Charlotte York: The True Romantic


Most women and especially girls my age are obsessed with the HBO show, Sex and the City.  Almost all girls who watch the show have a character, out of the amazing 4 women who they most relate to.  Every time I watch this TV show with my friends, without a doubt they say that I am Charlotte York and I must say, I'm not arguing.  It's oddly creepy how much my life resembles this made up TV show character, but I love it! Being a girl who loves love and doesn't give up on it even when a million guys are (excuse my language) assholes is one of the many reasons why I relate so much to Charlotte York and why I believe she is the true romantic.


Charlotte York is the more reserved one in the group but she isn't afraid to speak her mind and stand up for what she believes in.  She's beautiful, polished, preppy, smart, an art history major, a hopeless romantic, a dog lover and she falls in love with a man she never envisioned she would meet (in the strangest place) and her life turns out beautifully!


In the series, Sex and the City, Charlotte York is a brunette preppy, Episcopalian girl from Connecticut who went to Smith College.  In college she was a Kappa Kappa Gamma and majored in Art History with a minor in finance. When she moved NYC she worked in an art gallery (which is possibly what I want to do) and had a sweet little apartment.  Throughout her life when she first moved to NYC she dated a bunch of frogs and kissed too many frogs until she thought she met her "Preppy Prince Charming," Trey McDodogle. Charlotte thought she has finally met her perfect match when she met someone who was as preppy as she was (You don't want to date someone who exactly like you because that would be boring) but unfortunately, Trey couldn't quite get it up hahaha and despite their small issue in the bedroom, he also just SUCKED and was a preppy prick!  Life is funny, when you envision someone, God always has a better plan for you and has someone who is better then you ever imagined! So, the two eventually got divorced and Charlotte was able to take everything from the divorce because Trey gave it to her, admitting that for the time they were married, Charlotte was the best wife there ever was and told the lawyers to give her anything she wanted. She acquired their multi-million dollar apartment in Central Park and through this divorce and the changing of her divorce lawyers, she met Harry Goldenblatt, who was a Jew.  Harry Goldenblatt was Charlotte's divorce lawyer and through the process of the divorce he fell in love with her! He told her while she was looking for a new apartment that he had been in love with her since the first time he laid eyes on her and that he was drawn to her.  Because Harry was a Jew and Charlotte was an Episcopalian; Harry was not allowed to marry her.  But Charlotte knew she loved Harry and so she converted to Judaism for him and to two wed after a year or so of dating (You never know when and where you're going to meet the person you're going to be with, which is why life is so exciting).  The couple was happy until they tried to get pregnant and when they finally did, Charlotte had a miscarriage. Since they couldn't get pregnant, Charlotte adopted a King Charles Spaniel, and named the dog, Elizabeth Taylor.  She entered Elizabeth Taylor in multiple dog shows, but eventually, Elizabeth Taylor was gang banged at the doggie park and got pregnant.  Charlotte was sad that her dog could have a baby but she couldn't but after months of trying, they adopted a little girl named Lilly from China and Charlotte knew that Lilly was supposed to be their baby, the moment she laid eyes on the little babies picture.  When Lilly was around the age of 3 Charlotte got pregnant again and this time it lasted; she named the little girl Rose.



That was just a brief history on the character, Charlotte York but the reason I think she's a true romantic is because from the very beginning she knew she wanted to live a "perfect life" and she went for it.  Sure, she dated a lot of losers and kissed one too many frogs before she met the man she was supposed to marry but the point is, she never gave up.  Every time so guy broke her heart or went back to another girl she simple stated and believed that it was happening for a reason because that was not the guy who she was supposed to be with forever.  When she met Harry, she admitted on an episode that she didn't expect to fall in love with Harry, but she did! It's always the unexpected things in life that sometimes turn out to be the greatest. So, I guess my point is, to not give up when life brings you down and to keep believing and trusting God that he has a better plan for your life, better then you have ever imagined.  Charlotte York wanted to find love and she did eventually because she never gave up, even after all of the frogs she had to get through before she met her wonderful Jewish husband. <3
