Even though all these couples had what we consider a fairytale romance, not all of them had happy endings.
Still, the intensity of their love is what made us swoon.
See if you agree!
P.S. These couples are in no particular order.
Damon & Elena – The Vampire Diaries
Damon and Elena’s love was true. They went through an enormous amount of trials and tribulations but they always stayed devoted to each other. Despite Elena being asleep for two seasons, it didn’t stop Damon’s love for her. In the end, Delena finally had the heavenly ending they (and the fans) long-deserved as two soulmates bound together forever.
Killian & Emma – Once Upon a Time
From the moment they met Hook and Emma were destined to be together. Sparks didn’t just fly between them, they exploded all around. Throughout the seasons, Captain Swan has been through many trials and tribulations, but they always found their way back into each other’s arms. They are each other’s happy ending, and everything about their relationship makes our hearts swoon.
Jamie & Claire – Outlander
Just call them Mr. and Mrs. Fairytale because they wrote the book on fairytale romances. There’s no television love story more intense than Claire and Jamie’s. They’ve stood by each other through thick and thin and their love knows no bounds.
Magnus & Alec – Shadowhunters
Who can ever forget the magical moment when these two first got together? It was the kiss of the century that sent fans into a frenzy. Now Malec has settled into their role as a couple and we are as happy as they are.
Castle & Beckett – Castle
Despite all their flirtations, it seemed like forever before Beckett and Castle finally became the Caskett of fans dreams. But even after they became a couple they had to deal with many obstacles including a horrific accident on their wedding day that turned into a horrific storyline that made many fans roll their eyes. Eventually, they ended up the way we always wanted – in each other’s arms with a couple of kids!
Philip & Elizabeth – The Crown
This true life fairytale romance is the stuff of dreams. If only everyone could have a relationship as devoted as Elizabeth and Philip’s endless love, the world would be a better place.
Tom & Liz – The Blacklist
Liz and Tom have had some serious up and downs, and there was a point when they weren’t together at all. But when there is a magnetism as strong as theirs, the end result is spectacular. There’s no guarantee about their future happiness, but for now, we’ll take what we can get.
Mitch & Cam – Modern Family
One of the most adorable couples on television, Mitch and Cam have proven over and over that love can endure even in the most difficult of situations.
Derek & Meredith – Grey’s Anatomy
Meredith and Derek never got the happily ever after ending they deserved, but what they had was one of the most mesmerizing romances on television. From a one-night stand to an elevator proposal to a post-it note wedding, this couple has done it all. Their love for each other was of epic proportions. It’s only too bad that it was cut short with a tragic ending none of us saw coming.
Hanna & Caleb – Pretty Little Liars
Hanna and Caleb’s chemistry was thick right from the beginning. We knew it was true love even if they didn’t. Their kisses were as magical as the looks they gave on another. Even when Haleb wasn’t together, the spark of their love was hiding in the background, and we jumped for joy when they finally got their happily ever after!
Rebecca & Jack – This is Us
The heart of This is Us lies in the romance between Jack and Rebecca. They might not always get along, but they know they belong together. They were able to keep their love alive and their family together even through wounds that ran deep. While they might not have had a fairytale ending, what they did have was an everlasting love that will always stay in our hearts.
Vincent & Catherine – Beauty & The Beast
The tale of Catherine and Vincent’s love is as old as time. A beauty meets a beast and they have to figure out how they can be together once they realize they want to be together. It was an uphill battle for them and they fought hard to preserve what they had despite all the obstacles they endured. It warms our hearts when a couple like Vincat has the happy ending that they deserved and fans desperately wanted.
Booth & Brennan – Bones
It didn’t seem possible that anyone could penetrate Brennan’s tough shell, but Booth found a way and there was no looking back for this couple. These opposites couldn’t get enough of each other once they took the plunge, and after 12 years, this lovable crime-solving duo rode off into the sunset with the happiest of happy endings.
Sheldon & Amy – The Big Bang Theory
Good things come to those who wait could be Sheldon and Amy’s motto. There’s nothing wrong with taking things at a snail’s pace as it gives more time to relish in the delights of the other person. Sheldon and Amy finally realized their friendship ran deep and took a chance on each other, and it was the best decision they ever made. Now, they’re headed for another milestone and their happily ever after may get even happier!
Luke & Lorelei – Gilmore Girls
There are many who believe that Luke and Lorelei’s romance is one of the greatest television love stories of all time and we couldn’t agree more. Who better to fall in love with than your best friend? Luke and Lorelei endured because of a mutual respect for one another and an ability to see the humor in their faults. Like every other couple, they had their ups and downs, but they didn’t give up. They fought to make it work because they knew it would. Besides, there was no one else either of them wanted to be with than each other.
Jim & Pam – The Office
If only all office romances could be as great as Jim & Pams’s. They were friends before they were a couple, which sometimes makes for the best kind of romance. They brought out the best in each other even though they had their disagreements, but hey, isn’t that what normal couples do? That’s what makes them so great, they’re down to earth and realistic which makes their fairytale romance even more awesome.
Ben & Leslie – Parks and Recreation
Leslie versus Ben was how it all began and it was especially bitter, but over time they came to understand and develop a mutual respect for each other. This respect turned to true love and the couple that never looked like it could ever happen did. Their relationship carried the show and our hearts all the way to the very happy end!
