When this groom couldn't keep his composure while waiting to meet his bride at the altar, we couldn't keep our either.

Grooms listen up. When you're at the altar bawling, there's always a close friend nearby cracking up 😂 Photo by 📷 @_matt_3llis #thejdassociate

We love it when a groom is beautifully moved to tears on his wedding day.

Captured by New York-baseed wedding photographer Joshua Dwain, this groom stood at the altar to wait for his bride and was nearly overcome with emotion.

Clutching his eyes to catch his tears, the man proudly stands as his soon-to-be wife appraoches, and the moment is oh-so sweet.

Listen fellas, there is nothing wrong with shedding a tear or two in the name of love. 

We wish the bride and groom nothing but the best.
