And now, what you've all been waiting for, the final chapter! Once again, thank you to everyone who supported this story. I wouldn't have gotten this far if it weren't for you. Coming soon will be "All's Fair in Love and Showbusiness", another P & P story. Although I can't promise it right now, I'm planning on possibly writing a sequel to this story, which I might describe in future stories when I get more ideas. I look forward to writing again :)

It took two more years of struggles, but in 1906, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy finally got married. Their main struggle at first was dealing with Lydia and Wickham. Not long after their trip to London, they were already having personal problems. Lydia was usually confined to a small house they managed to get in the English countryside, without a chance of enjoying fine society, seeking accomplishments, or even going to school. Most of the arguments she had with Wickham involved her boredom, and Wickham, who quickly learned she was not the accomplished young lady she claimed to be when they first met, was often irritated with this. However, after Mr. Darcy started sending them small amounts of money to add to their narrow income, their relationship improved, since Mr. Wickham was now able to take his young wife to London every weekend, where he bought her clothes, jewelry, and even a piano (which she learned to play with the help of a wealthy friend). They lived above their income, and although things weren't as exciting for her as she anticipated upon first running off with George Wickham, Lydia was happy and never once thought of leaving him.

Then came Jane and Charles Bingley's marriage. At first, Caroline was very upset about this, but after getting to know Jane better, her approval increased and she found a good friend in her sister-in-law. Although she remained a little conceited, Jane's influence made her a little more humble than she was in the past. To make things better, Jane found more success at the Pemberley Theater, and by 1905, she was the highest paid actress there. With this money as well as Bingley's own large income, they were able to help Mr. Darcy pay his debts, have Elizabeth attend a women's college, and arranged their marriage in London. Charlotte Lucas and her husband Mr. Collins, a wealthy landowner, helped them find an elegant mansion in New York, where the couple happily settled in with Georgiana, who was happy to have Elizabeth as a sister-in-law. Mary and Kitty became frequent visitors here, and they made a lot of improvements here. Mary became less socially awkward, and Kitty learned to quit the silly habits she obtained from Lydia's influence.

Overall, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy were happy and lived for a long time, always surrounded by family, friends, and the occasional pets. Mr. Darcy's company was once again a success, and Elizabeth obtained her own success by writing romance novels, her most popular being one which was based on her relationship with Darcy under the name of Pride and Prejudice in New York. For years, young women were inspired by this lovely relationship and dreamed of finding their own equally romantic suitor.
