There’s no doubt that one of the most emotional wedding day moments is when the bride and groom see each other for the first time. While some traditional couples prefer to save the big reveal for the moment the bride comes walking down the aisle, others decide to do a “First Look” — taking a private moment to see each other before the ceremony.
Below are 12 evocative First Look moments from our readers that will make you believe in love.

A year after showing off Robert Kirkman’s Zombie Survival Elantra, and just months after their Veloster Zombie Survival Machine, Hyundai is at New York Comic Con, where they’re showing off the Hyundai Santa Fe Zombie Survival Machine.
This vehicle was selected from 82,500 vehicle concepts that were created using The Walking Dead Chop Shop app. The app allowed fans to create the vehicle they thought would be best to roam the zombie wasteland in. The winner was Anson Kuo’s modified Santa Fe, called the Santa Fleeeee, seen below:
It was brought to life with the help of Galpin Auto Sports. The vehicle has everything you would need to take on the horde: knife blades, an automatic crossbow, razor-wired windows, three machine guns, a samurai sword, aluminum armor and even a silencer for the muffler. If you are attending NYCC this week, you will be able to see the car in person and even get behind the wheel for photo ops.
It is at booth #542. Awesome. Zombies don’t stand a chance.

Astronomers have discovered a very unusual planet roaming freely through the galaxy. The planet is about 80 light years from Earth and is believed to be about six times more massive than Jupiter. The interesting thing about this planet is that it’s floating freely in space with no parent star.
This isn’t the first time an orphan planet with no sun has been discovered, but this is the first time that astronomers and scientists are absolutely sure it’s a planet. In the past, the astronomers were unable to determine if these free-floating objects were failed stars known as “brown dwarfs” or “orphan planets.”
“We have never before seen an object free-floating in space that that looks like this,” team leader Michael Liu of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa said. “It has all the characteristics of young planets found around other stars, but it is drifting out there all alone. I had often wondered if such solitary objects exist, and now we know they do.”
The planet is known as PSO J318.5-22 and was discovered using its heat signature by the Pan-STARRS 1 wide-field survey telescope in Hawaii. Astronomers say most of the energy from the planet is emitted infrared wavelengths. The astronomers say that the planet has properties similar to those of gas-giant planets found orbiting young stars. The astronomers believe that the so-called “Ronin planet” is probably associated with the collection of young stars called the Beta Pictoris group and was somehow kicked out of its orbit.
