Taking That Next Step

In Bridgerton, a man decides when the hunt is over and they’ve found their future bride. For some, it takes the entire social season, while others take a few days after falling in love at first sight. Throughout the show, you hear of suitors who were recently rejected asking another girl for their hand in marriage. There’s one in particular who’s so relentless that he resorts to blackmail. Since women in this time didn’t have the luxury of creating their own income, they had to marry by a certain age regardless if the marriage was built on love or not. Men who owned large acres of land and held royal titles were favored more than the other bachelors. However, like every great love story, money doesn’t mean a thing if you can’t be with the one who holds your heart.
