My ideal couple:
4th and final couple for the mini-challenge
and surprise match-up - I picked a wildcard instead of Nicole's eligibles

Catherine & Pug (inspired by Mansfield Park)

While I'm tickled with the idea of Catherine and boy toy Henry hooking up and since she has already been married once before, she really just needs a dog.

While in the vicinity of Mansfield Park, Lady De Bourgh is asked to afternoon tea with Lady Bertram. As the scones and tea are served in the sitting room, Lady De Bourgh spies Lady Bertram's pug underfoot. The conversation immediately turns to pugs and the proper maintenance and breeding of the creature. Lady De Bourgh leaves Mansfield Park in a cheerful mood with a recommendation of where she can acquire a puglet of her own.

Jane Austen Mix-and-Matching Mini-Challengehosted by Nicole at Books and Bards(details here)

Nicole listed four bachelors/bachelorettes who could use a little help managing their own affairs. For each of them, she listed three eligible matches.

The task at hand is to decide who each of them should marry, and to explain why. If you’d like to go a step further, you can detail how the two might manage to hook up, and/or you can predict their future together.

Jane Austen Mix Match Couple - 3

Bachelor Number Three:
Colonel Brandon (S&S)

Eligible matches:
Georgiana Darcy (P&P)
Julia Bertram (MP)
Jane Fairfax (Em.)
My ideal couple:
Colonel Brandon & Georgiana (P&P 1995)

This sweet couple were just meant to be.

Georgiana is so sweet and innocent that she fits the bill in complimenting Colonel Brandon's older and wiser persona.

On a night with much thunder and lightening a carriage comes to a jarring halt. After an hour of rain, lots of rain, Georgiana is cold and scared inside the carriage that is stuck in the mud. Colonel Brandon on horseback comes upon the carriage in distress and offers his help. Of course, he is sopping wet from the downpour but looks as handsome and dashing as ever. Georgiana shyly pokes her head out of the carriage window and asks for assistance. She needs to get to Pemberley as soon as possible. Colonel Brandon, ever the gentleman, lifts Georgiana out of the carriage and walks over the mud and puddles with her in his arms to his horse. Together they ride to Pemberley. Thus, begins the romance.

Side note: Georgiana does provide a little more than sweetness to Colonel Brandon. As portrayed in Lost in Austen, she's got a bit of spice in her as well ;-D

Jane Austen Mix Match Couple - 2

Bachelor(ette) Number Two:
Caroline Bingley (P&P)

Eligible matches:
General Tilney (NA)
William Elliot (Pers.)
Robert Martin (Em.)
My ideal couple:
Caroline & William (Persuasion 2007)

This dastardly duo realize that there is more to life than fortune hunting.

Both are scoping out the gaming tables at an after-dinner party in Bath. They spot each other from across the room and sparks fly. It's chemistry at work, or shall we say play. Caroline flirts and William flirts back. They flirt so much they are beside themselves. They throw caution to the wind and end up in each others arms forevermore.

A year later they are married and jet-setting in Italy.
