Moral of the Story: The greatest love stories don’t start with the universe conspiring, it’s usually a mutual friend.

[@nameless9462]

Lol

[@bboy531]

Yep, a mutual friend led to me meeting my wife of 17 years 😊

[@Raresstanciu1]

its always the mutual friend

[@anderstermansen130]

wrong answer.

[@porterdor39]

People put all kind of BS on the tube

[@mikemullay5622]

I met my future wife on a blind date and began a two year long distance across the state relationship. Next Christmas we will have been married 39 years.

[@SamAndMonica]

Oh my goodness that’s amazing! Congratulations, Mike!! 😊

[@anderstermansen130]

sure you did pal. R/TotallyHappened

[@Love-de4je]

Wow that's so awesome

[@ConnorMiller417]

As someone who’s not a fan of long distance relationships, this gives me hope. You guys have shown me love conquers any distance. ❤

[@dragonflytaniilai4110]

Long distance relationship do work. Meet as soon as possible. Keep your conversation open every day! It’s been 3 years I’m going to go next year! I’m so nervous and excited to be with the love of my life. ❤😊

[@FalconFlyer75]

honestly these 2 are crazy lucky like won the Lottery lucky Monica is the literal Definition of Beautiful and could have gotten anyone nearby, Sam being able to overcome that competition is no easy feat especially from a long distance which already puts him at a huge disadvantage and in Sam's case he had several women interested back home Monica being able to convince him to leave his whole support structure and start over in a different country is no easy feat either (even with her looks and charm expecting someone to leave literally everything behind, friends, family, country etc is a huge ask) the tough thing about Long Distance is it usually only works if the parties either have no other options or see themselves as literal soulmates its beautiful when it works but u shouldn't expect it anymore than u expect to win the lottery

[@franceschioma6385]

Yeah

[@anderstermansen130]

you have very good reason to not be a fan. You see, long distance relationships never works out.

[@touchtone101]

Just because its possible doesnt mean its probable.

[@land_banes2639]

Dont ever ever break up. Will watch you guys til we all become 70.

[@k_lovers-k1z]

nah bro i think thats a little bit too much for me as im just 14😅

[@aurostar9805]

Facts 😭🤚✨️ I LOVE THEM SM HELP 😭❤️❤️

[@gggghhgggghbb]

These two have been together 8 yrs!! This is love , they act like they are on their honeymoon everyday❤️,for 8 yrs.! it's just so beautiful. ❤️👍

[@mustafabile897]

Wow they are literally soul mates, watching them makes me so happy.

[@westcoastkidd17]

These two basically won the relationship version of the lottery. Please be good to each other because it'll take an entire lifetime to meet another soulmate.

[@fbreezy777]

As someone who's lost in love you guys make me believe that love does exist. I love how kind you guys are towards each other. Best wishes ✌🏼

Is all BS

Just remember their relationship is a business; not an accurate representation of a real couple.

[@V.DeJager]

my husband is british too, we are 22 years married and still happy, even more! he is still the most kind, friendly, carring person that I know.

[@kaitchar]

been watching you guys for years and this story never gets old. the love you two share is unreal and i’m so glad to have seen it in your videos and content. happy 8 years :)

[@TurkishBenAirsoft]

If only we could all find love like that.

[@devikaishoney6456]

These stories literally show you how the universe brings you and your soulmate together. It's not a coincidence that the both of them felt exactly the same way upon their first meeting and first sight of each other. You know the universe has brought you to your soulmate when you don't have to think of trying to do things to get their attention. I've heard of similar love stories where it's similar to what couples felt but couldn't understand where those feelings were coming from. I love watching you two. Thank you for sharing your story with the world! God bless.

[@linikedemarco]

My absolute favorite family channel. I just love how you’re more and more in love with each other every day, but it never feels forced. True relationship goals.

[@banjopiggottwright1802]

Love is undisputely the most powerful force known to mankind. Sam and Monica are prime exmaples. Love to you both

[@rayfnc277]

Just like Jesus says

[@alexandraashley]

I remember following you guys a long time ago… I for some reason was into watching videos of long distance couples meeting for the first time or reuniting for the first time in a while, even though I had never even been in a relationship, let alone long distance 😂 little did I know that I was going to meet my now-husband on Christian mingle 5 years later. Now we’ve been married for over 3 years with an almost one-year-old. Long distance is no joke, but it was the best thing to ever happen to me!

