Saturday night.
It was my parents 50th wedding anniversary. They had a big party, 200+ people, and I was the MC. Had a beautiful speech/toast prepared. Practiced it so I wouldn't break down, but alas, the moment got the best of me. I did make it about three quarters of the way through before my voice started cracking and I had to stop and wipe the tears to deliver the last several lines. Everyone told me later that they were crying too so I figured it must have been a good speech.
Otherwise, only when there is some really sad story about someone's kid dying. That always gets to me.
