Plumbing. . . is that the running water you speak of? [she shakes her head no] Marriages are for alliances. It's difficult when it comes to the High Houses, like Stark, Baratheon, Lannister, Martell, Tully, and Tyrell. There are only so many marriages that can be made before one is forced to marry down into a region's bannermen. Father is determined that I make a high marriage. Love, if it happens, comes after marriage, not before. But if your world allows it, I hope you're allowed to marry for love.

A lady must be as appealing as possible to attract an appropriate husband. Beauty, grace, charm, and the ability to run a household are all important. [Westeros has been technologically stagnant for hundreds of years] Seriously.
