New thoughts on 27 Dresses
So 2 years ago…all I wanted was the day…a day when all eyes would be on me. Now what I want is just to spend the rest of my life with the man I love. I still want to get married before he does, but I don’t mind waiting. I still want everything before, but I want it more now. I want more than ever to sleep next to him and wake up next to him, to make dinner for him and to cuddle up on a couch with him at the end of the night, and do it all over again the next day. I even want all the hard times, the bills and the stupid fights, everything.
I was right to worry about Pennsylvania, but in the end it gave me a new found appreciation for him that I would not have had if he hadn’t gone to school out there. It has been just about 4 years and he’s my best friend in the whole world, and he’s everything I could’ve wished or hoped for.
So in the movie she says that her favorite part of the wedding is when the bride is walking down the aisle and everyone turns to look at her, she likes to look at the groom, because there is such love and affection in his expression. I love it.
So now it is my turn to wait patiently (or as patiently as possible) for everything to happen. But either way, I can say that I’m happy just to have him in my life. Whether it happens in a year or 10 years, it doesn’t matter anymore. All I know is that when it happens I won’t be looking to see how many people are looking at me, or how big and extravagant everything is, I will be looking at him, because his eyes are the only ones that matter to me anymore.
