Scottish man who flew 5000 miles to Chicago for first date shares romance update

First dates can be pretty nerve wracking and most of all awkward.

And we doubt any of us would want it recorded to look back on as, let's be honest, we'd all want to look away in horror.

However it seems one couple (one half of which is Scottish) are taking the internet by storm with how their first date went - so much so they're sharing updates on their relationship as a whole due to how invested people are.

On May 20 we reported about the loved up couple when a Scottish lad called Patrick from Stirling decided to meet up with American called Bridget.

The Scot travelled almost 5,000 miles from Glasgow (yes we're singing The Proclaimers too) in order to meet her after originally thinking she was from Edinburgh when in fact she is from Chicago.

The pair have been posting their love story to the video platform where they previously shared their first time meeting and first date as they attended a wedding together.

Attending the wedding together the pair look smitten in polaroid pictures. (Bridget Kelly/TikTok.)

Also known as @fabledbridge online, the pair shared what they had done with activities including going to Toffler’s Pub in Bridget's hometown of New Glarus as well as seeing the Jimmy’s - a live band.

Paddy also "tried BBQ Pulled Pork and Spotted Cow" - which we believe to be a beer.

Not only this bus the Scot shared drinks with the band afterwards and became friends.

People are more and more invested with the Scots-American couple however with one asking for an update.

They wrote: "Ok. What's the update? How long is he staying? Y'all look great together and it looks like both of you are having a blast."

In response, they shared a video of their adventures together as they attended a wedding, going out for breakfast and a stroll around Millennium Park with "many more adventures" promised.

Taking to the TikTok comments one said: "I’m so invested in your love story!! Happy, excited and proud of you!!"

Another added: "Looks like you have been a couple for year's. All the best on your journey from bonnie Scotland."

A third said: "Thank you for sharing your journey with us."
