Lovely Blog Party // Aragorn and Arwen + Arthur and Amy

Hi! So, I apologize for not participating in this blog party more! I had every intention of doing so, but then I was sick for about two weeks, putting me behind in my schoolwork, which didn't leave me any time for blogging, which is why I am so late with this post. I have decided to go ahead and combine the two posts I planned to do, because being the really slow writer I am, I don't think I'll have time to write up two posts. So here we go!

~Aragorn and Arwen~

These two!!! I just loves them so much!!! They are so perfect for each other. I loooove Arwen (stop giving me that red squiggly line Blogger, Arwen is totally a real name) I mean, she gave up her immortality to be with Aragorn!! She tells him, "I would rather share one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone." That to me is not only a gorgeous quote, but it also shows just how much she loves him. Arwen is not afraid of facing death, as long as it means she gets to share her life with the one she loves. 

I also love how dedicated to her Aragorn is (also a real name, AHEM) When he realizes that Eowyn is in love with him, Aragorn, as gently as possible, tells her that his heart is already taken. He never wavers in his love for Arwen, in all their time apart.

Their reunion in the end is so sweeeeeet!! After all that time apart, they both love each as just much as ever, and they are finally married!! Everybody say Aaawwwwww!! <3 <3 <3

~Arthur and Amy~

Well. These two had a bit of a rougher time of it, didn't they? 

Amy Dorrit is such a sweetheart. She's quiet and shy, and often times may seem to allow herself to become a little bit of a door mat. But she's not! What she is, is incredibly patient with her family, who are always horrible to her. When Amy meets Arthur Clennam, she falls in love with him almost from the very beginning. 

And guess what?

Arthur doesn't know it. He's just hum-dumming along, lost in his own little world, completely blind to the fact that sweet little Amy Dorrit is head-over-heels for him. In fact, he's in love with someone else, and thinks of Amy as only a good friend. He even confides to Amy about this other girl that he is in love with, making poor Little Dorrit absolutely heart broken. Then this other girl goes and gets herself engaged, and Arthur gets his turn to be heart broken for awhile. 

Meanwhile, Amy still has feelings for him, but has accepted the fact that he will never love her *sniffle sniffle* Then a lot of plot twists occur, and Amy leaves the Marshelsea (is that how you spell it?) with her family, and doesn't see Arthur for a very long time. 

*Insert many, many more plot twists here*

And all this plot twisting ends with Arthur landing himself in the Marshelsea prison for debt. It's here that Poor John Chivery tells Arthur that Amy has feelings for him. Let me recreate the whole tear wrenching scene for you. 

 John cries, "How can you not know it? The walls in this room know it!! Do you think everything I did was for you? It wasn't! I did it for her!"

To which a very confused Arthur replies, "Who?"

And then John's tearful answer. "For Amy!! Because she loves you!!" 

You're welcome for that. *hands out tissues*

So after this declaration, Arthur is hit by the realization that it is Amy he loved all along, and when she comes back to the Marshelsea to take care of him after he gets sick, he tells her that he loves her, and all is happiness and butterflies and sunshine once more!!

And even though it may sound like I don't like Arthur that much, because it took so long for him to realize (as a matter of fact he didn't even realize, HE HAD TO BE TOLD) *Frowns at Arthur* I really do like him very much. He was such a gentleman, and wanted to do the right thing so very badly, who could help but love him? He and Amy both deserved, as well as earned, their happily ever after.

And with that, my contribution to the Lovely Blog Party is finished!! I hope ya'll enjoyed it! Thanks for hosting this blog party Cordy, I had a blast being part of it. I only wish I could have participated a little bit more! Sorry also for not getting out that Minnie and Alfie post I mentioned, maybe I'll just have to write it separately later! 

TTFN, Ta-Ta for now!!

Just a Brief Hello...

Hello out there to all my fellow sisters in loneliness!! If you are as lonely as I, come join my party of alone lonely loners!! We will have ice cream and chocolate, and watch chick flicks, and all mourn our lonely, singledom!! What fun!

So as this day of aloneness was fast approaching, I thought and thought and thought and thought of some clever post that I could write, in honor of this momentous occasion...

(btw, nothing can beat this amount of cleverness. Bravo Natalie ;))

Annnnnd...

I got nuthin'.

Zero. Zilch. Noodle. 

So since I am so uncreative, I had decided I would simply write a post for the Lovely Blog Party, since I have yet to do that. But now that it actually comes down to writing it, I don't actually feel like writing it right now. 

