We took to Twitter to ask: what’s the first ship that swept you off your feet? Romance fans, you did not disappoint! Which of these nostalgic ships made YOUR heart flutter?
Ella and Char from the book Ella Enchanted (not the movie version which is trashhhh)

Char is SO dreamy, We’ll agree to disagree about the movie version, Alison ;).
Thinking really hard about this. Was it Mary Anne + Logan from the BSC or Kelly and Zack from Saved by the Bell? Steve and Laura from Family Matters? This is so, so tough!

We, too, have many first loves!
Lizzie and Darcy. Read P&P in 4th grade and have been shopping those two for close to 4 decades now

Lizzie and Darcy…the original slow-burn!
Oh, easy one, Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe.

With dance moves like those, they have to be soulmates!

There’s nothing like a good animated ship!
This! Peter Pan and Wendy Darling are the first characters I can remember shipping. 😍 I hated that they didn’t end up together, so I wrote a contemporary retelling called PAN. It’s a lot more 😈👉🏻👌🏻 plus an HEA. #FixedIt 😂 https://t.co/dldYB3pOHz
