we got MARRIED in a library - a bookish life update & recent reads

[@danielmccann4055]

Leon, I am an Old Man now. I have seen a lot. a piece of advice: You are a very lucky young Man. Take care of what you have been given. I have observed your wife and she is a keeper. For the rest of your life, I doubt you will encounter anything more valuable to you.

[@flaviadn]

Oh, to marry someone who shares your same love and passion for literature... what a dream. Congratulations Carolyn and Leon. 🦋

[@Tania.atlasinajar]

Congratulations Carolyn and Leon! I can't think of a more enchanting setting for such a special day than a library, surrounded by the stories and wisdom of counteless authors! Your love for books has always been a beautiful part of who you are, and it's truly poetic that you chose to begin this new chapter of your life amidst the pages that have inspired you! And yes Monte Cristo is such a page turner. So happy for you two! ❣️

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Truly can’t thank you enough for these kind words 🥰

[@this.is.elvira]

What a wholesome video, Carolyn! A true fairytale! Congrats to you both 🥹❤

[@ARS1508]

I cannot believe I can feel this happy for strangers on the Internet but then here I am. My bestest wishes to you guys!! ❤❤❤

[@EmmaSophieChannel]

Side note! I'm German and you do pronounce the e at the end of Hesse! Hard to describe but i'm sure there's a good quick video somewhere :) But that is such a beautiful book, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it :))

[@pixieh.5597]

e as in french é - not as in ee😊

[@EmmaSophieChannel]

@@pixieh.5597 è is closer than é but neither one exactly!

[@pixieh.5597]

@@EmmaSophieChannel è would be ä and that's not closer 😄

[@EmmaSophieChannel]

@@pixieh.5597 é is closest to a German e that is stressed though which this one definitely isn't, would not sound right if someone said Hessée, I think ä is closer to the unstressed e at the end of the name here than é (in the French words that come to mind for me at least)

[@mk2939]

In the IPA(international phonetic alphabet) the sign is an eschwa (upside down e)

[@Emiliemooles]

I already saw on Instagram about your marriage but I still squealed. It makes me really happy for you both. The joy you both exude is so wonderful to see. Also those Lord of the Rings books are beautiful! 😍 I love the range of books that you both chatted about. 📚💙

Congratulations on this beautiful new chapter in your life. I’ve been with my husband for nearly 16 years and I felt like the way marriage is portrayed in Middlemarch was so depressing. While I could understand from where it was coming and what it wanted to bring, there was as little enjoyment in my reading it as there was for Dorothea with her older fellow 😅 I’m glad it didn’t deter you and Leon from taking the journey together

[@evamatlach1986]

I don't know how to explain the way you two make me feel. I just look at you both and I feel my eyes get misty, while I smile. I would like to wrap you in a warm blanket and a happy bubble forever. 😊 So the best thing I can do is pray to God for your marriage, so He grant you many, many years of happiness, smiles, beautiful memories, and many happy moments sharing your mutual passion for literature, nature, etc. And that He guide you in the not so happy days, inevitable in life, that you lean on each other, and always have love, compassion and kindness for each other. Many, many blessings for you both!
