Any country girl or hopeless romantic knows of the heart gushing love story of Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren Akins.

They dated briefly when they were younger, almost married other people, but before the wedding, Lauren’s father called Rhett and said, “I will tell her how you feel if you don’t.” From there, their love story bloomed and they got engaged six months after dating. Hearing these love stories, with side stories of Thomas Rhett renting out a movie theater for his wife with Harry Potter movies, and their journey on adopting their daughter Willa while later finding out they were pregnant, will make anyone's heart grow twice its size.

We see all these people posting on social media these stories and saying “I wish my boyfriend was like this!”

Well, that’s the thing.

We see Disney movies, and Thomas Rhett’s love story and people don’t realize fairytales don’t come “every dynasty." They don’t just fall at your feet. As nice as that sounds, I wouldn’t trade my prince that I’ve found.

No, my boyfriend doesn’t rent me out a movie theater for the hell of it.

But I’ve also made it clear that I don’t need that to be happy.

Walmart Cheesecake, Little Ceaser's pizza & Crazy Bread, and “The 100” on Netflix? Deal.

My boyfriend isn’t gone on tour throughout the year. The most I have to worry about is how late he is going to be so I know when to start cooking dinner.

My boyfriend doesn’t ride in limos or tour buses. But he does ride on his R1 or his stunt bike and always takes me with him when I want to go. Traveling all the time on a crowded bus or riding on the streets going super fast with your man? I can promise you which one is more fun.

We don't go out to fancy parties or events, but we do go on little dates downtown or a night out with everyone and have fun, even if we are doing our own thing.

We don't have the adorable adopted/birthed children, but we do a pitbull/lab fur baby that we wouldn't trade for the world, as annoying as he is.

If we didn’t see or hear about these “perfect romance” stories, we wouldn’t have hope that one day it’s going to come to us. No love story is the same, but every love story is beautiful. It is your choice of which one is your favorite.

He is no Thomas Rhett, but that’s not what I need to be happy. And that’s not what I want to make me happy.

Sure, it’s nice to read about, but we read and dream about fantasies all the time. I’m living in my own right now.
