happily-ever-after?

But
I won’t keep you in suspense. I’ll share
my own happily-ever-after account, which I affectionately dub Only An
Englishman Would Do…
When I was
11-years-old, my 8-year-old cousin and I used to sit around my bedroom like typical
young girls and daydream about what our future husbands would be like. She
vowed to marry a well-known singer when she grew up, but I always insisted that I
was going to marry an Englishman. The accent always seemed so dashing and sophisticated
to me.
Fast forward about
a dozen years: I was 22, living far from home in New York City and working at a
network TV job I loved, when one Saturday night I walked into a bar with two of
my girlfriends and met this handsome Englishman! I’m not so shallow as to say
he had me at ‘hello,’ but the minute he and I started talking, it was like we’d
known each other forever. We married two years later, and I’m happy to say we’re
still crazy in love. To this day, my cousin still teases me about my childhood prediction!
And no, she did not marry that famous pop star.
What about you? What was your first idealistic vision of the
man you wanted to marry? Did it come true?
