Marriage Quote by Charlotte Brontë
““Are you in earnest? - Do you truly love me? - Do you sincerely wish me to be your wife?' 'I do; and if an oath is necessary to satisfy you, I swear it.' 'Then, sir, I will marry you.' 'Edward - my little wife!' 'Dear Edward!' 'Come to me - come to me entirely now,' said he: and added, in his deepest tone, speaking in my ear as his cheek was laid on mine, 'Make my happiness - I will make yours.””
