Marry for Love | comment |
Not for money, power, political alliance, social standing, compatibility, looks, children... but because they are attracted to the other person, feel a bond with them and want to be with them for as long as possible. Of course, those things might end up being part of the package anyway. Marry for Love comes in when a character in a work declares that they are not going to enter matrimony unless they have chosen and love the other person first. To them, there's no point in entering a lifelong relationship unless they can actually stand their spouse. This epiphany may occur when someone brings up the option of an Arranged Marriage, or simply the fact that the character in question is still single. They may or may not have already found their betrothed at this point in the story. Usually associated with female characters, but rarely (if ever) with males. This may result in a Runaway Fiancé when the character runs away to get out of marriage. This is obviously Truth in Television with a lot of people, but it's Newer Than They Think. Compare with the Rebellious Princess, an (almost) Always Female character who runs off with someone whom her parents have deemed unworthy. Also compare the Perfectly Arranged Marriage, where Marriage Before Romance occurs, similar to Rule-Abiding Rebel. And finally, compare Not with Them for the Money. |

Heralds of Valdemar: In the first book of the Mage Winds trilogy, Princess Elspeth is resigned to participating in Altar Diplomacy as part of her duties as Heir. Then she thinks about it and realizes that all of Valdemar's neighbors are either solid allies or sworn enemies, neither of which are likely to change because of a marriage or lack thereof in her lifetime, and so perhaps she can find a love match as some of her fellow Heralds have. In the second book, while on an unrelated quest, she does, and in the third, they marry. Unless they luck into circumstances like Elspeth's (and being a Herald helps), marrying for love isn't a realistic option for most Valdemaran nobility, which is explored in Closer to Home. While her older sisters scheme to marry wealth, Violetta is In Love with Love, which nearly gets her whole family killed when the son of a rival family seduces her and plots to obtain both family fortunes via mass murder. Violetta, having declared her intention to marry for love and seen it seemingly fulfilled, doesn't realize what's happening until it's far too late. The main characters, members of the more sexually liberated Heralds, decide that something ought to be done about a culture that raises girls to aspire to no more than a good match. |

Bleach: Byakuya Kuchiki was a noble who fell in love with the commoner Hisana. His clan did not approve, but he fought for her and gained the right for them to marry. In a flashback arc, it's revealed that Masaki was originally adopted into the Ishida family as part of the matriarch's plan to set up an Arranged Marriage between Masaki and her son Ryuuken. A confession is made to the family's maid, Katagiri, that the reason the Arranged Marriage will never work as the matriarch hopes is that they will never be Happily Married and the best future for the Quincies is to marry for love instead of blood purity or status. While it's clear that Masaki is unhappy with the situation, the twist is that the desire to marry for love is not her confession, it's Ryuuken's. Eventually, the Arranged Marriage falls through. Masaki and Isshin marry for love, and so do Ryuuken and Katagiri. |

Disney Animated Canon: In Aladdin, Princess Jasmine rejected dozens of suitors because she refused to marry a man she didn't love. She ends up married to Aladdin after falling in love with him. Prince Philip wants to marry a woman he loves in Sleeping Beauty, even though he's been betrothed to Princess Aurora since early childhood. Luckily for them, the peasant girl with whom he's fallen so passionately in love actually is Princess Aurora, and the result is a Perfectly Arranged Marriage. |

George in Umineko: When They Cry is one rare male example, and even has an exchange about this with his mother Eva. He says that it makes no sense to marry someone you don't love;Â she replies that it makes even less sense to marry someone just because of love, and that love is something that comes after you're married. She would know: When her brother and his wife were having trouble conceiving, Eva proposed to her then-boyfriend, Hideyoshi in the hopes of having a child that could become the next Ushiromiya heir. Despite this (and Eva's other issues), the two are the most stable among the couples. | |

Downplayed in Ojojojo. Haru rejected the list of potential husbands that her father had given her so she could confess to Tsurezure, and he accepted her answer without question since her happiness is more important to him than seeing that she gets married. Bonus points for the fact that it was also the trigger for her Love Epiphany. A newspaper article in Komori-san Can't Decline! hints that they got married about four years later (which was later confirmed in the epilogue). | |

In Odin Sphere, Prince Cornelius of Titania wants to marry Velvet, to the disapproval of his father King Edmund, who wants to put him in an Arranged Marriage with one of the daughters of Demon King Odin of Ragnanival. Slightly muddying the waters is that Velvet is a princess, but as Edmund points out, her kingdom is in ruins and her people "supposedly" dead (they're not, just turned into rabbit-like Pookas, but that would be unlikely to get Edmund's or the Titanian people's approval). Velvet's twin brother also doesn't approve of their attraction, and decides to curse Cornelius into a Pooka, toss him into the Netherworld, and use magic to masquerade as him just to put the final nail in the coffin (granted, he had other reasons to want to infiltrate the Titanian royal family, but he didn't hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity). Luckily for Cornelius, he manages to make things work with Velvet. | |

