HOW WE MET (I didn't notice her at first)

This is the story of how we met! We're high school sweethearts. Abby and I met the summer after finishing middle school, but I didn't really notice her until our senior year of high school. Then, once we started dating, we were both over the moon with love. We had never dated anyone else and never kissed anyone either. Let us know what you think of our love story in the comments!

Love this 🥰. I met my husband at age 9 when my family moved to a small village (sat beside each other in class), started dating at age 18, married at 21 and celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last year swimming with dolphins in Florida x

As a guy, if anyone looks at the way Matt looks at her and reacts to her and interacts with her, this man is totally smitten and deeply in love with this woman. I adore this couple!

[@zetarabatin3594]

You both give me hope for my boyfriend and I, we dated for 3 months before I moved across the world, because I now live in America and he lives in South Africa. Your story is really awesome to hear!

So sweet and wholesome! I hardly know anyone like my husband and I who were each others firsts in everything as well! He was my first boyfriend, but he had dated a couple other girls. We were each other’s first kiss, and we got married at the ripe ages of 18 and 19! Haha. 11 years and four kids later and we are so in love and committed as ever! God bless you two on your journey in your marriage. Always put God first and serve one another for His glory, and your life will be beautifully fruitful 💕

[@samanthacaruso4738]

Gosh! Y’all are the best and such good examples💗💗

I met my wife at age 14 and we have been married 11 years now! Our culture paints an ugly picture of marriage today, but that’s only because they do not know the true meaning of unconditional love.

Most of them are from the KZbin algorithm, bots scrawling the web. So I don't think anyone can hate on this.

Sad jealous people

[@mechadoggy]

Well, a lot of pro-choice people don’t like how pro-life Matt & Abby are, so that might be why they have dislikes

I have to say, you guys are the cutest. Young love and all that goes with it is so beautiful. As your relationship grows and matures, I’m sure it will be just as beautiful.

[@clarebehrens]

My last boyfriend and I did 2 1/2 hr long distance for over 2 yrs. It was soooo extremely hard. We’re both 21 and both feel like we want to get married; however, last fall, after talking with our parents and other people we decided to take a break and just be best friends. Oh my goodness this break is 4235x harder than long distance. Knowing I have the guy but not being ready is sooooo hard. Just praying that everything works out and we can get back together some day and this’ll just be a bump in our love story.

[@samani3994]

You both are just wonderful- whenever I see your tik toks, I just smile so wide. I am SOOO happy for you both🥺❤️ and I’m so glad I found your KZbin channel!❤️❤️❤️

I just found y'all's channel, and I just wanted to say how much you both are an encouragement to me! My boyfriend and I have a CRAZY similar story (from STL, met through theatre when I was 14 and he was 15, said we wouldn't date in high school, but then started dating during his senior year and my junior year at almost 17 and 18, and have been together ever since), and we're both college-age now (sophomore and freshman) hoping to get married before graduation, and y'all's story and all your helpful videos on getting married young and how you've both made it work are just so inspiring and sweet. I love watching you both! The love and best friendship is so evident and it makes my heart so happy. :) Thanks for sharing your story!

How sweet and innocent your start was. It should be like that for all young people. But society tells them they have to have meaningless, unsatisfying sex from the start. They also Ave gotten the message that they can go from one person to another and not build bonds and history. So sad. You two are blessed.

I have known him a long time.
