Summary
The Gardiners make the match.
It is not love at first sight, or second, or third.
It is love that comes later - in the accumulation of shared steps and conversations in the dark. In a stranger becoming, without your noticing, the first person you want to tell things to.
In having the deeply inconvenient realisation, somewhere in your marriage, that you have a crush on your spouse.
OR: Mary and Tom have a regency era marriage of convenience

Summary
"For an educated woman, raised to be genteel, as we have been, the future holds no other prospect than marriage. Marriage or Misery" Mary could not help but recall Charlotte's warning as she saw the last of her sisters leave home with her husband. The future now bleak with no prospects and trapped in the miserable marriage of her parents, Mary knew she needed a husband, one who may not love her but might be agreeable enough to let her escape her family and allowed her to live in peace.
