Your Marianne makes it impossible not to smile right along with her. I love the sense of possibility and potential here, the idea that thinking about spending a lifetime with her husband and learning more about him gives her delight and longing.

And the title is brilliant, because Marianne is absolutely a proper wife for Brandon, but probably not in the way that most of her era would have meant by that phrase.

Of course, I'm also pleased that they have the good sense to be dancing to a Scotch air. ;)
