You could also break the cycle of her thinking she has to take hours to get ready by telling her she's beautiful just the way she is. Tell her it's not the sunrise thats beautiful, it's her face in the light that makes the sunrise worth anything at all.
Girlfriend, fiancee or wife, you know what I've learned to do in this situation? Two things:
One, Be ready. No ifs, buts or exceptions. Have your sorry ass be ready.
Two, Don't say a damned thing about it. Not a single fucking thing. If asked when you arrive, apologise: "sorry WE are late." Put subtle emphasis on we. Cast a look at her from the corner of your eye if she's not looking. If pressed further say, "I guess time got away from US." Cast another glance.
That's it. Just brace yourself for the ass chewing you're going to get on the way home for her making the two of you late.

It's taking everything I've got to not rage against that.
Yes, other women aren't my ex. But that's still a downvote against my personal expereince.
Have fun shitting on other people's experiences and enjoying your pop culture spoon fed fairy tale.
(Wow, look at that. My inner asshole is showing. That doesn't happen too much anymore.)
Sorry down voters and people who hate stereotypes, even ones that are true.
