When "Happily Ever After" ends a little differently

For Web designer Patrick Moberg, then 21, from Brooklyn, it was love at first sight when he spotted a woman on a Manhattan train last November. But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a sketch to find her --http://www.nygirlofmydreams.com/. Unbelievably in a city of 8 million people, it only took Moberg 48 hours to track down the woman.

The "dream-girl," Camille Hayton, said she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didn't work out, and now they are "just friends."

I just thought this was a great story (a little stalkerish, and not really something I would have necessarily appreciated, but cute in its own way). I think what I liked most though is that this fairy tale did not have the typical ending. I'm sure both parties are much better going their seperate ways, rather than having an elaborate wedding to create the illusion of the perfect ending. Instead, they lived happily ever after... single and carefree. =)
