Summary

• Charlotte and Harry's relationship was one of the most endearing in Sex and the City, though it wasn't without its ups and downs.
• From the moment they met, Charlotte and Harry were an unconventional couple who both had to put aside many personal hangups to make the relationship work.
• Despite the rocky moments, even at their wedding, the pair managed to find happiness in each other by the time Sex and the City ended.

Fans know Sex and the City's Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) as the sometimes uptight and marriage-minded woman in Carrie's trio of best friends. She has aspirations for life with a successful husband and adorable children but struggles to fulfill these desires, with roadblocks coming up for the idealistic art dealer, season after season. When Charlotte meets Harry Goldenblatt, her dreams finally come true, but it isn't an easy sell for her at first. However, by the end, it is this love story that reigns supreme over the other relationships on the show.

Even though they meet late in the series, Charlotte's relationship with her divorce attorney, Harry Goldenblatt — at first a hard sell for Charlotte — turns out to be the perfect fit, and the couple ends the series on a joyous high. This is great news for Charlotte, as her relationship with her first husband Trey (Kyle MacLachlan) was one that saw both characters heartbroken and shattered by the end. That is one reason that Harry ended up such a fan favorite on Sex and the City and a big reason Charlotte's story had such a perfect ending.

Sex and the City is available to stream on Max.

10 "Pick-A-Little, Talk-A-Little"

Season 6, Episode 4

In the only really heartbreaking episode for the couple, Charlotte is desperate for Harry to propose, but he doesn't seem aware. When she prepares a lavish Shabbat dinner for him, and he brushes it off, she chides him for not being more appreciative of what he has — but comes off as cold and callous. Of course, one of the problems leading into the dinner had nothing to do with Harry. It is the fact that Miranda is pressuring Charlotte about the fact she is not engaged to Harry yet, making her even more self-conscious.

Although a devastating episode for Charlotte, as she temporarily loses the man she loves, it marks an important step

When Charlotte lashes out at Harry because he hadn't proposed after she "gave up Christ" for him, she drops the hurtful line, "Do you know what people think when they see us together?" He sadly says he knows, but didn't think she was one of "them" and then says he had already bought the ring before leaving her. Although a devastating episode for Charlotte, as she temporarily loses the man she loves, it marks an important step in overcoming the superficial trappings she sometimes gets caught up in.

9 "The Perfect Present"

Season 6, Episode 3

As her conversion classes are near completion, Charlotte is doing everything she can to finish them as soon as possible so that Harry will finally ask her to marry him. However, this also means that Charlotte and Harry discuss which traditions from her past she should bring into their new life together. It's a lightweight episode for the couple. It is also one of Sex and the City's only holiday-themed episodes, despite actually taking place in July.

This story mainly concerns Charlotte's love of Christmas, but it features plenty of sweet displays of affection and commitment that Charlotte and Harry fans will love. In the end, Charlotte decides, on her own, to put away her tree for good, recognizing that the only gift she needs is one she already has. It was a huge moment for Charlotte, giving up something she holds dear to prove that her love for Harry is more important than her love of superficial things.

8 "Critical Condition"

Season 5, Episode 6

It is in this season 5 episode of Sex and the City that Charlotte met Harry. Charlotte meets Harry — who first-time viewers might assume is just a minor character — under less than flattering circumstances in "Critical Condition." Struggling to get through her divorce from Trey (and his mother, Bunny), she finds herself uncomfortable trash-talking the pair in front of her handsome lawyer. But when his bald and uncouth colleague enters the room and promptly spits his bagel into his hand, Charlotte thinks he may be a better fit.

The unconventional meet-cute is all the more satisfying knowing how perfect the fit will be.

For fans of the couple, the unconventional meet-cute is all the more satisfying knowing how perfect the fit will be. Charlotte is coming off a relationship with a man she finds hot, wealthy, and perfect. Trey is her "golden unicorn," and then, when she meets Harry, she sees him as someone who she has no attraction to, and just plans to use him for his law knowledge. The fact they end up together shows how much Charlotte changed from the first season to the story's ending.

7 "I Love A Charade"

Season 5, Episode 8

Charlotte upgrades her relationship with Harry from the bedroom and takeout to a night in the Hamptons in this out-of-the-city episode. The girls' acquaintance, Bitsy von Muffling, is having a summer wedding, and Charlotte wants Harry to wax his back before being seen at the poolside. In the charming fifth-season finale, Harry is forgiving and irreverent in the face of Charlotte's superficial qualms, and Charlotte learns that she can't pick and choose which parts of her boyfriend to love.

It's an important lesson for the sometimes superficial bride-to-be. The fact that Harry agrees to do what Charlotte wants, and then suffers for it, shows her that he might be someone special. The fact that this episode was when she finally lets people know she is seeing someone — even if she is still not comfortable with people knowing it is Harry in particular. This is also the big moment where Harry tells Charlotte that he loves her, but he can only marry a Jewish person - starting her conversion to Judaism.

