Thanks for watching our couple's channel! This channel is a space for us to share more of our relationship with you, lessons we're learning and tools we're using to grow closer and to communicate better. We're excited to share couple travel vlogs, life update vlogs (maybe one day even our kids?), relationship advice videos and so much more! Subscribe to follow our journey!
First of all, you're welcome 😂second of all, I knew from the moment Louis said he was coming to town that you two would be perfect for each other and I was kicking myself for not making sure you met sooner. Love you both so much!
Lily Lane you’re a great friend!
Lily Lane “I don’t like sunset” lol
You’re the best! I love your voice by the way 💖
Lily - I love sooo much your song "I get high"!!!! I still listen to it! R U making more music?? ❤️
"I don't like sunsets" lmao you sound like the BEST FRIEND EVER
“If it hadn’t rained in Rio...” 😭 ❤️ I’m melting 🥰🥰
I like how Louis says it sounds cheesy when he talks about love but in fact I think it’s very important for men to talk about their feelings like this. It shows the younger generation of men that they can be in touch and express emotions and still be a cool ass world traveler!
ikr it makes me so happy to see aw
So True! Own it Louis
Facts
Oh i love the way Louis watches Raya while she‘s talking. It makes me so happy to see you two together and thanks for sharing your story
Thank you! ☺️💕
You can really tell how much they're into each other 🥰🥰🥰. You guys are so cute together ❤
She wore that blue dress on purpose. Good job, girl!
Which blue dress? :)
I remember thinking you two had a thing, and I definitely wasn’t the least bit surprised you guys ended up together. Beautiful couple!
Thank you! ☺️
As someone who watched Louis since late 2013 early 2014, I remember trying to piece together when you guys got together so this is so cool to relive these videos with you guys!
Thanks Cody! ☺️
My “inkling“ was when Raya agreed to drop her entire life at a moment’s notice and go on a road trip to LA with Louis... and friends.
Same like no women would just drop her life like that for any man.
Biggest smile on my face watching this and remembering watching the vlogs back in 2014. You guys have come so far!
Haha thank you! Wow it feels like a lifetime ago. Crazy that you’ve been there for all of it!
I do remember those vlogs and I remember feeling certain there was a connection between you both and wondering how it would play out. I also liked Raya immediately and really hoped you would find a way to work out the logistics. By the way, I am here for all the love... I am keen to hear as much of the gushy stuff as you want to share. In this wild and wacky world, it is so heartening to watch true love unfold so thank you for sharing. :)
Aw thank you!! This is so sweet! ❤️❤️
Me, too!! Love the gushy stuff!! 👍🏼😃
This was such a fun trip down memory lane!! I remember Louis and I chatted about if it was too intense and too obvious to ask you to come to China. Im so anti playing games, so I was like... If you like the girl, ask her! So glad he did and so grateful for the 5 years of friendship and adventure that came along with it. You guys are the best!!
Thank you!!! Truly, we would not be together if it wasn’t for you and I can’t thank you enough. Appreciate and value your friendship so much and I can’t wait until I can give you the biggest hug ever! ❤️
The trip to Cuba was the first time i thought..ok this girl Raya is hooking up with Louie.
SAME
I just found y’all through Kara and Nate’s most recent video of the silent yacht, & have since gone down a rabbit hole watching your vids. I loved hearing the beginning of y’all’s love story!! It’s easy to see that you are soul mates. Beautiful. Also, congrats on your pregnancy!! ❤
Thank you so much Mary! ❤️❤️
One thing I love about this video is that you let each other talk. So many videos where couples talk over each other or don't let the other one talk. Plus, the way Louis looks at Raya, so sweet!! Such a great couple!! So glad you found each other!!
I remember that vlog. Dang 2014.
I know, crazy! 🙈
Oh the nostalgia. Those vlogs feel like yesterday! How has it already been over 5 years already 💕
*Such an inspirations to us on cultivating a conscious relationship, adore you both so much xxxx*
so funny to discover the bts haha ! I actually honestly remember thinking "is there something between us" since the vlog you were playing games in NYC !
Need the part 2! Love the positivity. This video put a smile on my face!
Love it! I'm going back thru all your amazing videos! Must remember to thanks Kara& Nate again or I may have missed your adventures!!!
