We know that Bella has always been terrified of aging and going through life appearing older, than the man she loves. She already feels self conscious about how beautiful Edward looks, and how much less attractive she thinks she is, even though to Edward she is "dazzlingly beautiful."

So if Bella accepted Edward's offer and lived out a normal length life with him all wrinkled, partly crippled, and nearly deaf [ just had a visual of the scenario😆], do you think Edward would still have loved her just as much as he did at their junior prom?

If you were in Bella's shoes would you have tolerated a never aging husband while you the crippled one? Think hard, 50 yr with a 17 yr 😲😆

What would you pick a) Beauty b) Love? Please provide reasons

Edward and Bella are having a funny moment here thinking about the answers😆 Make sure you do post your reply and not just rofl😉


Will be looking forward to your views.

Hmm i think that beauty does matter sometimes..like when ur husband never ages n u age its awkward to be around him n stuff..!..so Bella needed to look gud..!..n she also had to be immortal...!

If i was in her place i would choose beauty ..!..n i think Bella did the ryt tyn..!

LOL. I don't know if i'm answering the question correctly but if Bella was 50 years old and Edward 17, it would look very peverted since they can't act like lovers with such a gap..so it made sense for them to both be equal as vampires..or aparting their ways.

I feel that the only reason belle truely loves his for what he is comes from the first meeting when she saw the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. Somewhere she is more intact with his beauty, since we read quite a lot about her physical attraction towards edward, wheras with a charecter like Jacob, she intends to desrcibe the personaliy.
I sometimes find her a cofused soul ..lol..
Thanks Anu, for an awesome discussion..do post more! ;)

do you think Edward would still have loved her just as much as he did at their junior prom?
Yes..for edward...Bella's scent was more IMP than her beauty..and scent doesn't finishes that easily:P(i know my answer makes no sense here)

That doesn't matter if you get a dazzling husband like Edward...Anyway he would have carried me at the age of 50..how romantic!:P

What would you pick a) Beauty b) Love? Please provide reasons

LOVE...love is more imp than beauty...love is what gets two people together...if there is just beauty and no love..then that beauty has no meaning..(Do i make sense?)

yes, edward would have still loved her if she was fifty. as he told her in new moon, dat she'll be the most beautiful thing ever for him.

no, i wouldn't have tolerated a 17 yr old husband. it's just out of place lol\

i don't think it's more about beauty or love, it's more about compatibility. she didn't choose one or the other, dey had to be equal. as said u don't want a husband whose 30 years younger dan u

Edward would definetely have still loved her....
I would never have tolerated a 17yr old husban while I was 50!!!!!😲
Even though I think love is more important I still think 2 people have to be equals in love...

Hmmm i think that beauty is the best option in this case... because if i turn 50 an my boyfriend or hubby is still 17 then i would really feel bad standing or even being around him.

When we're the same age then ofcourse love...

but if not the same age then i might feel bad and hurt of the matter that my husband or boyfriend doesn't age

Im sure edward would love her no matter what ! Edward loves Bella unconditionally .. so no i dont think he would love her anyless . 😳 Although yes, he would probably feel bad for her, seeing her in that state, knowing that she's getting closer to her deathbed.
So they both would be pretty miserable, i guess. =l

No way, i wouldnt. I can understand her fears, who would want to look like the grandma of their lover ? 😲 I would feel unworthy of edward if i were bella, regardless of whether edward still loved me or not. So im glad bella actually turns into a vampire :)

What would you pick a) Beauty b) Love? Please provide reasons

I would pick Love. I dont think beauty is everything, as it is beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, and it eventually wears away. Looks are important, i wont deny that, but love is something far more sacred. I cant say what love is like in real life .. because im not in love and i believe it doesnt exist .. but for Edward & Bella it is far more than looks, they are attracted to each other in other ways other than the physical looks and smell. They are soulmates, the love between them is infinite. Bella is willing to give up her mortality to be with Edward forever, while edward always wants to protect her and can pretty much do anything and everything for Bella. Its hard to imagine two people being so selfless, and so hopelessly in love with each other, So its a little difficult to explain in words.
