Lovely Party- Part 2 Declarations of Love

Welcome back!  It's time for.....

*drumroll, please*

Today we have a list of some of our favorite "declarations of love" movie scenes!

  What constitutes a "declaration of love", you may ask?  Well, for us this means any scene where a character expresses his or her feelings of love to or about their love interest, whether for the first time, or in reaffirmation.

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

 

1) Edward Ferris & Elinor Dashwood

[Sense and Sensibility]

This is the only video of Edward's proposal that we could find and it's not the best, but we couldn't not include this couple so just fill in the blanks where needed!  

I just love this scene!  It's just so sweet.  Here Elinor has been so miserable on her own, trying to be happy for Edward's imminent marriage, and then finally, when she resolves herself that he's not the one for her, he shows up and announces himself quite free!  Aghh!!  And then he tells her how long he's loved her, but why he couldn't tell her.....and....will she marry him????

2) Tzitel & Motel 

[Fiddler On The Roof]

I ADORE Motel and Tzitel! And when Motel overcome's his fears to stand up for his love AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

This scene is just.....wonderful!  I love Motel's timid sincerity as he states his case before Tevye and then rises to the occasion to tell his future father-in-law why he's a good match for Tzitel!  Oh, it's a wonderful dialogue!

3) Alfie Arlis & Minnie

[Lark Rise to Candleford] 

Minnie is the purest little lump of goodness and she found the perfect match in Alfie! I love that line, "I am yearnin' for him and he is yearnin' for me",

*goes off sobbing* 

4) Cosette & Marius

[Les Miserables]

I have one word for you.....

🎝'Just one look and I knew.....I KNEW IT, TOO'🎜

(actually, that's 10 words, but who's counting?)

Eeek!  I adore this part of Les Mis!

5) Emma Woodhouse & Mr. Knightley

[Emma]

'I find....I do not know what to think'........

(sighs dramatically)

6) Prince Henry & Danielle de Barbirac 

[Ever After]

Oh my word, I love this movie so much!!!! And Prince Henry's proposal? Where are my smelling salts, I'm about to swoon!!

Oh, come now, Grace, you're not really going to...(hears loud thud)...Agh!  Grace!! Grace? GRACE?!  Hill!  HILL!  Fetch some water immediately!

7) Prince Albert & Queen Victoria

[The Young Victoria]

This scene is so touching!  Albert was the only one rooting for Victoria's success, while Victoria's own mother was interested only in controlling her daughter's power as Queen.

8) Amy Dorrit & Arthur Clennem via John Chivery

[Little Dorrit]

 

Poor dear sweet John! He deserved better! This scene is so emotional I'm gonna cry!

9) Grace O'Malley & Tiernan

[The Pirate Queen]

Grace and Tiernan are such a testament to lasting love and commitment. If you haven't listened to this musical, stop right now and save it to listen to later. It is AMAZING!

10) Anne Elliot & Frederick Wentworth

[Persuasion]

Oh, this love story is so heart-wrenching........but in a good way!  This scene was done just beautifully with Anne reading Frederick's letter, and then running, trying to catch the him to tell him.....*sniff, sniff*......to tell him.......*sniff, sniff*......she loved him too!!  Oh, it's just too delightful!

11) Demelza & Ross

[Poldark]

This was one of the best Poldark moments!  The poor thing in love with a good for nothing, stubborn, bullheaded, proud, Ross and then he FINALLY realizes what a treasure she is.......and how much he in fact is in love with her!

12) Fanny Price & Nick Arnstein

[Funny Girl]

This song is sung after Fanny and Nick are already married, and when they are going through a VERY rough patch. It is Fanny's reiteration of her love and willingness to stand by her husband and I think it's just beautiful and was crying from the start! Fanny, you dear, wonderful, beautiful thing!!! Yes, you stand by your man and let him know that you won't let him go! Barbara Streisand has such an amazing voice!

13) Mia & Nicholas

[Princess Diaries 2]

Ah yes, the ever perfect response to a declaration of love... 

"Do you have a chicken for my table?"

Just keep that in mind ladies and gents!!!

And we reach the end......alas!

So what are your favorite confessions of love? Have you seen any of the scenes from our collection?

Do tell us in the comments!

See you soon for Part 3!

Cordially,

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

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!!
