Ladies, when you married were you hoping for Mr. Darcy

[Love Bug]

and ended up with Mr. Wickham or worse, Mr. Collins?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear Love Bug!

I didn't expect any of those characters!

I expected, and got, the man I love...

Great question, still!

Good morning!

:hi:

[Love Bug]

5. I'm glad for you!

Sadly, my "Mr. Darcy" turning into "Mr. Wickham." We are now divorced, of course.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

2. Mr. Darcy?

[Lord Tredegars Macaw]

3. There's that Darcy chap again!

To quote Robert Hardy from the Emma Thompson 'Sense and Sensibility' adaptation:

"Will none of you look at Brandon now?"

When a relationship of mine broke down, some well-meaning, female pals decided to drag me to Bath for the Jane Austen Costumed Ball. Apparently the numbers are often so skewed between male and female participants at such events, that even the slimiest Mr Collins-type is immediately pounced upon and proclaimed, with great wishful-thinking, a 'Darcy'.

Darcy is over-hyped in my humble (and admittedly heterosexual male) opinion. Colonel Brandon knocks him into a cocked hat.

[Captain Hilts]

4. Well, the divorce rate is nearly 50%.....nt

6. Mine looks as good as Mr. Darcy,

but unfortunately does not have Mr. Darcy's wealth.

[bookworm65t]

7. I'd be afraid of getting another Mr. Bennett

who wants to be with someone who holds you in that much contempt? For TWENTY YEARS +?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. No. not all ladies look for a mr. anything

[LynneSin]

9. I would just hope for Lloyd Dobler and not end up with Joe

God forbid if I have to write 65 songs about a "Joe" and if I do you will listen to all 65 of them!

[crim son]

10. Nope, I married Darcy and got Darcy.

Money, education, class and good looks do not make the man, I discovered. :(

[MorningGlow]

11. I married Darcy

Got the moodiness but not the cash. Darn it! :crazy:

[hippywife]

12. Nope.

Got just what I was hoping for all my life and never thought I would get. :hi:

[madmom]

13. Nope, I dated a Darcey. Had to keep fighting for the mirror.

[Aristus]

14. My wife did better than Mr. Darcy: She got ME in a ruffled shirt!

:P

[CBHagman]

15. Ah, some of us ended up like Jane Austen.

Though without the six immortal novels that never went out of print.