[@SamAndMonica]

Aww thank you so much for watching for so long and congratulations!! 😊

[@henryperez8846]

Not the video we wanted but the video we needed. I been watching you guys for quite some time now and your guys energy and love for each other is something we all wish to have. You both have been through ups and downs but you two always found a way to make it work and that’s something not many people could do and don’t even get me started on your precious doggo Sonny. Him being part of the family just makes everything better. I’m really proud of everything you guys have accomplished together and I’m sure there will be more to come but right now just love one another and don’t ever lose that love. You two are by far my favorite KZbin Couple. You guys deserve nothing but the best. Cheers to you both and greetings from Yuma, AZ🍻❤️

[@SamAndMonica]

Thank you so much, Henry! 😊

[@jordandavis3867]

This was so wonderful to hear. It gives people like me who don't really care much for relationships or love a different perspective. It sounds like something out if a Disney movie and the fact you're still madly in love with each other is beautiful.

[@jstreit1987]

I've been following you for years, and listened and watch this story many times, but watch how you get emotional remembering it shows how the love that you two share is real :) wish you the best and happy 8 years :)

[@mardo1392]

I met my husband on myspace. Been still to this day doing long distance, something we both chose to do but we trust each other unconditionally, communicate as much as we can. Been together 14 yrs, March of 2024 will be 15 years. Thank You for sharing. 🤗💛

[@___free4ever___]

So nice to see glimpses of true love in real life! Thanks for sharing. May you both grow in love!

[@re.beccafilms]

You two are genuinely so cute and definitely giving me hope for the future. My bf is from US and I’m currently in Canada, he might go home in a few months for work (who knows when and if he’ll be back) but seeing how you two really survived years of long distance gave me real hope that my relationship can last if both of us put in the effort in keeping it that way for a long time and continue to express our love for each other, even during long distance. So, Thank you so much 😌❤

[@AayuRk28]

i hope u too will meet soon! and it will blossom into smtg special !

[@ednaquintana6201]

Hi. Congratulations on your wedding. You are such a cute couple. You were meant for each other. I am a Christian lady, and your wedding was so beautiful. I wish you good health and happiness ALWAYS. Take Care. 😊

[@historybarf]

I’m from Tennessee and my husband is English. We met on a movie message board in 2006 and got married in 2007. We live in Tennessee.

[@halfshallow]

That's a really sweet story guys. And you two are clearly a match made in heaven!

[@luckymydog123]

That's so cute, as a person in a long distance relationship right now, it's hard not getting to see each other every day, but the time we get to spend together is so worth it, he makes me happier then I have ever been in my life, and I know we are in it for the long haul, and yeah our story is not as cute as theirs, but it gives me hope and smiles.

[@Charlton2010]

I absolutely LOVE this, it’s amazing the love you two have for each other…..hope I find this one day 😊❤

[@cristianoliveira7491]

You two make me think a lot of me and my fiance, cause you guys remind me of us a lot! The chemistry, the connection, knowing that the person is, in fact, your soul mate is amazing! And we are also facing a long-distance relationship; I live in Spain and she lives in Brazil. We have known each other for about 7 years, but we've only been dating for 10 months. However, the connection that we have with each other is just magical, just like you two have! It's really nice to identify yourself with the love and energy that another couple gives! You guys are lovely 😍

[@sam.abey.]

This is so damn sweet and reminded of our first date with my boyfriend of 5 years whom now I'm trying to fix things between because I love him. We're also doing long distance. And I was smiling throughout the whole video too, we all need this romance in our lives. Cheers to many many years ahead sweet lovers!! 🥂❤

[@TheOriginalRachFace]

You two are just the cutest! Thanks for sharing your love story! I agree long distance relationships can work. My husband and I met 10 years ago and were an hour away for the first year. ❤

[@robertwiles8106]

For real you guys, I am not sure how y'all ended up in my youtube algorithm but i clicked on it and got hooked and have been along for the ride for about a year now. Most people fumble through life and have dysfunctional relationships they try to abide and make the best of. You two are so lucky to have found each other. All best and congrats on the new house investment. Cheers!! Oh yeah I eat the Nando's butterfly chicken breast about once a week. It's delish!

[@leighanncronin6905]

I absolutely adore the affection you both give each other❣️ Married 35 years, and I've never had that😕

[@paulbaddiley7326]

They are way too needy! Give each other some space ffs

[@touchtone101]

Well to be fair she got her dream man. Maybe your husband isnt really the guy you wanted aka number 1. Maybe he was number 2 or 7. So you settled. Its okay many of us do😊

[@velekorunoski5997]

This is the best video yous ever done! 💯 What a story, as an Aussie born I believe there is absolutely every reason why every person out there should believe in a long distance relationship! It definitely is possible, yous have proved it. God Bless You 🫶 and I hope to edit this comment one day and say that I have done it too from long distance! 🙏 (I have a crush who lives 170km away)

[@JuneTurner-dt4fb]

There is so much unhappiness and pain the world that it's comforting to know not everyone is sad. It's lovely to watch your videos - to see beautiful people who are happy and in love. I'm sure you get nasty comments. Many people resent the happiness of others. (I actually pity them.) Take care of her Sam. She's adorable (from a fellow Brit).

