My response is diametrically opposite. She makes a perfect wife for the Doctor: capable, smart, charismatic, sexy and with a maturity we've rarely seen in a companion. Alex Kingston has that Helen Mirren quality of getting hotter as she gets older.
I really don't understand some fans' knee-jerk reaction against her. Smug? Bossy? You might as well be describing the Doctor himself.
As for the Doctor's response to River, wheeeell love is an odd thing. It's not always at first sight and the circumstances of their first meeting is definitely disconcerting. I'm so pleased with this addition to the canon. It's much-needed and if the Doctor is ever going to be married, I can think of no better bride than River Song.
