WATCH: A TikTok comment turns into a real-life love story for a couple in the US
A couple found love through a TikTok post that went viral and now people are watching a real-life love story online...
Love stories come in all shapes and sizes, from going on a blind date, to meeting in a grocery store, to commenting on someone's TikTok post. Yes, you read right, the ways to meet and find love has multiplied since the world of digital entered the dating sphere.
Now, you can choose who you would like to date by swiping your mobile screen, and for this particular story it was a mere comment on a TikTok video that went viral that got these two chatting.
It all started with a video that went viral with around 3.6-million views of a gender reveal party. Lindsay is an expectant mother-to-be and her brothers wanted to be involved in her gender reveal party. So she included them by getting them to dress in pink and blue and be the ones who actually reveal the gender of the baby by racing in the pool.
She noticed a lot of interaction from TikTok users commenting on her brothers, so she decided to start "Project Date My Brother". Her 26-year-old brother, Matt Bannon, is seen walking out of the pool (shirtless) announcing his ready to mingle single status.
