first love story
Earliest romantic tale
The first love story is the narrative of someone's earliest romantic relationship, often idealized in memory.
It carries connotations of innocence, intensity, and formative emotional experience—the template against which later relationships are measured.
Everyone remembers their first love story.
The phrase can also refer literally to the earliest known love narrative in literature or mythology.
