_Just because something is not perfect… does not make it any less worthy of love. Your father made you believe otherwise. He made you believe that you needed to be without fault in order to be loved, but he was wrong. Should you need any proof of the matter, then… Then look just here.I am tired of pretending. And I cannot continue acting as if I… As if I do not love you. Because I do. I love all of you. Even the parts that you believe are too dark and too shameful. Every scar. Every flaw. Every imperfection.I love you. You may think you are too damaged and too broken to ever allow yourself to be happy, but you can choose differently, Simon. You can choose to love me as much as I love you. That should not be up to anyone else. That cannot be up to anyone else. It can only be up to you._ 💕

Violet’s role is underrated, may not be as flashy as others, but her role in shaping their marriage and if we want to praise Eloise about feminist, just look at her mum who raised 8 wonderful children and manages the entire household as a widow in that period, a feminist doesn’t have to walk with books, Violet is one role model society often don’t celebrate - motherhood and its impact on our society

lady danbury ordering everyone out even the queen 😂

What the mother says is something many people forget these days. Love is a choice and it's not always easy

Everyone is so obsessed with Kate and Anthony and of course they're perfect too, but for me Daphne and Simon's love was so beautiful and unique and just different from everything else ❤

When the mom is the shipper you need not worry.❤️

Her mother KNEW from day 1. Mothers they say, are always right

His father damaged him to the point that he felt he was unlovable. He believed he was not worthy. Daphne saved him. For the first time he felt loved. Kudos to the writers and actors. This could have easily been cheesy. But instead it is captivating and provocative. Loved every moment of it.

I didn’t realize how powerful this scene was until now. During their waltz, notice how all the other couples are looking towards the side to see where they’re going, but Daphne and Simon are looking straight into each other’s eyes majority of the time, especially when the slow-motion part happens. Thats when you can really tell how much they love each other. Absolutely stunning and breathtaking scene.

I love that she walks away. She said what she had to say and now hes gotta think about it. She didnt push for an answer or a swept up in the moment kiss, it was a take it or leave type thing and honestly I loved it.

Phoebe Dynevor's performance as Daphne Bridgerton is absolutely stunning and enthralling. She has so many subtle yet effective ways to emote, though none can penetrate the heart quite as quickly as her eyes. There's not one instance of insincerity in them which Phoebe fails to be true to Daphne. I believe Daphne's hardship in realizing her future with Simon, her missteps, her innocence and heartache. I believe Daphne's love for Simon; together through the ever-stellar work of Regé-Jean Page, the intensity of that love they share for one another.

The bar is so damn high. Crossing my fingers for season 2, I can't even lie.

Netflix is milking the Bridgerton obsession and I am HERE FOR IT. The waltz song is one of my most played on Spotify this year. Excellent show. Excellent music. Just excellent all around

After the storm, after the fights, after the misunderstandings and general fucked-upery - Daphne and Simon are faced with the unavoidable, inalienable truth - they are truly, madly and deeply in love with each other; and here we see them make a very conscious choice to *continue* loving each other. I love this scene. It gives me Beyonce - All Night vibes. Nothing like it when you need a good sob into a tub of ice cream

It is really powerful that her mother says : you are a Bridgerton, there is nothing you can not do. She was always behind Daphne to encourage her. She is an important person in this family.

It annoyed me so much they didn’t have a rain kiss 😂

2:39 lady danbury and mama bridgerton look SO proud🥺 captains of the simon & daphne ship

Phoebe’s acting during that monologue was perfection. Second favorite scene is the way she delivered her lines while looking at the painting with simon. She is just so so so talented. I’m sure a lot of really interesting new projects are going to come her way now. Love her!!

Lady D hitting Mr Finch with her cane and hustling everyone out always cracks me up...she’s an icon 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😂😂😂😂

I love how you can see Simon's face soften as she says that she loves him. One of my favourite parts. Its very good acting, it seems almost real.

The fact that even the Queen listened to her friend, smiling and leaving.

When the rain falls....the drops falling on the candles, plopping into the glass, trickling down the portrait, the lifting notes of the orchestral piece as Daphne lifts her face to the sky and laughs...that shot was MAGIC😍😍😍😍😍💖💖💖

The rain, symbolizing the chaos of life, and Daphne embracing that chaos with a smile--a "perfect" day becoming "imperfect" and then the monologue, loving her husband for who he is, despite his "imperfections" and embracing the chaos of life together--such a touching scene on what it means to love

Daphne's confession and Simon's turning point.

