It seemed to Fire it was rarely enough one knew a person one wished to marry. How unjust then to meet that person, and be kept from it because one's bed was made of hay and not feathers.

About This Quote

When the marriage was finally made, the bride's bed was made of hay and not feathers. Here, the bride is shown to be a person of great wealth, who takes joy in the finer things of life. This indicates that she is not easily impressed or carried away by society's standards. However, it is also an indicator that her motivations are quite serious.

She is seeking someone to better her life, not just for herself but for her family as well. The same can be said about the groom. His bed comes from the simplest of things, but he has found his true love and is willing to put up with all sorts of hardships for her sake.
