Marian Quote by Anne Bishop
““And what do you care anyway ? You don't want to marry me." "I do want to marry you !" She stamped her foot in frustration. "If there was a Priestess standing here, I'd marry you right this minute !" "She offered to marry him," Merry said. "In front of witnesses," Jaenelle added. Lucivar pointed a finger at Marian and snarled, "I accept." "And he accepted," Merry said gleefully. "In front of witnesses," Jaenelle added. "How soon can the Priestess get here ?””