This three-part sequence is one of my favorite moments in the series so far and carries one of the most beautiful and powerful lessons I ever heard in any romance dramas. Usually, I'm not a big fan of the genre because a lot of movies and TV series tend to sugarcoat love stories, carry dubious (even dangerous) messages about couple relationships and unrealistic expectations about our soulmate. However, the Bridgerton series was an unexpected surprise in those matters and it couldn't be better shown than by the love story between Simon and Daphne (again, the chemistry between Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page is absolutely breathtaking!). ❤️ First, I really love the exchange with the mom talking to Daphne about how she missed her husband every single day and nevertheless be in peace knowing that they made the choice to love and forgive each other despite all the difficulties they had to endure. Not only it is a great bonding moment between mother and daughter but it's a great character growth for Daphne who has been raised with a very idealistic vision of romance (remember the « flawless my dear » scene in the very first episode). No marriage is perfect and could never be. A lot of us (including myself) have grown up with movies and TV shows ending with a happy marriage and have thus developed unrealistic and unhealthy expectations about what happened next in a young couple's life. But for a married life to be really happy and successful, we have to make an effort to accept each obstacle and difficulty not as a barrier but as an opportunity to work together and become an even stronger person. The waltz scene is so magical and beautifully shot. The slow-motion when Simon and Daphne look at each other's eyes while others watched them with awe is a perfect parallel with the first ever dance they had together when they devised their scheme. While in their first scene, Simon and Daphne had to pretend to love each other in order to be well-seen by society, in their last dance, they're not paying attention to the crowd anymore because they fell in love again. When it started to rain, notice how everyone got afraid and run for a shelter, except for Daphne and then Simon. I like to think that it echoes Daphne's final acceptation to embrace hardship and imperfection in her relationship rather than running from it. And Simon first asking her for shelter but deciding to stay with her in the rain echoes him being torn-apart between his insecure self (induced by his father's traumatic upbringing) and his undeniable love for Daphne (the final choice he made). But more than anything, it's Daphne's love speech to Simon that make this TV couple stands out compared to others. I find it so refreshing that this time, it's a woman (rather than a man) who has to declare all her love to her partner and giving him emotional support, something a lot of men in this world seem to need and we often forget about it. Daphne gave what Simon longed for during all his life and that his cold and perfectionist father never even dared to give : unconditional love. During all the season, Simon thought he would never be worthy of Daphne's affection. All because he was taught all his life that no matter how hard he tried to make his father proud by overcoming his stammer, he would never receive any kind of recognition or affection. But Daphne showed him that this idea was completely false because she had always loved him for the man he was, despite all his flaws and all things he thought were shameful in his eyes (but never in Daphne's eyes). Even more, Daphne told him that it is up to him and only him to make the choice to love her, which is a huge contrast to the mistake she made in episode 6 by forcing him to do something for her. And in return, Simon made the decision to definitely break the vow made to his father and chose to live his happiness in its fullest with Daphne. In short, this scene alone successfully completed the character arcs for both Simon and Daphne. For all the reasons cited above, I think this scene should be shown to everyone undergoing couple therapy sessions, so they can figure out where they got all wrong in their relationship. In fact, this scene should be watched by everyone, young or old, who are considering a possible love relationship and a happy marriage like they had dreamed of about all their life.

Show is currently being carried by how good the first season was

Daphne is so brave here. She chose to be vulnerable in front of him and confess her love with her whole being. That's true love right there..

I genuinely think this scene will never be topped in the Bridgerton series. It is a piece of art, honestly. Season 2 was good but the connection Simon and Daphne had was not even scratched by Kate and Anthony. It didn’t feel right the Duke not being there either

These are the most passionate and sizzling love scenes I have ever seen - both the physical and the emotionality. I cannot stop rewatching the scenes.

I think this is the reason why I felt & touched more by season 1 because the 2 main characters learned that loving someone is a choice and it is never perfect but both must do the effort/ hard work for it to work and strive. And yes both of them are flawed characters but it made them human, and they did try to be better. (Daphne, naive innocent girl that has been dependent on her mama; while Simon, scorned broken and thinks he is undeserving of happiness and love).

"You are a Bridgerton... there is NOTHING you CANNOT do..." simply Amazing

I felt Daphne's emotion here I even cried. I cannot imagine myself saying these words to a man that I love because I'm too weak and shy lol. But seriously, Phoebe's acting skills are on high level. Salute to her

One of the absolute best things about the storytelling here is that when the characters finally speak their truth, the words are believable on every level. The character building is exquisite. When Daphne says "Just because something is not perfect does not make it less worthy of love"...it is a fundamental truth for her that we believe, that Simon believes, because her family is imperfect and yet she loves them dearly. Simon can't then question that truth. It is only whether he wants to accept this future for himself--or continue living for cold perfection "forlorn and alone", as Daphne puts it. So beautifully done.

