arranged marriage thematic starters, only revamped! change pronouns/adapt as needed!

refusal and disagreements

❝ I would rather die than marry the likes of you. ❞

❝ I will run away! I won’t accept this marriage! ❞

❝ I cannot accept this. I will not marry them – my heart belongs to someone else. ❞

❝ Please – please do not make me wed them! ❞

❝ Anyone else would be better! Please, I know you can find me a better match! ❞

❝ Do not touch me! I only married you for duty, stay away from me! ❞

❝ I do not care what you want, we did not marry out of love. ❞

❝ You are mine now. Act properly. ❞

❝ Who you loved before is meaningless. We are married now, and your lover will remain in the past. ❞

❝ I will never love you! ❞

❝ It isn’t fair! I don’t even know them! ❞

❝ You will not give my only child to that monster! ❞

❝ It is a match beneath my daughter. You insult us with the mere proposition of it. ❞

❝ She is a princess. She won’t be wed to someone lesser. ❞

❝ He will marry the one we chose, not that peasant! ❞

❝ You refuse me to give yourself to a peasant?! ❞

❝ The match is already made but I cannot accept it. I love you! ❞

❝ It is you I love! I could not bear to be with them instead. ❞

meetings and beginnings

❝ You are not at all what I imagined. ❞

❝ I know you hold no love for me. How could you when we are practically strangers? And I know we may never come to love each other, but we can at least be friends. ❞

❝ Love can be built, too. And if you’re willing, I would like to try and learn to love you. ❞

❝ The descriptions I heard did not do justice to your beauty. ❞

❝ You are lovely. I am lucky you are to be wed to me. ❞

❝ I must admit I expected far worse from an arranged marriage. ❞

❝ I want to know you better if we are to be wed. Tell me about the things you like. ❞

❝ We are only marrying because I need an heir. What you do and with who beyond that does not matter to me. ❞

❝ I too am in love with someone else, but they will never allow me to marry my beloved. Why don’t we make an agreement? ❞

❝ Am I not what you expected? ❞

❝ You seem disappointed… I may not be as good-looking as you expected, but I shall never treat you unkindly. ❞

❝ This is your home too, now. You are free to go wherever you wish. ❞

❝ How odd we have been betrothed for so long but never saw each other before our wedding day. ❞

❝ I do not care about power and wealth. I want to marry for love. ❞

❝ Even though I have been told this would happen my entire life, I still can’t quite accept it. ❞

discussing the topic

❝ In just a few days I will be wed to someone I never met. ❞

❝ It is so odd to think my entire life will change so fast. A person I don’t even know, and we will be bound for life! ❞

❝ I know they plan to marry me off to someone soon, even if no one said a thing yet. ❞

❝ How could you agree to this without even asking me what I want? ❞

❝ You will do as you’re told and marry them! ❞

❝ We picked the best match available for you. ❞

❝ It is the best we managed. I am sorry you don’t like them, but there was no other way. ❞

❝ You knew this day would come. People like us only marry for duty, dear. ❞

❝ Love is not the priority for the likes of us. ❞

❝ Marrying for love is a delusion. ❞

❝ You are a princess. You will have to agree to a match eventually. ❞

❝ There are so many good proposals! How come no one is to your tastes? ❞

❝ Our bloodline must continue, and for that, you need to marry and have heirs. ❞

❝ I do not wish to leave home. My betrothed lives in such a different place… ❞

❝ I will never let them ship you off to a stranger. ❞

❝ You will not be sold for power like I was. ❞

❝ I won’t let them trade you for their alliance! ❞

❝ The arrangement was made when you were both still children. It is much too late to go back on it. ❞

❝ We have been promised to each other for years, and yet we have never met. ❞

❝ They are deciding your life for you! How can you simply accept it?! ❞

❝ There is no reason to make a fuss. I have known for years someday I would be married to some stranger my family found suitable. ❞

❝ Through them, we shall finally join our bloodlines! ❞

❝ Our children make quite the pair. I am glad they seem to get along so easily. ❞

❝ Only kings would be worthy of you. We will accept no less on your behalf. ❞

❝ A complete stranger is suddenly mine. And then, I am hers, too – I must offer her my all. ❞

❝ What do you think your betrothed will be like? ❞

love, duty, ambition and alliances

❝ Don’t pretend to care. The only reason you agreed to this is because of my title. ❞

❝ You married me for my claim, I know that! I just thought, given time, we could grow to be fond of each other. ❞

❝ I shall marry you only because I must. ❞

❝ Ours is a union of duty. You would do well to remember that. ❞

❝ Every good child knows: duty before your heart’s desire. ❞

❝ Remember what is at stake. Peace relies on our union. ❞

❝ Even if we married for duty, our union can still become one of true love. ❞

❝ A marriage is a marriage – love or arranged. Both require the same level of commitment. ❞

❝ Both our lands benefit from our match – and I know will be a good queen. ❞

❝ My people will love you in time. I think I might, too. ❞

❝ We were wed for an alliance, but this doesn’t need to be terrible. We can at least be friends. ❞

❝ Duty brought us together, but it is love that will make this bearable. ❞

❝ My father used to say the strongest loves are built by choice, not by chance. ❞

❝ Do you believe in love at first sight? I think I’m already in love with you. ❞

❝ Even if you love me, your people never will. ❞

❝ I married you for your title. I do not care for love. ❞

❝ My heart is yours, but we cannot be together. My family would never agree to a match like this. ❞

❝ Marrying them will give the realm peace. I have to agree to the match, even if you are the one I truly love. ❞

❝ It seems silly to think a single union will end decades of conflict. This is just the start. ❞

❝ They found me someone rich to marry! I will finally have everything I wanted. ❞

❝ I do not care my betrothed is not handsome – I only care that he is rich. ❞
