Love comes in all shapes and sizes. Itโ€™s a โ€“ usually metaphorical โ€“ fact of life.

However, we recently stumbled upon a story that gives that old saying a more literal meaning.

The Covelli family, who reside in Guam, are big fans of rabbits. They canโ€™t get enough of โ€™em!

They especially have a lot of rabbit to go around with their pet Lilly Sunshine who is, well, pretty big!

Weighing in at 16 pounds, Lilly is the familyโ€™s three-year-old Flemish giant bunny. And guess what? She has a boyfriend.

Thatโ€™s right. His name is Romeo and when Lilly isnโ€™t eating, sleeping, or playing, you can most definitely find her cozying up to her partner-in-crime.

Here comes the funny part though: Romeo is a tiny dwarf bunny who is about one third the size of Lilly.

He is only 4 pounds, but that has not gotten in the way of this true bunny love.

โ€œEveryone is usually taken aback by Lillyโ€™s size, and then when they see her with Romeo, they are even more surprised,โ€ Sarah Covelli, the rabbitsโ€™ mom, first told The Dodo. โ€œRomeo has the nickname โ€˜tiny husbun.โ€™โ€

But it is amazing how their size difference truly does not interfere with their adorable love. They donโ€™t even seem to realize it at all!

โ€œRomeo is a sweet, curious little guyโ€ฆ Heโ€™ll jump on the couch and climb over us. He is also Lillyโ€™s shadow โ€” he follows her everywhere! I think he knows sheโ€™ll protect him.โ€

The two actually gained a pretty heavy following on social media ever since their romance began. Lillyโ€™s Instagram has almost 11,000 followers who all love being updated on the coupleโ€™s sweet romance (posted by their mom, of course).

Hereโ€™s the couple using the toilet together:

And of course, just lots and lots of cuddles:

โ€œThey sure are a special couple,โ€ their mom added.

The love between the two seems pretty undeniable just from photos โ€” itโ€™s no wonder they are inseparable! I mean love is the only reason youโ€™d want to be squeezed into a corner with someone.

Now we are just hoping that they can lead by example and remind us humans that love truly comes in all shapes and sizes!
