Have you ever cried of happiness?

Birth of my daughter. When you're so emotional knowing it's not always plain sailing and then you're gifted something out of this world amazing the emotion is just too much and its time to cry
Same, lately I cried of joy in very emmotional moments that are objectively silly. as an example, on one chapter of the Pokemon anime where Ponyta push hard to win a race and end evolving into Rapidash to win. I don't know what is wrong with me but that got me good.

Hard to tell. It can be sadness because such a story comes to an end. It can be hapiness because the Hobbits receive the respect they deserve or again sadness because many will never be seen again in Middle Earth.
I'm no OP, but I would count crying because of being moved (the "my friends, you bow to no one" clause) as a separate thing from crying because feeling joy.
Yup when each one of my three kids were born. Love these guys so much :)
And when I saw my wife in her wedding dress for the first time. Hit me hard that I found the love of my life and was overcome with joy.

Three times, actually. Twice on the birth of my children and once when I opened my Uni degree results and saw I'd got a first class with honors. I was surprised with the latter, to be honest, but I guess a lot of it was relief from the stress of the hard work in the final year.
1980.
Me crying on Christmas morning when I finally got my Captain America figure I wanted all while wearing Superman underoos.

A few times that really stick out to me:
I *might* have cried when the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2013/2014 against Seattle, but I was also really drunk.
By far one of the nerdiest and most embarrassing moments where I choked up was when one of the hosts of a podcast I've been listening to for about ~7 years called into the show unexpectedly to announce that he had finished chemo and was officially cancer free. Everyone was crying on the show, it was unexpected, and you can't help but feel connected to these people even though you've never met them or anything, but you listen several times a week for years.
I'm genuinely more likely to cry out of happiness than sadness. I very rarely cry out of sadness, but thinking on it, I cry out of happiness with some frequency.
- When my wife told me she was pregnant
- The birth of our daughter
- Dancing with my mom at my wedding, at points during my wedding
- A handful of times at close friends' weddings, or important moments for them
- When one of my best friends called me to tell me he was cancer-free
- When a friend of mine told me that his wife was pregnant, they had been trying for years

When my nephew was born me and my brother cried it out Just tears
When dope shit happens in some of my favorite shows
Also teared up a few months ago when I saw The Coliseum in Rome as I turned a corner. Just one of my life goals since I was a history geek as a kid.

To be fair this was coming down the pass at the OR-CA border. Not an 8 lane section in Tacoma or something lol.
And yeah it was the brightest, most vivid rainbow I've ever seen. A full double, and so close that you could see both of them shimmering. It had been downpouring all day, and then the sky broke, blue skies came out, and the rainbow appeared. Everyone threw on their flashers and pulled over to admire it.