Der Stechlin: Ermyntrude Katzler was born as a Princess of Ippe-Büchsenstein, but became a commoner to marry Wladimir Katzler, the head forester of the Stechlin region. Fontane treats this marriage fairly realistically, showing that there is some stress between the still somewhat exalted former princess and her more down-to-earth husband. | |

In The Spine of the World from Paths of Darkness, this trope is played with. Meralda's lord catches sight of her and falls in love with her, and sends his steward to propose to her.

The White Queen: Jacquetta of Luxembourg's second husband is Richard Woodville, a lowly squire far beneath her noble rank whom she fell in love with (although he was bestowed the title of Baron Rivers at a later date). Edward IV defies the custom that a king should marry a princess by making Elizabeth Woodville, a penniless Lancastrian commoner with whom he's besotted, his Queen consort. After a myriad of hurdles spread out over several years, Anne Neville and Richard of Gloucester eventually attain a Childhood Friend Romance and tie the knot. |

The Villainess Lives Again: Invoked. Artezia suggests that Cedric presents their impromptu courtship and marriage as a love match, so people won't immediately assume he's siding with Laurence in the ongoing Succession Crisis. It works, in part because it's not as much of an act as either of them would like it to be: It's strongly implied that Tia secretly loved Cedric even in the previous timeline and Cedric's vague memory of the past life's tormented Tia draws him to her. | |

In Spinning Silver, the Duke of Visnya married his first wife, Irina's mother, because he loved her. Irina, grown and with her mother long dead, is pretty sure that her dad must have been angry with himself for doing so because he brutally practical in all other respects and never takes a risk without being sure he's going to get something of good value in return. His second marriage was to a rich widow of equal social rank who gave him the male heirs he wanted, so he ignores the plain daughter of his first wife because she isn't of much practical use to him. | |

In Hurog, a surprising number (considering the setting, and the predominance of arranged marriages) of people marry for love, although none marry beneath their station. Ward gets to marry the noblewoman Tisala whom he deeply admires, and who also likes him, his sister Ciarra marries one of her cousins, informing Ward (her eldest male relative) of the fact only after the engagement, and, surprisingly Garranon, who was Mistaken for Gay by some because he was the king's concubine for the past fifteen years, loves his wife very much, and she him. | |

Wolf Hall Thomas Cromwell's daughter Anne asks him if she can choose whom she marries (having overheard a lot of talk about Henry VIII's woes in this matter). Cromwell says yes, mentally adding "within reason." He's relieved when she says she would choose to marry his ward Rafe, though she dies of illness soon after. After becoming well and truly fed up with being denigrated by her family and used as Henry's bedwarmer during Anne's pregnancy, Mary Boleyn marries the poor but kind knight William Stafford. She is banished from court as a result, but when she later writes to Cromwell asking for monetary help, she says she'd rather be begging her bread with William than a rich queen. Rafe secretly marries Helen Barre, a poor probably-a-widow Cromwell had hired into his household (she had previously been attracted to Cromwell, but he didn't notice), only revealing it when her pregnancy will start to show. Cromwell scolds him for marrying without any attention to practicality, but he comes around soon enough and talks Rafe's father round to it as well. (Rafe and Helen did remain married for the rest of their lives, but he had to get an Act of Parliament to legitimize their union and children when her husband reappeared ten years later.) |

Codex Alera: It is said the nobility and Citizenry of Alera rarely, if ever, wed for anything romantic. Only the commoners can have this luxury. Princeps Septimus, son of Gaius, sole heir to the throne, rejected an arranged marriage and chose to marry a common girl because he truly fell in love with her. In Cursor's Fury Lord Placidus gives this as his reasoning for complying with the villain's ransom demands when the villain reveals he kidnapped Placidus's wife. This leads him to immediately get his armies into fighting position, on the logic that either his wife will be freed soon by the First Lord's agents, or killed, and in either case, there would be nothing holding him back from kicking the guy's arse up between his ears. |

Dragon Quest V: While Nera is usually the model of daughterly obedience when her father sets up an Engagement Challenge to determine who will win the right to marry her, she protests and states that she wants to marry for love. This is somewhat undercut, however, when she notices that The Hero is among the candidates, as she had developed a crush on him the moment she met. | |

