My favorite movie of all time is Pride and Prejudice. I am a pretty hopeless romantic, so this storyline is right up my alley. I love the era where proper etiquette was observed, women were ladies and men were gentlemen. I love that women wore the stunning gowns and that they danced at balls. They spoke eloquently and wrote beautifully. How different our world is now! It makes me sad to think those things are forever gone, except for in the movies. The only time we dress in exquisite gowns, is for our wedding day. Beautiful letters have been replaced by e-mails and texts. People go to bars instead of balls and some of the most basic manners are lost. But despite the changes in time, I know I have found my modern day Mr. Darcy. He doesn’t ride a horse or like dancing, but he knows how to love me.
Sometimes I think I take for granted that I have found my person. There are so many young women out there; still searching…hoping that the next date will go somewhere. How blessed I am. I go to bed every night knowing that I am loved and accepted. I know that he has my back and will always stand beside me. I am so thankful for the man that I have married and his commitment to me. I truly believe God interceded and brought us together.
“…you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on”. – Mr. Darcy
