I'll admit it. I was absolutely one of those people that woke up at 5 am, wore a tiara, drank tea, and ate scones while watching Prince Harry wed Meghan Markle. Don't judge me. I know you secretly wish you were up riding in a carriage through the English countryside waving to thousands of adoring subjects.

As time has passed, my obsession with the Royal Wedding has failed to fade. And since we have decades of waiting ahead of us until Prince George (who is my spirit animal) weds a royal of his own, I have taken to watching classic princess movies to fill the void in my heart. Here are my top 10 princess movie recommendations to help overcome the Royal Wedding Hangover!

1. The Princess Diaries

If I could rule over any land, I would chose Genovia. I mean, come on, you can't beat the royal lineage of Queen Clarisse Renaldi and Princess Mia Thermopolis. Plus, this quote is legendary.

2. The Princess Bride


Leaving this classic movie off the list? INCONCEIVABLE!

3. A Cinderella Story


Okay, while technically no royal crowning is involved in this movie, there is a very attractive guy, an evil step-mother, and two bratty step-sisters. Plus, this response is iconic so it definitely counts and you should definitely watch it.

4. Ever After


A woman with a witty tongue who cares about the common people and gets to wear an outfit like this? This is the type of princess I signed up in my dreams to be!

5. The Prince and Me


Okay, this movie is #goals. Forget making the Dean's List at college, I want to meet a gorgeous Danish prince who falls madly in love with me but patiently waits for me to finish college before putting a royal ring on it. Are there any princes in the business school that I'm unaware of? Because I happen to know someone who would make the PERFECT princess for your kingdom...

6. Ella Enchanted

First off, Anne Hathaway is pretty much a queen for how many royal films she slays. Secondly, Prince Char in Ella Enchanted is the reason I have lost countless hours re-watching this movie. Lastly, I will never get over the wedding dance scene for as long as my dream of being a princess is alive and well. (Which means forever)

7. Roman Holiday


I absolutely adore Audrey Hepburn and don't need a movie to tell me that she's a princess. But the fact that she plays a rebellious royal in Roman Holiday just makes her that much better.

8. Enchanted


The perfect movie for when you wish the classic characters you grew up with could come to life! Also, getting to stare at Patrick Dempsey for two hours never hurts.

9. Princess Protection Program


This movie serves the dual purpose of fulfilling your princess cravings while satisfying your yearning for Disney's glory days.

10. Cinderella


Because this list wouldn't be complete without the OG, the ever beautiful Cinderella. I'm still waiting for my fairy godmother to show up and "bibbidi-boppidi-boo" me into becoming Kate Middleton or Meghan Markle.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
