And honestly, it's the basis of hundreds of different but similar types of romance movies, TV shows, books, plays etc.

It's standard story structure and it's something that happens often in real life. Just amplified by social media these days.

But while america can go "awww" as it gets national exposure on morning TV and talks shows, I can't imagine it getting the same treatment if it was a guy doing it. Which is unfortunate, because people finding love (as they seem to be here based on what I heard) is worth going to lengths for.
