A viral TikTok video showed a man taking a chance at a Dunkin' Donuts drive thru and finding the woman he'll spend the rest of his life with.
In a joint TikTok account with the happily married couple, Aimen and Kamila shared their story of how they met and got married. The video has reached over 11.1 million views.
The video was taken by Aimen from his car in the Dunkin' drive thru line. He noticed Kamila driving behind him and decided to pay for her order.
Along with paying it forward, Aimen wrote her a note that read:
"Hey, I thought you were beautiful."
"Enjoy your day, and I hope this puts a smile on your face for the day!"
He signed it with his phone number.

You could see she was smiling ear to ear.
The Dunkin' worker easily could have ignored the note but thankfully for these two, he didn't.
Aimen praised the employee:
"Ay, employee of the year award right there."
The video had actually been posted in December of 2020. Going through their TikTok account, you can see the happy couple growing their love together through their many videos.
They also posted the moment Aimen proposed to Kamila. That was posted at the end of January 2021.

The re-post of the original video of the two meeting has thousands of comments since it blew up as much as the first one.

They posted a video showing clips and photos from their wedding.
They were both dressed in white with accents of gold.
There was lots of dancing and smiling.
They followed up with a video to answer a few questions about their relationship and marriage.
Some people wondered if the card was pre-written and if he carries multiple around just ready to give out to any pretty woman in a drive-thru line.
Aimen said:
"Negative. Nope. That card was written specifically for you in that moment."
Jokingly, he was seen writing notes and quickly brushed them aside out of frame.
Many people wanted to know why they got married so quickly, which is all relative based on cultural differences. Aimen and Kamila are both Muslim.
Aimen answered:
"Quick answer would be when you know, you know."
"And culturally, we just knew that it was right."
"When we got enough time to know each other, going through out parents and everything, we wanted to do it the right way."
"So we went ahead and did it and it was the best decision of our life."
People also really wanted them to invite the employee to their wedding but unfortunately they never found him.
There was even a video posted of them going back to the Dunkin but they were told he quit soon after they met.

Now the happy couple have their own coffee brand called Sweet Eye Coffee.
Imagine if Aimen never took that chance, none of this would have happened. This feels like it was straight out of a rom-com.
