Now that The Vampire Diaries has officially ended, it’s time to look back at our fond memories from its eight year run.

Hypable went straight into the heart of Mystic Falls (aka Covington, Georgia) to ask some of the biggest fans of The Vampire Diaries what their favorite memory of the series was. The responses were all over the map! Shippers came out in full force to support their favorite couple, fans shared amazing stories about meeting the cast members, and a couple of the characters even weighed in on their favorite moments…

Some people knew their pick before we even finished asking the question, while some took their time to come up with the perfect answer. In the end, everyone narrowed it down to one (okay, sometimes two) amazing highlight from their The Vampire Diaries experience.

Check out what these fans chose as their favorite memories from The Vampire Diaries, and let us know what moments you’ll always hold dear, in the comments.

Getting to meet Ian at Walker Stalker last year. He held my hand and his smoldering eyes pierced my soul!
