3) Besides the fundamental principle already hinted at, I demanded the fresh bloom of youth, pearly teeth, glossy ringlets, and the whole list of lovely items, with the utmost delicacy of habits and sentiments, a silken texture of mind, and, above all, a virgin heart. In a word, if a young angel just from paradise, yet dressed in earthly fashion, had come and offered me her hand, it is by no means certain that I should have taken it. There was every chance of my becoming a most miserable old bachelor, when, by the best luck in the world, I made a journey into another state, and was smitten by, and smote again, and wooed, won, and married, the present Mrs. Bullfrog, all in the space of a fortnight. Owing to these extempore measures, I not only gave my bride credit for certain perfections which have not as yet come to light, but also overlooked a few trifling defects, which, however, glimmered on my perception long before the close of the honeymoon. Yet, as there was no mistake about the fundamental principle aforesaid, I soon learned, as will be seen, to estimate Mrs. Bullfrog's deficiencies and superfluities at exactly their proper value.

What sentence BEST expresses the main idea of paragraph 3?

A) Mr. Bullfrog finally finds a woman to marry who is perfect.
B) Mr. Bullfrog considers it extreme luck that he married Mrs. Bullfrog.
C) Mr. Bullfrog would rather be a bachelor the rest of his life than to marry a young, flawed woman.
D) Mr. Bullfrog wants so badly a perfect bride that even an angel herself may not be good enough for him.
