Is there a little girl that doesn’t love the feeling of being treated like a princess? Millions of children around the world adore Disney movies and the beautiful characters that they see on screen. Many love to dress up in imitation of the characters in the stories. Morgan Richards, a 6-year-old girl, couldn’t wait to dress up as Belle from the beloved movie, “Beauty and the Beast.” She was going to a special dance dressed as Belle, the beautiful princess, and she simply couldn’t wait to show off her pretty dress!

While Morgan couldn’t wait to get to the dance, she had no idea just how special it was going to be for her. That is because her father was waiting underneath his very own mask to surprise his little girl.

Brandon Richards, her father, spends months at a time away from his family. Why? It’s because he is a soldier in the Navy and often spends months on the ocean before heading home. In this particular instance, Brandon had been away from his family for the last six months. Of course, he couldn’t wait to hug his beautiful daughter again! He was excited to come up with a special plan to surprise her at the dance. We are so glad someone was there to get it all on video!

The dance itself was super sweet to witness. But the best part was the astonished look that Morgan had on her face when it was revealed who she was really dancing with. Under the “beast” mask was her loving father! She gave him a huge hug while everyone around them fought back happy tears.

Elizabeth, her mother, told Inside Edition that she and her husband always go out of their way to make his homecoming a special event for Morgan. She also said that it was important to just go with the flow, as they can’t always count on the exact day and time that he will come home. Brandon just wants to make as many memories as possible with Morgan. He wants her to be able to remember their special moments together years from now.