Therefore, this is a very short post. I leave you all with this valentine because it made me laugh, and I take my leave! Happy Valentines Day!

Lovely Blog Party Kick Off!!

Lizzie! Mama! Guess what! Oh you'll never guess so I shall tell you! Mrs. Forrester has invited me as her particular friend.... Oh wait... I believe that's the wrong announcement...

What I meant to say, is that Cordy is hosting a Lovely Blog Party for the entire month of February!!

*Throws confetti and blows up some of Gandalf's fireworks*

So! You can go to Cordy's blog for all the details, but basically, we are all going to be writing about some of our favorite couples for all of February (cause y'know, Valentines Day and stuff ;))! I'm super excited, so to kick it off, I'm going to start by filling out the lovely tag that Cordy created!

Rules:

Using the prompts below, answer the following questions as creatively as you please

None of the questions require you to answer with a favorite in the category, only to find a fitting answer. They can be old, they can be new, they can be borrowed or they can be blue... they can be known or they can be unknown. You can explain your answer once you've given one.

Ivanhoe and Rebecca: Name a couple that should have been together

Oh, this one's a no brainer for me. Bella and Vernon from This Beautiful Fantastic should have toootally been a couple. I believe I have mentioned my opinion on this before, but one can never talk to much of good thing (or what could have been a good thing *ahem* scriptwriters!!!) They were super cute together and I think Vernon kind of liked her, but unfortunately, Bella's affections were already taken *sigh* Alas for what could have been!!

Jo and Laurie: Name a couple that should have stayed friends...or did stay friends...

Ummm... I kinda drawing a blank on this one. Alf Arliss and Laura Timmins maybe? Although I don't think Laura ever felt that way about Alfie, Alfie liked her for awhile. And they always remained good friends, even when Laura told Alfie that she could never feel that way about him. And I'm glad it worked out that way, because later Alfie found a much better match whom I will talk about in a minute!

Jane and Mr. Rochester: Name a couple that looked like the chances of a happily ever after were next to none!

These two! Elinor and Edward had a bit of a bumpy road to romance, because Edward was a little on the silly side in his younger years and proposed to Lucy Steele (whatever was he thinking!) But it seems Lucy's affections took a little turn, to everybody's satisfaction, and Elinor and Edward got their happy ending :)

Jane and Mr. Bingley: Name a couple that is just sooo happy!

Umm, I think I'm gonna go with Emma and Mr. Knightley. This gif totally shows it, they are so in love. I love these two, so sweet!!

Kit and Ella: Name your favorite fairytale couple

I've got the same answer as you Cordy! I looooove Kit and Ella. They give me happy fuzzies!!

Molly Gibson and Roger Hamley: Name a couple where the woman is basically ignored by the suitor until the end of the story (frustration at it's finest!! :P :P)

Amy Dorrit and Arthur Clennam. Oh, poor, poor Amy!! I feel so sorry for her. She is the sweetest thing, and she really deserved his love. And I really liked Arthur too, but come one! Like poor John Chivery says, "How do you not know it! The walls in this room know it!" *sniffles for poor John* Anyways, they did get a happy ending, though it took them awhile to get there!

Sarah and Jacob Witting: Name a couple that found love later in life

I think I'm gonna go with Dorcas Lane and Gabriel Cochrane. I could never quite decide if I liked Gabriel or not, but I was glad that he and Dorcas ended up together. They made a cute couple :D Also, there is a shocking lack of pictures of them together, so I had to settle for separate picture of each. *sigh* 

Don Lockwood and Kathy Seldon: Name a couple from a musical

I'm gonna go with P.T. Barnum and Charity. I loved their relationship sooo much. They were absolutely adorable.

(I love Kathy Seldon and Don Lockwood too, but Cordy stole it ;))

Anne and Gilbert: Name a couple that didn't start out on the right foot

Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox! These two are hilarious!! And what makes it so funny, is that they are best friends online, but when they meet in person (without knowing that they are each others internet friends) they hate each other!! But of course, they eventually grow on each other ;)

Faramir and Eowyn: Name a couple with the sweetest love story

MINNIE AND ALFIE FROM LARKRISE TO CANDLEFORD!!! THESE TWO!!!!! They are so stinkin adorable!! I will say no more, because I plan to devote a post to them sometime during this blog party!

So, what do you think? Who are some of your guy's favorite couples? Any of the above mentioned? Thanks so much for this awesome tag Cordy!! I had a great time filling it out, and I hope to have some other blog party posts out soon! TTFN, ta ta for now!!
