My Princess Days Have Just Begun

Charlotte for president!
“Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation*; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.”
*New word: vexation= annoyance
If I was a girl in the early eighteen hundreds and was forced to marry someone for reasons not good enough to me I would definitely follow this piece of advice. I mean, because my husband is rich (filthy rich) he is bound to have a big house in which I could play hide and seek and side-walk chalk all day long for eternity and not have to see his fugly face like totally evar.
The way they talk keeps reminding me of this song (which is why I can’t concentrate): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfmdRTCagmU
