Little is known about their first impressions of each other, but Arthur did write to his parents-in-law that he would be "a true and loving husband" and told his parents that he was immensely happy to "behold the face of his lovely bride".
Všeobecne je veľmi málo známe, aké boli ich prvé pocity na stretnutí, ale Artur napísal Kataríninim rodičom, že bude „verný a milujúci manžel“ a svojím rodičom povedal, že bol nesmierne šťastný, keď „zbadal tvár svojej milej nevesty“.
