The Biggest Mistake of Bridgerton Season 2: No Wedding Takes Place, Leaving Everyone Disappointed
The second season of Netflix’s Bridgerton featured the slowest of slow burns for Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton. Fans waited all season as their romance developed at an almost glacial pace. However, they didn’t get the culmination of their love in the form of a wedding (at least not Kate and Anthony’s), and that’s left some viewers upset.
Bridgerton‘s new endgame couple were heavily involved in a love triangle that lasted almost the entire season. Even when the entanglement ended, Kate and Anthony still suffered from the fallout. After the opulent yet intimate wedding that occurred between Daphne and Simon in the first season, many were expecting the same for this season’s main pairing, and not giving it to them was Season 2’s biggest mistake.
Eldest son Anthony Bridgerton finally got his moment in the spotlight during Season 2. With his father dying when he was a teenager, Anthony had been carrying the title of Viscount since the young age of 18, and the season didn’t shy away from his struggles with the burden of his title. It became obvious that putting duty before anything else had such a grip on Anthony that it became ingrained as part of his personality. Even seeing Daphne and Simon’s true love match did not dissuade him from his goal of the courting season — finding his perfect Viscountess — regardless of feelings.
When the diamond of the season was named, none other than Miss Edwina Sharma, Anthony was determined to make her his bride. There was only one problem: her fierce older sister Kate. Anthony met Kate before the social season officially began, discovering her on a horseback ride through the park. They ended up having an impromptu antagonistic race through the park — which she won — and that race set the tone for the rest of their relationship.
Edwina was a lovely and complex diamond of the season, but not the perfect girl for Anthony. It became evident to Bridgerton viewers that Kate and Anthony, though always at odds with each other, had some passionate feelings for each other. Due to their misguided attempts to remain dutiful, however, they both denied their feelings and Edwina and Anthony were betrothed. Not only betrothed — they had a wedding. That’s right, the wrong couple had a wedding.
It wasn’t culminated, obviously, as Edwina finally noticed the longing stares between her betrothed and her sister… on the wedding altar no less. A whole episode was spent in the will-she-or-won’t-she limbo waiting to see whether Edwina would decide the lies didn’t matter. Thankfully for Kate and Anthony, she called the marriage off. So now the season could get down to the real business of Anthony and Kate, right? Sort of.
Season 2, instead of letting Kate and Anthony’s love story finally progress, spent many episodes with dramatic miscommunications and more denying themselves to save face for the town and Kate’s spurned sister. Kate and Anthony finally got together with about ten minutes to spare before the end of Season 2, which then skipped straight to blissful scenes of an obviously married Kate and Anthony in the family manor of Aubrey Hall.
Though a slow burn love story is deliciously enjoyable, Bridgerton fans have a right to be upset with Season 2. Daphne and Simon’s love story relied on the fact that they were married halfway through the season. Kate and Anthony were a different couple, but fans still clamored for a wedding, and though they got visuals of one through Edwina and Anthony’s not-wedding — with Anthony having a vision of Kate in the white dress — it wasn’t the same. After their coupling was drawn out for eight episodes, and even longer than expected after Edwina learned of their true feelings, viewers wanted a marriage ceremony for the lovebirds to tie the knot with a pretty — and final — ending.
There were some steamy scenes and poetic proclamations of love between season 2’s main couple, but in a season where the couple clearly surpassed their predecessors, it would have been better to have a charming ceremony for Kate and Anthony. Though seemingly a small thing to overlook, its absence saddened Bridgerton’s audience after a mostly successful season.