Loved this video! Nice to finally know the full story😋 so excited for your joint channel!
awww, such a nice story. so cool that the beginning of your relationship was captured on camera - not many people can say that!
so lovely to see such a pure, loving relationship. wishing you guys all the best!!
id love to hear the ups and downs part of your story :) loved this, subbed
Loved this! Was a great video and can’t wait to see more on this channel :) xx
I love this!! This is exactly what I liked about Louis’ vlog in the first place: relationships, life, connecting with others. I loved the clips. I watched **all** of those vlogs (lol. I’m a sucker for romance) when you guys announced you were dating because I wanted to see how the relationship got started. What I appreciated in this video was the reminder that sometimes when one door closes and annoying or sad things happen to close one door, it’s highlighting the path to take. I really think that was a kind of destiny bringing you together, and that’s so cool to see play out. Thank you for sharing this story!! ❤️✌🏼
Karin B they are so blessed that destiny had things play out well for them
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I remember when the two of you met and I remember thinking if you two don’t end up as a couple a lot of people are going to be really disappointed lol The chemistry was just so obvious to me. So glad to see you are together and more in love than ever. A real life love story caught on camera! How cool is that!❤️
I’ve been enjoying Louis’ vlogs since 2013!! His vlogs were my escape from my reality. I love his adventurous personality and his positivity! I even named my jeep after him because I knew that I was going to go on many adventures with it. I definitely remember when he went on a trip to New York after rio, then he meet beautiful Raya, and they went on a road trip across America. I knew something was going on when you two went to China!! It didn’t surprise me at all when y’all announced it! I’m so happy for you two! Now I want to tell you this: Peace out, live life, and enjoy your adventure 🌸🌼🌺🌼🌸🌼🌺🌼🌸🌼🌺
Si weird seeing the clips from the vlog of the time you met!! I remember watching that vlog!!! 😱❤️
Haha I know so long ago!
I remember seeing all these videos and wondering what was really going on! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story! Can't wait to hear more!
Love you guys! 🤍 I’m excited to see more content from you two!
Love this channel already! You guys are one of my fav. Couples
Aw this is so sweet! I remember those vlogs but it’s so sweet to hear the full story behind everything! So cute ☺️💕 My question is, what advice do you have if your partner doesn’t open up a lot about their feelings? Have either of you been in this situation either in your past relationships or even at times in your current relationship with each other?
With my boyfriend was similar the "destiny thing". I am Brazilian he is British and we were both in Krakow. We were both in terrible hostels and on the same day we decided to change to the same hostel where we met. That was two years ago, and we have been together since ☺️
Such a beautiful story :,) I can’t wait to see your love story grow deeper 💗💗
so crazy watching this as I watched all those vlogs back in the day when they came out!
I have been watching Louis since 2012 & didn't miss a daily vlog, so remember well when you first met, I loved how Raya was such a genuine & down to earth person. The first time I thought you two were more than just friends was definitely the China trip.. For me I could see the romance slowly unfolding & the deep connection that you two had, so I was more than happy when you finally confirmed your relationship during that New year holiday. I think it's so special that your love for each other is continuing to grow each day & I can't wait to see more on this channel. Fate for sure brought you together! xx
The grandfather of vlogs! Also great to see you guys happy together 😃
Thank you! ☺️
So cute, love this story. I will for sure rewatch it a thousand more times in the future!😊 Btw sending love from Bulgaria!❤
Aw thank you!
wow what a story!! you guys are so inspiring.. I would actually love to see a long term relationship advice or how do you keep the spark for so many years..:)
Ugh such a nice couple. Love the story so far.
I was watching Louis back then and remembered the new York to La road trip. I think when you went to China I was like hmm, but then just thought it’s You Tube, these are people who just go at life! xx
Love this love story! It’s so cool that you two have the shot of you meeting for the first time!
I had no idea!! I loved hearing this!!! Can’t wait to hear more
you guys
OH MY GOD I remember those vlogs! I was one of the people who thought Raya and Will had a thing! Lol, love both of you so much as individuals and as a couple! Always so happy to see how happy you guys are and I'm so excited for this channel!
Haha no way! Thank you so much ☺️❤️
Awesome story - one of the best I’ve heard or seen 🤩 aaawww - I would say ehh Louie asked you to go to China 🇨🇳 there were clues leading up - coming back to NY so quickly was the first -Louie is a travel vlogger & going back to NYC so quickly was a dead giveaway ♥️🙏🏾✌🏽 love you guys & cant wait to hear the rest of the story!! I see a movie in the making 😘😉😉
It would be cool if you can share in the next video, regarding the beginning of your relationship, about the important questions you both asked or signs that made you know you’re right for each other, and if you had talked about your visions/dream lives from the beginning? If so, how? Like are there certain exercises or things you’ve done together? (This could be another video). It’d be helpful for those who still haven’t found the one. Thank you for sharing and hope your love only grows stronger from here 💕💗💕
My wife and I are absolutely loving your new channel! We started watching Louis on the around the world flight with JP (if you haven't seen --- I highly recommend!!). We have been hooked ever since. You guys make an excellent couple and we are excited to see more of your journey together in wherever that leads you and however it plays out!!! Can't wait for more!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful story! What a great reminder that sometimes the things that look bad in the moment can turn out to be a wonderful thing.
about 7 8 years ago i remeber finding funforlouis and becoming obsesed, watching through the same moments you're talking about in the video. Im so happy to have stumbled across his channels again and even happier to see you two together and triving :)
I bet it's pretty cool to now be saying "Welcome back to OUR channel", so cute ☺️💕.
