Romance Central

I know I depressed some of you with my favourite tragic romances so let's look at the one's I love that worked....


Anna & Will
Notting Hill
She's as famous as can be, but this average 'flopsy' British guy came and managed, after several attempts, to secure her heart. They got married and lived happily ever after, sitting on benches in private gardens.
Secret Ingredient: Prescription Diving Goggles

Ana & Harold

Stranger Than Fiction
Just goes to show that giving flours, yes flours can work (I love that scene and that gesture.). Even after getting hit by a bus thanks to a kind hearted author, bed bound Harold lives to see another day with his sweetie.
Secret Ingredient: Cookies

Elinor & Edward
Sense and Sensibility
The girl finds the silent, polite guy of her dreams only to find out he's engaged! After enduring her broken heart and his insufferable fiancee, as fate would have it, she marries the brother instead, leaving Elinor weeping for joy as he proposes in the traditional style filled with emotion.
Secret Ingredient: An atlas

June & Johnny

Walk the Line
After battling drugs, alcohol and a divorce, the love of his life still refused his countless proposals, despite the obvious attraction between the two. June finally said 'yes' putting a little more meaning into my favourite Cash song..."We got married in a fever!..."
Secret Ingredient: A microphone

Sylvia & Truman
The Truman Show
Banned from set and his life, she watched anxiously as he discovered the truth about his life...and remembered the love of his life. After striking the sky one day, he opened the door to find her once and for all.
Secret Ingredient: A red knitted shawl

Ed & H.I.

Raising Arizona
After meeting and marrying, this not-so-ex con (Son of a bitch!) and ex police lady try out for a youngin' with little success. Even after their brief time with Nathan Jr, they're still together, dreaming of happiness.
Secret Ingredient: Huggies

Julia & Robbie
The Wedding Singer
Nothing like finding out you're in love with the girl whose wedding you're planning, not to mention her groom-to-be is a loser, her mother is a snob and your ex suddenly returns, admitting her mistake! But a simple song from first class seals the deal and wedding bells it is.
Secret Ingredient: Blank Sheet Music

Nimue & Merlin
'Merlin'
Their romance was generally from a distance, meeting occasionally to rest from the demands of the world, until Nimue rested a little too long, trapped by Mab's magic. Fortunately, after reunited after so long, a little bit of magic gave them back the time they had lost and they spent their days in peace.
Secret Ingredient: The moon

Hope you all feel better now! Thanks for all your comments.
