The couple who became famous by accident and who record their daily life on video for their followers

They are not actors and they do not work in Hollywood, but they are very famous on social media. The Australian couple that we will show in this post became super known for the beautiful marriage proposal that Jamie made to Nikki on YouTube in 2012 — a video that was viewed by more than 4.6 million people. Currently, with two daughters, the channel continues to enthrall followers with images of everyday family life.

O awesome.club loved the way they shared this magical story on social media and wants you to know a little more about them.

A love that was born on the Internet and still alive

Nikki and Jamie Perkins met in 2009 on the most famous social network at the time: MySpace. She was 28 years old and a successful model in New York. He, who was 34 years old, was a video producer. After a romantic and intense start, they decided to get married. Jamie realized that Nikki loved watching videos of marriage proposals on YouTube and decided to make her dream come true. To date, the video has been viewed by over 5.5 million people. The intention was to make Nikki happy, but they saw a possibility to create a successful channel.

I realized I needed to do something epic. I created a video to play in Federation Square. Nikki sat up front to watch him. My friend filmed it and we put it on YouTube to share with the family.

a part of their lives

Suddenly came the suggestion of some users: that they become vloggers. Initially, it was not the intention, but over time the idea was accepted. Currently, Jamie and Nikki have 2 channels: one for family and one for Nikki, where she talks about motherhood, fashion, travel and beauty tricks. In addition, they have an online store with their own products.

People think vloggers share everything in their lives. But we keep much of our daily lives to ourselves. This is great fun, and 10 or 20 years from now it will be really nice to look back at what we were doing.

Marriage and motherhood in front of the cameras

Marriage was what everyone, family and new audiences, expected of them. And this is what happened. The video about the wedding already has over 10.5 million views and has 160,000 likes, a big result for any vlogger.

In addition to practical relationship, maternity and paternity advice based on their own experiences and some beauty and fashion recommendations, the family wants to show their vision and experience in the struggle for balance and love. Together with the LEGO company they created a campaign for Australian parents to stop using cell phones and spend more time with their children.

Social networks serve as a record for many people. They work like a photo album, with the best memories of our lives. That’s why Nikki, Jamie, Zoey, Ava and Louis (the family’s little dog) continue to share, with friends, family and followers, a little bit of their lives.