Aw yeah it is! Thank you ☺️❤️
I remember watching that first NY vlog and thinking there was definitely some mad chemistry between you, especially coming from Raya. Wasn't at all surprised when you got together later.
So glad you're still going strong 😊💕
This makes me cry, happiness! I was watching Louie and to see him meet you I just knew you two would be together in the end. I'm so happy with your wedding! Definitely the China vlog was the closer for me knowing you two were forever! Sending lots of love and hugs and hope and peace 💕 ❤
omg this is so cute!!! watchcing this as a new fan is so crazy and beautiful! seeing NEO!!
Love your story, I randomly came across a video of Louis here and there and think he is a very kind-hearted guy and seeing such a sweet, beautiful face btw, girl together is so heartwarming to watch!
I watched the whole video with a big smile on my face, i just love them both very much and I'm very glad that i actually watched your first meeting years ago, how cool is this 😁❤️
Aw thanks! 😄
Omg, I remember all these vlogs like it was yesterday!! Love it!! 😍😍 Thank God it rained in Rio!! 😍
I remember the vlogs at the time! Looking forward to part 2!
I saw that episode on Louis vlog!!!! I love it!!
I remember the Shanghai vlog and I wondered if you all had a thing lol. I’m happy you all worked out and found each other! I’m looking forward to more videos! I would love to hear the year and a half it took for you all to get together!
I have followed Louis from day one and watched while this chapter was going on. I loved this vlog. Thanks so much.
ahhh !!! i was addicted to louis vlogs that time , im just waiting him to upload and see amazing vlogs that i ever seen , and I noticed louis love for you from his eyes or something between you, like magic. louis meet million girls from all the world but i feel raya the only one who’s take louis heart i feel that and i can’t forget how he’s happy in Raya birthday. he’s always happy but when raya in his vlogs he’s happy inside and outside 😭😭😭❤️ True love story. i love u all
Thanks so much for sharing a part of your story: as a fan from day 1 without a doubt I could tell that you both were into each other and mainly could tell from that scene where Louis wanted to share the umbrella with you Raya, I have seen all the vlogs from since you met and it's so nice to see the whole picture with the extra details and miss those years: it's nice to see everyone and realising how you both plus the other guys grew with each other so it was nice to go back memory lane and seeing Young CZcamsrs travelling and leggit having a good time with their friends, that was like the level of being a CZcamsr I was aspiring to be one day when I was watching your vlogs before being a CZcamsr changed in the last few years...
I'm more of a newer viewer and remember watching the Contiki trips and noticed you 2 in them. And how you got along with each other. You 2 are among my favorite couples I watch. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing ♥️
What an amazing story! ❤️I remember those vlogs, it makes me feel so nostalgic! That's so cool that Louis asked Raya to Shanghai, the fact you guys were so chill about going together too just shows how much you are both soul mates❤️ Beautiful couple❤️
I noticed right from the start (even though I was 15 at the time I wasn’t blind lol) and I’m happy everything turned out like this! ❤️
OMG I remember this! As soon as Raya was in the China vlogs I was like YASS GURLLL! You guys are so lovely together. Looking forward to more content :) xx
Loved your meeting story!
I watched those vlogs when you first meet and I wondered if you would end up together. Kinda cool we got to watch a love story in the making. Thank you lily
I remember watching Louis' vlogs every day. I was watching the Happy New Year vlog and when you guys kissed, i was so so happy ♥️
I have such a silly smile on my face seeing you both together !!! Louis, I watched you in 2013/2014ish with the double decker bus. I remember you were in some videos Raya and though you were so beautiful and kind. I knew you guys were soulmates, but I didn’t know where your status was with each other. I’m so excited to see you together !!! I just watched you guys taking Nate’s van for 24 hours. I saw the thumbnail and thought that was you Louis, so I had to hit the play to see if that was you and was so happy it was. I love you both so much and can’t wait to watch more videos. I feel like I found a long lost friend. Peace, blessings and big love 💕
This is so cute! Love seeing and hearing this story
This is bringing a lot of memories from Louis's old vlogs haha I remember you meeting and how weird I thought it was that he invited Raya all the way there when they barely knew each other haha I also remember how everyoneee commented on every vlog about you being together before you officialy told us, but it was so obvious! can't believe it's being that long...
