If you happen to be a regular reader of Miss Mother Mom you may remember my post titled "Let's Get Crafty".  If not, you can see it here.  On one wall you can see a HUGE movie poster of the 1999 film Entrapment starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones.  Yes, it is a full size, original, theatre release poster.  I'd like to share a little story with you regarding this film, Prince Charming and me.

Once upon a time there was a girl.  This girl had great family and friends, a job she liked, a house of her own and a cat named Ollie.  The only thing missing was someone to share her life with.  As with most people, her heart had been broken a few times when she was younger.  Because of this the girl had become picky about the guys she would date.  Very picky.  Friends, family and co-workers had always been helpful in looking out for someone new.  There were dates.  A few guys who even made it to relationship status.  Still, Prince Charming had not been found.

Then one April her Mom kept pushing her to try something new.  This was before internet dating and social media and all that.  So to make Mom happy the girl decided to give it a try.  After a week or so she got a message from this guy who left a phone number and said he would like hear from her.  Nervous and skeptical she gave him a call.  They spent a couple of hours on the phone.  They spoke again the next night and decided to meet for dinner and a movie on Friday that week.  April 30.

He asked her to pick a place for dinner and take a look at the movies playing.  They had talked so much on the phone that week  but she wanted to meet him, being the cautious single lady, instead of him picking her up.  Nervous.  Excited.  He was so nice and sweet on the phone.  She pulled up at the restaurant and saw him standing on the sidewalk.  Very cute!  Casual but nicely dressed.  He looked nervous too.  Deep breath and here we go.  Dinner was great.  They talked and talked.  He was so funny and entertaining.  Going good.  He asked about seeing a movie.  She suggested Entrapment.  It had just come out.  Sean Connery was starring.  It had a little of everything.  Action, romance, drama.  He said it sounded great.  It was.  Afterwards he drove her back to the restaurant to get her car.  He asked if she would like to go to a reception the next afternoon.  She told him she already had plans.  Did not want to seem to eager.  He asked if he could call her.  She said yes.

Later that night, after she got home, he called.  He was just checking  to be sure she got home safely. Prince Charming!  Two and a half months later he asked her to marry him.  July 18.  Seven months after that they became husband and wife.  March 11.  That was the beginning of happily ever after...
