Jane Austen's house
The wedding was very much like other weddings, where the parties have no taste for finery or parade; and Mrs. Elton, from the particulars detailed by her husband, thought it all extremely shabby, and very inferior to her own.—"Very little white satin, very few lace veils; a most pitiful business!—Selina would stare when she heard of it."—But, in spite of these deficiencies, the wishes, the hopes, the confidence, the predictions of the small band of true friends who witnessed the ceremony, were fully answered in the perfect happiness of the union. ( Emma, by Jane Austen)

I would be curious what your opinion of 'Becoming Jane' is. I haven't seen it as of yet.
I love Rebecca. I read it first as a younger child (under 12) and then later in my 20s and I appreciate it so much more now.
Mrs Elton---pffft! It goes without saying that I love this :)
