We are all thinking about love today and I compiled a list of couples who's love has entertained or inspired me.
10. Ross and Rachel - I remember screaming then promptly calling my friend Megan when Ross and Rachel kissed outside Central Perk.
9. Paul and Linda McCartney - I heard once that in their 29 years of marriage they only spent one night apart. I think that is so romantic.
8. Allie and Noah - I asked my book club for their favorite romantic book and they hands down chose The Notebook. I'm sure lots of you will agree.
7. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth - I don't know much about them in real life, but in The King's Speech they were portrayed as a loving couple, who supported each other and were always on the same team.
6. Liz and Kyle - Our wonderful friends got engaged this past year. Kyle had a custom book made that had a hole cut out inside where he placed the ring. Goes to show you can't judge a book by the cover...GET IT!
4. Pam and Jim - I often joke saying the only relationship I'm more invested in than me and Matt is Pam and Jim.
3. Elizabeth Bennit and Mr Darcy - Their love story, chronicled in Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice, melts me every time.
2. Captain Corelli and Pelagia - They are the couple in my favorite book, Corelli's Mandolin. Their relationship is riddled and blessed with war, music, Greece, Nazis and a love that lasts decades...doesn't get any better than that.
1. Matt's Grandparents - Matt's grandparents have been together 60 years. There incredible marriage has produced 8 children, 18 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren (and another on the way). They have set a wonderful example for all of them and me, showing us that hard work, kindness and a whole lot of fun are keys to a long successful relationship.
Happy Valentine's Day!