Spent the whole season wondering how they can go all this time in England without a spec of rain (even in the summer)! It was worth the wait!

The way Daphne said "I am tired of pretending...." always got me 🤧🤧

This part right here is certainly my favorite. I love how Phoebe Dynevor acted this from the start of the dance to the end in the rain. She gave the right expression while deliveing such beautiful confession of love. She is great. Such an amazing actress indeed. I am looking forward to what is in store for this woman. She is an absolute delight.

Imagine being that much of a Boss that you can order everyone, even the Queen to leave and her response is to smile in full agreement. I love that friendship.

Lady Bridgerton's speech had my crying so hard. The strength of a mother cheering on her child. And the words so true. They made the choice to love each other every day. just...wow

Season 1 is still my favorite after watching Season 2

I love the way he looks at her ❤️❤️

I kinda want like a 9th season where It’s about Violet and Edmund’s love story tbh. I mean… we hear so much about their love. I kinda want to see how that began.

I think he fell in love with Daphne as soon as they met he was just too scared of being hurt.

3:40 that poor couple they looked so happy and wanted to dance in the rain. I hope they got their chance. Also, damn Simon is beautiful. He is a BEAUTIFUL man.

The way Daphne said :"I wish there was something mama, I wish i could do this.." in such a trembeling and scared voice...is such...peak momment❤❤ I feel it every time..❤❤

Even the Queen obeys Lady Danbury

That was a brilliant speech. Kudos to the writers and Phoebe.

This scene lives in my mind rent free!

The beauty of this moment...it melted my heart, especially the music! It evoked hope. Even the slow motion was freaking perfect, I was smiling just like the people around them 😭🤧😂 You couldn't tell me this was fake. Again big up to Phoebe and Regé they did an AMAZING job giving so much life to their characters!

I wish everyone can find love like this

I don’t care what anyone says I will always love this couple. They weren’t perfect, yes they had some shortcomings but is any human ever perfect? There’s just something so real and uncut about these 2 ❤

Daphne walking away like that after a heartwarming confession, I'm fccking crying again! Daphne & Simon's love story is still the best

I think we can all agree that there was a missed opportunity for a kiss in the rain BUT i love the fact that she walked away and left him pondering her words instead. Made the scene so much more intense for me.

Brigerton 1 is so underrated.

Love this scene so much Simon finally gets the recognition of love he deserves from the one he loves Daphne. 😍

This is my favorite dance in the entire season, i-it just hits so different.

Man I just literally watched this part before coming here. Hey Netflix we are in the same league: addicted to Bridgerton.

This is such a powerful scene. First Daphne with her Mom, encouraging her to have strength and then with Da[phne with the Duke sharing and encoouraging him. I loved the dyamics, the music, the interaction, the portrait, Lady Danbury. It was MAGIC!!!!

this scene is beautiful, these two are so precious ✨🫶🏻

Daphne's mother is beautiful. This cast is fab!

Daphine and Simon are still the best love story I have ever seen. Acting for both actors superb.

Who does not get goosebumps when she says ' but you can choose, Simon'... Her intonation and then in the wedding night confession... goosebumps again when she says, 'it is you I cannot sacrifice ' ... Beautifully done by both of them, unforgettable eloquence and nuance. ❤️🥰 And dancing to the outstanding song from A Little Chaos, another unforgettably beautiful period romance. Only disappointment is that he never once told her he loved her 💔

I love how the Bridgertons confess their love both Daphne amd Anthony’s confessions make me tear up 🥹💞

Just realized that Anthony is probably somewhere under the rain crying and heartbroken.

I will never forget the feeling I had watching the 1st season of Bridgerton...

This was pure magic. All of it. And this scene? Wow. From her mother admitting that she still missed her father so much, to the music, to the rain and even the Queen being dismissed! Incredible. Roll on season two and beyond!

This season is my favorite of all. The chemistry is so intense. I still hope they include Simon in the the next seasons.

I've watched this series for over 5 times and I burn for S2🤒🤒

Phoebe is a great actress and this scene was one of the best in the show . I believe that she deserve more attention as Rege has!

