The one night stand

This is where Mer-Der all began. The very first time we met Meredith Grey she was waking up next to Derek Shepherd - not that she could remember his name. It was the morning Meredith was starting work at Seattle Grace and Derek was trying to distract her with his charming smile and bare chest. She wasn't distracted, but we certainly were.

This little speech

How Meredith refused to go out with him after this number, we're not sure. (We wish he thought our hair smelled good.) But Derek was correctly confident that she'd change her mind: "You say that now..."

3

This seriously steamy hook-up

Derek tried to do the right thing and make things work with Addison when she came back into his life, but nothing could stand in the way of true love. Not even a floor length prom dress...

4

The first time he said he loved Meredith

Derek and Meredith's relationship didn't get off to the smoothest of starts, but he made up for all of it with this sweet proclamation of love.

5

The elevator proposal

Proposing in a way only an award-winning surgeon would get away with, Derek plastered a hospital elevator with MRI scans of all of the successful surgeries he and Meredith had performed together. He didn't even ask the question or get down on one knee, but that doesn't make it any less dreamy.

6

The post-it note wedding

Mer-Der have never been fans of the conventional, skipping a traditional 'I do' for vows written on a Post-It note. The "old, senile and smelly" clause takes on a whole new meaning now that we know Derek's fate...

7

The house made out of candles

This was Meredith's romantic gesture, not Derek's. Proof that spending time with McDreamy makes you a little dreamy yourself.

8

The time he saved Meredith's life

As if performing brilliant brain surgery on a daily basis wasn't enough, Derek also heroically saved Meredith's life in season three. What more could you want from a boyfriend?

9

This moment with his mum

Derek was in touch with his feelings. He wasn't afraid to shed a few tears, and he didn't care who knew about it. Swoon!

10

The time he danced it out with Meredith

He might not be a natural dancer, but his attempts to cheer up Meredith were admirable. There's no way we could keep frowning if our other-half was this adorable.

11

The time he took Christina fishing

McDreamy knew how to help Meredith's person and took the time to do it.

12

This punch

Now we don't condone violence, but we couldn't help getting butterflies when Derek proved he'd even use his fists to stand up for the love of his life...

13

The time he was an amazing older brother

Protective? Check! Sensitive? Check! Dreamy? Check!

14

The time he wore a princess tiara at Zola's tea party

To top it all Derek proved he was a great dad. And that he could still look pretty damn dreamy in a fluffy pink crown.
