Valentiney Stuff

I'm happily single, but happily appreciative of Valentiney, Romancey Stuff. I, therefore, like many other lovely single ladies, celebrate this month of Romance in my own way... on my own. (No, I didn't suppress a sob while declaring my current state of I-have-no-bae-ness. I have tons of lovely friends and I just read To Kill a Mockingbird and I'm listening to Carrie Underwood so yeah, why would I complain? Really. Keep it together.) (Also, chocolate. There's more when you're single because you don't have to share.) (I realise it's not V-day yet, but I'm an early bug when it comes to cute couples.)

Here are some Valentiney Stuff that give me LOADS AND LOADS OF FEELSIES. Enjoy.

Because Downton Abbey couples always deserve a mention in posts about Romance. Tom + Sybil's epic romance always makes my heart melt and ugh lets not even talk about the disgusting adorableness of Matthew and Mary. (I can't NOT talk about these without italics. They are the epitome of cute.)

This random wedding video made me cry buckets and I don't even know these people. How. I love them and I love how they really, really, really want their marriage to be all about Jesus. Also, they're crazy cute together so that helps.

A buncha random cute pictures I found online. Because it's adorable.

OKAY SO THIS VIDEO. I know, the dude's hair is terrible (okay, fine, it's not my style) but this couple is honestly so so adorable and I now want to have a surprise wedding too. Their passion to have Jesus-centred lives is just heart-warming and I love it when they just cry and laugh and look at each other and then cry and laugh some more. (Yes, I get attached to random people in youtube videos. Welcome to my life.)




Excuse me while I die. TOM AND BARBARA TOM AND BARBARA TOM AND BARBARA. They're seriously so cute that I am at loss for words. (*cue Marilla Cuthbert rolling her eyes at this loss-for-words-fiddlesticks.*) I'm afraid Marilla would roll her eyes a lot at me; especially when I start talking about Emma and Knightley. Just look at these two:

JUST YES. AND YES. I LOVE THEM.



However, of course, the award for the cutest couple ever ever EVER goes to Minnie and Alfie in Lark Rise to Candleford. These two are so freakin adorable together it's literally TIRING to watch. (No, really.)

This is my favourite couple-in-love-song I have ever listened to. (At least, at the moment. These things change.) Carrie Underwood's voice is fire and lightning and roses and candles all rolled into one, and this song is so passionate and calm and soothing and beautiful AHHH I LOVE IT. (Let's listen to it together.)

... if this post doesn't make you appreciate romance, I don't know what will. Happy Valentine's day, folks. If you're single, don't mourn your singleness but yeah, do squeal over cute couples because it makes life a great deal rosier and it's really fun. (Do talk about your favourite cute couples in the comments because I can always do with more sappiness.)

Happy Valentines day!

No, I don't do much for Valentines day. Actually, I don't do anything. I might write down a romantic scene for the occasion, and wear a red top, but that's as far as it'll go. And no, I am not against Valentines day - I like the festive occasion, and maybe one day, if it's God's always-perfect-plan for me to have a romantic relationship with a second Mr Knightley, I shall start really celebrating it. But now it's kind of this weird-festive-day we tend to ignore.

But still! I have scrambled up my favourite sweet-romance-scenes for you all to enjoy! I've been wanting to do this for quite some time, and I thought today was the perfect occasion to actually get to it.

I have to say, I planned on ignoring all the Jane Austen romance scenes in the post, because I've talked about these SO many times. But yeah... ignoring THIS Emma-Knightley scene? IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD TO DO ZTIS ONE. (Eck, loads of capital letters. Beh, I don't care - it shows you how enthusiastically I am grinning and Knightley and Emma's faces right now.)

Honestly, THESE TWO.

THIS SCENE.

I jest... jest... adore this scene to shatters and letter-by-letter. Her dress, his sweet words, their TENSION.

AHHH. THIS SCENE.

Oh, and Emma and Alex in the adorable Youtube series Emma Approved have sooo many squeeful moments that I can't pin down on one. But this one - the one with the cuuuuute explosion noise - is definitely one of them. And then the way she stares as he leaves the room.... D'AWWWW.

I adore Rose and Atticus as a couple, and their engagement scene in the little private dark hall was so adorable. I personally thought it perhaps a little too hasty, but it was Adorable with a capital A. I absolutely love Atticus, and he and Rose are SO well suited. It's a pity about his father and her mother, though. huh.

Just cuz. Yeah. Mary and Matthew will NEVER get old.

  

I loved Matty and Ned in Berkerly Square. There were times I wished their relationship went a bit faster (read: a LOT faster) and when I wished they'd forgive each other and so on, but seriously, those two gave me warm fuzzy feels inside. They were adorable.

There was this ridiculously romantic scene on the roof tops too. It was sooo romantic and sooo fuzzy feels-ish. :-) And I lovelovelove the way Ned says, 'Matty.' He says it like this: 'Mah-y.' Yup. These two are sweeeet together. And the silent filled looks they give each other - and when they hold hands in the park. LOVE THAT.

Every Period Drama couple with Dan Stevens as the guy is one of my favourites. Loved these two as Elinor and Edward. Great E's.

The only person who treats Amy Dorrit in the way which she deserves is Arthur Clenham. He's so sweet towards her and caring and gentlemanlike. And it takes SUCH a long time before they are finally reunited, but my word, it's SO worth the wait. The scene where those two hug and openly love each other in the Marshalsea... SO PRICELESS.

I was crying. :-) Cuz I was just soo happy to see those two happy and cuz they're gorgeous.

I can't even tell you how my insides are smiling right now. I love my favourite couples sooo much. :-)

How do you spend Valentines day?

What are some of your favourite couples?
