Answering your relationship questions after 1 year... 

Usually, I’d say get in a relationship first, then say you love each other. Because you’re still often early days. But you guys have known each other for a long time beforehand, so it makes sense to say it even before starting an actual relationship.

🎉 Congrats! For me, we knew each other as part of a group for a year and a half-ish, dated for a week, then first I love you came out. Got engaged a few months later, then married a year after our first date. In about six weeks, we’ll be celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary. 🥰

You both are the perfect couple. Your personalities really compliment each other!!

My fiancé and I had a very unconventional relationship start. We started talking and a few weeks later had our first date, on our first day he ended up spending the weekend at my place lol, then we were inseparable every weekend after that. 3 weeks after spending as much time together as our schedules allowed I told him I was falling in love with him and he reciprocated the feelings and then we became an official couple and 2 weeks after that we went on vacation together. We’ve been together 5 years, own a home, are raising 3 animal babies, and are getting married in 11 months. I think relationships that start a little more unconventional than usual can be some of the best ones. Happy anniversary 💕💕

Love y’all! Joanna is still the OG for playing the long game and getting her man!

Happy 365days together ❤ I think it all depends with the whole “I love you/ I’m in love with you” part depends if you have been friends first or not.

With my husband it was love making first, love saying second and trying to find a plausible date in retrospect third. We sort of tumbled into a relationship and as we both understood what this was, we didn't even know when the first kiss or "I love you" happened exactly 😅 Talk about your expectations and what's important to you and find your own way to celebrate your love. If big presents, romantic dates, game nights, weekend trips or "just" little acts of attention throughout the year, it has to fit you and your relationship, no one else 💞 Though we do honour our guesstimated anniversary date, we celebrate whenever we find the time. Who cares if you celebrate on the exact date, the point is taking the time with your partner, doing something you care about.

Congratulations on your 1st year!! I'm looking forward to watching you both for years!

yall are so sweet with each other i swear we only get to see a small bit of ur life that you show us but we can literally see it whenever you guys are in a video. all the love to you both!!!!💜💜💜

Love the relationship you guys have! Happy anniversary ❤️

You guys are so amazing together and get along so well together and support each other through everything so yeah congratulations on the first year together as partners and heres to many more to come

You two are Adorable & have so much in common. Always say you Love each other as much as possible. My husband & I tell each other every day sometime multiple times a day, tomorrow is not promised to you and you never know what’s going to happen. We have lost several people close to us and they we mostly young people. We have been expressing our LOVE for each other for 33 years this year and I wish this for you BOTH. I think that your love will last and thrive throughout the years. Bless you Both💐🤗

LOVE the matching sippy cups! Congrats, it seems you guys are just the best to each other, keep that alive!!! ❤

Congratulations on ur first year together, u two r great together,aww ash saying here’s to the next 80, hope u had a good time marking the year,.😊

Congratulations!! The 1st year is the hardest. You both seem much more compatible than incompatible. Ash looks great without his braces!!!

It must be great that u have vlogged and shared some of ur favourite memories, u two r great, is lovely that u have started of as friends and now u can share other great ‘memories together, happy 1st year! Thanks for sharing, u two r each others cheerleaders.😊

You are just perfect for each other. Happy anniversary, I can't wait to see where this year takes you. Good on you, Ash, for saying I love you every day. My hubby does the same thing, it jyst makes me love him all the more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

love this format walk and talk

I just love the looks you guys give each other. So cute! Normally I'd say get in a relationship first then I love you comes later however you guys knew each other for such a long time and were great friends first so I think its completely different then. You are deciding whether to change your friendship to something more and I think you need to know you are in love to make that step

You two are made for eachother. Its like Ying and Yang

You guys crack me up. Such a cute couple.

I loved this one of you both ❤❤❤

Love this video! You two are such a cute couple!

You two suit each other, you're a great couple

Happy Anniversary xx

is it ok to tell someone you love them when you asked them, to be your gf/bf?....NO.. lol.... 30 years ago i saw a man across a room while my department was having a meeting . At that moment i knew i was in love, i knew he was going to be my husband one day and i knew i would love him even until after death. That day after he introduced himself to me and asked me out for coffee, at the end of that date, he looked at me and said " I know i shouldnt say this because we just had coffee , but i love you, from this day on i never want to be apart from you, will you consider being my girlfriend..... ?" ... now 30 yrs later we are still together. By the way , he says that it was love at first sight for him as well. .. so yes its ok to tell someone you love them when you feel it...., love does not choose when it comes to you, it just comes without warning.... So happy for you 2!

This is so sweet... :)

Stupids made me cry.😢 feel like such a voyeur. But in all seriousness....if I come back in another life...ya'll have my couple goals. You guys make me happy for this world.

You two are so cute

I do the same thing about ready to go RIGHT NOW! Like I know I'm late and I'm rushing but if we don't leave the second I'm ready then I don't want to be blamed for it. 🤪

jippi! nothing else to say!

Look at Ash’s teeth!! I can’t believe the braces are off already!!

Cuties 😊

I think yoiu two knew you loved one another before so first day is okay :)

Lo so cute I’ve been married 45 years since year lol oh to be that cute again 🤣🤣

What's the age difference between Ash and Jay?

I think it’s different with you two because you’ve known each other for so long before you got into a relationship that saying it straight away doesn’t seem weird to me at all.

I thought u got together in December 2022.

First from Spain 😂

The listening thing.. I think that's every man lol

I honestly don't believe you can be in love with someone you've not lived with as a couple, married or otherwise, on a daily basis for a fair few years, because you won't know that person until you have spent time in their company where it is just the two of you chilling, doing normal things away from cameras and other people for a long period of time. I will be indirectly revealing my age, but hey ho. I met my now Husband when I was nineteen and he was twenty nine - so age differences do not mean a thing. Was it love at first sight? No, but I loved the look of him and also his temperament, so I was definitely interested. We dated, he was lead guitarist of a Local Group that became super popular in Europe but did nothing in the UK. As I got to know the social side of him we were like chalk and cheese; he was/is far more reserved than I and I, the complete opposite, thought/think once you're out and about you might as well enjoy it to the fullest. This did not deter or dent our relationship because to be honest it was not important to either of us. Where we gelled; became one; was the most important to us both because where we gelled *was* important. After four years of dating, we then moved in with each other. Was it Love? No, but there was definitely a strong foundation for things to move forward in a positive way. We had already had a deep discussion on what we wanted from a future together, so were on the same page in that respect and I think that that is important if you are wanting to move forward in a relationship. Knowing where you both stand and that if there are any differences these can be overcome/accepted in time. Eight years into the relationship we decide to get engaged, well, *I* decided to get engaged because Hubby had been asking me to marry him for about six of them LOL! Was it Love? Yes. Was it true love, the "I would die for you Love"? No. My "I would die for you Love" for my Hubby; when I realised I could not live without him and that he was/is my Soulmate, my Life Partner; was about one year after we got married and three years after we got engaged. I believe true Love is something that is nurtured over time, experienced, embraced, forgiven. It is euphoric and it is painful and it is also just being. This for me is Love and I don't think you can get this kind of Love from a look or even just spending time with someone in a social environment 🙂
