There should be nothing odd or peculiar about a man crying. Tears are an emotional expression of pain, sadness, exhaustion, and pure joy.
Adam Harris' wedding was turned into fodder for internet bullies simply because he dared to be a man who cries.
Sometimes opinions are best left kept to the person who has them. In other cases, bullies can inspire the best in others. Tess Holliday was bullied online for being a size 22, but she turned those negative motivations into a modeling career.
Adam managed to turn internet vitriol into a teaching moment.
When Adam saw his wife Tisa in her wedding dress for the first time, it's clear that he was awe-struck by her beauty.
In fact, the moment almost didn't happen.
“It was raining all day and windy. We were a bit afraid the ceremony wouldn’t happen outdoors like we wanted it to but around noon the rain let up until the end of the ceremony," he told BuzzFeed.
The couple had a beautiful wedding in Dripping Springs, TX.
However, some commenters on the internet seemed to have a problem with Adam expressing tears of joy. He didn't let that upset him, though — check out his response below!

When Adam Harris saw his stunning wife in her wedding dress for the first time he did what any man would do: he cried.
The intense and beautiful moment was captured by the wedding photographer.
However, bullies on the internet attempted to ruin the moment between Adam and his wife, Tisa.
While many asserted that Adam was crying because he would no longer be able to cheat on his wife, others took a more racial route.
But Adam had the perfect response for the haters.
"We agreed not to do the first look because we thought it would be more exciting to see each other for the first time during the ceremony. When it came time in the ceremony for her to walk down the aisle our DJ played 'Beautiful' by Meshell Ndegeocello and the doors above the stairs opened. When I saw her, I couldn’t hold back feelings of excitement and love, she looked gorgeous. Our photographer, Dustin Finklestein, captured the moment perfectly," Adam said of the moment.
“I’ve actively opposed the offensive ones or ones that are plainly not funny. Im a rather level-headed person so I just reacted how I would normally – just to brush it off," he told Buzzfeed about the negative commenters.