[@shafichowdhury2315]

I had a long distance relationship in the past. I dated a Pakistani girl from NY and I live in NJ! It was hard to keep a relationship with her. Congratulations on your long relationship with success and love! ❤️

[@marktrevor5485]

8 years strong , congratulations 🎉for that and many many more to come ❤️

I just love you guys❤ Can't wait to finish the video😊. PS: You are the most unique couple I have seen😍😍😍

[@jaimeleonguzman4328]

These guys are great. And i hope they stay together till the day they die. Mad love and respect to them. For someone like me who's never had that luck in love and is single atm,i have nothing but admiration, joy and love for couples like these. Do i believe there's that 1 special person for us all? Hell yea i do. But to myself, and all other singletons, don't stress, go mad or angry if you dont find anyone. Live life and be happy. When you least expect it, your special partner will appear 🙌

[@belle7268]

The untold story that must be told! Aww! You two are the best ever! Been waiting for this video. 🫶🏼 Blessings! 🎉😊

Watching all this and thinking about me and my boyfriend who I am in an LDR with for nearly 11 months now 🥺 We're meeting for the first time by hopefully end of November (just right before our first anniversary). I am happy things are working out so well for you two, and I surely hope it is the same for me and my boyfriend. ☺️

[@SamAndMonica]

Ahh good luck with your first meeting!! Make sure you film it - even if you don’t post it anywhere - it’ll be an amazing memory to look back on in the future 😊

[@smilebringergames]

I met my wife through a mutual friend too and we were also living a bit long distance (not as long as you guys, but still countries and some water apart). It also had its hardships due to the distance but in the end we got together and are happy forever. Been watching this channel for some time now, found it through shorts and wanted to watch it all. BTW when Sam mentioned that he had pictures of the moment 😍and the next second they popped up, I had to stop the video and re-watch that part (several times) with breaks to see them all. Very cute. Also still have pictures from the first time we met IRL. 😍

[@sohailzafar7838]

damn time flies too fast. The last time I watched several of your videos, you were still in long distance relationship and didn't have over a million subscribers!!!!!!! I think the last video I saw Sam had just bought Audi TT. I'm really happy to see that you are still together and have so many subscribers today. That is massive achievement!

[@bboy531]

[@kingsleycoleman481]

You two are officially the god and goddess of long distance relationships. I'm currently in one and I believed that the world being a global village now, distance is no longer a factor when it comes to love but you two prove this to be true beyond any other force in the universe. I love you guys so much and will always wish the very best for you. Keep on being the perfect template of how true love is meant to be

5:25 Omg it’s like that episode in ‘Friends’ where Emily arrives in the rain and Rachel puts Ross in charge of taking care of her. Slightly different ending though.

[@kqwerty]

Long distant relations work! I met my husband, best friend soulmate 15 years ago! He lived in one state, and I in another. We communicated over the internet most of our life. We got married 9 years out of the 15 years. So, we got to know each other better

Well watching this just turned me into a very confused person, I love Sam and Monica as a couple but I’ve just fallen in love with both of the individually now as well! Guys you are so sweet, so loving and so cute you make me so hay and giddy because of the deep love you have for one another.

[@ladyday9999]

Sending you guys lots of love from Rome, Italy❤. I remember meeting my love for the first time at the Vatican. When I first saw him it was a feeling I had never felt before in all my life. At the time we were both in our 30s. I never thought I would feel such a powerful and overtaken sensation when I first saw him in his uniform working at the Vatican. It’s been 7 yrs now and I still feel the same way everytime I see him when he comes home.

Once i traveled from portugal to nyc and i met a virtual friend in grand central station in NYC (like Mónica in the train station), he was one of my subscribers and go from connecticut to nyc just to know me! He and is wife are portuguese emigrants in América for 40 years, then last year he was back to portugal and i was his guide in lisbon portugal. This year they will come back to portugal to see my city Braga. This all to show that KZbin and other social net platforms have truly amazing good things! Keep going Sam & Mónica! Cheers from Braga Portugal! PS: we have a great Park here, Gerês National Park, go see some vids. If someday you're thinking to visit portugal it will be a pleasure to meet you.
