  • 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.

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

  • @SarahandMarek
    @SarahandMarek Před 2 lety +69

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

  • @laurenrawr6
    @laurenrawr6 Před 2 lety +25

    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!!

  • @laurak7247
    @laurak7247 Před 2 lety +7

    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

    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 🥰🥰

    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
