Bridgerton: Why Kate & Anthony's Wedding Happens Offscreen
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Bridgerton season 2.
Kate and Anthony’s roller-coaster romance ends with the pair happily married, but Bridgerton season 2 chooses to keep their wedding off-screen. Unlike Simon and Daphne, who were married before either believed the other truly loved them or wanted the marriage, Kate and Anthony are married once they’ve already declared their love for one another. As such, it may have been expected that Bridgerton depicting Anthony and Kate’s wedding would make more sense as the ultimate payoff to their love story, as viewers had yet to see a happy Bridgerton wedding day.
For slow-burn TV romances, weddings are typically the highlight of their love stories, as it means all of the strife that went into the will-they-won’t-they dynamic has finally paid off. However, this hasn’t been the case for the two weddings that have so far been depicted in Bridgerton. Simon and Daphne’s wedding saw hardly any happy faces as Daphne felt she forced Simon into the marriage, with Simon likewise believing she’d resent him for marrying her while knowing he would never give her children. While the pair’s marriage ultimately became a happy pairing in the Bridgerton season 1 ending, the next season only featured one onscreen wedding: Anthony and Edwina's, Kate’s younger sister. They never made it to the “I do” part of the nuptials, but it still continued Bridgerton’s trend of refusing to give viewers a love-filled wedding.
