Emilia immediately decided on the choice of a husband – she accepted the offer of marriage from Vladimir Alekseevich Musin-Пушкина. This decision surprised many: he was rich, not too handsome, he participated in the conspiracy of the Decembrists and was under the political supervision. Such a party could not in light call brilliant, but Emily fell in love with" Martyr of truth", how she imagined her lover. Family Musina-Пушкина also was not happy with the choice. Mother even had him transferred to the service in a remote fortress to thwart the marriage of Vladimir to" rootless Swede".

the owner of salon Alexander Smirnov-Россет wrote about Emilia:" In St. Petersburg made a splash with her blond hair, her blue eyes and black eyebrows". Senator Alexander wrote a letter to his brother admiringly said:" Well, brother, what a beauty of Pushkin"s wife Volodina! I don"t like blonde, but yesterday she was admiring; besides, she was beautiful, with blue feathers on the head, and the colours suit her very much. Tell Vyazemsky that she was decidedly better of his sister". Many poets Emilia Musina-Пушкина became a Muse. Pyotr Vyazemsky lost her mind and wrote that she is" pale, silent, not something resembling a bouquet of white lilies, not the lunar beam of rays reflected in the mirror clear waters of...". In Emilia was in love, and Mikhail Lermontov, who wrote in her honor a comic Madrigal:

Emilia Contessa –
Whiter than the lilies,
Thinner her waist
In the world will meet.
And the sky of Italy
her eyes glowing.
But the heart of Emilia
Like Bastille.
