Quotes:

Gwen: We are not suspending the wedding. No way.
Rhys: Forget the money! I want you where they can look after you, right? Getting married today doesn't matter...
Gwen: It matters to me! It's not about the money, Rhys. I want to marry you today, whatever happens; if the skies suddenly fill with spaceships, or an army of Weevils climb out of the drains at St Mary's Street, you fool! [hits him with a magazine] D'you not understand what I'm saying, Rhys Williams? [she starts crying] All I want to do today is marry you. That's all I want to do. [he hugs her]

Gwen loves and adores Rhys "from the top of her head to the tips of her toes, she loves him with everything she is." - Eve, The Rift, April 26th 2008

If Jack made Gwen choose Torchwood or Rhys, Eve emphatically and instantly said Gwen would never choose Torchwood over Rhys. He’s number one. - Eve, The Rift, April 26th 2008

Any other shippers here?
I love them so much. They seem like such a real couple, and it's obvious how much they love each other.

And how perfect were they in last night's finale? I loved the scene at the police station where he calls her a hero and gives her strength to continue.

"Will you marry me again?"

YES! Oh I love Gwen/Rhys

And there was so much love there in Exit Wounds.

Spike it up · 04-05-2008, 03:03 AM

Should we start a list?

Spoiler:

AAVaria · 04-05-2008, 03:06 AM

Sure why not

I just loved how Rhys was there supporting her the whole time.

If you start a list, add me! Rhys is just so good for her and they have grown so much. I had my doubts throughout the season on the Gwen side but she came through in the end.

AAVaria · 04-05-2008, 03:15 AM

Oh and add me as well... I hope that was assumed

And here's to much more Gwen/Rhys love in S3.
They've been through a LOT... but they've gotten through it, and I think Rhys has really grown as a person as well, and he's been able to accept Torchwood which is what Gwen really needed.

change my luck · 04-05-2008, 03:18 AM

I've always enjoyed Rhys' character, insecurities and all (totally dont blame him for any insecurities where Gwen is concerned) and at times I've felt like he loves her so much more than she does him but they have come a long way and they have got a lot farther to go but I think they can only get stronger from here.

AAVaria · 04-05-2008, 03:31 AM

We should have a DW/TW Adelaide get together

But I think the group would be small

change my luck · 04-05-2008, 03:53 AM

haha probably just you and me

Spike it up · 04-05-2008, 03:53 AM

Started the list.

Will work on the opening post later.
What should we add?

I couldn't agree more about what you guys said.
I'm happy Rhys got some development this year, and he became one of my favourite characters.
And I love how he keeps Gwen grounded, he's always there to say what she needs to hear.

After Mr. and Mrs. Coach on FNL, Gwen and Rhys are my second favourite real couple on TV, in a way that they seem really real and believable, and I can imagine them actually growing old together. They just fit together so well and I love how they work though all their issues.

change my luck · 04-05-2008, 03:59 AM

ITA. Nothing really beats Mr and Mrs Coach for me but these two come close. They are not my favourite ship in Torchwood but they are definately one of the more realistic ships and they reach up there on Eric/Tammy level int he marriage aspect. I just find them to be camptivating and just real. They have had issues and there has been jealous but they coe through in the end and I just get the vibe that this relationship is going to last.

We definately need a banner

and maybe some caps?

Steph (TearlessPhoenix) is also in Adelaide

They really do feel like a real couple. We've seen everything from going on normal dates, to fights, to that adorable scene with them in bed at the beginning of Adam.

Like in Adrift when Rhys got angry at her for always talking about Torchwood, but then at the end he was there for her and let her just talk. Which is what she always wanted, and why she turned to Owen in the beginning, she didnt have anyone to talk to about all the things she'd seen.

Banner.. Caps... Oo something pretty like from their wedding

change my luck · 04-05-2008, 04:03 AM

Im glad its Rhys she can talk to now, I feel like since he knows about Torchwood there isnt much holding them back anymore - she can be open with him and even if all the Torchwood talk frustrates him at times he is there for her whenever wherever.

Well said.

I feel the same way.

I especially loved them in Adrift. I like how Rhys stands up to her and is actually able to get her to listen, but is also there to comfort when she needs it.

Post everything (caps/quotes/moments/reasons/..) you think we should add guys. I'll add it.

I'm a bit short on time until exam on Monday, but I'll get on banner making duty after that if we don't have a banner by then.

That scene, and that first one when they're giggling in bed at the start of Meat are probably my favourite G/R scenes this year, after "All I want to do today is marry you."

I think having Rhys find out about Torchwood was one of the best things that happened this year. It really contributed to the storylines and made their relationship way more interesting.

ETA: Eek, just realized I double posted. Sorry.
