Grimm Revision
He couldn't believe it when they told him the only way to wake the young woman from her sleep of death was to kiss her. How could he presume to kiss a woman he never met, especially when she was helplessly sleeping? Would it not be a violation of her personal space and integrity? So he went to the Court Magician and arranged to enter her dreams to secure a formal introduction through a mutually dreamed friend. Over the following weeks, after they truly got to know each other as people, they fell in love and were engaged. The Court Magician then transported him back into the real world, where he gently kissed the sleeping beauty on the cheek. She woke. They were both grateful he had waited. And their children never tired of hearing the story of how their parents met and formed a union of equals.
