Nigerian Singer Olawale Olofor popularly known as Brymo has given reasons every man should cry on his wedding day.
Brymo gave the reason why countering the opinion of a Twitter user, who argued that men are not supposed to cry on their wedding day.
The Twitter User had written:
”A man shouldn’t cry on his wedding day. If anyone should cry, it’s the bride’s father. He knows what it takes to have a daughter that’s worth being another man’s wife. And he’s relinquishing his authority to him. Why are you crying when you’ve not even done anything? End.”
Brymo replied:
”Person raise daughter to full grown woman, you show up, say cos na marriage you take her father name replace am with your own. What have you done to deserve that she bears yours for last name ??.. – what do you think it’ll cost you ?.. every man should cry about that too.”
When a man is emotional, it doesn’t mean he is weak. We all experience different emotions and it is definitely okay for grooms to tear up on their wedding day.
Some men cry at their wedding when they see their bride, all dolled up in a beautiful gown, the moment becomes more real to him. The tears might even show up when exchanging vows because he can’t believe he’s finally marrying the love of his life. This special time can make even the manliest man tear up.
It appears that grooms are becoming increasingly emotional on their big days. While food, drinks, gorgeous attires and all those good stuff are the commonest things one would normally see at a wedding ceremony, it is also quite common to see few tears here and there.
Many people believe that men shouldn’t cry, or that they should hide their emotions. But in truth, crying can be healthy and beneficial at times, no matter your gender. Crying has a number of health benefits. Research suggests crying can soothe you, lift your mood, and even reduce pain.
Research has found that in addition to being self-soothing, shedding emotional tears releases oxytocin and endorphins. These chemicals make people feel good and may also ease both physical and emotional pain. In this way, crying can help reduce pain and promote a sense of well-being. This is why crying is healthy for men.
