Relationships that spawn from friendships tend to work out better than strangers who have met. I think the reason is because the two got to know each other better and have formed a better sense of trust. However, that's not always the case and not all friends can be compatible lovers. Asking out a friend can be very scary because if the feeling isn't mutual, it can cause a rift and things fall apart after that. But I'm glad it worked out between you two.

Just randomly dating strangers is scary because you don't really know them. Romantically crossing the line with friends is terrifying because there might not be a going back.

Even if most of us don't know you deeply, it is apparent that what you bring to us here is wholesomeness and an appreciation of life, and most of us appreciate the extent of what you share from your unique perspective in order to inform, entertain, and connect in general to us. There will always be a few closed-minded rotten apples who's out to bring down others for their twisted pleasures or misguided beliefs, but you chose to stand firm against it while being understanding.

I was never actively shipping you two, but I remember years ago thinking "aw they'd make a cute couple." Then seeing y'all on the cycle across Japan series, I thought "oh how cute would it be if they ended up dating?? They're such good friends." Then I saw the announcement and I'm like *jaw dropped, head exploded* Happy for you two, and wish you both a successful and happy marriage ❤

10 years ago I had dreams of living in Japan, and I watched both your channels. 30 years old now and life didn’t quite turn our like I planned BUT finally getting to visit Tokyo later this month. Thank you both for all your videos, letting us watch you throughout the years and get a glimpse in your lives. Congratulations and I hope you keep helping one another fulfill as many dreams as you can. ❤

Man that video of you eating bread must have been the greatest thing Chris had ever seen, not only did it inspire him to make youtube videos in Japan he also decided to marry the person who made the video.

Still can't believe we live in the timeline where these two are together. Good things do indeed happen.

I saw your post on IG and I wanted to say that, as a barren dog lady who locked down a high value male and didn't have children, you don't owe anyone an explanation for how you choose to live. Some people can't fathom life choices different to their choices. I have found they wallow in negative feelings because they are unhappy with their lives and need to bring others down to feel even a tiny spark of joy. Occasionally someone will ask if I regret not to having children. I can assure you that as a mid-40's lady I don't regret my choice not to to have children. I am happy, and so is the high value male I gaslit into not to having children with me. ❤️ Maro has the right idea. Ignore the haters. Be happy. Enjoy your life the way you want to live it!

Chris deserves a happy relationship! He has brought so much happiness with his AbroadinJapan videos🥰

@@favi677 I think everyone is allowed to change their mind, but I think it's super invasive and disrespectful to ask people this and then if they tell you how they feel, people then doubling down and not excepting someone's genuine feelings at the time. And maybe some people feel the need to be so adamant about their views on not wanting children, because of societal pressure. Overall I think it's a an issue that people sort of see married with kids as the societal standard. It's quite hard to unlearn this, growing up like this I too still catch myself thinking about that sometimes e.g. when I hear someone's getting married. But I think it's sort of invalidating life when you only see this sort of "goal". People don't ask others "are you happy?" they ask "are you in a relationship yet", etc. when being on your own doesn't have to mean lonely. And it's super a super allo-centric view too. There are people that are ace and/or aro or demi and they're not unhappy. I think if people just pressure people less and don't ask invasive questions we would all have a more chill time together. Because I know people that don't really want to meet family anymore because it pulls them down psychologically to be pressured like that. And people don't even think they're pressuring others, because they're socialised to think asking these invasive questions is normal.

Either way, no one should be shamed for their very personal choice! Wish you both happiness:)

I don't know why, because obviously I don't know you both personally; I must say that the fact that you are a couple puts a huge smile on my face and I'm glad you're happy together :) keep at it folks!

All my life people have told me not to have a hysterectomy (I have adenomyosis) because I would want kids someday. I'm now fifty and went through about 35 years of unnecessary, excruciating, monthly pain and the occasional surgery. I still don't want kids; never waivered. Don't let other people try to tell you who you are, girls. Some women see menopause as a ticking time bomb -- and if you're maternal at all, that's totally understandable. Glad you girls are out there or I wouldn't even exist. For me, it's the last leg before the finish line. Good god I can't wait for my uterus to stop whining and finally go to sleep.