Her chosen fiancé, Andrew, is a genuinely lovely man and they do hit it off, but they come to the realization that they are Better as Friends. Ironically, Mia's main love interest, Nicholas, would've also been a suitable fiancé for her — Nicholas even suggests the possibility, only for it to be shot down by his power-hungry uncle, who wants Nicholas to become a King himself rather than marry a Queen (since Nicholas is also a viable blood heir for the throne through a long-distance relationship with the Renaldis). Mia and Andrew break things off but remain close friends, and Mia gets to have a real relationship with Nicholas. | |

Fox on Gargoyles. Xanatos, the richest man in the world asks her to marry him, and her response is, "What about ... love?" He responds with a fairly clinical evaluation of their mutual compatibility. Part of that episode was Xanatos learning he really did love Fox; he asks for Goliath's help on that basis. | |

Girl Genius: Gilgamesh Wulfenbach isn't happy when his father announces it's time for him to get married and that he will arrange for a suitable match. Gil even admits to his manservant that for a long time he dreamed about a girl who could understand him and be his partner. It's one of the reasons for his Wacky Marriage Proposal to Agatha later on. Sleipnir abandons the political marriage waiting for her, even though she wasn't particularly dreading it, in favour of eloping with Theo Du Medd. Seffie does a variant. She encourages her cousin Tarvek to pursue Agatha because this will result in leaving Gil alone, where he will be more amenable to a political marriage with her. She loves him, but is aware he'll probably never love her back; a coldly logical marriage, in her mind, is better than nothing. |

Mansfield Park: Fanny Price in her first major act of independence and defiance refuses to marry the despicable Henry Crawford because she does not love him and knows what's Beneath the Mask. He is rich and charming, and everybody expects her to accept him. Inverted by Romantic False Lead Mary Crawford who has Gold Digger tendencies, despite being a wealthy heiress with a huge dowry. Mary genuinely falls in love with Edmund but refuses to marry him unless he's richer. He should abandon his dream of being a clergyman for some better profession (better in Mary's eyes). She later wishes his ill older brother dies so that he could get the family estate. That is about when Edmund truly sees her colours. |

Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice says she won't marry anyone unless it's for love. This causes her to turn down two marriage proposals, one from a well-off (but insufferable) pastor and one from a filthy rich but incredibly snobby gentleman. She eventually marries the rich guy anyway after a great deal of Character Development on both their parts results in genuine love between them. Lizzie does have her doubts about holding out for love instead of accepting the overtures of the insufferable pastor and evinces some sympathy when her best friend snaps him up instead. This is worth noting because the novel came out only 200 years ago, showing just how recently the idea of marrying for love was still a risky venture. | |

Catherine Morland of Northanger Abbey quickly falls for Henry Tilney, whose family is much richer than hers. Although the Morlands are landed gentry and comfortably off, they aren't rich enough for General Tilney, and Henry openly defies his father in proposing to Catherine anyway. (That said, Catherine and Henry's great romance is gently mocked by the narrator as having no stronger a foundation than Henry being flattered by Catherine's obvious crush on him.) | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Zigzagged by Aegon the Conqueror, who got his way by marrying both women in question. Targaryen Royal Inbreeding customs prescribed that Aegon marry his older sister Visenya, but his younger sister Rhaenys was his preference. He married one for duty, the other for love. After the death of his first wife, Viserys I defied the suggestion for him to marry Laena Velaryon, and instead wedded Alicent Hightower, the daughter of his Hand. While Alicent was not a lowborn (the Hightowers were one of the oldest and richest houses in the Seven Kingdoms), the Velaryons were the Targaryens' traditional allies, and marrying Laena would preserve the stability of the realm in the long run, while the Hightowers were ambitious social climbers who had other ideas for the crown, to the detriment of Viserys' chosen heir and daughter by his first wife, Rhaenyra. Needless to say, it didn't end well. In contrast to her previous marriages to Ossifer Plumm and Ronnel Penrose, Elaena Targaryen's third marriage to Michael Manwoody was for love. She married him because of his passion for music, and when he died, she personally arranged for his effigy be made carrying a harp, instead of a sword and shield befitting a knight. Aegon V broke with the Targaryen dynastic tradition of Brother–Sister Incest and married for love. At the time, this was allowed because he was the thirteenth Spare to the Throne; when he, the fourth son of a fourth son, somehow ended up with the crown, he was immediately dubbed "Aegon the Unlikely." Even worse, all three of his sons did the same, against his wishes. Crown Prince Duncan abdicated the throne to wed a commoner, Jenny of Oldstones; his youngest son Daeron died in battle, unwed, alongside his close personal friend Ser Jeremy Norridge; and the middle son, Jaehaerys, eloped with his beloved... his sister, Princess Shaera. And, just to add insult to injury, Jaehaerys didn't follow his father's example with his own children and forced his son Aerys II and daughter Rhaella to marry, to their great displeasure. Mad King Aerys's general unhappiness resulted in a civil war that set the stage for the Song of Ice and Fire series as a whole. Harshly deconstructed in the case of Robb Stark. The Young Wolf breaks off a politically important Arranged Marriage when he falls for the Florence Nightingale Effect after he's wounded in battle. He hastily arranges for his uncle to marry his fiancée in his place in an effort to uphold the alliance... but at the wedding feast, he, his mother, and many of his high command are murdered by their hosts, who took the snub as an excuse to change allegiance. This is the famous "Red Wedding" which you may have heard many readers and Game of Thrones viewers lamenting recently. Lord Tywin Lannister married his cousin Joanna for love. Hypocritically, he wants his own children to marry for political advantage. Tywin also never remarried; those closest to him describe Joanna's death as his Cynicism Catalyst. |

