The Magic of (Other People’s) Weddings
One man's love affair with matrimony, despite his anti-marriage views.
by John Meils
Back in the hotel room at the end of the night, I caught Lorri staring in the mirror at herself. “You know,” she said, fingering the hemline of her bridesmaid dress, “I might want this at some point.”
“I know,” I said, as it occurred to me that I might want it too—but with her only.
“If it weren’t for the cost,” she added, the dress falling from her shoulders to the floor. “What a waste.”
And like a snap from a hypnotist I returned, only slightly worse for wear.

John, you’re an excellent writer and I enjoyed your piece. Though you claim to have “anti-marriage views”, your piece was an open love letter to your girlfriend, “Lorri”, and practically a proposal (or at least a hint of one).
Your ending needed a “record scratching” sound effect.