6 "A Woman's Right To Shoes"

Season 6, Episode 9

Harry, who recently moved into Charlotte's apartment after their messy but happy wedding, is leaving used teabags everywhere. Even more alarmingly for Charlotte, he's running around the house and sitting on her furniture in the nude. Although she's over the moon and married to the love of her life, Charlotte wishes their habits were a bit more in line. This is another case where Charlotte and Harry have to figure out how to co-exist despite coming from different backgrounds.

It's a charming, funny, and absolutely classic moment for the newlyweds.

Besides recalling several episodes throughout the series where the girls adjust to the eccentricities of their new partners, it's a charming, funny, and absolutely classic moment for the newlyweds. It should also be noted that one of the show's funniest moments in all its run happens here when Charlotte says there is a problem with "tea bags" and Samantha's mind immediately goes into the gutter when it comes to her mistaking Harry's tea bags for "tea bagging."

5 "To Market, To Market"

Season 6, Episode 1

In the season 6 premiere, Charlotte and Harry's relationship has grown since viewers last saw them. Harry reveals he wants to marry a woman who shares his faith, and while Charlotte finds herself contemplating converting to Judaism, she's concerned that she won't be able to conceive children with her love. But when she reveals her previous fertility issues to Harry, she discovers it's no big deal to the optimistic divorce lawyer. This is a huge difference from her relationship with Trey.

Charlotte fans will find the episode perfectly illustrates the stark differences between her previous troubled marriage and her deepening current relationship. There are still problems, of course, as Charlotte was pushing Trey really hard to have a family, even going so far as to file for adoption without asking or even telling him she was doing so. Here, Charlotte opens up to Harry early — which is a nice change for her — and Harry understands and lets her know that, which is very different from Trey hiding from the problems.

4 "The Big Journey"

Season 5, Episode 7

After her divorce papers are delivered, Charlotte is bewildered by Harry's ionate announcement of his desire for her -- and even more bewildered by her own impulsive choice to sleep with him then and there. Although it's not the first time they have met, this episode marks the beginning of Charlotte and Harry's non-professional relationship (and, in Charlotte's own words, the best sex of her life).

A very important moment in the progression of Charlotte's desire to find love.

This Sex and the City episode boasts not only the intense scene of Harry's confession with rock music blaring, but also Anthony Marantino's iconic pronouncement that "ugly sex is hot." This is also a very important moment in the progression of Charlotte's desire to find love. She wanted to find this love with Trey, but his sexual dysfunction came in between them and even resulted in her cheating on him, by kissing the hot gardener. The fact that Charlotte and Harry had great sex before ever getting married solved that one problem very fast.

3 "An American Girl In Paris (Part Deux)"

Season 6, Episode 18

In the series finale, Charlotte and Harry have tried IVF, and they even have a litter of puppies. They are finally set to adopt a child. They host a couple whose baby they intend to adopt, but the couple reveals they just wanted the free trip from North Carolina, and the offer was just a scam. Refreshingly, by the end of Sex and the City, Charlotte has learned to have faith that she will achieve what she wants as long as she keeps an open mind — and the couple is paired with a baby to adopt by the end of the episode.

One of the big problems with Charlotte and Trey is that she wanted a baby and a family very badly, but he never seemed to care one way or the other. He even brought her a cardboard cutout of a baby and felt that was good enough. Harry stood by her and fought with her until they finally found the perfect baby to adopt, and that makes them easily the best couple on Sex and the City. It's a triumphant, hopeful, and joyous conclusion to Charlotte and Harry's whirlwind romance.

2 "Hop, Skip, And A Week"

Season 6, Episode 6

Devastated after a rude comment incited her and Harry's breakup when she got a little too over-ambitious when it came to getting a proposal, Charlotte tries to move on. She allows women at her synagogue to set her up with their sons. The pairings are disastrous, as expected, but the unhappily single divorcée runs into Harry at a mixer. Thankfully, for fans of the couple, their brief split ends when Charlotte pours her heart out to Harry and he, in turn, proposes.

It's the perfect ending to the storyline from a few episodes earlier when Charlotte's desperation for a proposal actually pushed Harry away.

It's the perfect ending to the storyline from a few episodes earlier when Charlotte's desperation for a proposal actually pushed Harry away. Instead of pressuring him, and then making hurtful comments that she later comes to regret, Charlotte opens up and lets Harry know how she feels. It was a huge moment in her life, as she always struggled to express herself in words. It also shows that Harry is perfect for her, because he actually listens, understands, and shows he is there for her.

1 "The Catch"

Season 6, Episode 7

Charlotte and Harry's wedding goes off the rails in every possible way, with drunk and belligerent toasts, a stained wedding gown, and a bride tripping down the aisle. However, Carrie reminds her she already had a perfect ceremony — and it marks the ending of her very imperfect first marriage. What Charlotte most wants for the show's first few seasons is a perfect wedding - but in this episode, she's reminded that even if things don't look perfect, it's how they feel that matters.

It is a nice juxtaposition on Sex and the City. The first wedding with Trey seems perfect, but the marriage and relationship was far from perfect. Nothing worked right between the two until they finally divorced. However, she met Harry during the divorce, and while the wedding in this episode was far from perfect, their relationship and marriage were one of the best on the show and Charlotte got the perfect ending.
