The Love At First Sight Bracket

Buttercup may have seemed annoyed with her 'farmboy' at first, but she very quickly took a shining to him. Their love was true love, as was emphasized throughout the story. Westley went off to find his fortune before he would marry Buttercup, but he got kidnapped by the Dread Pirate Roberts, who is reported to never take survivors. Buttercup fell into despair and claimed she would never love again. Fast forward five years, and Buttercup finds herself embroiled in a plot to start a war, stemming from her own assassination. That's when we find out Westley hasn't died at all, but has become the new Dread Pirate Roberts. Westley rescues Buttercup twice, even trumping death itself because he had a good reason to come back -- True Love.

In the disney version they meet in the beginning and get together in the end, in other versions they meet only at the end when the prince hears of the beautiful woman in the casket. His love for her at first sight is ultimately what saves the princess' life, be it true loves kiss or a stumble acting as a the Heimlich maneuver. Plus in the og version their wedding is where they get revenge on the queen and it is AMAZING

They have an immediate connection, down in the dumps. It takes a while for them to get together, but they catch some sort of feelings right away.

The ultimate malewife x girlboss ship. The argument could be made that Howl's been in love with Sophie and has been looking for her since he was a child, but from the time that they meet as adults to when they get together at the end of the movie is like a week max.

the third line that came out of klavier's mouth was "i've never felt like that with a man before" and it was directed at apollo. they got weird and flirty so incredibly fast it's unbelievable. the amount of times klavier compliments apollo in court rivals the height of empire state building measured in centimeters, and they are in court like... immediately after meeting each other. apollo isn't better, he is both jealous of klavier's success, bitter about it and ready to "pull him out of the darkness" the third time they meet, whatever that even MEANS. yk what the worst part is??? i don't even like this ship that much. i don't care for them. but i saw this poll and i knew i had to submit them because this whole thing is so hard not to admit and see, they are insufferable and i hate them!!!

Their first meeting is accompanied by a beach boys song. they open up to each other within 1 hour of introduction, having literally never opened up to anyone else in their 40+ years of life. They're ready to run away together forever within like a month of meeting. also I care about this so fucking much <- ed kinnie.

Zack and Aerith met when he crashed through the ceiling of the old rundown church where she grew her flowers, and by the end of the day, they were already on a date! After Zack was kidnapped and imprisoned, Aerith wrote him a total of 89 letters, hoping to hear from him, and throughout the time after he broke out, Zack used his memories of Aerith to fuel him forward. When Zack was finally caught and killed, Aerith could feel his soul returning to the Planet and was one of the only people to remember him and mourn him. Even in death, the two of them were together to cheer on their friends.

I mean.. they felt in love during their first meeting and wanted to get married after less than a week of relationship but their love was pure and strong and well they had to face so many problems before finally getting married that we can only acknowledge the power of their love and the fact that yes it was love at first sight but it was mostly true love.
