Couples That Never Were, But Should Have Been...



Soooo....

Everybody knows those movies where guy meets girl, guy and girl become friends, guy and girl are together all the time and you are just bouncing up and down squealing "OH MY GOODNESS THIS COUPLE IS SOOOO CUTE ILOVETHEMSOMUCH!!! HOW MUCH LONGER TILL THEY PROCLAIM THEIR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER!?!" And then you watch in anticipation as the end of the movie draws closer... and closer... and closer... and then suddenly... IT. ENDS. 

The movie ends and does the unspeakable...

THEY DON'T END UP TOGETHER

If you are anything like me you will proceed to scream and cry and wail and throw your popcorn bowl at the screen (don't worry, it's empty because you finished your popcorn before the opening credits were even over) and then you will gain control of yourself and say that you are over it, until somebody accidentally mentions said movie, in which case you will climb up onto your soap box and begin to tell the world how mad you are that guy and girl didn't end up together, and why guy and girl were perfect for each other, and how if you had been the producer of this movie, things would have been different. You then consider writing a letter to the producer to tell him how seriously displeased you are, which then morphs into the idea of producing your own remake of the movie just so that guy and girl will end up together, but then you remember that you don't even have enough money to buy a drink at Starbucks, therefore leaving you with nothing to do except complain to your friends and family members or whoever you can get to listen to you. 

Thus is the plight of many of us poor movie watching girls. 

All that to say... this post is mostly going to be me complaining about mislead lovers. If you don't want to listen to that, then you better leave, really fast. But you might feel the same about some of these characters! So if you haven't left already, do read on! 

Btw, there will be A TON of spoilers. Pretty much this entire post will be spoilers so if you have not seen any of these movies than I suggest you wait until you have. But I digress...



This Beautiful Fantastic; Vernon and Bella


Ok, so I should first say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE TO LITTLE BITTSY PIECES (review coming soon!) and I have nothing against the way it ended. BUT... I do think it would have been absolutely adorable and the sweetest thing for Bella and Vernon to have gotten married. Bella was such a doll, so cute. AND VERNON!!!! OHMYWORDOHMYWORD!!!! He's just... I mean... he's just... ASDFGWLTYPEHRGK!!!!!!!



Ok, if you have not seen this movie you won't understand all this fangirling, but if you have, DO YOU NOT AGREE!!! Vernon was the sweetest, awesomest character in the entire movie. He was adorable, and lovable, and GAAAAHHHHH!!

GUYS!! THIS SCEEEEENE!! Just Watch This. WATCH IT




DID YOU WATCH IT!!! DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND!!

"How long has it been since you've been hugged?"
"It's been awhile."

Just sniffles and smiles and happiness <3




They would have been an adorable couple, and I thought that was what was going to happen at first, but then Billy showed up and ya'll know what happened after that. 

SUCH SADNESS MY HEART WENT THROUGH AT ANOTHER CERTAIN PART...

You know, that part where Vernon finds Bella asleep at her desk and they start talking about Billy...

"So what does Mr. Wonderful do?"
"He creates mechanical animals."
"Oh. At least he's got prospects."

SOB. The SADNESS in Vernon's great big brown puppy-dog eyes, because he loved Bella :(



*sniffle sniffle*

I DID like Billy, he was very sweet and was just the right amount of "odd" for Bella. I liked them together, BUT BELLA AND VERNON WERE BETTER!!!!

Think of it! Vernon and Bella would get married, and Vernon's darling little girls (they were stinkin' adorable btw <3) would have a mama again, and they would all live happily ever after. But alas, not all things are meant to be. 



P.S. I will hopefully be doing a post just about Vernon soon! Let me know in the comments if you'd be interested in such a post!


Cranford; Dr. Marshland and Mary


So I know I'm not the only one who hoped for this pairing. I've heard many a Cranford fan complain that they didn't end up together. They would have been a great couple!! Yeah, I've always been a little bugged with Dr. Marshland for creating that whole mess for poor Dr. Harrison (scowls at Dr. Marshland), but Mary was there to set him straight, which she did a capital job of! Can I hear an Amen!!


So yeah... I can't really think of anything else to say about them, except that I would have really liked to see Mary have a romantic attachment, and Jack Marshland would have been perfect!

Sorry for the bad quality, it was the only other pic of them together 

Pride and Prejudice; Mr. Collins and Mary Bennet




WOULD THESE TWO NOT BE PERFECT TOGETHER

I'm not sayin' that Jane Austen didn't know best, and I know that if these two had gotten together it would probably have thrown the whole book off, but you gotta admit that they were exactly each others cup of tea. (Mr. Collins just didn't go for her cause she wasn't pretty. Talk about conceited)

But anyways, Mary was very into reading and philosophical stuff, so was Mr. Collins. She took pride in being a very book learned person, so did Mr. Collins. They both enjoy criticizing their friends and family quite condescendingly. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR!!

