For many years Gilbert pined for Anne but his romantic advances were thwarted at every turn… she even turned down his first marriage proposal. Imaginative and romantic Anne dreamed of someday meeting her ideal man and Gilbert was simply not that man... at least so she thought. But age and experience often reveal that the stuff dreams are made of may never have been too far out of reach.
“I went looking for my ideals outside of myself. I discovered that it’s not what the world holds for you, it’s what you bring to it. The dreams dearest to my heart are right here.” - Anne Shirley
It took some doing, but Anne finally realized that Gilbert was her one true love and they were married in a small, but elegant ceremony on her beloved Prince Edward Island. Anne’s fantasy of being whisked away by Prince Charming had given way to her deep, enduring love for Gilbert.
“I don’t want sunbursts or marble halls... I just want you.” - Anne Shirley
