Happily Ever After
We
(mainly Jane and Elizabeth, for Bingley and I had no say) decided to have a
double wedding since Mr. Bennet wouldn’t let Bingley or me pay for it. We felt this would defray some of the expense.
The wedding took place on August 21st at Pemberley. It was a great
day. We invited my sister, Georgiana, Wickham, Lydia, Bingley’s sisters, Mr.
Hurst, Mr. Collins, Charlotte, The Bennet family (of course), Lady Catherine and
her daughter. There were many others that shared in our joy.
After two years of being married, Elizabeth and I became expectant parents.
Jane and Bingley became parents after eighteen months of marriage. It was a
baby boy named William Charles Bingley. Nine months later our daughter, Emily
Beth Darcy, arrived.
We had a total of four children. Three boys named Gale, Peter, and Drew, and
our daughter, Emily Beth. Bingley and Jane had 8 children. I can barely handle
four let alone four more. They had six boys named Charles, Eli, Kyle, Zack,
Patrick, and Adam. Their two girls were Rose and Lilly. We are a very close
family.
The Second Proposal
Dear Georgiana,
I have some very exciting news for you. Elizabeth and I are ENGAGED. It’s a
long story, which I’m going to tell you because well, it’s a great story. The
night Bingley proposed, I couldn’t sleep. At six-thirty in the morning, I
decided to go for a stroll. All night I kept thinking about how I was so in
love with Elizabeth and how I wanted her to experience the same happiness as
Jane. I was jealous of Bingley’s happiness. On my walk, the only thing on my
mind was Elizabeth. I was paying no attention to where I was going and found
myself in the direction of the Bennet’s
house. All of a sudden, I see someone walking up the hill. It was Elizabeth. I
ran to her. I asked what she was doing out there all alone. She asked me the
same thing. She began to thank me for helping Lydia and asked me why I did it.
I told her it was because I loved her and I asked if she still felt the same
way about me as she did the last time I proposed. She said no. At that moment,
I proposed to her with the sunrise in the background. We immediately went to
her house so I could ask her father for her hand in marriage. He allowed me my
say. He then asked to speak to Elizabeth alone. She told him about what I did
for Lydia and his family. He immediately felt repayment was necessary. Which
you for one know, I would not let him do that. He gave us his blessing and
announced our engagement to the rest of the family. I hope you can participate
in my happiness.
Your
very happy brother,
Fitzwilliam
