"I saw something today that just plain made me feel good. It&amp;#039;s a pictorial of grooms and the looks on their faces when they first see their bride walking down the aisle toward them. It&amp;#039;s wonderful. Completely and utterly wonderful. I remember going to see the movie &amp;quot;27 Dresses&amp;quot; right around the time that Peter moved out. A friend was trying to get me out of the house and I agreed to go with her, not knowing a thing about the movie. She was mortified when she saw me getting misty mid-way through the movie and snuffing back some tears. She even apologized to me on the ride home, which was completely unnecessary. I wasn&amp;#039;t sad the way she thought I was. The part that got me was when she was describing her mythical someday of a dream wedding, and how her groom would look at her - like she was the only one in the room, maybe even the world - and how that would feel. Her words just tugged at my heartstrings. And not because I lost all that, but because I never really got it in the first place. Peter was so drunk at our wedding, I think he could have legally contested it. I never blamed him for it - he was having fun with his best man and ushers before the wedding and he was functional and even a bit funny. I suppose an argument can be made that he should have respected me enough not to get himself in that condition on our wedding day. Truthfully, though, we ended up having a great wedding and reception anyway. But I never got &amp;quot;the look&amp;quot;. Maybe someday. Listen to me. Who&amp;#039;d&amp;#039;ve thunk it? I guess I haven&amp;#039;t given up on love, after all. What about you? Are you still hopeful? Or are you one of the lucky ones who found the right one after the wrong one walked out the door?