If I may ask, how was your adenomyosis diagnosed? And what kinds of surgeries did you have? Did they help at all?

The announcement that you guys are dating was one of the best KZread days ever anyway ❤ wishing you years and years of happiness!

I love that you to are so open about not having kids! My husband and I decided we don't want kids and its refreshing to see other couples our age say that too! Love this video!

You literally pulled a Chandler Bing with that proposal, Chris. Glad it worked out in the end! 😂😂

I have kids and I’m always glad to see people decide not to have kids. I don’t know why so many parents treat it like a pyramid scheme and try to pressure other people into becoming parents. It is for sure life changing to have kids, but why do we necessarily need our lives changed? I’m just saying that the level of happiness and fulfilment will not increase or decrease based on you having kids or not :)

Debt to society and human race I guess. Not to gain anything in particular, but payback. Or pass on life or learnings. I guess people in public life would be remembered for long, but otherwise the ripples we can induce are limited. I personally have taken a step more bach than this. A solitary life, a life with just my thoughts and thoughts I learn from books and other human creations. Time to dive deep into a thought or subject without any knock on door.

Laughing so much at your stories - If you can upset Sharla that much one minute & she still says YES to marriage then its meant to be 😆I've literally never been happier to know that 2 people are a couple. I hope maybe we get lots of 'Sharla - Abroad' collaborations - Journey across Japan style! x

I met my wife at work coming up to about 10-years ago now, we were friends for five years before eventually becoming a couple. That initial friendship laid down some firm foundations to build upon once we started dating. Good to see you both went through the same thing and best of luck to your future together.

I love the response about the kids

I’m really to see you guys happy! I noticed the chemistry right away in the first journey across Japan series!

The friend strat is consistently at S-tier for finding suitable partners. Exposes any unwelcome or pleasant surprises or secrets. Easy way to establish rapport with the person. Makes knowing the other person easier and in a natural, organic, and less awkward way. 11/10. Would highly recommend but i won’t personally try it ever again as I’ve done it with my best friend-now my wife.

I don't know if you guys actually read these or not, but I had to write this. I have followed you both for so long. You give so much to the world and the community of viewers and Japanophiles and on top of that you bring so much joy and positivity as well. I have found so much assuage and comfort in your videos through the years and can not thank you enough for that alone. But knowing you two have found each other and fallen in love makes my heart swell with happiness. That alone is why I wanted to write but I also wanted to possibly send an offer. I know we are a world apart and you don't know me from Adam, but I have worked in weddings for over 14 years and know quite a bit about planning and such, as I am sure you are being swarmed with offers and comments galore, but if there is anything a wedding cinematographer from Chicago, IL can do to help, even if it's just advice or planning tips, I am happy to do so :) Congratulations to you both, to your friends and family as well. This is such a huge thing not only in your lives but also the worlds of the people you give to on a daily basis! We are so happy for you

I literally could not stop smiling throughout this video. As a long time subscriber of both of you separately, it's lovely to see how happy you guys make each other. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤

I’m a child free woman as well and I’m coming here directly from your Instagram story. Absolutely disgusted that people criticize you and Chris for your choice. I love you guys and have followed you both since both your channels started and seeing your friendship blossom into love and watch your lives grow separately and now together is a beautiful thing. I’m so happy for both you ♥️

Im always surprised people still get mad at people for this choice. It's weird.

Ain’t Sharla the coolest woman ever; she has Swedish qualities and “a matter of fact” personality - she’s a no fuss person and I find that so liberating and I think it’s time you start doing content more out of your personality ❤ And Chris; the forever grumpy gentleman with an fantastic sense of humour and self distancing- love you both 💞

Don't feel bad Chris, my husband had a similar experience with weather and unavoidable events interrupting his proposal. I was in on the general timing and we got to the very end of the trip we were on before I point blank asked him if he still wanted to get married or what. I swear he almost cried explaining the series of unfortunate events. He proposed the next morning right before we were meant to leave for our flight and the rest is history.

I’m really impressed by this relationship. You truly seem to connect intellectually and respect each other. looking forward to more videos together and from both of your channels!

