6. Honestly, this one is giving me all the feels.

Let’s just take a second to admire the love between former sex worker Rajiya Begum and Abbas Miah, a man with a disability who was formerly homeless. Begum was forced into sex work due to circumstance and Miah was the first person to offer her money without asking for anything in return, despite being impoverished himself.

Moved by his kindness, Begum promised to help him out and push his wheelchair anywhere he wanted to go. They both fell in love and married one another, vowing to always be there to ease the other’s pains. The couple has been married for four years now, as reported on in the Indian Express.

It’s not often that blind dates end up connecting you with the love of your life. But then again, nothing’s really traditional about the way TikTok user @kimberlyj_king met her husband. Get this: She was chosen out of a crowd of 20,000 people at a concert to go on a date with her now-husband. They found out that, somehow, they were studying at the same college, had birthdays just a day apart, and her last name was Jester while his was King.

17. And whomst says you can’t find love in the midst of a global pandemic?

NYC Photographer Jeremy Cohen did the most when he saw a woman — later deemed “Quarantine Cutie” by Twitter — creating a TikTok on her rooftop a few buildings away. He wrote his number down and taped it to his drone, then flew it over to her rooftop. She eventually texted back and they had a socially distanced date via FaceTime. Then, to take the relationship to the next level, Cohen got into an inflatable bubble and visited his Quarantine Cutie. While it’s unclear exactly if Cohen and his Cutie are dating, they did Tweet about meeting up and doing handstands together, which is my version of romantic TBH.

20. And lastly, an IRL version of The Notebook.

This couple went viral on Humans of New York for being a real-life version of The Notebook. After celebrating their 50th anniversary, the man in the photo noticed his wife was forgetting things. She later was diagnosed with dementia, just as her father was. Today, he remains physically close by her side, cuddling with her, and comforting her in times of distress. Even when she’s not able to speak coherently, he feels comforted by her being there. (Aaaand cue the tears).
