    Its a wonderful story… people forget that “romantic marriage” is fairly modern.. marriage has up to this time been a contractual arrangement. Yes the two were often in love as theyd known each other their whole lives- but marriages were arranged or conducted as a more business like approach. With doweries etc involved and each letting the other know expectations and what was unacceptable. Only the doweries were negotiated by others usually and the personal part between the two as the…courted. And love usually followed….
