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 🥊❤️

Yes! They have amazing chemistry in every movie they have starred in together. My favourites are The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates. ❤️❤️

50 First Dates is my favourite!

Doug and Carol in ER
Agree with Roy and Hayley
Tim and Dawn were my immediate thought. I also think the man who plays her boyfriend is fantastic and as a love triangle it is so well done.

Diane Keaton and any other actor. I LOVE Diane Keaton. I especially loved The Family Stone as it caught perfectly when your DH adores you and your adult child comes home with someone that you know isn't right for them but you have to pretend they are and you're also going through your own shit and SOMETIMES it's hard not to just be honest.

Only found out after Dolly Parton died that she wrote the song, ‘Love is like a butterfly’.

That was the theme tune for Butterflies, also with Geoffrey Palmer and Wendy Craig. Their characters were not a good couple but Geoffrey and Judi were!

Morcombe and Wise (With Eric being the true comedy genius)

Leah and Vinnie in Home and Away, the fact that she's married several others since but keeps Vinnie's name each time is a lovely touch to the past.

Mike and Frankie Heck (The Middle)
If you haven't seen these two and their one liners, I highly recommend it, I laugh out loud at every episode.

Sue Sue Sue and Anne Droid, loved them and the show!

We are OBSESSED with The Middle in our house! They’ve basically documented our family.

Frasier and Niles

Yes to Frasier and Niles! Same with Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hoffstadter.

I also like Claire and Jamie from Outlander. Although, they are a bit common and dull in the last couple of seasons.
