Happy Endings
Fairy tales usually end their story by
having the princess marry the prince. After the grand wedding we never hear
from them anymore.
Did they have kids? Did they remain happy? Or was their
happiness short-lived? Was the prince really that charming that the princess
fell in love with him instantly? Is the princess that enchanting that the
prince decided right then that she’s the woman he’s going to spend the rest of
his life with? Did the prince remain faithful to his princess or did he cheat
on her with any of the chamber maids? After a few years of being together did
the princess ever realize that her prince wasn’t so charming after all?
We never really knew what happened to
them. Their marriage was never the end of the story. It was only the beginning
of a whole new story. Falling for each other is always the easy part. Staying
happy after that is an entirely different matter.
As
for me, this is my kind of happy ending:
"I've
always had a thing for happy endings; I don't know why. You know the movies
where the couple falls in love, gets married, has kids, then fifty or sixty
years later, one of them dies, and two or three days later the other one dies.
Okay, so that's not a great example of a happy ending. I mean two people are
dead. But, for some reason I thought Katie and I would be that couple. Not that
we would be dead, I mean, but that we would go on forever."--Ben Jordan
