I don't know of a novel that begins with it, but that isn't that the beginning of one of the chapters in "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte.

It's Jane Eyre, but the novel doesn't start that way - as others have said, it's at the end (they say Chapter 38, and I'm not going to argue! LOL)

Begins? Well it can't be Jane Eyre, then:
"Opening of Chapter 38 in "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte
Reader, I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the parson and clerk, were alone present.
Maybe this one?

Chapter 38, "Jane Eyre", by Charlotte Bronte.
Reader, I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the parson and clerk, were alone present. When we got back from church, I went into the kitchen of the manor-house, where Mary was cooking the dinner and John cleaning the knives, and I said -
"Mary, I have been married to Mr. Rochester this morning." The housekeeper and her husband were both of that decent phlegmatic order of people, to whom one may at any time safely communicate a remarkable piece of news without incurring the danger of having one's ears pierced by some shrill ejaculation, and subsequently stunned by a torrent of wordy wonderment. Mary did look up, and she did stare at me: the ladle with which she was basting a pair of chickens roasting at the fire, did for some three minutes hang suspended in air; and for the same space of time John's knives also had rest from the polishing process: but Mary, bending again over the roast, said only -
"Have you, Miss? Well, for sure!"

It's a quote from 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte and it comes near the end.

Jane Eyre doesn't begin that way but one of the chapters does. See the full opening text of the chapter here.
