So it comes as no surprise that many little girls innocently want to marry their daddy. And 3-year-old Bella Atkinson of Cedar Rapids, Iowa is no different!

The Perfect Husband

Bella adores her father, Matt. The time he takes with her and the attention he shows sounds like all the hallmarks of a great dad.

"He teaches her about the outdoors and how to be strong and fearless, but is also always just as happy to be her favorite customer at the 'beauty parlor' to get his nails painted or give her extra kisses in a 'cuddle nest' of blankets and pillows on the couch," Bella's mom, Jenna Atkinson, explains. "She runs to the door every time she hears him pull in from work and I'm not sure which one of them is more excited when he opens the door."

Since Bella has already found the perfect man, the little girl wants to marry daddy when she grows up. But a photo from her parents' wedding day dashed her dreams completely!

One day, Bella noticed a picture hanging on the wall. It was a photo from her mom and dad's wedding. Bella suddenly realized "Daddy Matt" already had a wife.

"You and Dad are married?" she asked her mom, Jenna.
