Finn and Rachel, Glee

We're not crying, you're crying! McKinley's QB was a true hero (both on and off screen), and it's no wonder Rachel fell head over heels for him, and he for her.

Alicia and Will, The Good Wife

We will never, ever forgive Hunter Parrish for being the one to end Will's life (yes, we know this is a tv show, but still). But we are thankful that we got to watch these two legal experts steam up the Lockhart Gardner offices for a few years, at least.

FOX

David and Donna, Beverly Hills 90210

A lot might have come between these two high school sweethearts--drug problems, Ray Pruitt, etc.--but come on, did we ever think they wouldn't end up together?

Leslie and Ben, Parks and Recreation

We love them and we like them and we want to be them or maybe to be adopted by them. Our love for this couple is complicated but oh so real.

Zack and Kelly, Saved by the Bell

The only thing sweeter than the cheerleader and the big man on campus getting together is an ice cream sundae from the Max.

Jesse and Becky, Full House

Their love is still burning even after all these years, and they're also still the greatest (great) aunt and uncle any kid could ask for.

Santana and Brittany, Glee

Like Lord Tubbington, we also think they're purrrrfect (as was their beyond gorgeous wedding).

Buffy and Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The couple that tries and sometimes succeeds at killing each other together has no chance of staying together but that doesn't make them any less great.

The WB/Richard Cartwright

Buffy and Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

They may have been the definition of dysfunctional, but Spuffy had a bond (and an affect on each other) that can't be beat.

Olivia and Peter, Fringe

Whether here, over there, or in an animated blimp on an LSD trip, few couples have been through more and came out of it as strong as these two continually did.

Luke and Lorelai, Gilmore Girls

There's nothing like the love between a woman and that woman's lovably grumpy caffeine provider.

Chuck and Blair, Gossip Girl

Three words, eight letters, and a thousand happy tears when the Upper East Side's most perfect couple finally made it official that they're meant to be.

Blaine and Kurt, Glee

Their couple name is so perfect--Klaine! So short and sweet and wonderful--that they kind of had to end up together. Oh also they were an inspiration to plenty of struggling teenagers across the country. But that name though!

Clarke and Lexa, The 100

It would have been great if the post-apocalyptic turf wars had chilled out long enough for these two to have more than split second of happiness together, but Clexa will live on anyway.

Meredith and Derek, Grey's Anatomy

We literally cannot use post it notes without bursting into tears so thanks a lot, Shonda Rhimes.

Carrie and Big, Sex and the City

Whatever happened before or since, few things have made us happier than Big showing up in Paris and finally telling Carrie that she's the one.

Ross and Rachel, Friends

What lady would get off the plane and give up her dream job in Paris for a romance that wasn't one of the best of all time? (Also they're lobsters, duh.)

Damon and Elena, The Vampire Diaries

Not even a devastating sleeping spell can tear this soulmate-defying couple apart, or tear our eyes away from their beautiful romance.

Penny and Leonard, The Big Bang Theory

Forever proving that Schrodinger's cat is totally alive.

Marshall and Lily, How I Met Your Mother

Everybody deserves their own Marshmallow or Lily Pad. And also chimichangas.

Cory and Topanga, Boy Meets World

They've been soulmates since MIDDLE SCHOOL and they're still going strong. If that's not grounds for Greatest TV Couple Ever status, we don't know what is.

Jim and Pam, The Office

We still weep when we see a teapot and we probably always will.

ABC

Brad and Jane, Happy Endings

If they were ever down to turn their hilarious, inspirational, aspirational marriage into a three-way party, sign us up.

NBC

Chuck and Sarah, Chuck

There's no better team in the spy game, or the marriage game (all memory loss aside).
