One example:
In the film Bicentennial Man, the android played by Robin Williams crawls into the uncanny valley, and eventually comes out on the other side, enough to allow him to marry the granddaughter of his former owner. Andrew and Portia are happy together, but will society ever accept their love? (Spoilers: Yes.)
Another example:
The 1938 story ["Helen O'Loy"] by Lester Del Rey may be the earliest example of human-android marriage ever. Dave, a mechanic, helps to upgrade a household robot so she can feel emotions — and she falls in love with him. Eventually, he learns to love her back, and they're married. But she's faced with the pain of surviving after his death.
