Uhhhhhh why is everyone being hard on ripley? She’s just trying to become an independent women. I mean I get it that she’s taking too long for the wedding preparation but at the same time this is the author adding character development. In the recent chapter the Duke ask “Don’t worry the minute you marry me all my assets go to you.” Would you really want for the rest of your life share things with the duke and not earn things yourself? I guess its different for everybody but I would feel guilty. Cause you have the ability to do some amazing things especially with Ripley social status,but your just going to go ahead and mooch of the duke? Also, wedding preparations take months to plan, and yet they are doing this in a span of four days? Of course ripley is going to take forever. Also, I feel a little offended for ripley because she literally said “ I want to properly take care of the wedding preparations instead of rushing it” and you guys go ahead and accuse she doesn’t want to get married... like a perfect wedding doesn’t take four days to plan, it takes months. But, anyway this is me ranting and pointing out my opinion. I don’t mean to offend anyone, as this is my opinion. If I do offend you, then I’m sorry.

This is all true. People are being too tough on her but at the same time, it's because she always wants to be "independent". It's a good thing to have your own choices and want to achieve things by yourself but it isnt really the time for that right now because she agreed to have the wedding and is supposed to be preparing for it. Now she's half assing it. She can totally discuss it with the duke. They're supposed to talk about these kinda things because they're spending their life together. It would be quite hurtful if your partner is getting her priorities mixed up and spontaneous doing business with her best friend exactly when you guys decided to get married especially since she already betrayed his trust.
