Every girl (and some guys too!) likes a good love story. Many of them are fairytales, some of them are real, and some of them just seem too good to be real. We all heard about, followed, and woke up early to watch the royal wedding this week. That falls into the category of "Real, But Like a Fairytale." Come on, she's the princess now! Which may not actually be a fairytale future, but for one day she had the fairytale every girl dreams of, complete with the crown and the real-and-true Prince Charming.
Some of my personal favorite love stories aren't real, but they're just too cute to ignore. The story of Allie and Noah from "The Notebook." Every Michael Buble song ever. "P.S. I Love You." WESTLEY AND BUTTERCUP. Shall I go on?
What makes a really good love story? Is it love at first sight? Or is it love developing from a completely different relationship? Is it happily ever after, or is it working to make your love better and stronger than any other person's love? Some of the best and truest love stories are of regular people with dedication and passion enough to enable true love. What is true love? Love that may not be bumpless, but that always comes out of the bumps smoothly.
My favorite love story (of the week) comes from Disney's recent movie, "The Princess and the Frog." No, it is not Tiana and Naveen, although theirs is a cute story as well. It is, of course, that of Raymond and Evangeline. Yes, I have definitely listened to his song to her at least 62 times today, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. This is the important part, so I'm going to put it in all caps. I BELIEVE THAT EVERY WOMAN DESERVES TO BE LOVED BY A MAN AS MUCH AS EVANGELINE IS LOVED BY RAY. That is unconditional love right there. He may or may not know that it will never work out, but HE LOVES HER ANYWAY. And then IT WORKS OUT. True love really does conquer all.
But honestly, I think every woman, in her own special way, can light up the sky. J'adore Evangeline.
Remember that, guys.
One couple and one couple only. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