There is something about this scene that makes me keep coming back to it, somehow it soothes my anxiety, my unwanted emotions. My little cheat code to peace, whether it is just for some time :)))

Daphne enjoying the rain makes me Soooooo happy. Because these days a lot of ppl love the rain only when they're not getting wet and they miss the absolute happiness you can gain while being under the rain

Her saying that to Simon made me cry. He needs to know he's enough and that she truly loves him. Best scene in my opinion. And yes lady Danbury is the best lol

I am really sorry for Simon. With all that wealth and such low self esteem. Daphne and he were destined to be together so he could heal.

When I tell you this scene made me cry so much.... the passion between these two is so amazing

This is true love.

All that talk of separating and the first thing he does as it starts to pour is reach for her to pull her out of the rain🥲my heart😭😭😭😭

My favourite scene throughout the whole show!

Both seasons are amazing and different in their own way just as daphne and simons story differentiates from anthony and kate’s story. They’re different but both seasons were perfect in their own way in my opinion. Both couples are beautiful and the chemistry from both sets of actors was off the charts!!

THIS SCENE

I love how she says that loving each other was a decision that they made every day. I also love how she doesn’t sugarcoat love and talks about trials that they chose to face every day.

I wanna see Philipa Featherington and Albion Finch get married. Lord knows that family need some relief.

We never see any scenes with violet and edmund in this show but the way this actress talks and emotes about their love really makes you feel as though you were with them and witnessed their love story, first hand It's soooo heartwarming

Just look at the way her exuberance makes everybody want to go out into the rain and dance. She’s special.

Phoebe Dynevor was fantastic 👏

Im watching this like I never watched this episode many times😭 Seasoonnn 2 please😭😭😭

This moment reminded me of a Nicholas Sparks moment, since the kissing and declaration of love in the rain are his trademarks! ☔😍

I don’t think there will ever be another scene in a show that gives me as much serotonin as this one does

This is my favorite scene. I feel every word Daphne says to Simon. It’s so beautiful to me

The most beautiful confession. Ever.

One of my favourite scenes of the whole first season. I fell in love with D&S's love story. The chemistry between Phoebe and Rege was magical.

Low key wanted them to keep dancing like nothing could phase them when they are together 😭

Nothing compares to season 1 of Bridgerton!❤

Nobody seems to be talking about that moment in 1:31 - Daphne's showing a moment of desperation, vulnerability, her trembling lips, and teary eyes. THIS was the moment where my heart just broke and felt for her. Violet's words of encouragement were just what I needed to be bawling. I keep coming back to this scene. It's just simply amazing! Cant wait for season 2!

the chemistry the actors have is insane ❣❣

5:10 this part right here😩😢❤️ "I love all of you, even the parts you believe are too dark and too shameful..." Good gracious this show! It's like she stopped acting and was saying things that she's been dying to say (not particularly to Rege-Jean). I absolutely love this scene. It's on par with that one scene from Pride and Prejudice (2005) when Mr D'Arcy (Matthew) told Elizabeth (Keira) how deeply he loved her and the control she had over him, "... You have bewitched me both body and soul, and I love...I love... I love you, and never wish to be parted from you from this moment/day (I can't remember 🙆🏽‍♀️😂) on." However, this scene also shows how much Daphne grew as a person and especially a woman. From this naive virgin to a woman who got schooled extremely well in the lessons of life, love and marriage. Not many young women are so fortunate to allow the universe to humble them that way and they accept it, and grow up. Some let a good thing go by and ruin the marriage. As for Simon, he grew just as much. I dare say that the most growth for him was listening to this speech and hear another human being tell him that he is enough; flaws and all. He is enough and can be loved unconditionally if he just accepts it, and believes it. Their marriage was blessed that he did, because it really is a CHOICE to love someone. Love does not choose whom you fall in love with, coz it has no boundaries, but you're gonna have to be willing to take that love and work with it, or don't bother at all. These period dramas are too much, I tell you. I need to pray🤣🤣😢🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🤪

After having watched S2-present of Bridgerton and being OBSESSED with QC I officially went back and watched S1 after skipping it years ago. I finally finished and when I say this might be the most cinematically beautiful SCENES of the entire series! The strings, the slow motion, rain dripping on the drinks, fruit, portrait, Daphne in pure bliss, Simon in wonder, the crowd in endearment,the STRINGS, a beautiful beautiful love confession. Wow. I can say I was truly missing out on season 1.

Pleas give the mom some love interest. She’s such as nice character.

This is the most beautiful scene on Netflix and Violin 🎻 makes it even better ❤

Still the best!! Season 1 had such special moments.

This is my most favorite scene of both seasons. Nothing will top this. I could watch it a hundred times and get choked up every time. ❤️ Simon is my dream man.

The actress Ruth Gemmell is just perfection in this role as the mother.
