New York 7 Years Later, Recreating Our First Date

We recreated the weekend we met in New York City, seven years later! Throwback to our first date. Revisiting the same locations, even eating at the same restaurants. We finally share the behind-the-scenes of what we were thinking when we met and when the sparks first flew between us. How many of you guessed that we were dating before we announced it? 😜

Its so crazy watching the rebuild of the channel. Remembering the good old days of the world flight,biking across Spain, and million view videos . Now it feels the most professional, but more casual. Louie feels more calm and relaxed and not rushing everywhere. Slowly but surely the numbers will come back.

[@pixiegem]

It’s a different channel - raya and Louis is new

[@SarahandMarek]

Can't get over the fact that Louis believed that Lilly didn't like sunsets for like 'years' 🤣

[@laurenrawr6]

I’ve been following louis for around 10 years and remember watching that vlog and seeing clearly even then that he liked you. & I was right! Look how far you two have come, I am so happy to see it!!

[@zsofiaantaloczy8628]

You should do this again with your children in 7 years 😍 that would be the cutest to see your family walk through the city and the kids get to see where mommy and dad first saw each other, such a fary tale 🥰🥰

[@RayaandLouis]

Omg I love this idea!! We’re definitely doing it😍

[@twothirdsostrich]

Aww this is so cute! I remember watching those first vlogs of you two meeting. Thanks for taking all of us subscribers on your adventure of a lifetime!

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you for supporting us all the time! ❤️

[@lifelikejosie]

So cool that you shared this! Must have been surreal to relive!

[@RayaandLouis]

It really was! ☺️

[@SarahandMarek]

Love this idea! And really enjoyed the old clips thrown in throughout the video. Memories like this are SO special ❤️ did you guys know early on that you were interested in each other or did it take some time?

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!! We were both interested that first weekend but nothing happened until a few months later. We talk about our whole story in one of our earlier videos if you wanna check it out ☺️

[@BrittanyLiv]

I can’t say it enough! You guys are relationship goals. Love seeing healthy relationships

[@amyrporter]

You should totally print a screen shot of you guys sat on the bench looking at the sunset. So nice to look back on and see where you started ♥️

[@soniagalat2740]

you too are so cute! I remember the vlog and all of the slow motions effects in Louis ' vlogs every time Raya was on the screen. it was so obvious he was so in love with you! happy for all the love you share together.

[@RayaandLouis]

Aww haha I love that!! Thank you ☺️❤️

[@laurak7247]

I find it so funny that Lilly said that she doesn't like sunset when she could easily pic another more believable excuse (like she had to meet a friend somewhere) and Louis still didn't get it

[@alexandral6273]

What a fun video ! I miss NY 🥰😍

[@thearcoftrading]

So it's been that long since I started following you both on your separate channels!

[@EvalyneNyambura]

Thank you Lilly for setting them up. 7 years later love and happiness lives here.

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

1:43 that is the cutest moment!! Like out of a romcom ☺️ especially because we know it ends with the two of you together! love seeing the beginnings of your relationship 🥰

[@SarahandMarek]

These are some amazing things to do in New York! I've never heard of most of these and it's definitely giving me some ideas for a future visit😄🙌🏼

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

What a beautiful “meet cute” and now you are expecting a baby boy! We found you guys months ago and are trying to play catch up! What a fun video! ~Cara 😊

[@lolsaXx]

Wow this was so cool and really sweet. I was an original viewer back in 2014, it was nice to revisit. It takes me back to where I was in life 7 years ago while watching it.

[@SpongySweet]

I enjoyed this so much, how beautiful to be witnessing your love story, thank you for sharing, almost brought tears to my eyes ❤❤

[@RayaandLouis]

[@Mel.H_]

You guys are just adorable. Totally loved this! Thank you for sharing your journey with us❤

[@themorningmotivation1345]

Very creative way to recap great memories.

[@indylaura99]

How many can say they could make a video like this? Especially 7 years apart. What a great video you two. So nice that you can look back like that and have all these videos that your kids can watch in the future.

