Mark had reportedly wanted to thank his wife for allowing him to go in the first place, so he enlisted the help of rugby buddies for an anniversary surprise Julie would never forget, according to Bristol Live.
As Mark’s friends exited the aircraft, each one approached the waiting Julie and handed her a single rose. This continued until Julie was holding 29 roses, at which point Mark arrived with the final flower.
