"No, I'm with Elsa on this one, you can't marry a man you just met. Relationships need time to blossom."

To be fair, even if Aurora never got a sneak peek of him on her birthday, she would have inevitably married him anyways, since their marriage was arranged since birth. Ironically, had Phillip and Aurora never actually met at that point, had Aurora just gone back to the castle without actually meeting him at the time she did, the chances of Aurora actually marrying Phillip, heck, even awaking soon would have severely diminished (especially when it was entirely Flora and Merriweather's fault that Maleficent successfully placed the curse on Aurora. Had they just done rock-paper-scissors and decided firmly what the color of the dress would be without getting into a spellwar over the dress, Diablo would never have tracked down the location of Aurora's house from the spells reflecting up the chimney and giving away their position). Who knows, had Aurora and Phillip never actually met, and Maleficent successfully cursed her, it probably would have taken 100 years for her to even awaken from her coma like in the fairy tale.

@Somebody bends: Maleficent actually referenced the original curse being a century plotpoint while taunting Phillip.
