I didn't cry when I found my dress. I actually wasn't entirely sure that it was "the one" until I tried on a bunch of other dresses and realized I didn't like any of other ones as much as I liked it. I LOVE my dress now, but I definitely didn't have that "moment" that you always hear about.
I did not cry when I found my wedding gown and I have also worked with brides that also did not cry so you are not alone. The crying makes for great TV :) You have realized the most important thing about getting married in that you are truly excited to marry your husband-to-be. I guarantee when you put on the wedding dress that you have, you will feel your best and most beautiful on wedding day!
I didn't cry either, and I cry at EVERYTHING! Including commercials!!! Made me feel really weird that I cry at ridiculous things so easily, but not at something important in my own real life haha. But there was another post on here recently where a TON of ladies said they didn't cry either, and I finally felt better about it. So nothing is wrong with me.... or you!! 
I have to ditto what honeybun just said! I am a pretty emotional person and cry over silly things, but definitely did not cry when I tried on any dress including my gown. I think that it was hard for me to get so emotional about a piece of fabric ya know?? I think that when I see myself all dolled up before I am ready to go MARRY the man of my dreams, then I will cry, but about a dress...not so much. You definitely aren't missing anything :)
I am in the same boat as you goes, no tears were shed over my dress. But maybe because I had so much other planning going on I was pretty overwhelemed.
I cry when I think about the song I'll walk down the aisle to, and I cry when I think about the vows, and i cry when I think about the song we'll dance to for the first dance. But when it comes to the dress, or in my case, dresses, I have not shed a tear (except for maybe in frustration!). I did a similar post a few days ago, though mine was more about my many dress doubts. Now that I have 2 dresses, I'm realizing more and more that the first dress I bought is a great dress and even though I never thought of it as "the one" I'm still happy to have it. Unfortunately I had to buy and alter a whole other dress to realize it! My point being, if you found a dress you like better than everything else you tried on, then you have a great dress already and you don't need to feel like you're missing anything at all. And I agree with DanyStew - the crying and the love of the dress make for great TV - but it doesn't mean that everyone reacts that way : )
I dont love my dress either. It's caused me a lot of pain and hatred actually because it didn't fit when it first arrived (bridal store didn't order me the right size).
The dress fits ok now, a little tight. Still don't LOVE it, but it will do.
I'm gonna lie, I wasn't in love with my dress. It was a nice dress that I liked, but I didn't love it and to this day it does make me a little sad that I didn't love it and I do regret that a bit.
I dont' think the dress in and of itself is that important. It's definitely important that you feel like a bride and beautiful. If your dress makes you feel like a bride, great. If it's the bouquet, great. If it's the groom, super! If you feel like you're getting married in your dress, I'd stay with it and be happy.

Ok. I got my dress within 2 months of being engaged. At the first time I went shopping actually. I then spent the next 4 months second guessing my choice and trying on a ton of dresses. I didn't find anything that I liked better and was willing to pay the premium for.
So I had my first fitting and was hoping I would LOVE it. I like it a lot, and when the alterations are done it will be a lot better...but LOVE is a strong word. I've seen all these shows where the bride "knows" and "cries" when the find THE ONE. But I am just not feeling it. I am mostly excited about actually getting married to THE GUY.
Am I missing something? Do I need to keep looking? Wedding is only one month away and I hope I'm not missing out on something.
