Happily Ever After…Forever?

     Since the latest events, things have most certainly changed! To start, my sister and brother-in-law purchased an estate close to Pemberly; we see each other quite frequently.   Kitty often has been visiting us; she has also been maturing quite rapidly.  Lydia and Wickham continue to remain wed, often asking for money in which they will not receive.  As for Lady Catherine, she has come to terms with our marriage, but I am sure does not fully approve of it.  It is amazing to think that my aunt and uncle are responsible for bringing Darcy and I together. If it were not for them, I am uncertain as to what the present would be like.  I can only look forward to the future and dream of what adventures the future will behold!

Mutual Agreement

     At last I have finally found happiness! Mr.Darcy and I were finally able to express our true feelings for one another and we are now engaged! It is amazing to have finally settled any misconceptions and confusions between us… I have discovered the man that Mr.Darcy really is.  The only difficulty I have undergone is the struggle to convince my sister and father of my genuine admiration for Mr.Darcy. After once expressing my hatred towards my now fiancé, it is understandable that my family would be surprised… I appreciate their concern regarding the confirmation of my happiness, but they must believe that I love Mr.Darcy for the man he truly is and not for his wealth. Overall, my family is thrilled to now have two sisters that are soon to be brides!

How Dare She!

     Lady Catherine had the audacity to arrive upon my doorstep to insist my promise to not marry Mr.Darcy! She claimed that she heard rumors of our possible engagement and was obviously infuriated. Lady Catherine believes I am completely inferior to Mr.Darcy. I am well aware that our life styles are most certainly different; however, that should not prevent two people from falling in love! Love has nothing to do with wealth and connections… it has to do with the people themselves! Actually, it is quite humorous that Lady Catherine is attempting to fight her nephew’s nonexistent battle. She is sadly mistaken if she truly believes Mr.Darcy wishes to marry her sickly creature of a daughter! This whole ordeal has been quite upsetting; however, I shall keep this debacle under wraps as to not create any more tension for my family.

Love at Last

      I am ecstatic to announce that my dear sister is finally engaged to the one and only Mr.Bingley! After dinner the two found themselves alone together when Mr. Bingley asked her for her hand. I am so happy for Jane! To think she was at one time so heartbroken and hysterical over the man whom she was actually destined for!  Love works in strange ways I suppose.  Jane also mentioned that Mr.Bingley’s avoidance of her was purely accidental; he in fact had no clue she was in town.  All in all, I am quite relieved for Jane that the whole misunderstanding has been put to rest.

The Truth

        Mr.Darcy continues to surprise me in the most amazing ways. I learned from my aunt that Mr.Darcy was in fact the one who discovered the whereabouts of Lydia and Wickham. He also paid Wickham a sum of money to solidify the marriage. Apparently, Mr.Darcy bribed Miss Younge, a friend of Wickham, into telling him the location of the couple. My aunt suggested that Mr.Darcy acted upon his admiration for me. I am starting to believe Mr.Darcy really goes have a generous heart that Mrs.Reynolds claimed him to have.
      In the meantime, Lydia and Wickham have departed tot he north and Mr.Bingley made a visit to our home along with Mr.Darcy. My father treated him coldly(with good reason) whereas my desperate mother paid close attention to him. Although, she treated Mr.Darcy quite rudely... little does she know of his astonishing favor.

The "Bride" and "Groom"

      My father finally gave in, allowing Lydia and Wickham to visit our home before heading north. The visit so far has been anything but enjoyable. Lydia is completely and utterly naive to the whole situation. She acts as though the matter is all just fun and games! She fails to realize the heartache and monstrosity she has put upon our family. Her obnoxious, arrogant, immature behavior has proved this. I believed that all of us expected at least the slightest change in Lydia; we were mistaken. The only topic she wished to discuss was her love for her so called "husband" and her love for the new last name. One day she shall realize what true love is, and that what she and Wickham shared was anything but true love.
      Although, one thing I learned from Lydia's banter was that Mr.Darcy attended the wedding! I must write to my aunt at once and get to the bottom of this!


Until then,
Lizzy

Good News

       What a relief! My father recently returned from London. Shortly afterward, my uncle sent him a letter stating that the location of Lydia and Wickham was recovered! My uncle offered to make sure the two marry on the condition that my father provide them with a small income. Of course, my father consented; however, he believes my uncle to have paid Wickham a large sum of money to bribe him father into marrying Lydia.
       Of course, my mother is excessively ecstatic regarding the fact of her beloved sixteen year old getting married... My father tried to remind her of what the ordeal will cost; however, this will not put a damper on her excitement.
        Disregard my last statement ^^^. Not long afterward, my mother's happiness was once again put on hold. My father made it clear to her that the newlyweds would not be permitted to visit our home and the new bride would not be given wardrobe allowance... There seems to always be some type of drama or hysertics occuring in this household. I suppose that is the price to pay for living with mostly all women!
