Hollywood couples these days are hard to gauge, there’s no knowing how long one romance will last or if marriage is just around the corner. There are however, couples which we could only conjure up in our teen romance dreams which have lasted longer than anyone could have imagined. Sarah Michelle Gellar, the kick ass girl next door who we know best as Buffy, was always the girl we looked up to. And Freddie Prinze Jr., who I’m sure we all remember as the sensitive and caring teenage heart throb, turns out, is everything we ever day dreamt about. The two Gen-Y staples of the 1990s teen epic and rom-com community actually got married. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane. It feels almost as if this adorable couple is sealed in a time capsule, tightly sealed and holding all of our memories of bleached spiked tips and mom jeans.

The two first met back in 1997 on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer, though Sarah Michelle didn’t make it out alive and Jennifer Love Hewitt got the guy (darn her and her big beautiful eyes) a romance was sparked. And the romance grew and grew while the two continued to star in film roles and TV appearances. We can’t forget her in Cruel Intentions or her leading role on the WB’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” though she finally called it quits; much to our disappointment, in 2003. Freddie Prinze Jr. we all remember from when he played Zack in She’s all That, back when we wore messy overalls hoping he’d come along to take off our glasses.

After years of dating the two finally tied the knot upon their return from shooting the film which would forever cement as the ideal pair. They portrayed the ultimate power-couple, Daphne and Freddy, in 2002’s Scooby Doo!  “If you love someone and you choose to spend the rest of your life with that person, that’s your partner in every way.” Said Gellar about their relationship.

The two have kept out of the spot light, happily together, having their first child Charlotte in 2009 and recently welcoming their second baby in 2012, Rocky.
