Who should you marry?

In the second and final phase of “Marrying Mr. Darcy: the Game" all of the Heroines see which Suitors propose to them by rolling the dice. I had to decide how many points each Suitor was worth to each Heroine. I tried to do this based on how happy I thought these characters would actually be if they got together in the book. (There was actually some math and spreadsheets involved as well, but maybe that is for another blog.) Characters can get married for a total somewhere between +15 points (total bliss) to +5 (pretty miserable but hey, you are married). So for Georgiana:

#1. Col. Fitzwilliam: 13 points - Yeah, they’re cousins but that was pretty common back in the day. I imagine Georgiana growing up admiring the Colonel, and she’s rich, so he digs that.

#2. Mr. Wickham: 11 points - Well, as dastardly as he is, he loves her money, and she’s pretty naive. Probably would have worked well in the short term anyway. 

#3. Mr. Bingley: 11 points - Mr. Darcy’s trying to get these two together, or Caroline’s hoping that is the plan anyway. I think they would have been fairly happy together since they are both so agreeable. 

#4. Mr. Denny: 8 points - Mr. Denny is one of the officers in Meryton. The book doesn’t say too much about him, so I just had to make some things up in my head here. I think the unhappiness basically comes from Mr. Darcy most likely opposing the match. Also Denny seems a bit too gregarious for Georgiana. 

#5. Mr. Collins - 6 points: Yeah, Mr. Collins sucks. This combo would be a disaster and it would likely never happen. 

Georgiana can’t marry her brother, so that gives her one less suitor possibility from the other players. Her high dowry does help with other suitors however.

You've got to love someone who loves you back, and if you're not sure how to find that person, we've got a few suggestions.If you want someone who wants the same things as you, then marry someone who's intelligent and creative. Someone who can be relied on to keep the house spotless, cook your favorite meals and care for your children is a good bet. If they also have a good sense of humor, then it's all worthwhile.If you want to have children, then marry someone who is as responsible as possible when it comes to taking care of them. Someone who doesn't drink too much alcohol or use illegal drugs when they are pregnant or in the early days of parenthood is preferable since many women don't know their own limits until it's too late!
