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 🥊❤️

Admiral and Mrs Croft in Persuasion - both in the book and in the 1995 adaptation. Absolute couple goals.

Absolutely! Have loved Ciaran Hinds' performances ever since that adaptation.... swoon.
