“My mom always wanted to be an astronaut and one year my dad surprised us all with a trip to Disney World except once we got there, he drove us to NASA instead and he surprised my mom with front row seats to a rocket launch and lunch with a real astronaut and she BAWLED from joy,” she wrote. In the few following tweets she added more about her parents’ love story. “Okay here’s another disgustingly cute thing my parents did for 28 years. Our hometown has the @WAStateFair [Washington State Fair]and when my parents got married, they made it a tradition to crack open an oyster every year at the fair until they had enough to make a necklace,” she tweeted.

I need tips on how to arrange the lunch tho,” shared a Twitter user. “Okay but like…did you get to go to Disney, too?” asked another. And, the original poster replied, “Yes we did!” A third joked, “He put the bar way too high bruh.” Another wrote, “This is the most romantic thing I’ve ever read, oh my god.”
