A touching and heartwarming video featuring US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden sharing their romantic journey has captivated the attention of internet users.
The video, which was posted on Instagram by 'Meet Cutes NYC' on Valentine's Day, unveils the charming tale of how the United States' first couple crossed paths.
In the footage, Joe Biden reminisced about their initial encounter, which occurred on a blind date set up by his brother. "My brother gave me a call and mentioned that he knew someone from school whom I would adore. He described her as beautiful and someone who wasn't interested in politics," recounted Joe Biden.
Jill Biden chimed in, adding, "He called me one Saturday afternoon and introduced himself as Joe Biden. I was taken aback and asked how he got my number. He then asked if I would like to go out that evening. I regretfully informed him that I already had plans. However, he persisted, saying, 'Would you be willing to change your plans? I'm only here for one night.' I replied, 'Call me back in two hours, and I'll see what I can do.'"
"He managed to change her plans, and I'm grateful he did," remarked Joe Biden, affectionately placing his hand on his wife's shoulder.
The President fondly recalled that after their second date, he was certain that he wanted Jill to be his life partner.
Jill shared her perspective, revealing that Joe proposed to her five times before she finally accepted.
Reflecting on their commitment to marriage, Jill stressed, "It's important to remember that it wasn't just my heart at stake, but also the well-being of Beau and Hunter. I knew that if we were to get married, it had to be for the long haul. It had to be permanent, especially considering the tragic loss of their mother and sister in a car accident. I couldn't bear the thought of them losing another loved one. And here we are, 48 years later, still going strong."
The video has garnered nearly 7 million views to date. Social media users have flooded the comments section with expressions of admiration, love, and heart emojis.
"The First Lady's compassion and thoughtfulness shine through. Her willingness to prioritize Joe's children and not rush into anything for their sake is truly selfless," remarked one user.
"This is absolutely adorable," exclaimed another user. "The way he proudly says 'Joe, I'm Jill's husband' is just heart-melting. You can see the immense love he holds for her in his eyes," commented another viewer.
Here's to wishing this remarkable couple continued happiness and love!
