"Since you left, the white rose bush has died from grief...."

2/12/2013 The Romantic 1 Comments

Here's a little treat to get you in the mood for Valentine's Day. My professor showed it to us in my gothic literature class today and I couldn't resist passing it along. The first part isn't important, so just go ahead and skip to around 2:10.

The Anti Austens

We are The Anti-Austens, a collective of feisty, young Latter-Day Saints endowed with old-fashioned sensibilities (acquired through our Mormon upbringing and extensive reading of Jane Austen novels) trudging our way through the modern dating scene. Our blog was first created in 2010 and based in the Latter-Day Saint epicenter of marriage: Brigham Young University. Since its creation, the blog has seen many writers come and go, but those of us who remain continue vigilant in our quest for a gentleman happily blessed with our ideal qualities. For a few of us, that quest has led us away from our original hunting ground (BYU) on to hopefully greener--and considerably less overwhelmed--pastures.

Bahahaha I am dying it's so serious. Love. It.

Also, definitely watch the newer version of this (BBC 2007 I think) because the moment when they reunite at the end is ALSO wonderful, but in a different way (I always die when she pushes him back into the bushes). It's short, but the good part is around 1:00
