It was supposed to be a normal morning. A woman was getting ready for work, grabbing her things, and preparing for another routine day. But her husband had other plans—plans she never saw coming.
In a now-viral video uploaded by @CanaDaddd, the unsuspecting wife was moments away from heading out the door when he stopped her with a casual but cryptic statement.
"You actually don’t have to go to work today. I’m not going to work either."
— @CanaDaddd
She froze, clearly confused. Was he joking? Had something happened? Before she could ask, he handed her a $20 bill with a grin.
"You’re definitely going to need this 'cause we’re on our way to the airport."
— @CanaDaddd
That’s when it hit her. This wasn’t a prank. Her husband had just turned an ordinary morning into an unforgettable adventure. Still in disbelief, she asked, "You’re not being serious." But he was—and the surprises weren’t over yet.
The trip of a lifetime
Smiling, he revealed the full extent of his plan: "We’re going to Europe." That’s right—he had planned an entire anniversary trip without her suspecting a thing. And he hadn’t just booked flights.
Her time off? Approved. Their pets? Looked after. All she had to do was pack.
"Why do you think I’ve been working boatloads of overtime?"
— @CanaDaddd
Overwhelmed, she covered her face, trying to hold back tears. The moment was pure magic, and the internet couldn’t get enough of it.
The internet reacts
The heartwarming surprise quickly went viral, amassing over 6.7 million views. People flooded the comments with admiration—and a little bit of envy.
"We need to get this off the internet before my wife sees this and gets expectations!"
— @scarredpastry
Others pointed out how special this kind of effort is in a relationship.
"Two people who have kept the novelty of a relationship five years into their marriage. Good luck to you guys for decades more of a happy life together."
— @LankanIan
Not his first big surprise
Turns out, this isn’t the first time he’s pulled off an over-the-top anniversary surprise. For their first wedding anniversary, he did it again—this time with a trip to the Bahamas.
"We’re going to the Bahamas for our one-year anniversary."
— @CanaDaddd
In another video, his wife thought they were just going out for dinner, only to learn they were actually heading for a dream vacation. He had secretly booked her time off, packed her bags, and even arranged for her parents to meet them at the airport.
Setting the bar high
Grand gestures like these prove that romance doesn’t have to fade over time. Thoughtful surprises, big or small, keep relationships alive and thriving.
So, to all the partners out there wondering how to top this—good luck!
