What generally happened in those days was that homosexual people tried to enter merriages of convinience (so merriages without love or physical contact), prefferably to other homosexual people of the opposite sex and kept their lovers, officially calling them "close friends" or "companions". This is, I think what would happen here, and Mr. Chambers has already suggested as much at the end of Book 1. So you'd marry Mr. Chambers, employ Mr.Konevi for him and have Anabelle as your "companion". Living with you, spending the whole day with you, being your true spouse in all but name. Maybe even with a private, secret ceremony.

That would be the most historically accurate and pretty cute as well, if I may say so.
