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!
Long-distance love can make even the smallest gesture feel huge, especially when a surprise visit is involved. In this story, Salma flew from Paris to Edinburgh a day early to catch her boyfriend Finlay off guard, only to discover he had the exact same idea and was already on his way to Paris.
What should have been a sweet reunion turned into a mix-up that sent them to different countries at the same time. Their messages, plus a few screenshots shared with Finlay's friend Adam, show just how quickly the plan fell apart.
Instead of a romantic surprise, they ended up with a story that sounds almost too ridiculous to be real.
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.
@SalmaSaadeThat is where the plan started to unravel.
You 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
Now they were stuck in the wrong places at the worst possible time.
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.
@SalmaSaade
People clearly found the whole thing more funny than tragic.
Also, if you’re thinking about flying anxiety and surprise plans, see the dilemma over surprising a partner with a vacation despite her fear of flying.

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?
