made me look deeply into my own life. I began to internalize the idea of love and what it meant to me. I started to think about the true meaning of family and friends, my present relationship, and what my potential wedding day may be like one day.
I gazed at the couple and noted how in awe they were of each other. I noticed the way the bride’s eyes became glossy the moment her best friend began to cry. I loved how the groom took the bride aside for a secret first dance because they were too shy to do it in front of everyone else. All of these moments were so dear and special. They formed into a time capsule placed in everyones hearts, the attendees, the bridal party, the groomsmen, and even us… the film crew.
We cry because we get a closer look at why this couple loves each other so much. We cry because love has so much power and is able to draw this admiration out of us. We cry because we too hope that one day we will find the same happiness or maybe we cry because we have found that happiness, and we know what a beautifully paved road the couple is heading down.
We may all have different reasons as to why we become misty eyed, but one factor remains the same. Love has the power to bring people together, it has the power to humble us, and to make us appreciate life.
What are some reasons that a wedding might make you cry?

Live from The Prosper Show & Shoptalk: 5 Best Tips to improve your online business
Here are the best 5 take away from our week long conference at Shoptalk & The Prosper Show
THE Golden Rule: Treat Your Customers How You Would Want to Be Treated.
5 Ways to Improve Your Online Business
eCommerce is a forever evolving world. There are always new apps and services that can help expand and improve the way you shop and sell online. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend The Prosper Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show drew in people from all walks of life with a common goal of gaining inside knowledge. The Prosper Show held presentations with many CEO’s and experts from leading companies around the world. As soon as I walked through the doors of the exhibition hall, I was submerged into a world that I barely knew existed. Throughout the span of of 3 days, I learned a few very important and vital lesson on how to improve an online business and now I am here to share them with you! Here are my 5 take aways from The Prosper Show.
Use Your Companies Testimonials as A Marketing Tool.
Sometimes people are hesitant to patronize a company they know absolutely nothing about. No one wants to be the first guinea pig. So to help combat peoples fears of spending their hard earned cash, use testimonials to help ease their doubts. Your company and product can benefit from testimonials which will showcase how amazing your commodity can be.
Sell on Multiple E-commerce Sites
There are a plethora of programs that allow you to track and update your eCommerce stores all in one place. It’s important to crack the code and learn how to optimize different tools to gain greater income revenue. One exhibitor that I found very interesting at the convention was Big Commerce. The representatives at the booth mentioned that selling on multiple platforms could potentially allow you to triple your sales and income.
Use Key Crawler Words on Your Website.
After roaming the hall, I came across a great amazon based company called Merchant Words. This company focuses and researches key words that help drive a potential customer to your amazon store. If your not on amazon, be sure to do some research on different “crawlers” to make sure your webpage is featured when certain words are googled or searched on any other engine.
Highlight The Benefits of Your Product
Many businesses tend to focus on their product’s features instead of the benefits. If you highlight how the product can potentially influence the consumers everyday life, it creates a feeling of “need”.
Golden RULE: Treat Your Customers How You Would Want to Be Treated.
A lot of times, this goes without saying, but honestly… customer service is key. No one likes to be treated poorly! If customers feel like their business is valued (even during the not so pleasant encounters) they will always return. Also, they won’t fail to mention the companies customer service strengths to their friends as well as in online reviews. Word of mouth is one of the most efficient marketing tools therefore it’s important to keep the client satisfied, even if that involves a compromise.
Check out some behind the scenes video & photos from the week!
