We all know the magical Cinderella story when the fairy godmother changes her ragged dress into a gown fit for a princess and she rushes to the ball to meet the prince. And even though at midnight Cinderella rushes away, the prince finds one of her glass slippers and they live happily ever after. However, have you heard a real-life story about a kind little girl, who finds her own fairy godmother?
Five-year-old Layla Lester, who has autism, like most girls of her age, loves princesses. And one late afternoon, she saw one of her favorite princesses come to life! That princess was Olivia Spark, who together with her new husband, was taking her wedding photos at Akron Falls Park in New York. Layla confused the soon-to-be bride with the famous princess Cinderella!
Layla's reaction was so sweet that the bride decided to play along and became a princess for one afternoon. Olivia talked to the girl for a long time before finally telling the girl that she needed to go back to the dance.
"I was more than happy to be Cinderella for that little girl," Olivia said. The best part of the story is that Olivia kept in touch with the little girl, even going to her house dressed as a princess, and also raised funds to make her dreams come true and take her to Disney World, where she met all of her favorite princesses.
