Who says a wedding is the only time friends get to celebrate your relationship?
A video posted to TikTok by G (@georgiahumphreysss) has gone viral after she revealed the people present at their four-year anniversary dinner—and it wasn't just her and her boyfriend, but three of his other friends. Since the footage was posted on June 20, it has received 2.6 million views and over 290,000 likes.
"When he brings the boys to the four-year anniversary dinner," G captioned the video. "So romantic."
The video shows G and her boyfriend holding a drink and about to eat pizza, before panning over to her boyfriend's three friends at the table.
Viewers in the comments immediately saw parallels.
"I've come to understand if you find yourself in these situations with the same recurring friends, they are the kids of the group and you are mom and dad," @amsomerville wrote.
"That's a family outing now," @candela.allepuz wrote.
"That's the moment you realize you don't need to have kids to start a family. You just adopt your friend groups," @meowornever wrote.
Some skipped the jokes and shared their own experiences of collective anniversary celebrations, providing others in the comments with heartfelt ideas to include everyone.
"We went on paintball with our whole group on fourth anniversary and it was great, now we are eight years together," @p.urbvn wrote.
"We had an anniversary in which there were our friends too," @extraterryestrial wrote. "They all brought a handmade gift with a poem on it too."
@georgiahumphreysss so romantic 🥰

A couple of athletes
In another video, G revealed that she recently traveled to Spain to reunite with her boyfriend, Matt, who is an Olympic triathlete. In the caption, G said she would be away from her home in Australia for four months.
G's TikTok profile is replete with videos of the two running and exercising together, including heartwarming goodbyes and reunions due to Matt's travel schedule. The pair's most viral video from March, in which G prompts viewers to guess which one of them is an Olympic triathlete, and which one is a graphic designer, received 17 million views.
Despite the obvious joke—the two switched outfits to reveal the answer—many couldn't tell that G was not an elite athlete. It makes sense: Her videos often document her alone, or her and Matt running as many as 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) on a regular basis.
The day after G posted the anniversary date video, she shared a video of her and Matt going on a "run date" in Spain. "Love us," she wrote in the caption.
