Cinderella: On Five Years of Marriage

Ballroom dancing translates to dancing ridiculously weird in front of your kids to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song.

Those squeaky mice are really squeaky children who are equally amazing at destroying as mice are at making dresses.

That horse drawn carriage strangely looks like a black mini van with three car seats in the back and goldfish crushed into the floor.

Who stays up til midnight anymore?!

The only wish your heart makes is that you're dreaming you could stay fast asleep!! Kids jumping in your bed at the crack of dawn gets old real fast. 

The glass slipper fit then and it still fits now.

The castle is actually a quaint little house with a playground and sandbox in the backyard.  

Where's the Fairy Godmother when you really need her? The dishes are piled high, toys are strewn everywhere, and beds need to be made. Not to mention, it would be so nice to be magically whisked away again, just the two of us, to some awesome party...or a beach would be nice too!

But when the Prince still gently kisses your hand, looks deeply into your eyes, and manages to sneak in a dance or two, barefoot in the kitchen with little "mice" running circles around you both, you know that you have found your Happily Ever After.

So this is love and life truly is divine!

Happy 5th Anniversary, Alex! My handsome Prince Charming!
I wouldn't change any of it for the world!
You are the love of my life.
