he was perfect in the role! hated his hair tho lol

[_amateur]

The hair was my mom's biggest complaint in an otherwise nearly perfect movie. Everyone's hair, not just his!

Bingley's hair is awful.

wait wait wait

his name is MC FAD YEN?
not MC FAY DEN?

I still pronounce it as Fayden

It sounds better

[fromyourashes]

i'm taking this as permission bc idk if i'll ever be able to pronounce it properly after all these years of saying 'mcfayden'

[nutella_forever]

please, do, at the end of the day it's fairly unlikely that either of us is ever going to get the chance to call him wrong in person and get him mad

I loved him BECAUSE he wasn’t what would be expected. I was kind of turned off by him going into it and then loved him at the end which is just so perfect for the movie.

This is how I felt about Bride and Prejudice. I didn't care for Darcy at first but by the end I wanted to marry him myself.

All I could think during Bride and Prejudice was that he was the guy from The Ring.

I love Bride and Prejudice. Such an underrated romcom.
