Nid, this is what I've learnt in the past 4 years.
The Beatles had a song called 'Can't Buy Me Love'. This is true. I had it all, success and riches. Losing over 60% of what you worked so hard for didn't hurt as much as losing love. I no longer care for success and riches. They have no meaning without love.
You will wear a bride dress and all it takes is will and patience. I know that you have the will because of your achievement to date. If you possess patience then it will happen.
Me? I know what I want and I've seen what I want.
We can and will make it happen. :)