[@angelique2653]

Just found your channel. I watched recent one about your bus placed on your land in beautiful Costa Rica. A landscape engineer/ architect is a great idea to decide about stilts or stepped area.....I plan to watch all your videos. I wish you Best of Luck. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@deloresthomas5624]

You two hve produced a special video that points out places that are in tune with nature even in New York. I also appreciate the importance of inclusion and diversity in your vlog. Once again I have to say how special you guys are.

[@ashleyferguson5868]

This was sooo well done! Great vid!!! How special! This inspires me to do this with my hubby since our 9yr anniv is on Halloween.

[@hannahbanana95]

I remember watching the original vlog and thinking that it would be sooo cute if you got together, and now you are getting married. It was meant to be! ❤️❤️

[@VictoriaLopez-289]

I remember watching that vlog and thinking there’s chemistry over there🤭✨ I loved this kinda video please do another one like this if u feel it right 💜

[@11arospight]

Ahhhhhhhhh those old vlogs were soooo magical

[@ClayBowen]

the use of the classic louis vlog music 😭😭😭

[@lizstoutenour1856]

Aw, love you guys ❤ Did you fall in love all over again doing this trech?? More specifically, at the waterfall... Maybe more Luis?

[@malloryzamoznick2077]

It’s crazy to think that I have been watching you that long!!!! What a crazy adventure so far can’t wait to see where you both will go!!!!

[@joymorrill574]

Sitting in Bryant Park watching this! Washington Square Park is my favorite too! There is always so much going on, probably since it is surrounded by NYU.

[@elsienaicker1080]

Good to see you guys back

[@carolynmcfarland2293]

Loved that you put in some of the throwback music from your older vlogs.

[@RayaandLouis]

[@mariolyandrades8970]

[@nandinos]

[@michaelbaker4575]

This was so fun! Especially watching all the old clips, very nostalgic :)

[@simplyadventures1732]

For the sink get one of those hoses that attach to the sink with like rubber and have a shower nozzle on the end. Game changer. Slips on and off

[@dollcakegaming]

Can't wait for the wedding and then babies 🥰

[@Logicalx]

2014, I remember watching that vLOG, and remembering seeing Raya... Gorgeous.

[@desireeanne1851]

Much more romantic than my first date with my boyfriend. We got beers and burgers and I didn’t want to drive so crashed at his icky little studio apartment the first date 😂 and we met on tinder.... welp good news is obviously I didn’t die and three years later we are still very happy! With an actual house not a closet in a building lol

[@janethollingsworth7253]

Sweet romance,. You are so lucky ❤

[@joycady8325]

You guys are so adorable, thank you for taking us down memory lane. Loved hearing how you met xoxo. Hahahaha Lilly...I don't like sunsets!

[@oliviatrue2907]

You guys look the same! Just loving Raya's longer hair.

[@lalakersfan88]

This is so special! Destiny!

[@Mel.H_]

P.S. Raya totally loved what your dad said about the music festival🥰

[@yoanageorgieva9859]

Louis hasn’t changed at all

[@bbeth4]

aweh this is so adorable 🥰 i love being able to watch you guys grow

[@AIIiecat]

What a fun video! I totally remember those vlogs of when you met each other. I thought Raya was beautiful and feminine. I could see chemistry and was so hopeful that you two would get together. 🥰🙏🏻💖✨

[@waywardwhippets2555]

Love Y'all!!!!!! I 💗NY

[@souptime2383]

Me literally knowing every single place you went to plus i just went to 16 handles yesterday day

[@RayaandLouis]

Haha love that!

[@carlamaevekantz8150]

So cute ❤️ and romantic

[@davebroadley6715]

Wow! I remember you guys doing all this as Eve my wife and I had been married for 4 years then and she had taken a job in New York from her company in Leeds UK (she's American I'm a Brit) I was then scrambling to get a green card to move as well so the connection was real. We have now been married 11 years and I have had the worst 10 days ever. She actually fractured her scull in New Jersey last week, while I was visiting the UK she is now recovering slowly in hospital. Stay safe guys and tell each other how much you love one another eveyday xx

[@kandilyn]

I pray your wife heals fully and you get to be with her at home.

[@jluv7397]

Such a fun date to do

[@expatfamilylive9041]
