11. A Couple Who Sweaters Together Stays Together

Though many deem the second film in the Bridget Jones series to be less than par, it has some amazing Mark Darcy moments that continue to prove why he’s every girls dreamboat. Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason begins with Bridget and Mark being seven weeks into their new relationship and happily existing in their little bubble of love.

And, in an ode to the original film, there is a scene where Mark and Bridget attend her mother’s Turkey Curry lunch in. This time though, they wear matching sweaters from Mark’s mother. It may be a cheap shot at a call back to the reindeer sweater heard round the world, but that doesn’t mean it does endear us to Mark.

He doesn’t seem the type to do idiotic couple-y things and yet he willing wears a god awful sweater to appease his mother and his girlfriend. It says a lot about him.

Mark isn’t the kind of guy who will act goofy just to make a girl laugh but it’s this continual appeasement to his mother that shows how much he cares. Again, Darcy isn’t going to straight up admit feelings about anything to anyone without prodding but it’s the little moments that show his true intentions.
