Our Lovely Blog Party Contribution Part 1


Hello dear ones! Katherine and I are very excited to share that we are participating in Cordy's Lovely Blog Party!  
*Katherine claps hands with glee while Grace properly dances the minuet*  
For our contributions, we decided to write a 3 part post sharing our favorite first meetings, declarations of love, and weddings of movie couples!! 
So here we are with...


We hope you have as much fun reminiscing over these scenes as we did while gathering them!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1) Danielle De Barbarac & Prince Henry

[Ever After]

This is such a fun first meeting!  You were just minding your own business and then this strange, rather beautiful courtier, who you've never seen before, just calls your bluff right before all your subjects!


2) Lucy Preston & Wyatt Logan

[Timeless]

Oh, man - seeing this clip just made me want to watch this show again so bad!  I love this little back and forth between Wyatt and Lucy with the "Yes, Ma'am", "No, Ma'am", all the while, he's not opening up his eyes.  And then that smile when he does......aghhh!!


3) Princess Mia Thermopolis & Lord Nicholas Devereaux

[Princess Diaries 2]


(Honestly, their second meeting is where they really meet each other, so here is that one too! )


I have to say.....the second video is my favorite!  "She's training to be a flamingo dancer"! :) :)

4) Vera Britton & Roland Leighton
[Testament of Youth]

When better to meet the handsome stranger who will become your beloved than when you've just declared that you will never marry?


5) Rapunzel & Flynn Rider

[Tangled]

When will this scene ever cease to be the best first meeting ever? NEVER!! Such a classic!


6) Anne Wheeler & Phillip Carlyle
[The Greatest Showman]


I wish we could have found a more complete clip of this moment, but even so, I really like this first meeting!  How cool is the time lapse????  Eeek!


7) Kathy Seldon & Don Lockwood

[Singing in the Rain]

Grace and I quote from this all the time! This scene is a wonderfully creative way to get these two characters to meet!  And their banter is simply hilarious!


 8) Anne Shirley & Gilbert Blythe

[Anne of Green Gables]

What can I say, this is a classic?  How could we not include this scene?

9) Michaela Quinn & Byron Sully

[Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman] 

Oh, this one is so cool!  Did you ever think that you'd meet your someone when he almost maims you with his tomahawk in the general store?  And then he continues to make you feel at ease by staring you down with the hardest stare in history?


10) Margret Hale & John Thornton

[North and South]


Isn't this just great??  I mean.....aghh!  The music.....and then she sees him up there on the platform...thinks she might like the look of this guy....and then her hopes crash when she finds out he enjoys beating his employees up when he gets bored.  Too bad...he seemed like such a nice guy.  :) :)

11) Elizabeth Bacon & George Armstrong Custer

[They Died With Their Boots On]


This scene!! The music just adds to the awkward situation and Errol Flynn's facial expressions are just golden!

~~~~~~~

Have you seen any of these? Which ones did we miss? What are some of your favorite first meetings?

See you soon for Part 2!

Katherine and Grace

Bonus- First Meeting of the Family!

12) The Seymour Family & The Kirby Family

[You Can't Take It With You]


I will be honest with you, I would LOVE to marry into this family!!! If this ever happens to me when I meet my future in-laws, I will jump right in and start dancing!!
