The video of a man surprising his wife at the airport now has more than 23 million views on Facebook. It shows 80-year-old Bernard Mills waiting for his 75-year-old wife Carolyn with a bouquet of flowers and candy. When she arrives they share several hugs and kisses. Bernard says he had no idea the video was being recorded this past Saturday when his wife came back from a two week trip to Delaware for a wedding. The couple recently celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary this past August. The two of them first met on eHarmony in 2007 after they both lost their first spouses of nearly 50 years each.
