classic couples

{audrey hepburn and mel ferrer}

{marilyn monroe and joe dimaggio}

{penelope cruz and javier bardem}

{michelle and barack obama}

{jane birkin and serge gainsbourg}

{beyonce and jay-z}

{kate middleton and prince william}

{heidi klum and seal}

{lauren bacall and humphrey bogart}

who doesn't love a sweet love story around this time of year? my favorites are some of the more historic love stories, like marilyn & joe or jane & serge. the ones that have a bit of mystique around their relationship. and it wasn't fueled by twitter and usweekly.
