[It was easier for Margaery. All that she knew about Robb was what Sansa had told her, but in her longings for home, Sansa had revealed a great deal. Margaery knew that he was a skilled rider, fighter and hunter. She knew that he was honorable and loved his family deeply, as well as inspired loyalty in his followers. It didn't take much to gather that he would be a good father too.
If she had known Ned Stark, she might have seen how closely he was trying to resemble his father. For now, he existed as a unique specimen, unlike any other man she had met before. That he was handsome had been a benefit. Renly had been handsome as well, but Robb...it was hard to pinpoint why, but he exceeded the young Stag King.
She turned to regard him, smiling quietly as she appraised her new husband, finding nothing but pleasing features staring back at her. This was to be the man she spent her life with and it wasn't altogether terrible. It could even be enjoyable...once they passed this first night.]
No. You don't need to be made bearable.
[She felt shy admitting it, as though he might shut the conversation down quickly, pushing away her attempts at affection.]
I didn't imagine that I would marry a King, but I think this is the happiest I have been at a wedding before.
[For all of the splendor of her marriages to Renly and Joffery, there was no indication that she might ever receive affection. Renly preferred men and Joffery was to vicious. Robb...this could be different.]
