A pair of US college students have finally met on live television before jetting off to Hawaii for a week's holiday together after one of the most 21st Century starts to a relationship in memory.
In a three-year conversation that has set hearts aflutter across the world after being shared on social media, Michelle Arendas, 21, and Josh Avsec, 22, started a personal joke that has stood the test of time and attracted scores of fans.
Beginning with a standard "Hey Michelle" on Septermber 20, 2014, the conversation didn't really get going until November 28 of the same year - more than two months on, when Ms Arendas offered an explanation.
"Hey sorry my phone died!"
After joking about why it took her so long to charge her phone, the conversation fell flat again for another two-and-a-bit months - until Mr Avsec responded with an excuse of his own.
"Hey, sorry was in the shower," he wrote on January 19, 2015, to no response.
Well, until - you guessed it - some time later.
"Hey just saw this message, sorry I was in class," she said on February 13.
The conversation went on like that - neither responding for lengthy periods before finally coming up with a random and poor excuse for their tardiness - until early July, when Mr Avsec finally broke, posting the entire conversation on Twitter.
"One day I'm going to meet this girl and it's going to be epic," he wrote, alongside pictures of their chat - and fellow social media users loved it, his tweet being liked more than 100,000 times and retweeted 34,000.
The tweet proved so popular, in fact, that US television network ABC snapped the couple up for an exclusive meet-and-greet on its show Good Morning America.
And not to be outdone, Tinder - the app that brought the twosome together in the first place - offered to pay for a holiday in any destination of their choosing.
So, upon gazing into each other's eyes for the first time not through a screen in a moment that Mr Avsec made him "blush like crazy", the pair are now set to spend time in Maui, Hawaii together.
The couple will spend a week there before returning to university.
