3. CHANDLER’S PROPOSAL
Who could forget Chandler’s heartfelt proposal to Monica? With tears in his eyes, he said, “You make me happier than I ever thought I could be,” reminding us that beneath the humour, Chandler was all heart.

It always hits harder when it’s the ones from your childhood. Chandler was my favourite character in Friends and it was because of how Matthew Perry played him. He did it so well despite his own troubles. An absolutely massive loss. pic.twitter.com/mloIlbNJXn
