As prevalent as social media, trends and viral videos are, there are some people who still really do not like to get in front of a camera or be the center of attention.
But everyone has a moment in their life when they really deserve it, because they've done something that should be celebrated.
TikToker Haley Louvelle recently wanted to give a shoutout to her new husband, Josh, who beat stage four cancer before their wedding day.
As a way to start off their honeymoon, Haley slipped a note to a flight attendant without her husband knowing so that the attendant could have the entire flight help congratulate Josh.
The note read:
"Hi!!! I wanted to see if there is any chance you could read this over the speakers? (Possibly near the beginning of the flight so I can have my phone ready to take a video and make sure neither of us have our headphones on yet)? Thank you!!!"
The flight attendant then had the honor of sharing their story with the flight, which erupted into cheers and applause.
""Hello everyone! I have a little announcement to share with everyone. I wanted to give a special welcome to a guest on today's flight."
"A young man on this plane named Josh was diagnosed with stage four cancer in June of 2020. Since then he has had chemo, radiation, and surgery to remove his entire right lung, thymus gland, the lining of his heart, and part of his diaphragm."
"He was on life support two times and was in and out of the hospital for years. He fought for his life and is now cancer-free and on his way to his honeymoon in Jamaica! Please join me in giving Josh the biggest round of applause!"

Josh seemed a bit embarrassed by all the attention, but it was clear from Haley leaning into him and the tears in her eyes how proud she was of him and how happy she was that they were able to start their life together.

All cancer is scary, but when it reaches a point of being stage four many people start feeling like they're facing an insurmountable fight.
Fortunately for Haley and Josh, he fought hard to get better so they could not only get married but also have a chance to celebrate their love.
And it looks like their life together is already off to a beautiful start!
