"We wanted our guests to really feel the aircraft and experience it as their own. Some had never flown on a 747. They explored the crew rest area, the aft galley, and the flight deck," Mr Chui added.
The couple received a flood of congratulatory messages from their nearly one million fans. Fans praised the unique celebration, with comments like "What a dream!" and "Love is really in the air."

Renowned for redefining action cinema through classics like Die Hard, Bruce Willis, now 70, is reportedly grappling with the severe progression of frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Unlike Alzheimer's, FTD typically strikes at a younger age, often between 40 and challenges can manifest rapidly and vary greatly from person to the grim prognosis, the Willis family remains resolute in their love and advocacy. Their social media messages, particularly on milestones like Father's Day, offer glimpses into their private struggles and enduring Willis wrote on Father's Day 2025, 'I wish I asked you more questions while you could still tell me about it all...
