You can choose three and three only.

One - Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in Father Of The Bride. That's my marriage goal. Warm, loving and stable

Two - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. They were just so cute together

Three - Rocky and Adrian 🥊❤️

The Fockers. Not Pam and Gaylord 😅but Gaylord's parents. Even though Dustin (forgotten the character's name) did go off the rails for a bit. They were just such a 'cosy' couple if that makes sense. [Edited to add: still thinking about the other two, I'll be back 😆]

Have to say I always found You've Got Mail a stretch plausibility-wise. Woman falls for man and still loves him even when she finds out he's the one who bankrupted her? Hmmm... 😄 Somehow I still love the film though and they somehow managed to make it romantic despite the credibility stretch.

Dustin? Do you mean Robert lol?

I thought Pamela was a rubbish partner. Poor old Gaylord got stuck in so many embarrassing situations and she never helped him.

I think after all these years, and all his escapades, Hommer and Marge Simpson must be doing something right.

Yes to Monica and Chandler too.

MademoisellePraline · 09/09/2026 20:56

I loved Martin Freeman and Amanda what's-her-name when they played Dr and Mrs Watson, whilst being married in real life. The little looks and nuances between them were so lovely to watch. Genuinely gutted when they split because of their natural beauty on screen together.
