Dear Newlywed Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy,

I decided it would be in the best interest our friendship and now connected family if I write to you my congratulatory words of your new marriage. Of course with an income like yours, Mr. Darcy, you could afford to have an outlandishly eventful wedding and I'm sure it was almost as beautiful and touching as mine. Charlotte and I decided to go the other route for our vows, making it quite small and intimate, like our love that has grown over time. How happy I am to hear that Elizabeth did find a man who would take her as a wife, especially with all four of the sisters out all at the same time to be married. I heard the word of your lavish wedding through my darling Charlotte, whom, by the way, has quite the household running. We are so very happily married and nothing could be better for the two of us! As you know, Elizabeth was the object of my affection for a mere few minutes to fill in the slot open of my wife but how excited must you be to have your cherished Elizabeth by your side. The stars aligned for us newlyweds and you seem to rather happy with your life together and my Charlotte and I are ecstatic with ours. My life with Charlotte has been nothing but merry and lively. Rosings Park is looking better than ever, especially with all the different flowers and trees in bloom! I give my best wishes that Pemberely will too be looking as upright as our estate.

Seeing as soon enough I will be the owner of Elizabeth's father's property, we should all visit with each other soon if necessary to discuss the means of visiting Charlotte and I (when the time comes, of course) at Longbourn. I certainly hope that I don't inherit the estate anytime soon because I know the terrible loss we would have to lose in exchange. I know of the great friendship between my Charlotte and dear Elizabeth and whom am I to keep them away from each other, which is why I am inviting you to come anytime and as soon as possible, especially given the beauty of the estate, you are welcome anytime to share our space with you. I also heard of young Lydia's marriage to the somewhat respectable Mr. Wickham. How beautiful to be juvenile and in love for your young sister! How I remember the love blossoming between my lovely wife and I being such a thrill and new experience, finding out about each other and more about our future together was a beautiful way to bond. It must be exciting to have two of your beloved sisters married off, including yourself. It must have been worrying, Elizabeth, after you decided to wait to marry until you were ready. Never knowing really if you are going to be shipped off to a husband to be taken care of seems troubling! Oh, how your mother must feel relieved to rid three of her five daughters, who essentially pose as an impediment on the family's life. Any children for our family will be such a blessing, but to bear sons for me will be an honor for Charlotte. Too many daughters will make us end up like your mother and father, which is just much too stressful for Charlotte and I. With this, I do wish your newly wedded couple to have the best of luck creating a family that will be as hopeful and functional as my future family. I would love to share many laughs and tears with our families together and seeing as myself and Charlotte will be joyful to share our house with you for any amount of time you need, we shall share more than just memories together!

Yours truly,

&c.c.
