Why So Much Baggage?

    Not long after my engagement to my beloved, a woman by the name of Gwendolyn appeared at my family manor. She seemed like a swell young woman until she she claimed to be engaged to my Earnest. I told her she was confused because I was to be wed to Earnest. She assumed I was mistaken. How dare she? I cannot believe the audacity of some people! Not too long after, we learned that Gwendolyn was engaged to my Uncle Jack who pretended to be Earnest Worthing while I was engaged to a man of the name Algernon Moncrieff. Gwendolyn and myself found ourselves to be quite upset by these men lying to us. I felt betrayed and disgusted. But my love for this man they call "Algy" did not change. I took comfort in Gwendolyn rather than one of my companions because she knew the pain and horror I was suffering. You may think we ran into their arms days later, but we did not. We stood our ground. They tried apologizing and we did not budge. Gwendolyn's mother payed a visit and that is when the truth came out. We discovered that Algy and Uncle Jack were brothers and their fathers' name was Earnest. It was so perfect, so meant to be. Also we discovered who Uncle Jack's real mother was. His mother was Mrs. Moncrieff, the sister of Lady Bracknell. After such a roller coaster, I know better days are ahead as I marry the love of my life. Though his name was not always Earnest, I am sure he will be as earnest as they come.
