High school sweethearts
意味: A couple who started dating in high school and are still together years later.
High school sweethearts are couples whose love story started in their teenage years. In American culture, this is seen as both romantic and rare — the classic small-town love story. People are usually impressed and slightly amazed when they meet a couple who've been together since high school, especially if they're now married with kids.
