Supposedly Henry saw a picture of Anne painted a year before he met her, and the picture was beautiful. Henry saw her as his ideal woman. When he met her he was repulsed by her face, which was pockmarked. It's unclear if the picture was a distortion or if she fell sick on the rough voyage over (possible.) Anne was actually liked by pretty much everyone besides the king, though, so it was a disappointment when Henry divorced her. She never lost hope that Henry would take her back, though.
That was so awkwardly cute in a way, despite the circumstances. They kinda remind me a little like two awkward virgins fumbling around for their first time, lol.
I feel so bad for Anne of Cleeves! That scene was so awkward, and I don't think she's ugly at all! Maybe Henry just thought she was a little top heavy?
@hogwartsluv - well, the actress indeed is very pretty. Actually, all the actors and actresses in this show are too beautiful - Jane Seymour, Cromwell, Brandon - they were all much uglier. As for Anne of Cleves, it was more that Henry's pride was hurt when he disguised himself and she didn't recognize him - although they never did that scene here - also, Anne's big bosom and bulky German dresses put him off. It was a combination of things...
he had no right to execute all his wives if you were going to kill all of them you should have not have married them

I don't know how "ugly" Anne of Cleves was, but Joss Stone is a hottie for sure.
