Fairy Tales

I believe in fairy tales.

I believe every girl is a princess.

I believe one day my "Prince Charming" will find me.

And I believe in happily ever after.

This slight obsession with fairy tales may stem from watching Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, The Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast and my all time favorite, Cinderella over and over and over again as a child. In any case I am a believer of fairy tales.

On April 29, 2011, I (along with Megan & Simone and the millions of other people) had the privilege of watching a real life fairy tale come true... Catherine Elizabeth Middleton married Prince William. Walt Disney could not have written this story any better if he tried. A handsome prince, who lost his beautiful mother at a young age, falls in love with a "commoner", they date, break-up, get back together, get married and "live happily ever after". We woke up at 4:30 that morning to ensure we did not miss a moment of our real life fairy tale. I wanted to soak it all in... the royalty, the celebrities, the fashion, especially the hats, and of course Prince Hottie Harry! I watched with excitement as one by one people arrived and were seated. I watched the Princes get in the car and arrive at the Cathedral. At first glance fell in love with Pippa's dress. And then I was taking back to my childhood when I saw Kate get out of her car, so graceful and poised, polished and put together. She was everything a princess should be. And Prince William, well, he looked just like a prince. The service was beautiful (a little long), and Kate Middleton and Prince William were now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. That was wonderful and all, but all I really wanted to see was the KISS!

Having the opportunity to watch this "real life fairy tale" come true gives me (and I am sure tons of other girls) hope that one day we will all have our shot at happily ever after. I know that I will never really marry a Prince or become an actual Princess, but you can not stop me from dreaming. After all, a dream is a wish your heart makes.
