Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you\u2019re gawking at it from the outside. In this column<\/a>,<\/a> we examine the celebrity couples who give us hope for our own romantic futures as we try to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds.<\/p>\n

If I could be anywhere on this globe right now, it would probably be New York City, to celebrate the Knicks\u2019 big win<\/a>\u2014but failing that, I\u2019d transport myself to the Amalfi Coast to third-wheel Dua Lipa and Callum Turner<\/a>\u2019s fabulous-looking honeymoon. (But, like\u2026not in a weird way. I\u2019d leave them alone! I\u2019d just also rent an inner tube and sunbathe in the water and maybe finally finish my audiobook of Strangers by Belle Burden<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when a celebrity weds her intended in a wildly elegant, Bianca Jagger-inspired Schiaparelli skirt suit<\/a> at London\u2019s Old Marylebone Town Hall, she must then go a little bit wild with the PDA on her honeymoon. Well, that\u2019s exactly what Lipa seems to be doing as she and Turner kiss all over Italy, with a source telling People: \u201cThey spend their days enjoying the water, talking, laughing and soaking up the sunshine. They look incredibly happy, keep holding hands and are very cute.\u201d Quite!<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t mistake my clocking of their PDA for any kind of chastisement; I love a sexy little honeymoon, or, in fact, a horny aquatic moment of any kind. (Remember Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> and Lily-Rose Depp<\/a>\u2019s 2019 yacht makeout?<\/a> I truly believe that Chalamet was meant for Kylie Jenner<\/a> and Depp was meant for 070 Shake<\/a>, but I still view that thirsty bit of pop-culture ephemera through rose-colored glasses.) Even if you\u2019re a gorgeous famous person\u2014or maybe especially then\u2014weddings are stressful, and Lipa and Turner had two of them, one in London and one in Sicily. Don\u2019t they deserve to unwind in each other\u2019s amorous company? Butt grab<\/a> and all, I\u2019m here for it.<\/p>\n

Charli xcx and George Daniel, Troye Sivan, Joe Alwyn, Mark Ronson, and Grace Gummer were among the celebrity guests who graced Lipa and Turner\u2019s second nuptials in Palermo<\/a> earlier this month, and honestly, I think Charli herself would (and probably does!) approve of the now-wedded pair\u2019s passion for one another. I mean, this is the romantic poet who gave us the immortal lyrics: \u201cI wanna dance to me \/ I wanna dance to A. G. \/ I wanna dance with George \/ I wanna dance to SOPHIE.\u201d Should I try to become a pop star so that I, too, can know this specific joy?<\/p>\n

To paraphrase Hugh Grant in Love, Actually, whenever I get a bit gloomy about the state of the world, I remind myself that Lipa and Turner\u2019s meet-cute involved realizing they were reading exactly the same book<\/a> (Trust by Hern\u00e1n D\u00edaz, if you\u2019re curious). I would expect nothing less from a book club doyenne<\/a> and her man; now I just want to know what they\u2019re each reading in between stolen kisses on their honeymoon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you\u2019re gawking at it from the outside.