Nice vlog. Most wanted and waited for. I wish to see your kids if you have plans. God bless.
The moment I knew that y’all were a thing is when Louis and his family went to a tropical island during New Years time and Raya was with y’all. Ah, gotta love LOVE!
Love you both so much! I remember watching you both when I was in High School. So much time has passed 😍
Love this story! I just discovered you yesterday and I am in love with your story! And I want Raya's dresses!!!!
Thank you!! And welcome ☺️❤️
what an amazing story!! thanks for sharing 😊!
This came up on my feed today after watching Vlogmas Day 14 with the adorable Neo! I love that the moment you two met was captured on Louis vlog! Can you imagine being Neo and having that moment forever?! What a blessing, rain in Rio!!!
What a beautiful, serendipitous story and that final comment about everything happens for a reason...needed that!
☺️💕
Such a great story!! Found you guys from Kara and Nate - I met my partner travelling and we ended up working together too --- Also - LOVED what you're doing in Costa Rica ---- would love to connect!!
I remember you going to New York! It’s so nice to be able to hear your story years on 😍😍😍
For me, it was the New Year Vlog when you kissed :') I literally had no idea up until that point but had always shipped it!
I’ve been watching Louis since late 2013, early 2014 and I remember that vlog of you guys first meeting! And the Will jokingly trying to steal you thing. Watching that made me realize “why would this be a runninn joke if Louis didn’t have a little thing for her?” LOL I haven’t had the time to follow much of your guys’ journey in the last 3 or so years but I’m so glad to be back watching your new couple channel! Very excited for all your future videos and so happy you guys are in love now more than ever ❤️
Aw thank you so much!! ☺️❤️
OMG!! I totally remember watching that vlog!
I just chanced upon your channel..& i am already in love. Good job guys!
It's soooo crazy to remember that at that time I was so stuck watching Louis' vlogs every single day. Also the train cross road is one of my favorite adventures of him. As Louis, I was completely clueless, I believed at the time that something was going on between Raya a Will, but never tought on both you as a couple. Now, several years later, watching you guys growing up throught this relationship makes me really happy, you truly deserve the love you give to each other. Hope you can share more with us in the future! By the way, had a nostalgic time with the memories of Louis old days! Big big hug from Venezuela ❤!
How awesome that this popped onto my CZcams Feed today. It's nice to meet you....and Happy Valentines Day!
stooppppppp! I am cryingggg! Lily is the real MVP!
It's so funny looking back. That trip on the train was the first time I watched a fun for Luis video. I binged watched the whole series.
If I hadn't been a fan of Kara and Nate then I would never have discovered your channel and stumbled upon this video today when I really needed to hear your message. Something really disappointing happened and I've been trying to stay positive but today I was feeling sorry for myself and the situation. Your message at 14:04 has shifted my mindset for the better and was something I needed to hear, thank you for the reset. ❤️❤️🙏
Ahh this makes me so happy! I think about that all the time. When something 'goes wrong' I just try to remind myself that I have no idea why this is happening FOR me and not TO me. But one day it will make sense :) And it always works out! So glad to hear that it helped you feel better too!
This is so crazy. I’ve been watching for years (unfortunately not recently) it’s so beautiful to see this play of the way it has
Omg I remember that vlog. I’ve been watching Louis for years. I don’t remember when I started watching it’s been a long ass time
It's so weird watching this and seeing what y'all had been thinking back then.
I remember watching all of those first vlogs and 100% being like "ooh what's happening here? Are they gonna get together?"
And I'm excited to see more of y'alls videos on this channel!
Book title of your life story: When it rains in Rio 🥰
A beautiful story of how you met Raya and Louis!. Those little stories that we live when we meet our future partner are the best. They are the stories that one always remembers. You are a great couple. I wish you the best
Lois has heart eyes the whole time!
Sooo sweet! Love you two! ❤️❤️
I remember most of the time when you two got to know each other. 🥰💕 I thought from the beginning you two were the perfect match..... I follow Louis since the trip to India, with the whole London gang (Steve, Alfi, the twins, Ben and others), don’t remember when that was. It’s so nice to see your relationship has worked out so fantastic (lots of CZcams relationships have broken up by now!), and I wish you both all the best for the future! 👍✌️👊 💜🍀