It's alright Sharla, after nearly 10 yrs now I take my husband's snoring as a sign of life 😂 you will (hopefully) get used to it. Congratulations again to you both 🎉😊🎊

Chris' life flashing before his eyes at the cat question, and then the immediate look of relief when you said two cats is enough. 🤣 My husband and I had 4 at one point, and I agree that two is enough. We love each of them so much, but it was definitely chaotic!

Congrats on your engagement. I agree with you 100% that when you're friends, it's better. Laughter! If they can make you laugh, another good thing. Here' to a life of loving, awesome memories for the both of you.

Rain on the wedding day is a good sign. I suppose it could be on the proposal too. It's weird watching Abroad in Japan and Sharmeleon knowing we have mutual friends in Japan. Thanks for all the effort you guys put into your videos. I know my wife really appreciates being able to see everything you both show about Japan.

Your answers to having kids is so refreshing! 👍🏻😍 I’m sure your lives are gonna be fulfilling and wonderful without kids if you chose to not have any

"I kissed Sharla in Japan... the ultimate subscription" 😂😂😂

Ugh, I’m so happy because I’ve loved at watched Sharla for over a decade (?!) and I’ve not seen her a lot recently but this is such a nice thing to see 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I often times watch YT videos on the TV so I forget that comments are a thing. So I’m just popping in to say that I’m honestly so happy and excited for the two of you! I truly believe that relationships that start as friendships are one the best ways to connect. The fact that you two have known each other for so long and have that history is even sweeter now that you can look back. I think you both bring out the best in each other. I look forward to seeing more collaboration videos between both your channels. ❤️ Also you did amazing on his hair! 💈✂️✨

"I don't think we need to live in a world where everyone has to have a kid", I completely agree!

The best thing about becoming partners after friendship is that you know you are in a partnership, you can trust eachother 100%...on every level. So happy for you!

I honestly think it’s epic that two of my favorite KZreadrs ended up together.💕

I love this! I've been watching @AbroadinJapan for so many years and then began watching your videos too. I'm probably a lot older than the usual audience for either of you (I'm turning 60 in June), and it makes me happy to see the two of you engaged. I always thought there was such a nice spark between you, so this is lovely Wishing you all the happiness in the world!

Our 33rd anniversary is this year, friends first is a good basis for a long solid relationship IMO, you get to see each others best and worst moments over a good length of time. It’s cute to see Chris blush and go coy when he thinks about the change from friends to dating. My wife is obsessed with True Crime KZread channels too. Apparently it’s a woman thing. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Pendulum is a great choice, I listen to it when riding my motorbike or driving.

Adorable Q&A. I had fortune teller vibes from the Journey Across Japan series too (and Im British, so I got the “Friend” jibe in the frenemy context that was intended). Chris has been the boy pulling at Sharla’s pigtails to get her attention for a looong time! The robot definitely needs to be the ring bearer at the wedding.

After seeing that horrible comment on your Instagram story, I just wanted to say how much of a role model you are. After many years of watching your videos, I absolutely love the content you produce as well as your happy, upbeat energy. I'm so happy that my two favorite KZreadrs have found each other. It's inspiring!

The old inserts of Chris ranting about Sharla are pure gold! ❤

'It's a nice face innit?' Ah yes, classic British flirting. The flashbacks to Chris talking about Sharla's videos way back when were so funny I was losing my mind laughing! I feel like this was a really lowkey video, no music and just the same background, but you guys have such an amazing chemistry that you're hilarious and entertaining and so much fun to watch even when you aren't on a crazy trip together or anything like that. Love watching you guys together so much

Most affable couple in the game!

Sorry, I definitely guessed y'all were together from like... at least two years ago, or whenever I first started watching both of your channels. Loved seeing all the old footage of you! Also, I have to repeat what a lot of others have said, it's always so refreshing to hear people say openly they don't want/like kids. That's so wonderful.

I remember when I was waiting for you to get Maro back home, and now you have a man you're going to marry. I couldn't be happier for you both. All I have to say is humor is the spice of life, and I wouldn't be married and be with my husband for as long as I have been without it. I'm so happy you have that, and you deserve it after the health scare you went through! Congrats!
