Maria Shriver & Arnold Schwarzenegger

A beautiful girl from one of the richest, most influential families in America falls in love with an Austrian body builder with humble roots, an unpronounceable name, and a thick accent.

The body builder, called “Arnie,” becomes an A-list actor, a savvy investor, and eventually marries the beautiful girl named Maria. They have four incredible children —two boys and two girls. They write books. They give to charities. They know everyone. And, if that isn’t amazing enough, the Austrian born body builder becomes the leader of the one of the largest, most powerful states in the country.

Yes, we’re talking about the real life fairytale known as Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Both Shriver (a Democrat) and Schwarzenegger (a Republican) claim their successful union lies in their differences.  Shriver claims, “I’ve never been bored!”

So, here’s to everyone being lucky enough in finding their perfect opposite and living the American dream.  Congratulations to the Governator and his Leading Lady on their 24^th Wedding Anniversary!