While the player doesn't get to witness Schera's answer (due to Rean running away to prevent being a Moment Killer), the epilogue of the game clearly has Schera say yes. They reaffirm the reason why they marry for love in their side episode in The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie. | |

Game of Thrones, the televised adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire: The fate of Robb Stark, who forgoes his betrothal to a Frey girl in order to marry Talisa. The Freys are understandably insulted. They even kill him over it. The major differences between the show and the books is that his new bride is a field medic, who he meets in the aftermath of a battle. Additionally, while book!Robb bade Jeyne Westerling stay home during the massacre that killed him, TV!Robb brought Talisa with him and was pleased to learn that she had quickened and was carrying his child. At the Red Wedding, she too was slain. Though it wasn't confirmed in the books yet, it's revealed in both the Season 6 and 7 finales that Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark fell in love and secretly married each other in Dorne. But prior to that, Rhaegar annulled his marriage with Elia Martell without the knowledge of the entire realm, and Lyanna was betrothed to Robert Baratheon. As expected, Poor Communication Kills, which led many to believe that Rhaegar abandoned his wife and kidnapped Lyanna, culminating in a deadly civil war that cost many lives, including their own, and drove Rhaegar's remaining family members into exile. |

Willoughby, faced with a financial emergency, quickly abandons Marianne for a wealthy heiress who wants to get away from her guardians. Edward, meanwhile, is intended for a rich woman he's never even met and knows that his mother is likely to disinherit him if he chooses a woman who isn't fabulously wealthy (never mind a poor one like Elinor). | |

In the unabridged version, the king and queen answer him with the song "What Has Love Got to Do With Getting Married?" With the song "Position and Positioning", the Edward's valet and friend John explains that all people are limited to marrying within their own social stratum, and so lack freedom to Marry for Love. After hearing this, the prince knights John, granting him the status he needs to marry the noblewoman he loves. |

Friends: Rachel leaves her fiancé at the altar because she wants to marry for love and almost immediately meets Ross. Of course, thanks to her rather fickle nature, this turns out to be a complicated journey. She and Ross do eventually get together, and it's implied they do get married. Monica also shows shades of this, determined to have a happy family and loving husband, but resisting her mother's pressuring. When Rachel encourages her to date and marry a billionaire, Monica refuses because she doesn't have feelings for him. She succeeds in her quest a lot quicker than Rachel and marries her best friend Chandler. |

The Sunne in Splendour portrays two cases of marrying for love based on real historic events. Edward IV marries the commoner Elizabeth Woodville rather than a foreign princess and alienates his key allies. His youngest brother, Richard, Duke of Gloucester also marries his childhood sweetheart, the widowed Anne Neville, over the strong objections of their third brother George. When Edward questions why Richard is willing to go through so much trouble, including giving up a large part of Anne's fortune to appease George, Richard asks what dowery Elizabeth brought to Edward, a remark that wins Edward's respect. | |

Downton Abbey: Lady Mary refuses to marry Matthew when he becomes the heir (even though she had been willing to marry the previous heir without love). Ironically, she does end up marrying for love - with Matthew. They slowly developed feelings for each other. Mary's younger sister Sybil is a more straightforward version of this trope when she marries Tom, the family chauffeur, for love, and repeatedly citing that love whenever she is questioned on her choice in husband by the rest of her family. Mary and Sybil's cousin Rose declares she will only marry for love and doesn't want to be pressured into a marriage just for the sake of it now that she's "out" in society. Shortly afterwards, she falls for and marries Atticus Aldridge. |

The eponymous Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. It's notable in that Tuppence was of the practical order and fully intended to marry as rich as possible until being faced with the opportunity to do so led her to realize that she had in fact loved Tommy all along. | |
