Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since Bridgerton season 3 has wrapped, there have been some complaints that the pace of Penelope and Colin's romance was too fast, but I think they're all forgetting one crucial thing. The Bridgerton son and Featherington daughter surprised everyone when they announced their engagement at the ending of Bridgerton season 3, part 1.
Colin's speech reminded me again of just how long they've known each other; they're literally the boy and girl next door. Having been friends for so long, Colin and Penelope accept each other. Colin, in particular, makes a point to tell Penelope how comfortable he feels with her and how she's the only one who really sees him. Penelope is not quite as settled around Colin thanks to her long one-sided feelings for him, but she's still free to be open with him in a way she can't be with anyone else except, perhaps, for Eloise.