At one point in the book, it states that Mary would not have minded marrying Mr. Collins at all, and would have liked for him to notice her. So there was at least a one-sided attraction. 


But look at Mary's face!! She was REEEEEEALLY hoping that Mr. Collins was going to ask her for the first dance. I feel so sorry for her at times :(.

My word, this post has gotten long! I believe I will stop here and maybe do a second post later! Thanks ya'll for enduring my gushing and complaining! Sorry that I have been so bad about posting lately, it's been a crazy school year *sigh*. But I will try to be better...



P.S. New blog look (in case you haven't already figured that out :P) It was time for a Fall look. What do you think?! Bye!


What say you? 
Do you agree on any of these couples? 
Who are a few couples that you would have liked to see end up together?
Let me know in the comments!

  1. YES! Jack and Mary, please!! I recently re-watched Cranford and was so frustrated at them; how can they not see what's right in front of their noses? (Oh..that was an unintentional, very bad, eyesight pun.)

    Also, your new blog design is lovely! :)

  3. Agghh. The horrible question of what might have been....

  4. Ahhh I loved this post idea. :D And YES. I wish Mary and Jack had been a couple, too. I think their personalities balanced each other out so well. <3

    I always feel so bad for poor Mary....but I'm not sure I'd wish Mr. Collins for her, no matter how much she liked him! xD I like to think she meets a nice, bookish fellow one day and they get married. :)

    1. Okay so I watched "This Beautiful Fantastic".....and ahhh oh my word IT WAS SO SWEET.

      And yes. As adorable as Billy and Bella were together, half of me ships Vernon and Bella more. <33 They were too precious.

      Thanks for introducing me to this movie! :D

  5. Okay, I haven't seen the first one, but the other two--

    I have to agree with you about Dr. Marshland and Mary. I think he was a little immature for her, yes, but I was hoping that in Return to Cranford he'd come back more mature and--but alas. Agreed, though.

    Mmm, yes, it's true. In the movie Mary definitely has a thing for that hilariously odious clergyman, and really it's not a stretch. It could have easily been in the book if Jane Austen felt like paying attention to Mary. Poor Mary. I've been looking for a good match for her.

    I LOVE the new look!!! I saw it and wondered if it was new. It's perfectly lovely!!!

  6. MR. COLLINS AND MARY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A THING. When you watch the '95 movie you can see that Mary liked him. I think she would have been better then Charlotte marring him. *pouty face* But, she probably wouldn't have invited Elizabeth and that big part wouldn't have happened, and if she had gotten married then Kitty would be the only one who didn't and it doesn't seem fair that way. But still...

    I can't wait for your second post!

  7. why Miss Woodhouse, this post was so spot on! I feel the same about all of these couples! Mary and Dr.Marshland! oh, Someday maybe. You have a wonderful blog.

  8. I really enjoyed this post!
    I have never seen that movie with Andrew Scott! But I know from watching Sherlock BBC that he is a splendid actor. :) I will have to put that movie on my "To Watch" list!
    Also, I AGREE ABOUT MR. COLLINS AND MARY. Why didn't Jane Austen think of such a thing?!?!?!?
    I don't know. I have a hard time imagining Mary being married to anyone, after all.
    Anyways, I hope you are having a good Fall. :D

  9. VERNON AND BELLA YAAAAAAASSSSSS <333333

    Those gifs, though. And I KNOOOOOWWW, the part where he wakes Bella up and we can see a bit of sadness in his face!! Even though he's such a champ and covers up well for her. BUT I SHIP IT SO HARD.

    We have but one mind and one manner of thinking regarding this movie -- it was perfect as it was, but it would have been MORE perfect if Bella and Vernon had ended up together. *sniffle* :)

    AND YAAASSS, please write those posts!! We need more Vernon/This B. F. posts. :) <3

    And I agree with you about the other two couples, too, by the way. ;D

    To quote Mr. Lucas in P&P, "Splendid, splendid!" ;D ;D <333

  10. I gotta say, Dr. Marshland and Mary...*shakes head* I was rooting for them harder than for them harder than Dr. Harrison and Sophie. I mean, we all knew those two would end up together, no matter what. And as much as I love that couple...there's just something a little, dare I say, boring, about their relationship. They're both just so good. Dr. Marshland and Mary Smith, now, those two had some color.
    Yeah. They're my favorite shoulda-been couple.

  11. Haha, I DO agree with Mary Bennet/Mr. Collins. They would be so perfect... XD
