I am marrying. Today. And I'm not happy about it.
My name is Maria Lewis, I am a fifteen year old girl, and today is the day I'm marrying James Reynolds. Soon my name will be Maria Reynolds. It just sounds... weird. I don't wanna marry this man. I wanna explore the world. I wanna feel love. But I definitely don't feel it with him.
But I don't have a choice. It's an arrangent marriage, so I can't refuse. My family and I need this money. I mean, it's not like our family is the highest educated family. I can't even spell my last name. I don't know how to write or read. I wish I could.
I look at my wedding dress. It is probably the most beautiful thing that I've ever worn. In a few minutes the door right in front of me will open and I will marry James.
I only met him two times. The only thing I saw is that he is probably a very arrogant man. He only talked about how brave he was in the war, and that he tried frequently to claim damages and get reimbursed for them by the government.
In a few minutes it's going to happen. I am going to be trapped in a loveless marriage, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Hi guys! So, I really wanted to write this story, but I didn't know how to begin. But now I decided that I'm just gonna write and see what happens. I found out about Maria Reynolds because of the musical Hamilton, but this is not an fanfiction. Enjoy!
