If Ross and Rachel showed that love could be complicated and awkward, Monica and Chandler did the opposite, as, despite their disputes and differences, they always seemed made for each other. Their sudden romance was unexpected but ended up being one of the show's biggest highlights, and this moment was the best they shared.

The build-up to this proposal was filled with confusion, tension and adrenaline, as Chandler tried to make his proposal a surprise by convincing Monica that he never wanted to get married. This, coupled with her ex-boyfriend Richard's sudden confession of love to her made her doubt the relationship, causing plenty of stress for viewers.

The episode concludes with Chandler rushing around trying to find Monica and propose but being told by Joey that she left. Then, in a shocking twist, he opens the door to their apartment and sees that it's lit by tonnes of candles, and Monica is there, ready to propose to him.

They end up both proposing to each other in a beautiful moment that showed just how strong their relationship was. It's an image that many think of when they recall this TV couple, and there's a good reason for that, as it's one of the best TV proposals of all time.
