When it comes to husbands—or future husbands—behaving badly, the internet has an endless supply of examples. But when a man is loud and proud about his love for his wife, it's unendingly refreshing!
That's why when TikToker @sb.reads started a TikTok video addressing a groom's future bride, the social media platform was quick to assume the worst.
The TikToker, whose name is Sam, opened the video like this:
"If your name is Sam, and your fiancé's name is Luke, and he is currently in Charleston, South Carolina, for his bachelor party, and he was at a bar on King Street called Uptown Social tonight (yesterday) Friday, March 22nd..."
But then Sam's video took a restore-our-faith-in-love kind of turn:
"...I just want you to know that that man loves you so much."
"He could not stop gushing about you and how you are the love of his life and the most beautiful person he has ever met and how he is the luckiest man in the entire world."
"He loves you so much, and I wish you both all the happiness in the world."
Then at the end of the video, per the groom's request, Sam shared an adorable selfie of her entire group of friends, all with huge smiles on their faces, with Luke adorably snuggled right in the middle.
"We are so happy for you. That man loves you, and I love that for you."
"Wishing you two all the best and congratulations."

Some TikTokers admitted how worried they were when the video started.

Others agreed and were overwhelmed with what a nice change of pace the video was.

But to make the happy story even happier, one of the future bride's friends saw the video and sent it to the bride, whose name is also Sam.

After watching the video and smiling "all morning long," Sam responded to the video, happiness radiating through the screen.
"I'm a wedding photographer, and so obviously, I love love, and I've seen so many amazing things, but this has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen."

Now that @sb.reads had the bride's attention, fellow TikTokers needed to hear more.
They wanted to see the groom's response to the video, they wanted to hear all about how the obviously happy couple met, and the most important detail, they had to know if Luke had any brothers.
After arriving back home in Massachusetts from his bachelor weekend in South Carolina, Luke got to see the video, too.
Luke gave a shoutout to his future bride in the video, stating that she was "the best" and that he "meant everything he said about her" during his bachelor party.
He also gave the "other Sam" a shoutout for posting such a great video and memory for the happy couple to keep going into their marriage.
And of course, he had to give a shoutout to the digital camera that @sb.reads had at the bar, which is how they got to talking in the first place, because his future bride was "obsessed" with digital cameras, and he was sure she would have loved it.
You can watch Luke's response video here:
Per many requests, the happy couple also shared a little about their love story, starting with a long-distance relationship.
"Luke proposed on Menemsha Beach on Martha’s Vineyard!"
"When we first started dating, we were long-distance during the summer between my sophomore and junior years of college, and I used to FaceTime him from the beach every day while I was working at Menemsha Fish Market down the street!"
"He knows that this is my favorite place on the island and it’s kind of where the first few months of our relationship took place."
You can watch that video here:
And, last but not least, the couple answered the vital question everyone seemed to be asking: Does Luke have a brother?
While laughing, Luke said that he did not have a brother, but he had several single groomsmen and cousins. They were all "great," and some of them even had British accents.
This all started with @sb.reads' account, where she creates content for the BookTok community. Nicely done, everyone!
