Goodreads asked Lydia Sherrer:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Lydia Sherrer Oooh, that's a hard one. If I'm going for light and fluffy, I love Mr. and Mrs. Smith from, of course, Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie). But as far as serious literary characters are concerned I adore the story of Beren and Luthien from Tolkien's universe, and of course the mirror story of their descendants, Aragorn and Arwen. It's not the trite, dramatic love of Romeo and Juliet, but a deep abiding love that weathered the long ages and never withered, never faltered, never gave up. It is the most beautiful love story in fiction.
