I think the perfect thing is the Watch Duet from Die
Fledermaus. Do it in English. And have fun with it.

Some others to check out are Magic Flute (can't find my
score, but I know there's a Tamino/Pamina duet in there),
Andrea Chenier (the last act - very romantic), the
Micaela/Don Jose duet from Carmen (gorgeous), the
Tosca/Cavaradossi scene from Tosca first act.
