Long Distance Couple Tried To Surprise Each Other But Failed Hilariously When They Ended Up In Two Different Countries
They flew to each other's cities as a surprise, but unfortunately, they did so at the same time!
Let's face it, long-distance relationships are never for the faint-hearted. Being in one requires tremendous effort and sacrifice from both parties to keep the love alive, even when they are physically apart for long periods. According to Dr. Michele Weiner-Davis, a marriage therapist, "Long-distance relationships can thrive if both partners are committed to nurturing their emotional connection through creativity and communication." When people are in love, little gestures mean the world to them, especially when they come from their significant other. Most couples go out of their way to make their sweetheart happy by giving them flowers, gifts, or, for long-distance couples, surprising them by visiting their partner's city. When it comes to relationships, surprises will always work wonders, even if your partner may be mad at you. Dr. Weiner-Davis emphasizes that "thoughtful surprises can reignite passion and demonstrate your dedication." However, not all surprises are exactly successful. A humorous incident shared by a couple highlights this point, as they both attempted to surprise each other by flying to see one another—unbeknownst to them, they had the same plan, leading to a comical twist in their romantic efforts.
Life's really not the same as movies, and most of the time, sweet gestures don't really go as planned.
Years ago, Salma Saade decided to surprise her boyfriend in Edinburgh, Scotland, so she flew in from Paris. She was supposed to surprise her boyfriend, Finlay McAfee.
However, she didn't know that Finlay already had the same plan as hers.
@SalmaSaadeSalma flew in to Edinburgh from Paris a day early to surprise her boyfriend. But things took a comedic turn when she found out her boyfriend actually did the same exact thing.
@SalmaSaadeYou can feel the panic rising here!
@SalmaSaade
Looks like it's too late now! Finlay has already flown to Paris to supposedly surprise her.
@SalmaSaade
She shared their story by featuring a few screenshots from their messages, including her boyfriend's friend Adam.
After arriving in Edinburgh, she messaged Adam to find out if Finlay was in his apartment, but that is when she also discovered that Finlay was already flying to Paris in order to surprise her.
@SalmaSaade
Their romantic attempts made them end up in not only separate cities but in separate countries!
@SalmaSaade
Now, instead of spending the day with each other, they had time to kill in the cities they ended up in.

Even if things didn't go as smoothly as they planned, you can't deny the love they have for each other! It is always the thought that counts, isn't it?
