Bridgerton adaptation would portray Kate and Anthony, a beloved and epic couple. Some of the changes were big—turning into Kate Sharma—and some were small, like altering the library scene. And some moments were omitted altogether, like the couple's wedding."There was a big wedding before," Cheryl Dunye, one of the series' directors, explained to .
"Two weddings in a show that were that spectacular, one could not do after the other." Though Dunye wasn't directly involved in the decision, she understood the writers' rationale: "I was just like, 'Yeah, you're going to make the other wedding look paltry if this wedding was bigger.'" Makes sense to us.Dunye did direct episodes that show the result of the off-screen wedding, depicting the couple in honeymoon bliss. "Their was different [from Daphne and Simon's in season one] in that they were completely equal partners. That was something that we saw that was different but passionately engaged," she said.
To demonstrate their mutual sexual equality, Dunye, the actors, and the show's worked together to find “positions where we feel both people being satisfied as partners,” hoping to give the audience the impression that they're in a happy marriage. Mission accomplished.If you're still jonesing for a Kanthony wedding, though, you can always read the book, The Viscount Who Loved Me. Though be warned, you aren't getting two weddings for the price of one.
In the novel, unlike in the series, Anthony and Edwina don't make it to the altar. And there's no Queen Charlotte, a character so great . But there is a bit of Duke Simon Basset, so, you know, might as well read and watch to get the whole picture.By By By By More from GlamourSee More Stories© 2022 Condé Nast.
