Charles Darwin tied the knot after intense hesitation

Charles Darwin was in a state of hesitation of a very high degree about whether or not to marry, so much so that he prepared a list of pros and cons about having a wife. He studied the list quite analytically and procrastinated for about a year and finally tied the knot with his cousin Emma Wedgwood on 29 January 1839.
