Aug 12 2016 - 12:00pm

There were a lot of reasons to love Boy Meets World back in the day, and sure, Cory and Topanga's relationship [1] was adorable, but Shawn Hunter was the ultimate '90s sitcom crush. Played by Rider Strong, Shawn was the good "bad boy," and although he may have tried to pull off a tough image — remember "Shawnzie"? — he had a heart of gold, making him the perfect onscreen heartthrob. To celebrate Shawn's wedding [2] (aka the death of your young dreams of marrying him yourself) on this week's episode, take a look at all the reasons you feel for him to begin with.
