Romance Movies & Series

I know many of you asked me to recap Part 2, but I'm literally foaming at the mouth over a 2 minute trailer in the meantime, so let's promenade through it together! Shall we?

• Wide shot of the ton? Already sending a shiver down my spine. I'm unwell and nothing has happened yet.

• PENELOPE IS WHISTLEDOWNING IN A CARRIAGE! If you read the books, you know that Colin may or may not be following her. BOOK STYLE REVEAL FEELS IMMINENT.

• Queen Hyacinth is jaw on the floor over the latest love match. We love to see it. Hugs all around!!!!

• Eloise, I love you but at least pretend to be happy, baby girl.

• Okay, Lord Anderson, gossip king that you are. I know you're trying to get an invite to the upcoming Bridgerton nuptials 👀

• Mr. Finch is GIDDY AS HECK at the announcement. The girls spitting out their tea and Portia having a minor stroke? GOOD! PENELOPE JUST WON REGENCY ERA'S VERSION OF THE BACHELOR.

• Polin in a church!! BOOK POLIN STANS, UNITE.

• "I have always loved you." CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR COLIN TO HEAR THAT? You're gonna have to chain me to a water heater when they show us this full scene. I'm going to run through a wall if you don't.

• THE TWIRL! HE LOOKS SO HAPPY! I LOVE HAPPY PUPPY COLIN. I will protect this man with my whole life. Put me between him and Eloise. Use me as a human shield if you must.

• "He will find out" Okay, El, girl, you got me there...

• Kate and Anthony are back from their heir-making-bootcamp and they are GLOWING.

• "You must admit it's all rather sudden" Anthony maybe if you came up for air from under the sheets for more than two seconds you would noticed your brother is a Penelope addict. 100% Benedict is gonna be like "I knew the whole time"

• RING REVEAL. HAND KISS. GRAVE! (mine)

• The quick shots of the mirror scene over Colin smugly defending his decision. HOT! Man knows what he wants!! And he's going to look it straight in the eye via mirror.

• Anthony acting so scandalized by the "swiftly" comment like he didn't absolutely crawl through the Bridgerton garden on his hands and knees to compromise Kate Sharma.

• "Are you going to duel with your own brother?" Benedict will absolutely drag anyone in his family, just name a time and a place. He's locked and loaded.

• "Here is to truly knowing each other. Completely." Women were not allowed to receive higher education but Eloise Bridgerton still somehow managed to get a PHD in being a messy girl.

• COLIN LOOKS SUSPICIOUS. NOOOOOOOOOOO.

• What is all this ink?! UMMMMM, she's just writing "Penelope Bridgerton" over and over and over again in a journal... stop asking questions and just keep smooching!!!

• Luke Newton, you will always be famous. The second she says she's been writing letters that man really said, "Okay you're being soooo fake with me rn" with his face ALONE. NO DIALOGUE, ONLY LINES HE NEEDS ARE THE ONES BETWEEN HIS EYEBROWS.

• This scene of Eloise screaming at Penelope is NOT on the same day or time as the other scene where she's yelling right after the announcement or at the engagement party!!! How many times will she yell at Penelope before Penelope tells him? I would have been like dang call him in here rn I can't do this anymore, you're stressing me OUT.

• "Whistledown is power." Honestly babe, let it go. Aren't you tired? This is like Will Mondrich refusing to give up his bar. Just go be rich and make out with your hot husband forever in peace.

• ARE ELOISE AND PENELOPE HOLDING HANDS IN THIS SCENE? ARE THEY GOING TO SCHEME TOGETHER? (probably not but let me be delusional)

• MORE TWIRLING! FOREVER DANCE PARTNERS. I am Regina George's mom with a camcorder over my shoulder to record a 2 minute 18 second trailer of my babies falling even more in love.

• THE CLOCK STRIKING MIDNIGHT!!! Eloise giving Penelope a dirty look!! Go drink some lemonade with your BFF Cressida, this is a party, ELOISE! (I sound like such an Eloise hater but I promise I'm not she is just giving me IBS the way she's looming over this entire engagement with a loaded gun)

• "COLIN I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF." (girl why would you want to, we know that man loooooves to take care of you!! let him LIVE!)

• "THEN WHAT GOOD AM I TO YOU" protective colin bridgerton??????? put it in a syringe and stab me in the heart rn I want it in my VEINS (also new theory unlocked that he has been suspicious of her this entire time and even before she tells him she's LW he starts following her to make sure she's safe... he's such a Penelope stan it's crazy)

• Lady Tilley if you hurt Benedict, we as a subreddit, will collectively have to fight you I am so sorry... I don't make the rules. Also who is that MAN! He's giving vampire.

• Violet doesn't have time to deal with Colin's wife's secret, she is doing gardening ONLY rn.

• "LADIES DO NOT HAVE DREAMS, THEY HAVE HUSBANDS!" DOES PORTIA KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! (in my comment on the original trailer post in this sub, milliebear1030 pointed out that it looks like Portia is holding LW as she says this!!!!!!!!!!!!)

• WHEN HE KISSES HER SHE IS WEARING THE CLOAK AND THE SAME HAIR CLIP FROM WHEN HE SAYS "THEN WHAT GOOD AM I TO YOU??" WE ARE GETTING MAKE UP MAKE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (this is going to be the hottest kiss of the season I just know it)

• Not the shirtless insert, no face, just abs. shondaland really said "we know you're all dying of thirst. come and get your lemonade"

• Benedict's love story is realllllllly on display in this trailer, if they aren't preparing us for him to be S4, we are getting played harder than Colin with the LW reveal.

• The way Kate and Anthony are making out... they are trying to do Next Day Heir Delivery.

• All the butterflies flying everywhere, is it just me or is this whole trailer giving Hogwarts? I love it!!!!

• Lots of Cressida but not an ounce of Debling in sight. Spinster era loading big time!!!

• If I have to see Colin upset for more than .002 seconds, I'm going to need a mental health professional on site as I watch.

I think I am going to be sick. Please sound off in the comments below about what I missed and how you are all coping over the next ten days.

Also no wedding and no masquerade ball in trailer... hmmmmm. I hope they're just saving them for later.

swiftly indeed Mr. Fingerton

Colin is like- yep, compromised Penelope Featherington and I am proud of it.

It's nice to see Anthony be so cool about it( Kate effect!!) Though he probably should be worried about getting a special license. After all Colin is a Hungry Boi🤣

also loved Benedict teasing Anthony about the duel.🤣

Not to spoil too much, but this last line in the new trailer is pulled right from the book and I am here for it and so relieved this plot will be staying from the books.

It makes the edits of the earlier trailer a bit less stressful for me. I don't know how to avoid spoilers in the discussion, so if you haven't read the book or don't want spoilers avoid the comments.

But if you did read the book, thoughts on how it will all go down? Any one else relieved?
