Little is known about their first impressions of each other, but Arthur did write to his parents-in-law that he would be "a true and loving husband" and told his parents that he was immensely happy to "behold the face of his lovely bride".
Meget lidt vides om deres første møde og deres første indtryk af hinanden, men Arthur skrev til sine svigerforældre, at han ville være en ”trofast og kærlig ægtemand”, og han fortalte sine forældre, at han var ovenud lykkelig for at se sin smukke brud.
