When I conceived the idea of celebrating the Royal Wedding with an entire week dedicated to hearing about weddings and reviewing wedding-centric novels, an idea struck me. Kate has landed her Prince, but how about presenting a tongue-in-cheek Chick Lit guide to snagging a prince. Every day at mid-day, from Monday until Friday we’ll give you five steps to getting your own Happy Ever After.

Step Five: Happy Ever After?

Congratulations! You’ve successfully navigated the five steps to snagging a Prince. You’ve got him - obviously, you’ve impressed his friends and family, you’ve moved in together and best of all, he’s proposed. Your wedding will be a big affair, think Katie Price; big church, thousands (ok hundreds) of guests, big meringue-y dress. Not to mention your wedding is taking place in Venice. Thankfully though, you’ve avoided any pitfalls. Neither your mother nor his mother tried to take over, you’ve only booked one wedding, and for once in your life, everything goes swimmingly. You’re a princess on the day, your groom’s eyes light up as soon as he sees you and he looks a vision himself in his tux (but then again, who doesn’t look good in a tux?). You honeymoon on a cruise around the Carribbean and conceive a magical, precious baby. Your life couldn’t possibly get any better and as you and your Prince celebrate 50 years of marriage, it tells us only one thing: that the Chick Lit guide to snagging a Prince is worth its weight in gold dust. Who said fiction never teaches us anything?
