I’m getting married this weekend and wanted to find a nice vintage
piece for my gown.”
    “ Oh, Congratulations! That’s
exciting.”
    “ Thank you.”
    “ Well, we keep pins in the
counter display case. Earrings are hanging on the wall as well as
necklaces and there’s a scarf rack near the display
window.”
    “ Perfect.
Thanks.”
    “ No problem,” Emily said
excited for this woman whom she hadn’t known. She remembered how
she felt when she married Melvin. It was her day – her time to show
off her man to the world. There was the dress, bridesmaids, hair,
makeup, nails, the shoes – getting married was an exciting time.
But to do it all over again, to repeat those vows to another man
gave her an unsettling feeling. She had no desire to marry again.
She had, however, missed talking with Armand.
    She walked over to her customer while she
was looking at earrings and asked, “So when is the big day?”
    The lady beamed, holding two pairs of
earrings in her hand.
    “ Saturday.”
    “ Girl, you should have your
maid honor running these types of errands for you.”
    “ Well, that’s the
thing...this is going to be a very non-traditional style wedding,
so I won’t have a maid of honor or bridesmaids.”
    “ Are you getting married at
the court house?” Emily questioned. She realized how intrusive and
nosy she sounded. She just didn’t care.
    “ Oh, no. I’m getting married
at a mass wedding on Pleasure Island this weekend.”
    Emily’s eyes lit up. “Wait...are you getting
married at the Grieving Hearts Connect Resort?”
    “ Yes! You heard about
it?”
    “ I did, actually. I met
someone on the site and he asked me to marry him there but I
refused.”
    “ Why?”
    “ Because I didn’t feel I
knew him well enough.”
    “ How long have you two been
talking?”
    “ Three months.”
    “ Wow. I’ve only been
chatting with my guy for two months and we decided to take the
leap.”
    “ Have you met him in person
or spoken with him on the phone?”
    “ Haven’t met, but we talk on
the phone every night. He lives in Atlanta. Where does your guy
live?”
    “ He said he was in
Charlotte.”
    “ Charlotte? That’s a hop,
skip and a jump...then you’re there...and you haven’t
met?”
    “ No. He actually only wanted
to chat online and didn’t want to meet or talk on the phone, so I
recently broke it off, but now I think I was too rash with my
decision. My friend thinks I should go to Pleasure Island and meet
him in person. It’s like she has this vision of me being whisked
into the arms of a prince and living happily ever
after.”
    The woman chuckled as she took another pair
of earrings from the rack.
    “ I’m Emily by the
way.”
    “ I’m Audrey. Nice to
officially meet you.”
    “ You as well.”
    “ Hey, which pair of earrings
should I get?” Audrey asked. “I can’t decide.”
    Emily looked them over for a moment and
said, “They all look nice.” She only stocked the best merchandise
for her store.
    “ Yeah. Maybe I’ll get all of
them.”
    The women giggled.
    “ How long have you been a
member on GHC?” Emily inquired.
    “ Um...’bout a year now. When
my husband died eight years ago, I had trouble talking to men. A
friend of mine told me about the Grieving Hearts site and I made
good use of the online therapists there. But I didn’t know that I
would meet my new soulmate. He’s truly amazing and this journey for
me has been wonderful.”
    Audrey had decided to get three pairs of
earrings, and after Emily swiped her credit card and handed it back
to her, she asked Audrey, “Was it difficult for you to make that
decision to start over and get married again?”
    “ It was at first, but I
realized something.” Audrey slid her credit card back in her purse.
“I’m responsible for my own happiness. I could choose to be
miserable or I could choose to be happy. I chose
happiness.”
    “ I like that,” Emily said as
she handed Audrey a small, logo-imprinted
