A heartwarming video of a passenger pulling off a touching surprise for her fiancé has captivated viewers on TikTok.

The clip shared by @savvytighe was captured on a Virgin Atlantic flight to Las Vegas, where the couple was due to be married. Since it was posted on November 23, the video has amassed over 240,000 views and sparked an outpouring of love from viewers.

A note on the video reads, "Surprising my fiancé with a trip to Vegas to get married."

The video begins with passengers seated on the plane as the pilot addresses the cabin over the intercom.

"Just before we depart for Vegas this morning, I do have a very special announcement for a young man by the name of Andrew sat here in 4G," the pilot begins. "It's Andrew's 40th birthday today. Also, Andrew and Savannah are off to Vegas to get married on Sunday—congratulations to you both."

As the couple takes in the announcement, the pilot adds another layer to the surprise, saying, "And if that's not enough, stand up—turn around and look behind you."

The couple stands to face the back of the plane, where they discover Andrew's family seated among the passengers. The pilot jokes, "How they managed to get past you, I do not know. But they're all here...have a fantastic time in Las Vegas."

The fiancé is shown to be emotional, wiping one of his eyes with his hand, as a caption shared with the post says, "If he didn't think I was crazy before."

A note on the screen reads, "How I managed to sneak them in without him knowing, I'll never know."

In a survey of nearly 10,000 couples in the United States who were married in 2023, conducted by wedding planning website The Knot, the majority (70 percent) said they were most looking forward to seeing their friends and family on their wedding day.

The survey also found that more than half (57 percent) of couples showcased their love for friends and family by honoring those who couldn't attend their wedding.
